DIY: Pollock
By Ken Hoyt
I have tried to emulate a Jackson Pollock. I was much younger, in dire need of a piece of art within my price range and possessed of art supplies purchased at a garage sale.
Oh yeah, and I was assisted and enabled by a good friend. We were both fueled by Chardonnay (everyone knows what a friend art has in cocktails. Right?).
It was appalling. I was, however, the proud owner of a custom-painted (and truly stunning) pair of Chuck Taylors.
If you're not ready for such stylish shoes you could practice online with this terrific program. * This online artwork is the brainchild of artist Miltos Manetas. Learn more about Manetas and Neen here.
*This artwork is self taught,but here are two tips: Click the mouse to change colors and use the space bar to start a new painting.

Ken,
Extremely creative, and How-to vivid ! Now you and your friend should do the video.
I just couldn't stop laughing for several mins. having the image of great friends doing a Greek dance smashing plates, and holding on to a fine wine.
Best,
Elise

I'm doing my very own Picasso-esque painting and Paul Klee rendition for blank walls today. I've painted the canvas background colors and I'm ready to go. Thought about the Pollock, but knew I really couldn't pull it off. Necessity has done this to me, I'm having a big bash on Friday night.
