This highly original drip painting artwork, shown immediately above, took me less than an hour before eating my quiche at teatime. I made three digital versions including this original piece.

As I write this blog article the painting is still very wet as can be seen from the photography for the canvas. It is made on canvas paper with leftover paint scrawlings from making an earlier artwork.

Black and white, noir, monochrome.. always cool.

I named this one Jazz Hip-Hop Edition (immediately above) purely since a music reviewer liked paintings on my WordPress. It has a whole freestyle vibe going for it. Candy delicious.

The acrylic paints recently purchased for me are perfect for drip paintings :]

Here is the now dry Original canvas below:

[Please note this portion of the article is written two days later on 1st March from the wet versions first published on 27th February]

“Drip Paintings #1 Original Dry Edition” required genuine expert level photographic editing to balance the ultrafine tonal contrasts. This is the quality I seek in my work, whether a digital piece or an image representing the physical artwork in digital form.

We have a visibly dynamic timeline effect between the two images of Wet and Dry editions over a few days. The dry edition is noticeably flatter with gravity causing a near pastel smoothness. Whereas the two Wet digital versions show greater depth in the paint drips and light bouncing off the reflective surfaces.

Preference is a matter of choice.

Hope you enjoy.
