research into paint throwing techniques

 the lines going through the paint were created by a clean paint brush pressed in and flicked, this brings out the colours layered underneath. 
 the spiral was created by water down acrylic in a cup and simply spilled in a spiral formation around the canvas. its also been layered up so the different colours were poured inside the shape of the first spiral(more or less)
 these throws were created by using multiple techniques ranging from using a spraying device to get faint dots, a nozzle on a paint pot to get finer lines and a pint pot with out nozzle to get large, thick lines. 
 the faint lines were created by a paint brush with minimal paint on, creating faint rough lines over played by thicker lines with are very defined in comparison 
 this was done by painting with a clean brush over the splattered yellows, greens and blacks(dots) in a  curved motion. the blacks give it that bit of extra depth that makes it stand out even as a background or bottom layer of the painting. 
this is the start where half of the painting was splattered thickly with yellow and the other with red
