    I just got into abstract art through acrylic pouring. When you talk about the act of doing the painting being just as important as the painting itself. This style of painting is really therapeutic ! Thanks for the video!

    Hi, yes.... I agree with what you said about letting the paint dry a little or entirely before moving to the next color.... Because it gives a layered pattern to it. When the colors overlay from one another ...the end result is very appealing i think. The only problem is waiting for it to dry.... So either the sun or a blowdryer....haha. nice work nevertheless....

    Great video. I have seen this painting style used with all ages and it is inspiring to watch . I did a large canvas( 12' x 4') in the Pollock style: white on black only in 1991). I use oil based enamel Rust-oleum. Today, it is still in remarkably good condition: no cracks or fading. I did not do any finish coat (varnish). I also used 10 oz plastic squeeze bottles. Thankfully, I could not find Peggy Guggenheim;s fire place to add a signature.....

    I worked for some guy in new York, Peter Bradley, back in the early 80's...he did this kind of thing, he used a squeegees on a stick as well. To push paint about. I worked for R Lerner,another abstract painter, he folded and creased the canvas then started spraying paint (thick and drippy like a garden watering hose. What I like about this style is the subject, the doing and the resulting finished physical object are closely related

    This is very cool. In addition to turkey basters he used stiff brushes and put a stick in a can and dripped directly from the can. I guess he also pushed paint sometimes and also used feathers and broken glass. Very interesting character, I'd like to try this sometime.

    • @CotySchwabe

    LOVE IT!!! Even the blending of colors is really cool. You know I'm a big fan of your Pollock style. So many people think it's easy to paint this way but I know it's not. You've got a wonderful way of painting this way. Thank you for doing this; I would like to see more. Maybe even do another one with acrylics? What might be fun is to do a 'scrape' painting (Richter), let it dry, and then do the Pollock style over the top. Keep up the good work Coty!!!

    He dripped, too. Didn’t just splatter
    His brush or stick was usually closer to the canvas
    You probably know this, but he waited for the color to dry before he added another color
    His lighter colors were usually placed first
    He used brushes and sticks…different size sticks.

    • @DanFernandesBenficaSaint
      @DanFernandesBenficaSaint ปีที่แล้ว

      Almost like a Rembrandt 🤦🏻 JP was a CIA asset used to bring down western art because at the time there were prominent Russian artists that were actually very good promoting the motherland. I don’t care who you are, you cannot paint a Rembrandt. So, really, what is the skill in fucking paint splatter?! 😂 If people didn’t laud mediocrity then it wouldn’t have a place at the table. Lauding this as “art” is like praising your child just for turning up to his exam. Maybe getting good grades as a reward for all the hard work and effort that goes into getting that grade? No, we’ll just say the fact your ass was in class as good enough.

Special technique? I want to keep it looking like it does when I squeeze it out of the tube. I am brand new to painting, but it does seem that artist who glop on tons of paint tend to achieve this?

      Well, different paints dry differently. Varnish can help with the paint looking glossy, but most paints will lose some of their color. I use gloss enamel, which looks glossy even after drying.

    This simply proves that there is much more to Pollock's painting than randomly dripping and throwing paint on a canvas.

    This kind of crap is for those with no artistic talent. Those 'art experts' that praise and 'explain' Pollock's slop don't fool anyone except themselves. They spout their pseudointellectual vomit in a similar manner that Pollock dribbled paint. If Pollock had shit on some paper, smeared it around and then puked over it, these posers in the art world would class it as a masterpiece of action art.
    I very much doubt that you have the talent to give us a step by step tutorial of how to paint like Vincent van Gogh, Rembrandt, Salvador Dali or John Constable.

      I find it a nice way of drawing and painting, any new way of painting can be fantastic and inspire others those are not real artist to express their feelings in such painting and not necessary in actual drawing, thanks for your video

      Lady Abbassa. I agree that slopping paint around is fun for those who don't have the skill or talent for real art. My girlfriend enjoys smearing paint on her naked body and then transferring it to canvas.
      The problem begins when people like Jackson Pollock, Damien Hirst, Karel Appel and Tracey Emin get backers from marketing and business to promote and present their rubbish as art. And the more controversial they are the more they gloat in pretension masquerading as serious works of art.
      Also, there are those who admire and praise Pollock for being the one who originated this form of expression. The truth is that others were doing this before Pollock. He began dribbling paint around after he had seen the work of Janet Sobel because he knew that he didn't have the talent for anything better.
      The talent for these phonies is not in the product itself but in getting marketers within the industry to hype and convince the public that the emperor's new clothes are fantastic.

      Art is what you make it. And it also in the eye of the beholder. If you think it's shit, then that's fine; that's your opinion and people should respect that. But don't say that it's shit and present it as a fact, just because that's what you think; if others think that it is a good piece of art then respect their opinions as well in the same way they respect yours. All art is good art, and all art is unique; don't take that away from it just because that's what you think, please. I respect your views and opinions, now please do the same for others. Thank you. Have a nice day.
      P.S: Sorry if I came across as being nasty because that wasn't my intent.

      The Masked Musician. You don't come across at all as being nasty, you are very kind and considerate in your comment.
      What I don't like is when people who know they have no artistic talent persist in claiming that they have artistic talent and present, for example, an unmade bed covered and surrounded by everyday trash as a work of art. This so-called 'work of art' is presented to the public by pretentious 'art experts' who praise this 'creation', going on to glorify the 'artist'. It is this dishonesty within the art world that gets my goat. It is the emperor's new clothes syndrome.
      If you had enough influence, you could plonk your laundry basket full of dirty clothes on an art gallery floor and claim it to be a masterpiece of art, hitting the front cover of newspapers and commanding a hundred thousand dollars for it.
      Also, I guess that I will have a long wait for the maker of this video to present us with a step by step tutorial of how to paint like the masters that I have mentioned previously :)

      @@spellbound111 Again, all art is unique and commands their own methods; Pollock had his drip method and Van Gogh had his directional brush strokes. Some people are better suited to certain types of art, whereas others aren't. The art world is very much a chalk and cheese scenario; either you like it, or you don't. Either way, there is no right or wrong. Thank you for sharing your opinion; it is very much valued in this world. Again, have a nice day my friend. :)

    Splashing paint is not art. Pollock was unique but the outcome is people thinking that throwing paint like him makes them an artist.

      It isn’t splashing paint though…it’s one’s interpretation and personal touch. There’s nothing wrong with action painting and like Pollack, a person can improve with practice…imagine if Picasso listened to the critics who said he wasn’t an artist 🙄🤔
