Spray Paint Art Nature Sci Fi Tutorial | TikTok Live Replay

And that's our beginner class. That's our live beginner class on here. So anyway, for those of you who are cool with that, I just want to give a quick disclaimer. Spray paint is dangerous. If it's like a one-time thing, like you don't plan on doing this more than once, I think you're fine without the respirator. Just paint outside. But you should get some disposable gloves. And if it is going to become a recurring hobby for you, definitely pick up a paint respirator. Only one I'll ever recommend is 3M. All right. Now that we got all that out of the way, I don't really know exactly. As always, I'm going to wing it here. I do know I want like a giant moon or like planet sort of thing. And I know I kind of want to do some northern lights maybe. But I feel like a normal moon and like a whole winter thing would be kind of boring. And I don't have tape on this. I got to keep that in mind. We're going to go with the minimum. We're just going to go with our gut here. We're going to go ahead and place that down exactly where we can see our planet going. I'm going to just move some shit out of the way. And you guys are sideways. I see that you guys are sideways. And that's because we're painting hot dog style today. So I can't really see the chat. But any questions afterward, I will answer before I leave. So anyway, go ahead and get a dark pink and just outline this. We know exactly where this is going to be going. Right about there. And I don't, I want this to be colorful and I want it to be fun. So let's grab some nice colors. Purple sounds really nice. Go ahead and just throw some light purple. And you know what? If we're going to do mountains and stuff, I'll make the mountains purple. So we'll go ahead and place that color there. First layer is so important when you're going to be doing some of these techniques. It involves lifting paints or creating some sort of texture. The first layer is the most important. So if you want these mountains to be like purple, that's the color that we got to place first. I'm liking that. I'm liking that. Little thingies coming off. Place a little bit of dark blue right on top of that because you can layer. You can layer some colors on top of each other. Now let's just go pink cardboard here. And let's go ahead and throw some yellow in here. And here's a technique that I found from Sketch Art. He's really big on YouTube. Makes really good stuff. We're just going to keep spraying onto the fingertip here to get these big like drips and drops downwards. Maybe give a few flicks in there as well. Just feels right. All right. How about we go ahead and throw some red in here. I'm not even going to think about colors making sense or anything like that because it's nonsense. I'm going to go with like the standard classic technique here. So we're going to go ahead and top this off with some sort of neutral. I think we might actually do all the neutral. Well, we'll do white up here. I'm going to go ahead and like fade it down with some gray and then some black over here in the corner. And this is also going to go ahead and reflect our shading and our highlighting as well. I'm thinking we're going to have the highlighting at the top left there and shading on the opposite side. That looks pretty great. Now we're going to need some clear coats. Make sure that this paint is still wet. It looks like I don't have a can of that here. Let me get a new one. Oh, and a new can of clear coat. Go ahead and re-wet this paint. Make sure this paint actually comes up. Now, I don't think we have to crumple this, but we'll do it anyway because it feels right. There's some place, swipe and left. This is just the classic planet technique and I love that. I really love that. That's going to look amazing once it's all said and done. That's going to look awesome. All right. So we see we have a lot of that purple in there, some of that red, a lot of that yellow. That looks dope. We're just going to go ahead and shade and highlight right now. Remember, smiley faces. That's all that this is. So we're going to hold our can pretty far away. You've got to find your distance. That's all that this is about. We're going to find our distance and just spray like a smiley face around the outside of our planet. Leftover sprays do most of the work right there. And then we're going to go to the opposite side and make smiley faces with black. Same thing. We kind of found our distance, right? And we're just kind of working our way in with some smiley faces. Just like that. When I talk about finding our distance, just for a quick explanation, if you hold your can too close, that's no good. That's way too solid. So pull it back until you get that nice faded type of look. Everyone's distance is going to be a little bit different. All right. So here we go. If you want the best results, you should let the paint dry. However, we don't really do that. And this is a bit awkward because I don't have the handle. We're going to hope that works. It was just weird. Okay. So let's go ahead and like I said, I want this to be really colorful. So how about we go ahead and we give it, instead of a black base, we give it a dark blue base for the sky. And I'll worry about the sides of the canvas later. That's good enough. A bit of a lighter blue here. We can get enough out of this can. Now when you're going ahead, the base is one thing, right? Because we're going ahead and we cover most of the canvas with the base, which is our dark blue here. But when we're adding more colors to that, that's when you really want to pull back this can and just kind of fade other colors in here. You know what? I like the idea of kind of going back to like this red and then yellow, maybe a little bit of orange in there as well. And I'm trying to get around that planet sense of really nice. You want those lines to be as crisp and clean as possible. My orange tan is almost gone, which means it's probably going to splutter a lot. So I'm not going to take that chance. And we're just going to add some yellow in there as well. Also remember, we're going to do like a whole different lights thing. So we don't have to do too much here. So let's go ahead