Splatter painting, the technique made famous by Jackson Pollock, is energetic, unpredictable and a whole lot of fun. There are three common methods used to add abstract expressionist style to art, and each can be done with either acrylics or watercolors. Just be ready: things are about to get messy!
How to Splatter Paint
Level: Easy
What You Need
Pro Tip: Wear your designated painting clothes and move away any objects you want to keep clean — you never know where the pigment will fly!
1. Use Two Paint Brushes
Use when: you want to cover a large surface with splatter paint
Fill the bristles of a paint brush with pigment. Gently tap it with a second brush (or stick, or even your fingers) with your opposite hand. This will give the paint enough force to travel across your canvas.
2. Use a Toothbrush and Your Fingers
Use when: you want to cover smaller areas and have smaller flecks of splatter paint

Fill the bristles of a toothbrush or a stiff-bristled brush with pigment. Hold it at a downward angle, so the bristles are pointed toward the ground. With your opposite hand, run your fingers along the edge of the brush. (You may want to put on gloves first.) Go slowly and pull the bristles back so they launch paint onto the canvas.
3. Use a Stencil
Use when: you want to control exactly where your splatter paint falls
