Okay, so today I messed around with something I’m calling “a single drop gray zone”. It’s kinda hard to explain, but I’ll do my best.
First, I grabbed a blank canvas. Just a regular, white one from the art store. Nothing fancy.
Then, I got some gray paint. I used acrylics ’cause they dry fast. I only needed one shade of gray, not a whole bunch.
The Fun Part (and kinda messy)
- I loaded up my brush with a decent amount of paint, but not dripping wet.
- I held the brush right in the center of the canvas, a few inches above it.
- And then… I just let one single drop fall.
It was kinda cool watching it splat! It made a little circle, but not a perfect one. It had these little squiggly edges.
I waited for it to dry completely. This is important! If you mess with it while it’s wet, you’ll ruin the whole “single drop” effect.
Once it was dry, I just stared at it for a while. It’s surprisingly interesting, a single gray drop on a white background. It made me think about, like, simplicity and stuff. I don’t know, it was just… calming.
So, that’s it. That’s my “single drop gray zone” experiment. Might sound dumb, but I actually enjoyed doing it. It was a nice break from all the complicated stuff I usually do.
Might try it again with a different color sometime. Maybe a single red drop next time? We’ll see!