and add some stars here. And there's a couple of things that we can do. So you can't really see it because this can is all like gucked up with dust and spray paint and all that. This is Hologram Glitter by Montana. It's one of their factory cans. I'm going to give that a quick shake. This is great for like a starry night sort of thing. We are still going to do our standard like flicking technique just to add those nicer stars, like those thicker, just like white stars. But this glitter is amazing. Spray some white on the finger. We flip to the side first a few times, get this big, nasty blobs off, and then we flick onto our canvas, right? You just want to get them big, nasty blobs off first. And we really don't need to do that much, but that looks really good so far. All right. Now, since I don't have a handle, what I'm going to try to do is take my palette knife and just lift this up. And you know what? That works. It works. That planet looks awesome. However, I want to give it like an atmosphere sort of thing because we did get, let me put this back real quick, we did kind of get the ring of doom, the ring of despair, right? Where since we don't let the paint dry and it's cold out, especially when it's cold out, when it's colder, the paint takes longer to dry, right? But when we lifted up that stencil, it took a layer of that white with it, leaving a mark right there. That's disgusting. I usually don't mind it down here at the shading. I don't know why, but when it comes to my highlighting, I want to fix it, right? Like I want to fix it. Here we go. Trash. This is the trash that came on the canvas. What I'm going to do is tear myself off a little piece, right? You can use some scrap poster as well, okay? And I always recommend, I have a giant bin over to my left of just scrap poster. These are paintings that maybe didn't work out or sometimes I buy poster boards and they have like little tears in them and I can't really make paintings and like sell them to people like that. So I throw them in a bin. That's my scrap poster, okay? But flat side. What we're going to do here, we're going to hover. You see I'm not placing it completely on the canvas. We're hovering just right above our canvas and we're going to spray some white onto this tool and it's going to go ahead and redirect the line down. Now you see I'm curving it so it aligns with the curvature of this planet over here. It's going to add a nice glow. It's also going to cover up any of the ring of despair that I don't like, right? Let me just bring that all the way around. Really going to make this planet just look 10 times better. I think we can come down a little bit more right here. There we go. That planet looks 100 times better. This planet, overall this painting is looking really good so far. All right, so for the Northern Lights, I never do this because I think paint is mostly a preference, like brand of paint. However, in my experience the best paints for the Northern Lights are the fluorescent colors within Montana Gold. So Montana Gold as a line, like as a brand, they're not all fluorescents. However, they have some in there that are fluorescents and that's what I recommend here. So I'll tell you the names of them. We're going to use Flame Blue, which is their fluorescent blue. We're going to use Acid Green, which is their fluorescent green. And we're also going to use Disco White, which is their fluorescent white. Okay, and how we're going to do this, same piece of trash right here that we just used. What I'm going to do is tear it again in half and there's like either my hair, either I'm shedding or my dog's shedding, so there's like hair everywhere. But we're going to go ahead and just tear this and make it as uneven as you want, right. You can go ahead and shape it out. So maybe you want like a kind of a curve right here. Let's go ahead and kind of tear it that way, just like that. We can use either piece, right, but you just want sort of like these natural torn little scrap pieces, right. Now this is how we usually make clouds, except this time if we do the clouds we usually have it like this way. We're going to flip it around this way, so it's basically going to be upside down. We're going to take some of that Disco White and we're going to go ahead, we're going to hover. Once again, we're not placing it on the paint because if it's placed on the paint, it's going to leave a mark if the paint's still wet, which it most certainly is. So spray off to the side first. This white looks really good and I'm just going to go ahead and spray basically 50-50 between the tool and the canvas here. We're going to go ahead and get a line down, right. We're just going to go ahead and work our way up. Work your way up wherever you can see these northern lights kind of going, right. Maybe we're going to go ahead like this and how about we curve, whoops, it's a bit windy. I have stuff all around. All right, go ahead and like kind of curve it upwards like this. You know, let's make a couple of more, a couple more lines. How about we make one like right here and we'll have it end right there and then how about we make a few more right here. Now what we're going to do, you can see the one side, you know, let's bring this in front of the planet a little bit. We don't want to, we don't want it to look like we're scared to go in front of our planet. Now we're actually just going to flip this around to the flat side and we're going to hold this basically straight up, okay, and once again we're still hovering and we're going to spray once again the white right here on the tool. It's going to redirect kind of like a straight line down and we're going to go ahead and give our northern lights the line thingies. You know, you know the thingies that I'm talking about, the line thingies, right, and I'm basically, what I'm aiming for and they're not perfect, spray paint art never is, okay, so don't worry too much about it but we're basically aiming to have those lines, those up and down lines start right here at what I call the root, the root of the northern lights. It's probably, I know it's not the right term but I don't ever use the correct terms for things so and we can go back and we can add