true blots
There are two kinds of painting. There are many kinds of painting - I’m wrestling with just two of them. You can apply your loaded brush to the panel and carefully paint a blot, to look just like a blot. Or you can splatter paint onto a panel and make a blot, which is a blot.
You can draw drips and then paint them, basically colouring them in, like in the geography lesson - colouring in the maps, all the blue bits are the sea and the brown bits with yellow lines... Or you can create drips by having too much too wet paint on the brush; or, better still, let the possibility of drips occur as part of the painting process and not worry about them.
