Paint Pouring Video- first try

Mixture of acrylic paint, PVA glue and water. Accidentally added too much water making the mixture too runny and colour dried faded. Also the paint colours mixed easily, losing the original colours. Here is a photo of blue and red mixture together, i really like the blued edges as you can see it slowly change into purple. I found that when i moved the page the blue mixture was hidden underneath the purple and became dominant. However, eventually the red mixed in and took over. To improve this i woul.d like to try different combinations of colours and see how they mixed together. Additionally, add less water so the mixture is not too runny on the page.

The remainder of the mixture ran off onto the page below, I moved the page around to watch the colours interact and mix as it moved so freely. Similar to how the dancers should move towards the end of the song visuals as they are calm and in control. Furthermore, i was intrigued by the light reflected in the wet paint that moved with my slight movements as if the light was dancing. I would like to experiment with light and how it can add meaning to a piece as well as move in water/paint and glass.

Paint and PVA Glue Experiment Continues

Using the same mixture i used for the second net experiment. I dripped the paint on the acetate. It looked really beautiful when it was wet, especially how the colours mixed and moved together. Unfortunately i lost the detail slightly as it dried. The colours became more dull and the mixture was weak which showed once dry. There is still really nice sections like the yellow turning green in the blue and how the blue crosses over to red. Unfortunately, some drips broke when pulled up due to the weakness. To improve this i will make a stronger mixture and build up the drips with layers so they are thicker. I decided to use a different PVA glue which worked really well with the paint. However, i used it differently so didnt find out if the first PVA glue was the mixtures problem. I poured PVA glue onto acetate which had some yellow and green print marks on. I did this as the glue picked up the colours on the back. Then i painted on the glu...

Mark Making

Earlier this week i was doing some spray painting and using a plant pot to stand the object on. Once i had finished i discovered i had created lines on the pot that faded out. I fell in love with the bright colours together and lines they had created. The way the colours faded out together softly into the natural pot reminded me of the ideas i thought of when on the Island of Spinalonga. The ruins and bare bricks with brightly painted colours over the top, or dancers in colourful skirts. Spray painting could be used to create movement in the skirts. I wanted to focus on mark making and using basic small materials such as string and tape. Using a yellow highlighter, i created random lines on the page and added some small pieces of tape. Then using a piece of string i lay it down creating loops mimicking the shape of a dancers body. Using charcoal i scraped it over the page. I aimed for the charcoal to cover the highlighter but it still showed throug...