more later but this is looking really good so far. Now we're going to use the same tool but this time we're going to go ahead and pull out, actually we don't really need to use the tool here unless you're worried about like your free handing. If your free handing's not there maybe you want to use the tool right here but what I'm going to do is just take this flame blue, so fluorescent blue, and I'm just going to go ahead and spray that blue right over these northern lights. I'm not trying to overtake the white. Now you have to understand Montana gold, really soft, it's really soft so you don't really have to worry about finding your distance here. So it looks pretty good. I'm just kind of spraying that blue down so it almost comes out transparent. All right now we're going to go back to this tool and whoops, you want to make sure that you wipe these tools off right because paint will start building up and it'll start dripping and it's disgusting. Anyway let's go ahead and take our acid green now and this time we're going to go same exact thing. We're going to follow the same exact route that we took before except this time we're going to get really close to it right. We don't want to overtake the blue at all we just want to go right under that blue right. So right here looks about right and I'm basically maybe like 40-60 between the tool and my canvas and I'm just spraying down this acid green. Can you use other fluorescents? Of course you can. I imagine someone is probably wondering that however this is Montana gold or Montana in my experience. That's why I use them. I'm not usually one to tell people what brand to pick but in my experience their fluorescents just look really good. Okay I'm starting to think it's my dog that is one of my dogs is shedding really bad. Oh you know what it is? I'm wiping my tool off on my pants. Guaranteed you I have a cat that likes to sit on my laundry. That's probably what it is. All right anyway let's go back in here with that fluorescent green going right underneath that flame blue right over all of this white that we made. All right so now we have this really nice glow. We're not done yet. We're going to go over one more time right but this time we're going to get a lot closer to the root the bottom of the northern lights here but back again with the white basically. So we're just going to kind of re-highlight re-add that little glow. All right so let's just go over there and when you're getting really close like this what I'm doing is I'm basically just spraying the tool not spraying the canvas much and I'm holding the can really close right we're doing small little bursts small little bursts of paint. Oops cap's starting to sputter a little bit and it's fine. Right we need to we don't need to do too much white here just want to go right underneath that green again just add that little highlight just like that go in one more time right there and we can even go in if you want to go ahead and make those lines again we can go in and kind of do those lines again. Remember we're just holding it up and down we're spraying the tool completely with this fluorescent white. It's looking good looking great. I don't think we need to do too much. I think there just might be a couple spots that look pretty bad. All right now that's it for the northern lights. I'm going to throw that tool away put this back. Now one thing about Montana gold a lot of overspray like it leaves a lot of dust and stuff so what you can do I could wait until the end but just to show you go ahead and take some clear coat and the clear coat will actually clear up a lot of that overspray and give it that nice glossy finish right it'll make your northern lights look a lot look a lot better so I know a lot of people are like there's way too much overspray just wait a minute okay do your thing go ahead and throw the clear coat down and then we go to and actually we're going to need clear coat anyway because we're about to do the mountains right here so let's go ahead and do this mountain technique we have been sitting here for a while so it might not work as good as uh we're hoping that's okay because we can just go ahead and throw in another technique but we're going to throw some clear coat down right there we're going to grab some magazine magazine page you can also use newspaper it's whatever it's about whatever's convenient all right I'm just going to fold it in half to give it a little bit more strength right very simple my right hand is my dominant hand so I'm going to go ahead and grip the bottom of the page and then using my left hand just going to fold it over my fingers right and the whole thing here is my dominant hand is going to guide this page along to make these mountains very simple right and these these are looking really good so far really good so we got that peak and we're just going to kind of drag this down I think we use maybe a little bit more clear coat all right just basically it's almost just my middle finger just kind of going in there carving out these mountains right and we're making this texture and I'll go across the whole thing why because it feels right just feels right there we go have some cute little mountains they're going to be like more in the distant mountains so with that we're going to go ahead and add some sort of separator right you're going to need to make layers in your painting you need to add a separator so let's go ahead and add like a mist or maybe some clouds I'm thinking maybe we'll just go with a mist instead of like straight up like shaped clouds um but yeah let's go for it okay so we'll throw that away now how about we go with taking some we already have like a lot of this green and this white how about we take that acid green again and go ahead and just spray right under these mountains give it a nice green mist and then we'll put white right under it and we can even go with the disco white right the fluorescent white we're just going to go right under that there we go we have our separator looks really cool all right now let's see if we have what we need here or if we got to make more tools so it looks like we do looks like we got what we need but this is synthetic sponge right or if you go