Dear Actionists,
following the invitation of @aksinya (which she made in this post), here comes my entry of an action-painting I did with acrylic paint on cardboard yesterday evening.
Here are some details:
The Music
I started by painting the cardboard using black acryls.
The music, I was listening to, was one of my favorite Jazz albums from the Swedish jazz pianist Esbjörn Svensson, who sadly died in 2008 during a scuba diving session way too early. I basically started listening from 1:17 min with a song called "Premonition I. Earth", which is the first song at the vinyl album.
Here is the whole album at youtube:
Esbjörn Svensson Trio - Leucocyte
The process
You can see that I started dripping basic colors like red, blue, yellow and green on the black background.
Then I got this blurry colored background.
And even more colors.
Then I got this blurry colored background.
And even more colors.
After that I smudged the colors using a brush.
And started dripping colors again:
Until the song ended and I had this colorful painting!
Here it is again in full glory:
"Premonition", Acrylic on cardboard (2017), approx. 110 x 68 cm (43 x 27 inch)
Hope you like it - Thanks for watching!

Cool stuff. Thanks for putting us onto Svensson, this album is delicious. Do you know exactly what happened at that scubba dive session? That's a weird way to go.

Thanks, I love this album so much! There is some information about the accident in his wiki-article. That's all I know. He just died too early...

Ja, die erste Version fand ich auch schon ganz gut, aber vielleicht war mir das zu einfach. Außerdem war das Lied noch nicht zu Ende... ;-)

Nice, i always loved this style, because it might be something i would manage to do in a way lol it does get messy in workplace doesn't it? :)

Yes, but it's important to make yourself free from those fear of messing up the workingplace. When I was younger I never cared about some paint on my walls or the carpet, but while getting older I try to use more plastics or fleece to cover up everything. If everything is prepared, it could be lots of fun ;-)

Hmmm, i think i will have to try it, but i will take things outside lol Do you have to prepare acrylic paint for it somehow special? Because as far as i know, the one u use for painting is quite stif.. Or you just use acrylic paint used to paint houses? lol

I used these SOLO GOYA 17800 - Triton Acrylic Basic Power Pack from amazon. They are ready to go, you can drip the colors right from the bottle.
When I started, I also often just used tinting paint from the hardware store and painted on brown wrapping paper. This is way cheaper and also gives some good results.
