Ripple

During my noir craze a few months back, I had wanted to do a painting with ripples since rain is a common motif in the noir genre.

It has a more abstract and pop feel to it than the traditional grimness of noir; that's because I was listening to a lot of jazz at the time...

I painted the blue background with light blue paint and a sponge to give the canvas a foamy texture.
Then, the ripples had to wait a few months because I really struggled to find a bottle that I could use to squeeze paint neatly onto the canvas.
Finally, I found such a bottle with a tip at Michaels; a lot of their newer bottles have narrower nozzles so it's easier to use them in such a way.

I just drizzled the ripples today and the experiment is finally complete!

I know it's a bit rough, but it was a good test and I hope to make a similar design in the future after some more practice.