to like home depot or lowe's it's just called all-purpose sponge or maybe grouting sponge but this is um it's like a foamy material it's just called all-purpose sponge or maybe grouting sponge but this is um it's like a foamy material has some sort of sharper side to it so this top side here and I know it's a little difficult to see but that top side there bunch I will show you how to cut a sponge all right we're going to take that sharp side and what I'm going to do here is just use my pointer finger and pull it back bunch I will show you how to cut a sponge all right but we're going to take that sharp side and what I'm going to do here is just use my pointer finger and pull it back to make that little distant tree line right so here we're sharps sharps okay hold on I'll give it a minute if we're freezing out that sucks it seems to happen every every so often I'm going to trust that we're back you're good okay we're good okay so here we go synthetic sponge we have that sharper side that I was talking about I yeah okay so let me let me show you what the synthetic sponge actually is so I actually have it up here they come in large chunks like this right and this one's a more like softer one uh but I get mine on Amazon like I said some people call it like grouting sponge and I just cut off small pieces I take these cheap ass scissors I cut off some small pieces the only thing I ever look for is that it has a sharper side like that right there at the top now if they don't have a sharper side don't throw it away you see I have one down here no sharp side to it whatsoever but we can use this so for our nature painting so don't ever throw pieces away okay just cut off some pieces the ones that have the sharper sides to them put them put them in like one pile so that's what I usually do here I'll have my sharp ones in one pile my not sharp ones in the other pile just make my life easier and at the end of the class if you guys I don't know why this is confusing as to you guys some people ask me how I cut them but I will show you guys how to cut them at the end of the class so here we go all I'm doing is taking my pointer finger right and I'm pulling back the top of the sponge we're going to go ahead and load up the sponge with the blue and this is very simple right little pressure always start with the least amount of pressure possible we're just going to tap our way up and you see because we we have this bit pulled back that's what's giving us that point up there because less of the sponge up there is making contact right so there we go and you just want to go ahead and tap your way across the entire thing that's how we're going to get our tree line all right once you get the hang of it you'll really be able to knock these whoops you guys almost fell once you guys get the hang of it though you'll be able to knock them out really easy okay whoops so here we go let's go across we don't need to go across the whole thing how about we go to like here and then maybe we'll do another tree line or maybe we'll just kind of like fast forward maybe we'll do like a little lake or something let's see let's see let's just kind of go with it and we'll see how we feel in a minute what we also want to do here yeah i think that's good right there what we also want to do here is give it a nice little cushion as well so you can go ahead and just keep tapping your sponge downwards or if you're lazy like me and you have your handling down just kind of prevent some of that blue in there all right just give it a little bit of a cushion for you to work with all right so this is looking really good so far i'm thinking we could just do like another tree line and just have it be like a forest type thing but i am i'm a i'm an absolute i'm not i'm not sure i'm allowed to say that word i i really like waterfalls and lakes and stuff like that so let's go ahead and do that we're going to need some sort of straight edge if you don't have an actual straight edge find some trash remember scrap poster is your best friend okay but for me i have this giant straight edge thingy majiggy i don't even know i think i got this from amazon i think this is amazon's we're just going to go ahead and block this off down here and let's go ahead and throw our colors down now i think actually what i want to do here i'm just going to take all these colors that we kind of used up here so we have some like red yellow all that nonsense up there so let's just start with some yellow and i'll put that like kind of under our planet throw some of that purple in there as well not really worrying too much about anything maybe a little bit of that red uh okay now let's go ahead and i'll try to tilt this so you can actually see let's go ahead and fill up some blue just kind of replicating all the colors that are in the sky and we'll go ahead and throw some of that neon green in there as well although i'm not sure it'll really come up okay just like that i'm actually going to let this sit here for a second before we go on it and we we move on to the next thing in the meantime let's go ahead and make some clouds here right right under at least some sort of mist right under our trees um and you know what we'll add a bunch of other like close-up trees and stuff like that to kind of fill in this gap over here but we won't worry about that right now let's go ahead and take we made that little northern lights tool earlier this is just a piece of scrap it's trash is what it is but it's like scrap poster and i tore off a piece right so we have that natural tear right here that's exactly what we're going to use we're going to take some white and you just use normal white here and i'm just going to hold this right above my canvas i'm hovering maybe like a centimeter above the thing and we're just going to spray down now when you want something really small and like controlled what you want to do is basically just spray all of your paint onto the tool now if you want them to be thicker and a little bit more wild i guess i don't know if that's the correct word to say for art but then you would go ahead and put more of that paint on the canvas instead but we're just going to go ahead and spray down these little clouds over here