I experimented alot, few ideas that came across when starting my new project. first day I had a tea bag, I dragged it, ripped it, smothered it, put paper ontop, rolled on it, and then finaly traced ontop with chalk, great start, not what I want to pursue.
Experimenting with different paints, Watercolour, Oil and acrylic. I applied it to a peice of paper next to eachother and dragged it, to see how it would react; oil stopped first, acrylic second and watercolour kept going, pleased with the results of said reaction I made ‘rainbows’ out of it, using the left over paints. and applied the drip technique.
The experiment that I enjoyed the most is putting paint in paper, scrunch, crunch, rub and, drag, to create creases, lines and all types of unpredictable shapes, shades and colours. I would like to continue this idea with future paintings.
@theartofjaleh is a favourite artist of mine, he creates all types of unpredictable abstract art, one day while I was on tik tok I saw this video and was inspired to use the squeegee to create elaborate paintings, I did a more simplified version to test it out, realised it wasent for me, but good to try.

Morris Louis, An American abstract artist, during the 1950s he experiemnetd with paint and colour. His simple approach inspired me, but (like I said before) it wasent for me.
Lee Ufan, a Korean Artist, painted, sulptor and academic who focuses on the relationship between the viewer and the art peice. His minimalistic approach to paintings inspired me, through this painting I noticed the obre in the ink/paint, I wondered what he used and if i could recreate such technique, I felt I acomplished this tast with my re creation.
