Jackson Pollock Abstract Art Drip Painting

Watch one of my Pollock inspired abstract drip paintings being created. Large works of art are great fun but need concentration. The soundtrack is provided by Basement Jaxx. See the finished painting in all it’s detail on my website.

    Not really that well to be honest. They won’t flow very well and they will dry too quickly unless you add an extending medium to them. You can start with oil based household paints and go from there really! Hope that helps..

    Would acrylic paint work for this type of thing

    Hey, thanks for the comment! Awesome! It depends – sometimes I have to let certain applications cure before I move on and sometimes I don’t – it all depends on what kind of paint effect I am trying to achieve.

    This is super great! You are the definitely the next Jackson Pollock!
    Just a question… do you wait for say the initials drips to dry before applying another color or is this really continuous? thanks!

    Hey Dave. I used mainly oil-based glosses on this one but normally I find that industrial grade enamels work best, dosed with some cellulose thinners where needed.

    @panamanubian Hey. I don’t use brushes. I used oil-based gloss paints. Types ‘Swarez’ into Google and check out my website. You can see details of the painting and how it was made on there. Cheers, Swarez.

    Yes, I think you should have used techno – popcorn remix. Suits the art :)

    Great artwork but the soundtrack got me dancing around the living room and forgot you actually wanted me to spend some money! Perhaps next time… Keep up the awesome art, OK?
