Art World Lasagna Unraveling: What is Strata?

You’ve got to try strata Pro Painters Melbourne! You can compare it to lasagna. It’s true. It’s a lot of layers. They each add their own story and texture.

What exactly is the strata paint? Imagine picking up a canvases and concluding that a single layer of paint is not going to do. No sirree. You decide to wear another layer. You can add another layer. Add some sand, for texture. Or some paper. This multi-layered artwork is more captivating than my Grandma’s Secret Chili Recipe (and I can assure you, it’s got layers).

To start off, it’s like throwing spaghetti and watching what sticks. If you start off with a vague thought or emotion, it will be easier to get started. The way that the sun set on Tuesday is a good example. Or maybe it’s a weird flying-fish dream. No matter what, you can’t stop thinking about it.

Next comes the exciting part: adding layers. There’s no need to just throw paint around (even if that does work sometimes). You want to let each layer of paint tell a story on its own before bringing the others into the mix. They know how to have a good time.

Patience is a virtue I lack as much as an over-indulgent toddler after his nap. Every layer has to have time to air dry before another is added. Haste this process? You should avoid this unless you are going for an abstract mudpie chic.

Oh boy, just looking at them is an experience in and of itself. There’s no “glance, move on” here; instead it’s like playing detective (figuratively – don’t use actual magnifying devices in galleries! They frown at that). As you examine the artwork, it is as if you are playing detective. (Please don’t use actual magnifying lenses in galleries – they do not allow them).

These paintings are so personal. Each layer can capture a particular moment – whether it is something fun like licking the ice cream off a spoon on a scorching day or sad like watching raindrops race across a window when you are taking an afternoon nap.

But let’s remember how interactive they are. Did you feel like the painting was grabbing your attention when you stood in front? These are actually a lot like this – you can see the different layers, which will reveal their secrets.

This is strata painting, in all it’s layered beauty! It’s unpredictable, messy, and deeply personal. And above all else, it’s a ton of fun. If someone at your next gathering mentions strata paint (and why wouldn’t it? ), you can tell them to keep their mouths shut. Just nod and tell them “Ah, yes. The lasagna of Art.” They’ll either be amazed…or confused, but you got them! It’s not about people slapping colors around at random. Instead, it is about poets using brushes rather than pens to craft visual sonnets.

You can choose from a wide range of colors and styles to suit your style.
