Turkey Baster Art!

I know it sounds funny but you can even make art with a turkey baster! 

One thing about art, is that the colors are already beautiful without the artist. You can make amazing creations just by bringing together beauty that already exists. And there are many, many ways to do that; a turkey baster is just one of them.

For those that are wondering what in the world I am talking about. It's simple. 

First you get your paint, typically watering down so you can suck it up with the turkey baster or even plastic squirt bottles. You can fill multiple bottles so you can have a wide array of colors to work with. Then it is up to you to get the creative juices flowing. Since I personally don't do any realism I just start dripping paint every which way until something looks cool. Many times you may have to paint over it if you do not like the initial painting. It can get murky if you blend too may colors at once, so pace yourself and have fun with it.

You can even do great impressionistic art as well with drip paintings. Mountains, flowers, rolling meadows. There really is no limit to it and I think some of the best drip work is completely random. Anyone else do any drip types of paintings or have interest in it at all? Look forward to hearing from you.
