Self Portrait with Action Painting. Tempera Paint on Canvasboard. 2016.



I have created a homage to Jackson Pollock with action painting. I chose to paint the background with different shades of dark gray. I chose to drizzle and drip bright colors that would stand out.Using bright colors made it more upbeat and exciting. Drizzling and dripping the paint caused me to use the paint brush in different ways. My self portrait is in different shades of grey to have it stand out from the background. Using the different shades of grey and the bright colors shifts the eyes all around the painting.
