Art Through Media 16x20 Canvas

This is something I've wanted to give a try for some time now and just had the opportunity to do it the other night. I took a bunch of magazines and tore out pages that were black, white, or red. Then I tore those pages into strips and used gel medium to adhere them to my canvas in random order. I then took watered down red and black paint and let it drip down the canvas. I then cut letters/words out of magazines and if you look close it says Art Through Media on it. Not sure if it's done or not, but I like it.

Lisa, its great and l love it. My fave colour red but one thing l noticed is you get thick pouring lines yet mine seem to be narrow and l watered down to much last time, do you use fluid paints or the tubes,l seem to be using a mixture of both just now.
I have a painting that must have had more than 6 layers and its bright colour box shapes now but think this could work to make it come forward,
