Doodling while listening to Neil Young. This is perhaps the last in the series I did beginning #0058, while they are fun to do, and I like to revisit various styles, I think I have done my dash with these.

Salvaged

The word salvage came mind – it seemed like a pile of old stuff. This is a distorted glimpse in a direction I want to follow, but only a glimpse. I was experimenting with “Deep Paint” which is dramatic in how it handles light and relief in the strokes. However adding light to create pseudo relief to a flat surface is one of the fake aspects of the digital work I don’t like. Many of my sketches have it, and it does seem to work in some ways. Perhaps I should get over it? But no, I think I will avoid it from here on.

Deep paint creates layers which it uses to build the relief. Below in this post are three used to create this one. I almost prefer each layer in its own right.

When I say a glimpse, it is because one day I will do large abstract, colourful, rich oils, they will have relief, this a sketch!

What do you think?

Playing Pollock 1

#306 Playing Pollock 1
Click for larger image.

This and the next few were done using a really funny flash animated tool on the web: Here Have a go! I confess, in the past, having some disdain for splashing paint as Pollock did. That changed in two steps. One was seeing an original in the Dunedin art gallery about 5 years go. It was quite a small painting and the texture was created with small splashes. The painting was subtle and finely executed, notions I would not have associated with Pollock through my media fed ignorance. The second thing was the Ed Harris movie. Maybe he was more unlikeable in real life, and his wife may be more instrumental in the development of the form than portrayed, but the one thing I love & it is shown well in the movie, was the way he danced his paintings into life, he moved with grace, Ed Harris took years to learn that for the film.

So, here are a few playfully splashed, using the Flash toy. Thanks to whoever made the software.
