About this lesson
A technical essay on how Louis made his stain and stripe paintings: Magna acrylic on unprimed lightweight cotton duck, paint thinned with medium and then very large amounts of turpentine, and poured from the top edge or along braces so rivulets run without touching. Useful for anyone planning pour-stain work.
