Creating Controlled Acrylic Drips - Acrylic Drip Painting Technique

You may have watched Youtube videos demonstrating acrylic drip painting where splodges of paint are used as the reservoir from which drips will begin to run.... this can be messy and can be unpredictable as to whether you get the effect you initially had in mind.

A way to control your drip location and to be able to add more paint into your drip if you need the drip to flow further is to use a small squeezy bottle - this is so simple and ways less messy! You can build up your drips by layering them or choose to just have a few well placed drips.

TIP: By knocking or shaking your canvas you can also create a more jagged flow rather than a straight drip.

Materials: I use Golden Acrylic 'flow' or 'high flow' paint but you can used heavy body mixed thoroughly with water.

PS you can also use a nearly empty bottle to add splatter - if you give the bottle a quick squeeze!
