Transcripts

1. Spray Essentials For Beginners: Yes, with the same kept you make thing lines or thinker ones in this class. I'm going to guide you through the basics off spray paint, how that can works while you can go to decrease the pressure and smooth the lines. Teacher, to understand how the cap works and the difference between them about your protection, how to make radiant and some basic exercise to understand the lines and then practice, practice, practice. Sing with me to the end of the class because I'm going to show you what I do with my used and clocked capes. If you want to know more about me and my work, go to my first class introduction here in skills share spray on canvas. I believe you will link on the class project they represent to you a little more about myself in some works and what I've done over these 12 years experience. I hope to see you there. Now let's learn about scraping for a master wife so speaker materials follow me and let's play 2. How Does It Work And All About Caps: well. Ah, hello. Welcome to the class. Let's talk about the system off this free. We will look inside the can and laid it on this last son. Learn about the caps and the difference between them. This break in has three elements inside the guests your problems. The liquid propellant with the pains and the P or the agitator. Off course, The camp on the outside. When spring is resting, everything gets separated. If you're spring without shaking it, you can either splash it all over the place or you. We want to get the problems out. Without the paint, you can notice that it's really transparent. There's no pigment there because of that. You really need to agitate the can before beginning your work. This will make the painful through and direct supply when working as a true yes, two minutes each can endure bits ago. Let me show you the difference between no shaking and shaking it for a couple of means. Now everything is all together again and the pain comes out smooth. Plus, it says to shake it right there on the kin. Who just the difference. Let me know now a trick if you turn the can upside down and let some guess out You lower the pressure off the care and this will make the lines and evolve even softer. Please give it a try at the very beginning. For three or four seconds, maybe the can lose some pigment. But then only the gas will come out and instantly your candle start to get cold. Seriously, it gets cold. I'm looking forward for incremental that one and the trick on the trick Use a fat cat for this because it releases more gas without clogging. I will teach you how to understand the caps and how they were. There are a few varieties off caps for this free and it will work like you Fitzer Parish. It's the cap that give you the kind of line and affect you once. There are some unique ones like a calligraphy kept needle cap leg. OK, but today I'm only going to teach you about the three main ones just for the purpose of understanding how they work. They are the skinny cap, the sander cap and the fat cat To know the difference between them. You need to look inside. Can you see the perfect circle that goes into the can. That's what you need to look it. Here's a skinny cat with a perfect circle and no space. Let me show you the Fed kept, so you can see it more clearly. Do you notice this face now? Not a perfect circle and a lot of space for the pain to come through. Isn't it amazing? The regular camp has a more team into space, but it's there. The more the stays, the more paint that ticker the lines. Let me show you again the skin you want. No space, very thing lines. You only need these three types to start. Get to know them deeply before you move to the other types off caps. 3. Rotation Of The Can: Lines and Gradients: yes, sprays toxic. That's why you need to protect herself from those tiny particles that could get into your body and lungs. Where mask wear gloves. The message prevent you from breathing in the dust that stays in the air for a while when you're painting, and even a few minutes later they fly like a charm. The futures, when opened, should last six months and then need to be replaced. The masters usually comes with elastic pants that you can adjust on your face and make it comfortable but firm. We really don't want any dust in the gloves will protect your hands from getting all the paint on your skin. This love that I'm showing you is from a very slippery plastic, which didn't really work for me. So only for the purpose of teaching and making this place, I will do it without the place. But wear gloves, please. If you already put your mask and gloves, we can start to talk about the rotation of the Kim. The capsule give you the lines and some effects. But is the rotation of the can that gave you the radiant in shopping lines on one side or another? If you're wrong, teacher can. Pointing down the top of your line will be Scharping and the Grady, and effective would be from the top to bottom. You should pointed left. The right would be sharpened and the great and would be from writes a left and so forth. The rotation is on the same. I exist as the cape. Imagine the cape is a thought, more like a glove and rotate from there. Also, how much rotator can we give you? A wider or narrower radiant? The first line I made here has almost no radiant, but the 2nd 1 has a beat one. The bottom line has a medium radiant, and this last one almost none again. It's all about controlling the rotation off the Kim, and if you don't get it right the first time, just go ahead and paint over it. We'll take down, rotate up and the closer look. Remember to practice. Go ahead and make line. Go over the line again, make a close square with the great hand effect over the line. Again, everything is right. You're practicing. As you can see, My line here is very shaking. Look, but then I'll get it right on the diagonal. One. Just wait for you, see straight and sharpen. Just practice with that in mind. It's easier. Tool, for example, mix the colors and make it to colored radiant. You just go with one caller from the left and the other from the right or up or down or vice a person. You got what I'm saying. Note the distance between the can and the surface you're working on. We'll give you a different effect. We would talk about it in a second. Everything matters in spree things. 4. Lines With Spray: Exercises: Let's put this break into work. You can do it on a piece of paper. King of us Whoa! It doesn't really matter because you're breakfast only lines and movements, So use what you've got. I will be working on a paper with the center kept Begin with the line from one side to another. Go from near the paper than far away Fred To observe how the lines work from each different movement to make with the same cape the Sander. I could make a very thin line when I put my can very close to the paper and the fat line just by moving in a little further. Can you see it from this angle? Continue the exercise going from left to right from right left ups and downs close and far away. The most important thing is to notice the lines. You can even make a zigzag going from thin to fete, which means you're going from near the paper so far away. Remember, I am only talking about the distance, not the rotation. So you go from near the paper too far away from the paper in the same angle. Give it a try the next exercise is to connect the dots. You can make three dogs in connecting the triangle or four dots and make a square. You can circles and so forth, I repeat, noticed the lines. Keep it the same angle or not. It's up to you, but the conscious of what you're doing. Notice if the line get thicker or thinner while you connect those thoughts, try to keep it at one distance point and just move it parallel from the surface. Without the rotation I mentioned before, keep doing those lines into your feel upper paper and move onto the next one practice breakfast breakfast. One thing you notice is that when you're doing those thoughts to connect the lines, you're also practicing the dots. That's right. It's not so easy to the doubts with the spray paint because it can drip. So you're already practicing it. You can make a lot off lines in just one paper. So Philip, those farms you can go from left to right and vice versa. This way, it feels in more evenly. You can practice everything on one piece of paper. Remember to change the direction you're working on from left to right from right to left experiments making a line over a line you already mate. It's a good exercise for procedure. Also, speed is very important. Chose the angle from your hands and go for it. Philip. The statement with as much lines as you can get and then changed to the next one. Continue the exercise with any forms you feel like doing like a spiral and other farms. We talked about it. Dry angle, square circles. I star, you name it. It's important to make the lines The Ghana lines Straight lines keep playing, having fun and noticing what you're doing. Is it far away from the paper or is it close? Is the length in or take which angle would you like to work on? Is the Grady int enough for you? Keep practicing. 5. Final Tip: What To Do With Used Caps: My final tip for today's class is to reuse their plug caps. What I do. I turned them into key chains. Adorable, right, less trash for the world and a very awesome and unique souvenir. Thank you for watching, and I'll see you in the next place, Jean Jean.
