It seems like you're describing a technique often used in abstract expressionism or similar styles of painting. The use of thick paint drizzled on a canvas can create various effects including:
- Line: The drizzled paint can form lines that lead the viewer’s eye across the canvas.
- Value: The thickness and density of the paint can affect the lightness and darkness within the artwork, contributing to its overall value structure.
- Proportion: The arrangement of the drizzled paint can affect the proportions of various elements within the composition.
- Pattern: The way paint is drizzled can create patterns, whether intentional or organic, that can add texture and interest to the piece.
