Generated Thick Descriptor (via Chat-GPT 4):
Action painting, also known as “gestural abstraction”, is characterized by spontaneous dripping, splashing or smearing of paint onto the canvas. The style emphasizes the physical act of painting itself rather than the precision of application, often resulting in a raw, emotional aesthetic. To recreate this style, adopt an improvisational approach: spontaneously apply paint and let your actions and emotions guide the final outcome.
