Generated Thick Descriptor (via Chat-GPT 4): Tachisme, a French style of abstract painting from the 1940s-50s, involves spontaneous, gestural strokes and an emphasis on texture and color. It is not structured or premeditated. To create a piece in this style, use drips, blobs, and splashes of paint straight from the tube. Apply paint liberally with brushes, knives, or hands. Include elements of calligraphic scribbling, expressing uninhibited movement. Avoid geometric shapes to keep the focus on abstract expression.
