# Drip Painting

> Liquid colored strands, loops and rounded drops weave into a substantial network that reconstructs the image through density and layering.

## About this style

Continuous liquid lines, loops and droplets cross into a network, with small raised intersections. Tonal structure emerges through strand density and overlapping color layers.

Drip painting records bodily movement and flowing paint across a surface.

Long arcs, short drops and open gaps can let viewers infer changes of pace from the marks' overlaps and density.

### How the style changes different subjects

- **Portrait**: Tangled, looping or dripping lines reveal features and gesture without enclosing every detail.

- **Landscape**: Interwoven line networks separate scenery through density and color layers.

- **Object**: Accumulated lines reconstruct objects around a recognizable core silhouette.

**Subjects**: Choose moving figures, trees, flowers or simple objects with broad shapes that remain legible within the line network.

### Pollock’s drip practice

Pollock’s drip paintings turned liquid paint and bodily movement into pictorial structure, an important practice within Abstract Expressionism.

## Reusable style prompt

```text
Construct the entire image from dripping enamel paint: continuous colored rivulets, looping cords and rounded droplets intersect into a network. Model contours and tonal regions through changing strand density and layered color. Give paint intersections a slight rise and retain liquid tension, rounded drop endings and scattered fine splashes. From afar the forms remain clear; close up, the image reveals continuous liquid paths and tactile paint thickness.
