Drip Drop

Drip Drop

Materials:  Water colour paint on canvas

To create this painting, I first drew the skyline of New York, using a hard pencil, on canvas.  On top of the pencil, I used a wet on wet technique, where I placed water on the canvas and then placed water colour paint on top of the water.  I then mixed the colours together to create a continuous flow of the colours throughout the painting.  As the paint on the canvas was still wet, I held my canvas upright, allowing the paint and the colours to drip down the canvas.

I was inspired to create this painting as I came across this painting of the skyline of New York.  I liked the different colours that were used throughout the painting and I felt that it helped to show the beauty of the city.  New York is one of my favourite places to see and to shop in.  I like the excitement of the city and I feel that anything can happen in the city.

I feel that using a multitude of colours throughout the painting allows me to express myself and my emotions.  The different colours show the diversity throughout the city.  The drips of the paint also show how at times, there is chaos in the city that can ruin the city.  However, after all of the negative impacts on the city, you must find beauty in the madness.
