What is Drip Painting?

Drip painting involves letting paint drip onto the canvas, often using brushes, sticks, or even hands to guide the flow. The result is an organic, fluid composition that often evokes a sense of movement and spontaneity. This method breaks away from traditional painting techniques, allowing the artist to embrace the unpredictability of the medium.
