Traces of speed
Gestural painting records the movement of an arm: sweeps, loops and splatters stay on the surface as a trace. If you are looking for expressive, gestural mixed media in acrylic for sale, search for pieces where paste, paper or charcoal amplify the energy of each stroke.
Acrylic lets a painter lay down many layers before the paint sets, which suits spontaneous gestures. Scratches into wet gel or glued-on papers create breaks that give a fast stroke something to hold on to. You can often read the handwriting at the edges already: run-off paint, scratches in gel, fingerprints in paste. Such traces are intended and turn a picture into a log of its making that the eye can retrace.

A look at mixed media and painting helps place the blend. With a budget in mind, compare pieces under 500 euro with works from 1,000 to 2,000 euro.
