Decalcomania is a technique used by surreal artists and beyond. It’s the process of creating patterns by pressing wet paint between surfaces. This was a very popular technique used by Max Ernst.

A short demonstration of Decalcomania with acrylics (and water). I love to use this technique to create more or less random organic textures as starting points for my paintings. Later I'll post some paintings in the comment section which are based on this technique. | Peter Gric
