So I don't think it's random. I rather guess it's quite intricately planned as a sequence somewhere.<br /><br />Not fluid acrylics. I've used them and they are much much thinner than this, almost a watery consistency. These look more of a latex to me or possibly a heavier acrylic mixed with a pouring medium. Or, given the sheer quantities he's using, he may even have a custom consistency created by a manufacturer. I know Golden do that.<br /><br />Must watch it again now. :)Tina Mammoserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407199513409994699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-81856259981183490652011-02-26T23:03:12.669+00:002011-02-26T23:03:12.669+00:00I've done a similarish thing with different co...I've done a similarish thing with different coloured opaque glass melted through the hole of a suspended terracotta flowerpot in a kiln.

I like it but I also like making wet sand gaudi style sand castles, its playing, which has its place but its a performance and a film, I am not sure if it needs to be in a gallery, although they do look pretty on a wall! Once you have seen it done, maybe had a go your self, a bit like Damien Hursts aintings, meaningless and a bit boring!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14193935968877679533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-89253948292822622312011-02-26T21:36:16.718+00:002011-02-26T21:36:16.718+00:00There are actually a number of ways you can modify...There are actually a number of ways you can modify the viscosity. They may be using traditional art supplies. They may be using some of the various additives that are available for industrial paint manufacture and processes. <br /><br />It's also possible that the later pours do not have the same rheological characteristics (viscosity and thinning properties) than the earlier ones so that they stay on the sides. In that case the colors would have to be planned to some extent.<br /><br />(Materials Engineer/Chemist in my previous job.)<br /><br />That is definitely pretty darn cool. I love the effect.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13239494605828702592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-35196194433514345392011-02-26T20:15:16.068+00:002011-02-26T20:15:16.068+00:00Quite fascinating.

I'm thinking the biggest challenge is making sure all the horizontal surfaces are level before starting the pours. The colors appear to be applied randomly, working mostly from instinct. It's something I've never seen done before so thanks for posting, Katherine.:)Billie Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336330932102277633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-88909180296035057382011-02-26T17:27:02.114+00:002011-02-26T17:27:02.114+00:00I have no idea about sequence or viscosity, but I ...I have no idea about sequence or viscosity, but I was moved by the beauty and simplicity of the process.<br />Fascinating.Gary Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02283560376212654045noreply@blogger.com
