Aka - Planet Painting with Spray Paint

Hi guys and welcome to my channel. In today's video I'm going to be using the AKA Writer's Series spray paint. I'm going to be using an aftermarket skinny cap on the cans. I'm going to be painting on some glossy paper which is 350 gsm. First up we'll get some light blue. I've just got to change a cap over. Didn't like that one. Could have been just a dodgy cap. We're spraying well now. A bit of blue over it. I'll get a bit of yellow. I don't like any skinny caps. It seems to be all right now. Could have been my finger got over it. Got over the nozzle a bit. Let's try this blue again. Oh yeah now it's better. That's it. So I'll get some material to make some texture with. So I'm using the plastic sheet. Crunch it up. Oh I forgot. Right now we'll get some black and a bit of black at the bottom. Put a bit up there as well. This one and a bit of white over that. Put a bit down here. That's it. Now we'll get the thing we're making texture with. I'm going to be using the plastic sheets and we'll crunch it up. Place it over the wet paint and rub your fingers over it. Nice and lightly. Then we'll peel it back to reveal some awesome texture there. So I'll get the white, the white highlight at the top. Like that. And some black at the bottom for the shadow. Like that. Now it's time to dry it with the heat gun. Using the heat gun is a lot safer than using the flame out of a can. Right now for the lid stencil. Cover with a bit of a white highlight and the black. That'll do there. Nice. Now a bit of yellow down here for the signature later. Now black around it all. Around the lid stencil lightly. So like I said in previous videos the skinny cap lets a lot less paint out so doing the background takes longer. But on the other hand you do save paint because it's letting less paint out. And if you put too much paint down on the background the colours you put over the top will start seeping into the black. So you'll lose some of the colour. I've had some black done on the background. Let's put some colour in it. First off we'll put some blue around this planet. Around the lid stencil. So spraying towards the lid. Make sure you get right nice up to that lid stencil. The edge. And we'll go this way. That's like that blue. Nice and bright. Now I'll add a bit of yellow as well. Just a bit there. Just going to carry on with this cap like I like to see. Just swap them over. Spray a bit of yellow there. A bit more blue on here I think. A bit of black. Around there. And leave that like that. Liking that. Now we'll move on to the stars. So a bit on your finger like that. Then flick the rest onto the painting. Flick, flick, flick. Make your stars. A bit more up there. Right that's it. Now we'll add a couple of big stars. I think I'll have a blue one over here. A nice blue one there. And my other yellow one. Have a look. Now that'll do for that. I'm going to move over to the smaller stencil. Put a few blue ones in around there. Like that. Have one here. That'll do. Now I've got this star stencil. I'm going to put some white in the middle of these ones. So white there. White there. So they look like glowing stars. And also you can put some white in the middle of these smaller stars. So get a paint pen or anything like that. We can just dot one. We could dot one in there if you want on top of white. There. A bit more paint through there. I don't want to push the paint pen down onto the painting because it might bring the black back through. You want the stars nice and white. So just this last one here. Pull that there like that. So now we've got the background done. Lid stencil off. So take your time. Oh yeah I really like that. I love them. Love them colours. Them yellow and blues go really well together. So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to try a bit of clear coat over it as well. This is Montana clear coat varnish. So I'm using two cans because I haven't got much in these. Hopefully I've got enough to do this one. So just spray it back and forth and we'll see if it reacts or not with the paint when we're putting it on. Might do, might not. I've never tried clear coating with a Montana on the AKA Writer Series before. A bit where your signature is going to go. Now grab your pallet knife, something down here and the painting's done. So I'm really happy with the way this turned out. I love the colours on there. I think it looks great. I also have a more in-depth tutorial about the AKA Writer Series spray paint on my channel.
