A strange technique

The last couple of weeks have spent moving into a new apartment. The amount of useless objects that you find that you've kept is boggling. Due to this purge however, I found an old oral syringe from when I had my wisdom teeth removed (at the cost of the feeling in my lingual nerve). I brought it to the studio, trimmed the tip to ease the pressure and lower the risk of blockage, and squeezed some paint through.

This was only a 14" by 12" piece of board, only requiring 6 hours of mind numbing squeezing and one large tube of titanium white. Yet, I'm really excited to try and do a large piece, though it might have to be an acrylic painting as it does suck up a large amount of paint and there is little chance I can afford the several large tubes required.
