This is a wispy, colorful, and smokey composition done in sprayed ink and poured paint on textured polypropylene.
The first layer of the painting is a water based ink that is sprayed on so that it forms a sort of fine mist over the surface, then I spray water on top so that it pools and as it dries it makes a sort of frosted pattern like ice crystals on a window on a winter morning.
Subsequent layers are done with poured on acrylic medium with highly pigmented paints mixed in creating wisps and strands of pigment, and paint dripped directly into the wet medium to create solid pools of opaque paint.
The final result resembles something like a mix between a column of smoke rising from a bonfire and an inverted nebula captured by a space telescope.
