Splatter Painting on Canvas, Jackson Pollack Influence.
Splatter or Drip Painting is done in a variety of ways.

  Although most Splatter Painting is automatically attributed to Pollack, that is because of his "Popular" Status. His style was physical, arm heavy and large scale. Splattering is the after effect. but he actually Drew with dripping Paint and he flung or threw controlled drips from the end of his brush. In my exploration, I see his after imagery which I reflect as influence, but my technique is Small Scale, Painted with a thin Stream from a 4 oz squeeze Bottle. I use a series of controlled splats ( short spurts )
 patterned drip lines with some almost touch drawing.
