Giving Up Control: Pours


The process of creating paintings through pouring paint was that you pour a couple colors of watery paint on a piece of paper and then it will turn into large circles or blobs. Then, you take the paper and move it around, so the colors can ix together and form a shape or figure. After, you can grab a paint and see if you can make your original shape and se if you can make it more real. It felt better to give up some control over the shapes I created because I got to see how the watery paint turned out, by just pouring it on the paper, rather than using a paintbrush and creating my own drawing and knowing how my shape turns out.

  1. can you imagine approaching the work you do with a brush in the same relaxed way? how would it change the outcome of your work if you did?

  2. I can not imagine approaching my work with a brush in the same relaxed way because then it would have a regular art project, by creating anything you will like, rather than pouring paint on a piece of paper and making something that you don't expect. It would change the outcome of my work because the painting would come out how I wanted to, rather then something I would never expect to appear on my paper.
