Splat!

One of my tasks this week was to create a paint splat to go on the floor of the exhibition. I decided to try a different technique to Dan - whereas he used PVA and poster paint on a bin liner, I thought I'd try a mixture of car spray paint and poster paint on cardboard. Bear in mind I haven't really done art and craft since I was 8 years old, and my skills haven't improved much...


Above is the spray on cardboard, and right with the cut marks drawn on.


Unfortunately, the cardboard has a fairly obvious fold in the middle...


So I got the poster paint out and tried to cover it up! The left paint splat is messy as it's meant to look like the designer has been trying out different colours and testing the brushes... and because I got a bit carried away. The right image is meant to either be an impromptu pallette or where some paint has dripped off the table?

    Hi Tom,
    I'm glad to see so much effort to sort the problem of the props. And look, after so much work, I'm very please to see that you and Daniel have achieved your goal. The final splat that I saw is really good. Well done.
