SWISH SWASH - by David Ward
David Ward David Ward David Ward David Ward
David completed Swish Swash in three sessions. In the first five minute session, surplus sugar paint was dumped by David onto a blank canvas covering the surface by rotating the canvas with both hands. The canvas was then placed in a vertical position for the paint to flow off as it dried.

In the second twenty minute session David added four colors of sugar and tempera paint mixtures onto the canvas: white, yellow, orange, and red. Using plastic squirt bottles he poured the mixtures in random order over most of the canvas. Then using a medium sized brush David spread the sugar paint blending the colors.

In the third twenty minute session David used a smaller brush to dab various colors of acrylic paint from paper plates randomly onto the canvas with small strokes. A playful interaction between David and his collaborator soon ensued to get David to apply broader sweeping strokes of acrylic paint.
