Action Painting- How to Paint Like Jackson Pollock- I create my own Jackson Pollock Painting!

In this video, we experiment with action painting. Learn how to paint like Jackson Pollock! I will guide you through my process as I try to replicate his style. Learn the 11 layers I used to create my piece.
Materials:
- raw, unprimed canvas (a large piece)
- house paint (I used 6 colors, but you should use at least 5)
- stirring sticks
- plastic sheet to place under the canvas (to protect your floors)
- and space!

[@brainformer2007]

Greetings from Ukraine! I am going to do some Pollock inspired painting myself and I'm glad that I found this video. And I really like the colors you choose.

[@lauriemendenhallart]

That was fun and inspiring!

[@TheColtssb41]

Hey Jenna, great job! There's a lot of Pollock-esque videos out there, most of them miss the mark. I believe you have captured the fundamental approach that Jackson was trying to communicate. Thank you!

[@JennaRiceArt]

Thank you so so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😊

[@RamadanFes-yn9gy]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@3sheetsy]

thank you - well done, hope to see more

[@JennaRiceArt]

Thank you for watching! You will certainly see more soon... I’m restarting my channel very soon! I already have my next video filmed.

[@nelsonnascimentojunior8855]

Jackson Pollock the best ❤

[@justinholdrenstudios]

Looks awesome Jenna!

[@JennaRiceArt]

Thank you!!

[@sweetfa24601]

Hi Jenna. I'm about to start my first Pollock-like piece of work, a practice run on a small canvas. I stumbled across your video and wanted to let you know that I found it really helpful and inspirational, thank you. Nick

[@JennaRiceArt]

sweetfa24601 thank you so much! I’m so happy I could inspire and help you 🙏🏻 I wish you the best of luck in all you do! -Jenna

That painting is pure imagination.

[@tommel302]

No

[@fayfaiiry]

Thank you

[@JennaRiceArt]

You’re welcome!

[@fergaloreilly9473]

Great painting! Did you use oil or water based enamel paint? I've been avoiding using raw canvas with my oil enamel paints as I heard it will rot the canvas. Also, do you use gloss, satin or matt paint? Thanks!

[@nelsonnascimentojunior8855]

[@AnthonyBottari]

One of the best videos on drip painting I've seen so far! You unlike many added many layers and didn't leave really any white space untouched. One day I'll do a canvas I just need to get over the feeling of copying Jackson. . But did painters after the first cubism artist feel that way? I wonder.. subbed..

[@JennaRiceArt]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@AnthonyBottari]

@@JennaRiceArt welcome

[@katthompson9203]

This is one of the best Pollock recreations I've seen!!! I'm definitely going to try this myself. Did you add water to your paint? I've been using acrylic paint put the color breaks down too much.

[@JennaRiceArt]

Thanks so much! I didn’t add any water since I mainly used house paint. It’s typically thinner than the usual acrylic paint (and cheaper). If you use acrylics, try adding a pouring medium and a little water. If you add too much water, the acrylic polymers separate too much and the paint will lose its color. There are other methods to thin acrylic paint also. Maybe refer to my video about pour painting- that could help!

[@debw1324]

Your vid is the best I have watched on here of this style painting :) What type of house paint is this? High gloss? interior? thx

[@JennaRiceArt]

Awe, thank you so much! Honestly, this was just a mix of housePaints. Some were latex, some enamel, etc. However, if you want to replicate this technique, I’d suggest your typical interior satin house paint (enamel). This was more for experimentation and fun... I wouldn’t say this is archival quality.

[@seankeddie5248]

Jenna, do you recommend applying a protective finish over Pollock-style drip paintings made from latex enamel and/or acrylics? Have you discussed this topic in any of your KZbin videos?

[@JennaRiceArt]

Hi there! Thank you for watching. I’m sorry I’m just seeing this now. I haven’t really made many varnish/clear coat videos but I think that’s a wonderful idea! I’m working on designs for my next 5 murals right now, but I will start posting more videos fairly soon. I didn’t add a varnish to this particular painting. I feel like it might yellow over time considering it is an unprimed canvas…I’ll do some research. Thanks for the input!

[@berndl.5214]

👍💪👏

[@JennaRiceArt]

🥰🙏

[@chrissorour222]

Great video We’re can I get a so huge canvas? And ow to you hang this awesome picture at a wall ? I need this size for my living room But I don’t know we’re to start Please help me 🙏🏼

[@JennaRiceArt]

Hi there! Thank you so much for watching. ❤️I buy rolled, unprimed canvas online via Jerry’s Artarama. I’m restarting my channel again and will elaborate on the rest, but basically, you can also buy the stretcher bars (the wooden frame pieces) online, tack those together, then stretch your canvas over the frame. I’ll be sure to make another video soon that explains this. You’re not the only one who has asked this.

[@chrissorour222]

Art Awakening an new video would be really great...thank ya for answering

[@SLOPPEWALL]

"So next will I will feature a video of how to stretch this over stretcher bars and build a canvas." - Eight months later the vid is nowhere in sight.

[@JennaRiceArt]

SLOPPEWALL sorry about that.... I was going through some personal stuff and had to put my channel on hold for a while. I am, however, filming new videos as we speak- with a new name and vision. I will be sure to make a video about building your own canvas sometime in the near future. Thanks for watching!

[@ashwinibooks4325]

How days we can leave action painting for dry

[@JennaRiceArt]

Ashwani Vishwakarma I let mine dry for a few days before adding it to a canvas frame. Thanks for watching! I’m starting up my channel again soon. Stay tuned 😊

[@calvinss22]

Hi, Can I ask what type of house paint did you use? Was it oil based or water based ?

[@JennaRiceArt]

Water based and enamel work best. Thank you for watching! I hope this helps

[@chrissorour222]

Can u please tell me what exact paint brand u use I will do this project 🙌❤️asap

[@JennaRiceArt]

Hi there! I’d recommend to just use whatever house paint you like. I used whatever I had on hand at the time. Just be sure not to mix oil and water based paints and it should work wonderfully! I really hope my video helps! ☺️

[@brucemoeller]

Is it for sale?

[@joemacaluso4627]

NOT EVEN CLOSE!

[@Terminator_Ramos]

Want a shoutout

[@opman4627]

Op

[@RavenclawFtW3295]

Now for a more important question. WHY paint like Jackson Pollock?

[@JennaRiceArt]

Why not?

[@virgogaming6488]

It helps convey locked feelings and emotions inside.