and we'll we'll just extend it all the way over here so why not right why not okay you know what in the meantime because i still want to let this sit for maybe just a few more seconds but while we wait how about we go back to the sky up here and we add some more stuff so we could add i was really thinking like comets i really like the idea of comets so four comments if i could find something here we go i'm just gonna grab more scrap poster here i can't really it's just literally trash it's what it is trash we're just going to tear off another piece of that that has a flat side to it so something like that will hopefully work right i'll show you exactly how to make this tool what we're going to do flat side here we're just going to kind of fold it we're not going to crease it right see we just kind of have that bend i'm going to pinch it down a little bit so we have that opening right there down there now if you want your comments to be open towards the end you focus your pressure towards the bend focus your finger pressure there i like to have mine closed so i focus my finger pressure in the back i'm just going to flip this over right and we're going to treat this like a funnel we're going to spray some white on the inside here not really trying to spray for the hole down there like for the opening i'm just kind of just spraying on the inside here and it'll go ahead and redirect all that white down okay so i want to paint i want these to be a little smaller so let me just pinch it down a little bit more and let's see what they look like that's gonna be the same concept okay i don't i don't like these i like them all right i always do them off to the side first just kind of see what's going on but we're hovering and i'm spraying white on the inside that's it that is it so here we go we have some little comments in there and i'll give you guys a close-up in a minute let's get some more how about up there in this corner and remember paint will start building up in here so you might have to wipe off the tool but we seem to be fine right just like that that looks great we have some comments now oops let me just get you guys a little closer right we have some there in the planet and over there really cool i like it we might add more a little bit later but let's go back to this water and i want you to go ahead and block this off same exact spot again with your straight edge now i want you to go ahead and take i would i'm just going to take black but any sort of dark color would usually work however just keep in mind we already use dark blue here okay so keep that in mind keep that in mind so we're going to pick like another dark color other than just black keep in mind what you already have down here we're just going to cover this all up with black all of it just like that and it doesn't have to be 100% covered don't worry about that now we're going to go ahead and get more trash and we'll just use this trash i'm just gonna kind of tear this piece off just like that make sure it has a flat side to it that's all you really got to worry about all right and what we're going to do hold on let me make sure you guys are looking for a clear coat right and when i when i talk about clear coat this is what i use right this is going to re-wet the paint for us we're going to have to use a lot of it we're just going to re-wet all of this black spray all of this black and now i'll get you guys out of the booster seat for another view but we're going to take this flat bit we're going to place it down at the top here and we're just going to swipe back and forth and kind of work our way down right we're just going to swipe back and forth work our way down you're just squiggling you're just squiggling back and forth that's all that we're doing here all right so let me get you guys out of the booster seat or you know what let me try because you kind of need two hands for this there's going to be turbulence i'm sorry but there's going to be turbulence there's nothing i can do about it turbulence okay but i want to get you guys a better view of what's actually kind of happening here if my booster seat would work there we go so maybe we can get a better view maybe we've got maybe maybe i don't know we'll see so clear coat all right i'm just taking this flat side and you see i'm not completely straight up and down right we kind of have it at this angle here i'm just kind of scraping paint away right swiping back and forth back and forth just kind of working our way down here and all those colors that we did that's what's showing up right here this is another example of the first layer being really important takes a lot of clear coat this is one of the i think best looking techniques for water it's not the most fun but it's one of the best looking so there we go we have our water and it looks like it just looks rough right it doesn't look like the calm lake it looks like it has waves and it looks like there are shadows in there without actually putting in all the effort of shadows so it's really nice it's a really nice thing to learn okay so back up i'm sure you guys are in there this looks really good so far okay and then one thing i like to do as well is i'll take my straight edge i'll go back to the water line up here the horizon and either you can use black which looks more realistic however i think it looks more boring and i think it just dulls your painting but i'll go ahead and take some white and what i'm going to do just put this back up here and i'm just going to spray white onto the tool onto the tool not onto the canvas it's going to go ahead and give it a nice white highlight up there at the top love it i love it okay so maybe we'll go ahead and do waterfalls here so here's how we're going to do this we're going to remember it's all about feeling good right we don't think okay at least i don't like thinking so here's what i'm going to do you can spray black off to the side however i'm just going to spray it directly onto my fingers like that super incredible amazing techniques keep don't blink okay we spray some black on the fingertips and we just swipe just swipe in some little pockets of land wherever it feels right just swiping it swiping it we're going