study (2)'s medium, folded: a real velocity field with viscous creeping flow and pressure projection — only half the sheet is simulated; the mirror is the render, so the symmetry is absolute and ink pools against the crease. the sheet has grain: an irregular star of channels radiates from the center, slowly turning, and poured ink drains along the spokes — no two pours land on the same anatomy. the fold governs itself: near-still it presses gently; the velocity of your gesture ramps it, and the middle button is the pedal — hold to press, drag to place the star. the paint smears where it flows and freezes where the flow dies — stillness is dry. the color of every pour is the camera at your cursor: the blot is made of you. press and hold to pour, linger to pool. s saves. all local; nothing transmitted.
