I'm no artist, but I found myself intrigued by these alternatives to brushes for creating paintings. Artsy has examples with photos and explanations for painting with splattering and dripping, pouring, pulling and scraping, body printing, air brushing, and digital printing. I can see me trying these on a small scale just for fun. Well, all but the naked body printing. That ain't gonna happen. Airbrushing, hmmm, I wonder what small substitute for an industrial tool I could use for that....
Here's one of their examples for each of the techniques:
Splattering and Dripping
 |
| Jackson Pollock, 'Number 1, 1949' |
Pouring
 |
| Helen Frankenthaler, Cool Summer |
Pulling and Scraping
 |
| Gerhard Richter, Bach (1) |
Body Printing
 |
| Yves Klein, Anthropometry of the Blue Period (ANT 82) |
Airbrushing
 |
| Ed Ruscha, OH and NO |
Digital Painting
 |
| David Hockney, Yosemite II, October 16th 2011 |
Here's my teapot, teacup, and raisin bread toast I'll be having:

I can see why the main picture caught your eye with the lovely teapot and I loved seeing all the different painting techniques, it would be so much fun to try them all out, wouldn't it! Thanks for sharing and the inspiration 😁. I love your pretty white teapot and beautiful blue leaf cup and saucer! Your choice of tea and fruit bread looks so delicious - yum 😉. Wishing you a very Happy T Tuesday! J 😊
ReplyDeleteThose arty experiments sound like fun, it's good to try new methods. I like the sound of raisin toast, too, yummy! Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeletewhat a super post, love it!!
ReplyDeletehappy t-day:)
always fun to experiment with different styles of art/painting etc. I have seen some of Jackson Pollock's paintings in person and they are fascinating-so much color and all to take in. Thanks for sharing and happy T day!
ReplyDeleteI love to try out all art techniques ... great post!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing that article on different ways of painting. I am going to have a look at it properly in a minute. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI love your blue cup and the tea bread. Toasted tea bread is my favorite.
About the partridge.... unfortunaly here they keep partridges as game birds. I think that means they will get shot at. Such a shame, they are beautiful birds. I feel for them also because they live their lives in such a small cage. Lots of people have them and the cages usually hang on the outside Wall of the house (weather permitting).
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
Thx! Interesting. I was picturing them in something like a chicken coop. Now I want partridges lol
DeleteBody printing wouldn't be my cup of tea, either, though actress, Farrah Fawcett, used to roll all over large sheets of canvas/paper to paint her creations. Then again, she did have the figure for it. I really love your blue teacup. So sweet. Have a Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteIts always interesting to see what you bring to T Divers.. Lovely seeing all the different techniques... And your raisin bread looks yummy!!! Happy T day! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteMy keyboard is still having a hissy fit and refuses to work much of the time. I would LOVE to leave you a personal message but it takes too long to write an appropriate one. I hope you are having a great day, I’ve seen your latest art, and wish you a happy T Tuesday and Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI am not a painter but this looks fun! thanks so much for sharing this with us I do enjoy dyeing fabric I could use some of these techniques for that too
ReplyDeleteHappy T Day Kathy
There looks some fun techniques in the photos you shared. I was drawn to your lovely teapot and the yummy bread.
ReplyDeleteHappy T day wishes.

It's interesting to me that, of the abstract works, I only liked the Gerhard Richter Bach painting. I'm still struggling to find my own style. So thank you for this art exercise, D ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour raisin bread toast looks yummy.
Happy T-day. Hugs, Eileem
This was a very inspirational post--it makes me want to get out some paint and just have fun trying different techniques. I think that will have to wait until after the busy-ness of Thanksgiving, though. Happy T Day & thanks for the ideas!
ReplyDeleteNice collection of art techniques. It's interesting to see each style. And toast and tea sounds good to me. Have a great Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteSome very interesting paintings full of various styles. I love your tea cup! So pretty.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
LOVE all of the different styles of painting you shared today. It's always fun to try different methods. The "backgrounds" I created this week have already been claimed as stand alone paintings by family and friends :) So I guess I'll have to do more :) Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Love all of these, I think my favorite is the pulling, scraping method, it creates such soft dreamy shades and textures.
ReplyDeleteyour tea and raisin toast look delicious!
Fabulous group of art pieces without using a paintbrush! still wondering which body part was used in that painting...perhaps it's better if I don't know. Thanks for sharing your tea and raisin toast!