to swipe in some little pockets of land we're also going to have to kind of finger paint some land in here so let's say that we want a little drop off for a waterfall because i love waterfalls i can't help myself we're just going to kind of finger paint some black in there because i want that dark background because i really want these waterfalls to pop right and remember think about the dip right the dip is where the water is actually pouring out from these rocks okay which means everywhere outside of the dips we can say a dip is going to be right here a waterfall is going to come right here we'll then elevate all the rocks around it right make it a dip because if it's all the same level well then it's not really a dip anymore is it right we know how to make this whole thing a dip right here i'm just kind of swiping my finger in there maybe actually maybe we'll just do it right there so we'll have a little tiny waterfall there in the meantime let's make more land maybe like a bit of land right there not bad okay so let's go ahead and i want to add actually i want to add some like thicker trees right there i'm gonna kill my cat i'm not actually gonna kill my cat i'm gonna annoy her with a lot of hugs and cuddles later but she she gets pet hair all over my clothes like i think she finds joy in just making finding my laundry my clean laundry and just laying all over it okay so there we go we have some lines right here now you can take anything sharp for this but what i'm going to use is just my angled palette knife and we're going to use some clear coat just re-wet the paint here and we're going to make we'll make two pine trees right here so i'm just going to use the point of my palette knife just scrape in a line and we'll scrape in another line right there those look pretty good uh and let's grab that piece of sponge from earlier all right and this time we're going to use that same sharp side what we're going to do is pinch it this way we're going to pinch it this way and i know this can be a bit complicated right but we're gonna i think we're going to use black this time i think we are going to use black this time so let's grab something a little something something we're going to spray black to the side here right like i said we were taking this sponge we're just going to pinch it this way now and we're going to go ahead and load it up with that black right just like this i'll get you guys out of the booster seat and the whole idea of this is as we're going to tap and we're going to go in a zigzag pattern and work our way down okay so we just zigzag our way down but as i go down the tree i'm going to open this up a little bit more more and more as we kind of work our way down right so i'll do one tree just kind of here and then i'll get you guys out of booster seats show you right so we're just like down left down right down left down right and i'm slowly opening up this sponge and we kind of get like a general shape just get the general shapes first and then go back and fill in any little gaps and add some randomness to it right maybe we want some branches that go up you know i usually just kind of tap through it again to be completely honest with you but i mean there we go we have a little pine tree we'll add some little highlights i'm sorry for some reason bixby just thought they were going to open whatever bixby thought they were going to open i was choked on air black to the side right here we go that sponge we're going to pinch it this way like so load it up over here right just tap extremely lightly at the top we're seeing we're zigzagging our way down i'm just kind of zigzagging our way down and as we move down i'm slowly opening up this sponge so now we're basically flat straight we started like this now we're like this okay and we just zigzag our way down we have a general shape tree okay and we're going to go back i'm going to fill in all those little gaps maybe we can bring it out a little bit more not bad not bad i think i'm actually let's go back to this technique right here this one i pull back the top and let's just give it a little nicer point to the tops of these trees something like that i don't know you just got to mess around with it i guess but now we have small pine trees all right and i think they do look pretty good and for a highlight or a highlight do we do green or we do i think i'm kind of like the blue i like the idea of some blue so let's try to get that dark blue in here i'm just going to flip this over so i get a clean side and let's spray some dark blue down now i'm going to use the same sponge same sponge that already has all that black on it because i don't want this to be too bright right but it's going to be the same exact thing here we're going to use a little pressure tap back and forth but we're going to tap in less spots less pressure because we don't want to overtake the black we just want to add to it right and i think this might be a little too dark so i might actually switch it up and go something a little lighter on top of it but i mean it's not bad it is a faint little highlight in there i don't know if you guys can actually see it but i think maybe some teal i think i might want to try to throw just a little bit of teal in i feel like i never used teal and it's sad because teal is a dope color and i don't know i want to use it so i'm going to spray some teal to the side now that cat needs to go in the trash all right here we go we'll use the same sponge again blow it up with that teal and this time we're going to tap we'll just tap in less spots again oh it's really dark still but you know what i like it i like it all right just really quick kind of going over this i'd like that i really like that teal that's nice maybe we'll kind of make some stuff down here i don't know there we go i really like that though okay so let's go ahead and do how about we make some more bushes over here we won't make like trees but we'll make bushes so let's grab our black and i'm just going to spray directly on the sponge you don't have to spray to the side you can spray onto your sponge as well now when it comes to like a plant life not trees there are no rules with this hold your sponge however you want