Amy Shackleton is a 25-year-old artist who paints without paint brushes. No, silly, it’s not finger-painting or graffiti or spilling paint and calling it a day, it’s real masterpieces that look amazing. She uses squeeze bottles to make them.
Shackleton has recorded a 30-hour paint brush-less painting session that’s been shrunkified into 2.5 minutes. Watch the paint streak down as she guides it by spinning the canvas around. I can’t believe she can create her pieces by just using the laws of gravity. [Amy Shackleton via Reddit]

I used to know a guy who painted exclusively with syringes- it was a very clean, efficient way to apply paint, he was an expert pointillist. Yup, brushes aren’t the only way :)
