It was there that he perfected the technique of workingwith liquid paint.Pollock was introduced to the use of liquid paint in 1936 at anexperimental workshop operated in New York City by the Mexican muralist. He later used paintpouring as one of several techniques on canvases of the early 1940s,such as 'Male and Female' and 'Composition with Pouring I.' After hismove to Springs, he began painting with his canvases laid out on thestudio floor, and he developed what was later called his ' 'technique. Therefore, Pollock turned to synthetic resin-based paintscalledenamels, which, at that time, was a novel medium.

Pollock describedthis use of household paints, instead of artist’s paints, as 'a naturalgrowth out of a need'.He used hardened brushes, sticks, and even basting syringes as paintapplicators. Pollock's technique of pouring and dripping paint isthought to be one of the origins of the term. With this technique, Pollock was able toachieve a more immediate means of creating art, the paint now literallyflowing from his chosen tool onto the canvas. By defying the conventionof painting on an upright surface, he added a new dimension, literally,by being able to view and apply paint to his canvases from alldirections.In the process of making paintings in this way, he moved away fromfigurative representation, and challenged the Western tradition of usingeasel and brush. He also moved away from the use of only the hand andwrist, since he used his whole body to paint.

I prefer to tack the unstretched canvas to the hard wallor the floor. I need the resistance of a hard surface. On the floor Iam more at ease. I feel nearer, more part of the painting, since thisway I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be inthe painting.”“I continue to get furtheraway from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes,etc.

I prefer sticks, trowels, knives and dripping fluid paint or aheavywith sand, broken glass or other foreign matter added.”“When I am in mypainting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. It is only after a sort of'get acquainted' period that I see what I have been about. I have nofear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the paintinghas a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when Ilose contact with the painting that the result is a mess.

Otherwisethere is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes outwell.”Pollock observeddemonstrations in the 1940s. Other influences on his dripping techniqueinclude the Mexican and automatism. Pollock denied 'theaccident'; he usually had an idea of how he wanted a particular piece toappear.
