Hello everyone!
This video is a bit different from what I normally do, but I hope you enjoy it. Even if you don't plan on trying this painting technique it can be helpful to understand the context of how Abstract Expressionist and Color Field painter Helen Frankenthaler worked with her "soak-stain" technique.
Here is a link to check out more of her work-

That was an interesting film and creating the painting looks like great fun! Thanks!! I was delighted to visit a Helen Frankenthaler exhibit in Essen, Germany some weeks ago. Fabulous!

Hey, thank you for the video, one question if I'm painting on unprimed canvas , is it normal if the paint get through the canvas and when is already dry i can see the paint on another side?

Oh yeah, it's a good idea to have something underneath the canvas. I had paint coming through the other side and onto the table

What thinner did you use to create the paint - please?7

@arthistoryshorts Жыл бұрын

I'm using acrylic paint, which is water-based, so I just thinned the paint with water

Mathematicians, engineers, physicists, etc don't usually use terms such as "play" and "fun" when pursuing projects in their various areas of work. Please don't use those terms unless you are directing your demonstrations to non-professionals. Please make it clear. Also, please, please don't use your fingers to mix toxic chemicals. It leads to cancer. Sorry, I know what I sound like and **** I just got Alizarin Crimson on MY skin!
