Five weirdest painting techniques

'Creativity' knows no bounds. It dares to shock you and cares to awe you! A number of painters over decades have kept creating wonders showing up the 'Artist' in them on the canvas they choose to knit their tales fine.
A true artist asserts that when a brush stroke brings along with it a jaw-dropping experience, when the viewer, flabbergasted, stands in awe before the picture he makes, the 'Artist' justifies his 'Art'.

Gain an insight into the bizarre art techniques that a few crazy 'Artists' have adapted through years. Taste the awesome sauce they create! Trust me, it's heavenly!

1. PAINTINGS MADE WITH HUMAN BLOOD:
 

'Vinicius Quesada' is a Brazilian street artist who prefers to add a different dimension to his artwork. The Brazilian artist has made a chain of Psychedelic paintings and Apocalyptic illustrations in the series 'Blood Piss Blues'. To each one of the main colours, i.e, red, green/yellow and blue, he adds a certain amount of blood and urine that concoct well. Finally what he creates is magic!

2. PAINTINGS MADE WITH PENIS:
 

Australian artist Tim Patch, who is popularly known as 'Pricasso' marks himself as 'The World's Greatest Penile Artist' for he uses his penis to paint portraits. Pricasso takes his canvas on streets at a number of sex trade shows demonstrating his art work live. His one of the most talked about works is the portrait of Australian Prime Minister John Howard.

3. SALT PORTRAITS:

San Antonio artist Rob Ferrel has been communicating with his Instagram followers with the realistic portraits he makes with nothing but 'salt'. All he needs are pinch of salt, brushes of varying sizes and a piece of card stock. Once he gets done with his portrait, he clicks a snap and post it on Instagram.

4. PORTRAITS USING LEFTOVER HAIR:
 

Chinese barber Li Hailing from Lingbao uses leftover hair to shape it to something he is passionate about- 'Art'. He collects the leftover hair in his salon, and after he frees himself from his scheduled work, he arranges every strand putting his skills into practice and makes beautiful celebrity portraits out of that. He draws inspiration from 'Sand Art' and incorporates his own innovative ideas keeping the technique same, in his quirky paintings.

5. PAINTINGS MADE WITH VOMIT:
 

Millie Brown, the 'Vomit Painter' creates actual art using her vomit. I know it is making you feel nauseous. But this weird technique has already received a good deal of appreciation across the globe. She has mastered the art of regurgitation and uses the method in her art work. She goes through the strenuous process of drinking coloured milk and ends up vomiting on the canvas. 'Art' happens! So strangely yet obviously.

Art is growing bizarre. But isn't losing its aesthetic flavour. Such vast is the expanse of 'Creativity'.
