Balloon Painting.
Acrylic on Canvas.
2013

 This is a photo of my first throw of the dart, it is my first sample of doing this method, the slaps were great when the paint burst from the balloon.
I was tricky to get the right amount of air in the balloon and the right amount of paint for the air. I added water to my samples with then I  watered the paint down and made less effect, which I didn't want. I used a lot of testers to get the right amount through out the painting work.

The first sample was a success because of how far it went from the balloon. It made a lovely interesting marks on the canvas that I can not get using a straw or other materials such a straws, paper or tooth brushes.

Working on my final piece, it isn't finished yet it is a working progress. however I think this is a success already, the way the paint has splat across the canvas.
I use primary colours to start off but I will add secondary colour throughout the painting.
I made the balloon bigger but filled it with the same amount of paint, this helped the balloon burst more and get a bigger effective mark across the canvas.

I used this method to express excitement in my painting and expression in the marks that the balloon as made.