you can hold it like this you can hold it straight up you can do whatever okay but just kind of tap right just kind of get some plants in there right just a little something something just kind of tap some stuff in there and let's do the same exact thing let's go ahead and throw those highlights in there let's get that dark blue let's throw that dark blue to the side remember you're not going to overtake the black you just want to add to it add little highlights up there right we're just kind of following the same exact flow now let's go ahead and grab some of that teal in there as well and throw some of that teal in there right just like that that's not bad that's not bad at all now what i am going to do is make sure that my rocks are in front of that which is the black there we go okay so now let's do the waterfalls let's do our all our little white lines and all that good stuff so here's what i want you to do you can i want you to grab another piece of scrap all right i want you to grab another piece of scrap but you can see there's like a natural this isn't a completely straight flat side it's like a naturally it's a torn side that's the side that we're going to be using if you can't get something like this which i can't even fucking tell you how i do it okay i just somehow do it you can use a flat side as well okay but i'm just going to kind of tear off a little piece actually we'll get a few different size pieces we'll get a pretty chunky one like that we'll get we'll make a smaller one like that and you know fuck it we'll just keep whatever's left over right so we have three sizes here to work with now off to the side we'll say this is our off to the side tool let's grab some white spray some white to the side i know there's some paint left in here in this economy we use every last drop go have some white i want you to take your little tool and i want you to dip that in the white it's very simple we're just going to go scrape in some lines and then we're going to do the waterfalls here for the lines you just swipe back and forth just swipe in some little white lines wherever land meets water that's a good place to put a little line give it a little water line go ahead and make some little ways some little ripples go crazy go wild right under here we'll go ahead and make a whole little line right i'm just swiping along with with the little little piece of trash all right so there's some land right here just go ahead and put a little water line under that right little white lines not the illegal kind all right now for the waterfalls here we go this is where the good stuff happens once again we're dipping that side in some white we go to the top of our dips right here remember those rocks that we made and we made all those dips we go to the top we drag it down that is it that's it my best advice is to full send it okay full send it is the best best advice that i can give you because slow and steady is a bunch of bs now if i could actually pick up my tool there we go so dip it in some white just like so we come over here to the top of our dip we drag it down right and you can go ahead and i gave it a like a little curve up there but you can go ahead and make them completely flat as well like you can make them straight down so we can just go here drag it down remember just full send it just like that we have our come over here maybe we'll go the other way something like that i like it i like it right now here we go we have a lot of good stuff now let's make the splish splash because those look really good that's so good we have good waterfalls we have good waterfalls here let me maybe bring you guys down a little there we go okay so let's go ahead and make the splish splash grab some sort of straight edge you can grab like an actual thing if you want but you just use the trash i move these out of the way let me move you guys down here my thing is like almost off the table okay there we go so here we go i'm just going to block off the water here and i'm just kind of hovering here we're going to take some white and the whole idea here i'm going to start with the spray on the tool and then i'm just going to kind of flick up that's what you're going to see here we don't have to flick up too much because it's not a very big waterfall and if you want to add more splash to the splish what you can do is actually just same way we did our stars right spray some white onto the finger maybe flick to the side just once and then flick some splash to the splish just a little something something all right very cool very cool and finally let's just go ahead and add a little bit more plant life i guess in here and we'll add some birds of course i love my birdies so we'll add some birds and i think maybe we'll just make some grass and then how about we kind of frame out like really close up like plants and stuff so let's do that here we go we're going to need some clear coat to re-wet the paint here but we're just going to add some like maybe some tall grass right here just bring some clear coat down i'm just using my angled palette knife using the point there you can use anything sharp and we're just going to kind of flip up swipe up right make a bunch of little lines right and i i can get you guys out of the booster seat for that i guess as well we could probably do it for the rest of the painting to be honest i know i gotta spray wd-40 on my booster seat it squeaks but see we're just kind of flicking up right maybe make a bunch of little details like this spray paint art doesn't have to be like cheap planets all the time you can add details you can make like these really full complete paintings you can even add like little rocks under it right the small details are what really make stuff it's also one of the things and maybe you guys don't care about selling stuff but when you guys get to the point where you're selling your artwork it's also what makes your customers happy small little details they'd like to be able to look at a painting for the 100th time and be able to find something new in it right okay so that looks we'll just have the little grass there now let's go ahead and add a little background to our to our plants that we're going to kind of