Bonus: Accidental painting
In the ’30s of the last century, the Mexican painter David Alfaro Siqueiros discovered a new type of art — accidental painting. The paints that got chaotically mixed stunned not only the artist but also ordinary people with their aesthetics and complexity, achieved with very little effort.
Today “accidental painting” is a separate type of art that is closely connected with fluid dynamics. But even not knowing their laws, one can create incredible patterns from colorful acrylic paints. All you need to have is some inspiration and imagination.
