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...

Netting

      I poured the remainder of the acrylic, water and PVA glue mixture onto the netting. I created this folds by tying the end together. I wanted the folds so the netting was similar to an underskirt with layers that the dancers would be wearing. I wish i filmed the paint dripping on it as i was surprised to see the paint run off as if it was on paper and not holes.      I really like this photo of the netting, alone on a black background. It makes the white pop and look unusual as the background is so clean compared to the netting. Unfortunately, the paint dried a little dull, i think if it was more vibrant it would really add another layer to this photo.     To develop this i would like to try placing the netting differently for different styles of layering it. Additionally, i could paint each layer a separate colour then see how they show through altogether.      I took these photos to see inside the netting whilst the paint ...
