God I'd be SO scared to draw those lines in pen right next to the acrylic paint 😂

The artist's name is Anamika. Written in Hindi script

u/KichiRedPanda 1d ago

Actually looks like a mix of Hindi and English. But good deciphering!

What happens to those paint bubbles when they dry? How do you frame them - would there not be a gap between the frame glass and the paper because bubbles would come in contact first? Also, would you just scrape them off if not careful?

u/dllimport 2d ago

Not the OP but Acrylic dries like that. And many framed paintings don't have covered glass and those that do will frequently have a space between the glass and the artwork. Also yeah if you're not careful of course you will scrape it off but that's true of any painting really. You are generally supposed to be careful handling artwork so you don't damage it

When will that be?

Beautiful combination! The contrast between the acrylic and ink is mesmerizing.

u/HYPERBALOiD 2d ago

The mesmerizing precision of the lines!

didn't hate it but i'm not impressed by neither the process nor the end result

u/highendfive 2d ago

Yeah was low key anxious during the process, then the end result was like oh, the arrangement is kind of pretty.. But it's just a mess of colors and lines and shapes - what you'd expect to doodle in school. I guess that's why I'm not an art major.

u/diegoasecas 2d ago

you would certainly NOT do this in art college

u/dllimport 2d ago

That's not true. There was entire year of foundational instruction at the one I went to that focused on things like texture, pattern, symmetry, color theory, composition, etc. All my classes for that year were filled with projects that you wouldn't make as a real piece but rather as a way to push your understanding of those fundamental ideas. This would have fit right in as one of the texture assignments.

u/ModifiedKitten 1d ago

Art minor here, definitely did similar things for texture practice and contemporary art. This is just plain false if I'm doing it at a minor* scale, people are definitely doing it in their major and probably at a higher frequency.*

Edit: minir, feequency

u/highendfive 2d ago

That's a relief haha

u/LoneStarHome80 2d ago

The whole time I was expecting some amazing technique, where he smudges the whole page, and all those extruded lines flatten out and create a flat image. It never came.

u/Liimbo 1d ago

Pack it up guys, diegoasecas is not impressed. No reason to post this anymore.

Do you find happiness going out of your way to be negative?

Just in that sentence alone there is a line triple negative

u/Trick-Alternative37 1d ago

All I’m thinking the whole time, is how long did that paint take to dry fully

22

u/EnvironmentalScene48 2d ago

Oh man, I am WAY into this. Who is the artist? I can't read the signature at the end

11

u/confused_contents 1d ago

Artist's name in Anamika!

Posted in the comments, could not link it but look for my comment:)

u/Tiiin11 2d ago

I tried to look for your comment, but couldn't find it. Unlike in your other posts the artists are mentioned in the first comment for credits. No comment in that same format

u/PaalKlo 2d ago

I’ll see if I can find it and copy it for you

u/brou4164 2d ago

Following for the artist info. Can confirm it’s not in the comments

u/typhoidtimmy 1d ago

Hehe…about halfway through, I started imagining this was SpongeBob and his 800 word essay.

u/jp2129 2d ago

The color combination is majestic and very serene

u/EchoRippleFlare 2d ago

The way those ink lines cut through the acrylic is mesmerizing.

u/Ordinary-Commercial7 2d ago

Ooooh I love that little bubble pop technique

u/LeafUmbrella_ 2d ago

Here we have two types of people in the comments. Art that isn't traditional always bring that out. I love it 😂

u/Square_Scientist9549 1d ago

I don’t know about the finished product personally, but I absolutely loved and enjoyed the whole process. So therapeutic. So smooth.

I love highly textured abstract art 😍

u/Reznor909 1d ago

I find this agitating, rather than satisfying. Kind of like Joan Miro's works.

u/Sandruzzo 1d ago

Ok but why?

u/not_the_fox 2d ago

My urge to shmear the whole thing kept rising throughout the video.

u/AlekHidell1122 2d ago

no AT ALL satisfying. the paint is too thick. one marker doesn’t even work. they use they same lame technique too many times. NOPE.

u/calangomerengue 1d ago

Phew, luckily this wasn't r/gifsthatendtoosoon, I wanted to see the results so badly

1

u/Erection_unrelated 1d ago

Despite there not being any rules, I’d be positive I’m messing it up the entire time.

u/GreenBettyfrog 1d ago

Do you wait till those blobs have dried before you move on to the next? How do you avoid smudging?

u/tillandsias 17h ago

I don't know why, but I imagine this as a city landscape, but funky.

u/Sprincer 16h ago

Dang, inspired

u/jshultz5259 2d ago

That would be a great one to end at 1:24.

u/Ayipak 2d ago

I loved it at first, and I loved watching the process. But the final result is just too busy.

u/DragonFlyCaller 1d ago

Made me sleepy… 🥱

u/mantsz 2d ago

That's pretty dang cool!

u/dllimport 2d ago

Wow great textures! I like the way it all came together. Super creative. I hope you are the actual artist and not a reposter because if so just want you to know that's beautiful work!

Do the paint blobs harden and stay 3d or what?
