亚克力荷兰倒油画 

大流行初期,我买了一些绘画材料。我知道可能会长期呆在家里或者会重执画笔。我之前画过油画和水彩画,但从未画过亚克力荷兰倒油画。我看了几段Youtube视频,然后开始绘画。亚克力荷兰倒油画不是传统绘画,它使用空气来操纵画布上的颜料。你可以用风筒,用吸管或嘴吹气,也可以将颜料倒在画布上,使其流淌,或者使用塑料薄片或纸巾来轻扫,用餐台转盘来转,用绳子或链条来拉花,把颜料经过星盘的漏斗倒在画布上或用漏斗来印花,用气球或球来转或压…… 你可以利用自己的想象和创造力,使用任何可用的工具来作画。 

我使用倒和流的技术制作了两幅画,效果很好。然后我试着用风筒,效果也不错。这给了我更多尝试的信心。但是第三次尝试失败了,我不知道为什么。我开始考虑问题出在哪里?风筒的能量可能不够大;我买了一个新的1600瓦的风筒。也许涂料的浓度不正确,我尝试增加或减少水的分量。我又尝试除了加水以外再添加氟洛特罗或涂料稀释剂,氟洛特罗可以产生圆的细胞图案,如果添加硅,它会产生更多更大的细胞图案。这是一个学习过程。每次失败都会令我作不同的尝试去克服困难。就像我们生活中的一切都不容易,如果你不尝试,永远都不知道,也永远学不会。传道书1:13里说:

1:13 我 专 心 用 智 慧 寻 求 查 究 天 下 所 作 的 一 切 事 , 乃 知 神 叫 世 人 所 经 练 的 , 是 极 重 的 劳 苦 。 

生活和进步都要经过磨练,没有捷径可行,捷径得来的成果往往不稳固,因为付出和得着是成正比的。以下这是我的画:

Acrylic Dutch Pour Painting 

At the beginning of the pandemic, I bought some painting materials. I know that I may stay at home for a long time or re-apply the paintbrush. I have painted oil and watercolor paintings before, but I have never painted acrylic Dutch Pour Painting. I watched a few YouTube videos then started painting. Acrylic Dutch Pour Painting is not a traditional painting; it uses air to manipulate the paint on the canvas. You can use a hairdryer, use a straw or mouth to blow air, or pour the paint on the canvas to make it flow, or use a thin plastic sheet or paper towel to swipe, Use the Lazy Suzy turning table to spin, use a rope or chain to pull the flowers, use a sink strainer to pour the paint through it or dip it, use balloon or ball to twist or press... You can use your imagination and creativity to paint with any tools available. 

I used the pour and flow technique made my first two paintings and it worked well. Then I tried to use a hairdryer blow, it worked well too. This gave me more confidence to try. But, the third time I failed. I don't know why. I started to think about the problem? The hairdryer may not have enough power; I bought a new 1600-watt hairdryer. Maybe the consistency of the paint is incorrect, I try to increase or decrease the water amount. I also tried to add Floetrol or paint thinner in addition to water. Floetrol can produce cells. If Silicone is added, it will produce more big cells. This is a learning process for me. Every time I fail, I make different attempts to overcome difficulties. It just like everything in our lives, nothing is easy, if you don’t try, you will never know and you will never learn. Ecclesiastes 1:13 says: 

I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind! 

Life and progress need to be honed. There is no shortcut, the results obtained by the shortcut cannot be stable, because the contribution and the gain are directly proportional. These are my paintings:
