2. Splatter Painting – This abstract painting technique is not much different with Drip Painting but instead of letting the paint right out of its container ooze its way to create art, with splatter painting, the artist can blow paint from straws or use toothbrushes to create various and outstanding effects.

3. Mixed Mediums – With this technique artist will use oil paints together with other mediums to form the art. Textiles strips and small piece of papers are arranged and glued on the canvas the way the artist want it to portray.
