if you paint paintings that swirl and curl like smoke, why not even paint with smoke. Good idea.
That last one, smokey, sure looks figurative somehow.
Have you tried spraying a smoke 'painting' with AS No. 1 painting medium and moving the support around to control the run-off? I expect it will drag some of smoke particles around in an aleatoric way and harden up in a couple of days looking like an oil painting, with deep blacks and surface sheen. Just a thought, Ken.
yes I've played around with various techniques. It truly does make interesting patterns, I smoked a no.3 and then let it dry flat, and it made a lovely landscape-esque composition; also playing around with actually burning the paint as it is being applied.
