Frankenthaler thinned her oil paints with turpentine, allowing the pigment to soak directly into the raw canvas. This created a watercolor-like effect that emphasized the flatness of the picture plane.

By 1960, Frankenthaler had fully mastered her signature style, influencing the Color Field movement and bridging the gap between Abstract Expressionism and a more minimalist, atmospheric approach to painting.
