How Pollack created
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EncR_T0faKM&list=WL0A3117ED5606BEB7
I tried this once. Placing my canvas on the floor and moving around it dipping and splashing paint like Pollack did. I found it fun and freeing, but also frustrating because the paint wanted to pool too much. I guess that had to do with the way the canvas was produced. Paper is much better to use. But not just any paper. Water color paper buckles too much, so I recommend Arches cover paper. http://www.danielsmith.com/Item--i-G-159-370