frame out this painting with we're going to spray a little mist of white in the corners maybe a little bit down here just so when we give these these plants this black base they really pop right so let's do that spray some black to the side we're gonna grab that sponge that we've been using all painting and we're almost done here just load it up with some black and this is the crazy part you don't really have to follow any rules like this one if you want to fold it like this and just tap and kind of make some pretty cool looking plants like that for me i like to just kind of tap you can even swipe if you want right so i think looks always a little bit more tropical to me which i don't think is the vibe here so we'll keep that like right there right but there's all sorts of things that you can do with this stuff so uh so let's go ahead and just tap everywhere we can even do well let's do the let's do the base first let's do the base first so let's get more black before we move on to i was thinking maybe as like a tree branch but we can do that after maybe in front of the waterfall a little bit okay so we kind of got this black face we can just darken it up in the corner with like actual black okay it's like pink right maybe a little bit down there a little bit right just kind of darken it up we'll add the highlights of course in a minute but let's do let's make our fountain pen real quick and the fountain pen is really easy i probably have one over here what it is is just some scrap with a flat side and we fold it in half like you actually crease it and fold it in half right and the whole idea here right we're gonna go ahead and spray some black into that crease i don't want to put you guys back in the booster seat if i don't have to right so boom crease looks good and then when you tilt it down what happens is you can kind of draw stuff out with it right so this is how we're gonna make our birds and if we do a tree branch so we're going to do the tree branch as well right you can use a paintbrush if you want just remember spray paint destroys paintbrushes like instantly so let's go ahead and do like a branch right here right and make it jagged don't make it like completely straight because that's not what nature is that not that's not how nature be so we'll have some lines connected to the line here some lines connected to the lines that are connected to the lines and i have a little tree branch kind of nice right kind of nice and while we're at it let's go ahead and throw some birds in here right so these are just wonky looking bees oops right just like that some little birdies right so we just start from the center arch your wing out you can arch it out however you want you can have it go just straight out and then we go back to the center just arch your wing out the other way that's it let's go ahead and make one more here just like that pretty now one thing i like to do as well especially when the birds are a lot bigger just go back to the center kind of pull some black down for a body right so there we go some more birds so this is this is looking complete little tiny things whoops oh shit i didn't mean to do that okay anyway more black and how about we put some give some leaves to the tree right so we loaded this up with some black right at the tops of these branches because we just have a little bit and they don't have to be like big full like leaves just add a little little just a little bit a little bit of something something right looks nice looks nice okay um so let's just go straight for the teal and i'm just trying to get as much black off of this as we can let's go back to the teal oh we need a cap for the teal i have i have caps always if you're going to buy spray paint especially in this cold weather always get some backup caps always because they're going to clog a lot whoops i'll just put that to the side right now we're just going to go ahead and load this up remember we're not overtaking the black right we're just adding to it just kind of tap tap tap tap follow the sit try to follow the same flow like we kind of went up like this you know so just kind of follow the same flow but we left a lot of black space there and i actually think that this might even be a little too bold so it might go over that again but you don't need to use a all right we're just adding some of that highlight there and then for right here as well on these leaves so up here we're going to add a little highlight to those leaves it doesn't need to be super bold or anything it just needs to be a little something something right and you're in my way maybe we'll go this way a little something something right well something something you know what i actually have the perfect idea let's go ahead and just we're not even gonna worry about that so we have we started with all these fluorescent colors and stuff like that let's go let's finish off the painting down here with this fluorescence as well so let me go ahead and kind of organize myself a little bit okay so let's go back to how about we try the flame blue it's like that transparent blue down here in the corner i'm just spraying down here in the corner we're gonna add a little mist down here right the flame blue let's try to add some of that acid green as well instead of just adding white you know let's try to add a little little something something like that acid green right there in the corner and you know what i don't even think it needs white however i will take that disco white it's that fluorescent white just add a little bit in the corner right there i'll go in this corner add a little bit in that corner right there that looks great that looks fantastic okay so that is basically it we're done i'm going to come to my canvases which is what this is i always use triple thick right the stuff is incredible it's amazing give it a good shake and we're going to finish off this painting by giving it a nice even layer of this triple six just make sure i got up there okay wow this looks really great this looks really great and i am going to spray just a little bit more in the corner of just normal clear to re-wet that paint there because that out of my way booster seat is where i signed very nice very nice
