There are so many different ways of expressing art, and almost all of them bring different pleasures to the audience. However, when it comes to flat painting, Danny Shervings creative method may be one of the coolest methods. The only raw material for his paintings was gunpowder.
At first glance, his paintings are very similar to sand paintings, but the key difference is that Danny will "light a fire" on the semi-finished product to burn the painting into a complete form.
▼Continuous looks like this
The reason why we say "burning the finished product" is because this action can firmly "burn" the gunpowder that was blown away by the wind into the canvas. Interestingly, the painting will change from the original black of gunpowder to the dark brown of brand marks
▼His work is really cool.
In addition to continuing to update content on the fan page "Paint With Gunpowder", Danny also sells his paintings and their reproductions on his personal website.
If you just want a small reproduction painting of 5 to 7 inches (13 to 17 centimeters), you can collect it for about US$35. As for the original work that Danny burned by himself, the price is about US$500, which is not expensive in terms of art paintings.
In addition to making these paintings look cool, the process of burning them is also a bit healing! I always feel that the burning process is the really fun part of these paintings.
