Spray Paint Planet Art

1. Introduction: Have you ever seen this? Paintings? They do off awesome looking planets done with spray paint. These are incredibly easy. And you do not need any talent or experience at all. Just follow along with my tips and tricks and you will be producing pieces like this one in the time I hope us you in my class. 2. Materials: for materials you need to work either on at least 200 grand glass paper or on canvas. I prefer working on 300 years in paper. But whatever you have the reason for that is if the papers too soon, although spray paint we're going to apply is going to make the paper to wit, anything to start tearing on that last paper is because you want that nice gloss finish T o P's and you could also work on canvas. The only problem with canvases. It takes a lot longer to dry between layers, so you need a little bit more patients if you're looking with canvas. But otherwise it also looks perfectly fine when you're going to need some paper circles. Take what you have around the house to draw some circles with on the same heavy paper you were using and cut the match. You can use coffee mugs, plates, whatever you have to just get various sized circles up to a four size or up to your canvas or paper size. Then you also need old magazines. You're going to use the pages. I'm take them out and crumple them up to get the effects on the planet when spray paint gloss spray paint is based. If you confined it, the kind of spray ping doesn't really matter. I bought whatever was the cheapest of my hardware store, so it doesn't really matter too much. Fast drying is better because your project takes less time, but it's just convenience, not necessary. Then you need at the very least black and white and then two other colors that your bay minimum, the more colors you have, obviously, the more you can create. But you do definitely need black, white and two other colors, then optional. If you want to add some cool effects in the foreground, you can use a palette knife to add effects, too, Um, the landscape and then acrylic paint and paintbrushes. If you want to add some more detail into the foreground and thats it, lets get started. 3. Planet base color: I used masking tape to secure my Page two aboard because I like the little white board. It makes me take the masking tape off, but that's completely optional. Then take your little paper circles and just decide way on your page. You want your planets to be and what size you want them to be. This is totally up to you. I decided I like this quite big moon, and then the smaller one could be a planet and then take anything heavy to wear them down. I have these little glass stones just to keep them in the same spot. Then use very little spray paint to just mark out where you want your planet to be. This doesn't have to be precise. You didn't have to use a lot of spray paint on just you're using it the same color you want the planet to be just so you don't have color mixing happening, but it's just very basic. See, you have an idea where you're going to use paint. You don't waste it, so we're going to start by doing the small planet and we take some of our magazine paper and we crumple it up it doesn't matter how you crumple it up. You can fold shapes into it, or you can just do a very messy crumble. So I want my planet to be mainly raid some adding a lot of red paint on there and then very quickly add some black and white before the raid drives. You don't want any of your colors to be dry while you're doing this. I'm just adding a little bit of white because I want this to be a dark planet and then put your crumpled magazine on and just pushed down. We'll swipe your fingers over it if you want to have a little bit of a stripey effect and look how cool that looks. I just want to left a little bit more off the black off so you can have more red. There we go. Super easy for the big planet. I'll add more colors. Isn't it a big day space for more colors. So I start with my purple, which I want my outside edge to be, and then I'm moving in with some red and then I'm gonna end up with some yellow so your best option is to go through the color wheel. You don't want to use green the next two purple because you're gonna end up with brown in the middle, so just use colors that are closer to each other on the color wheel. If you want to graduate from one color to the next and then once again we use black. We want the dark side of your planet to be my undecideds dark and then my topside is light . So the white is mostly for clouds and then the darkest for shadows. And then again, I pushing my paper down and just pushing some stripes into it, because that creates a cool, cloudy effect because it doesn't pick it up exactly all the way evenly. This is a little more unpredictable and fun. And then I'm just going to use another piece to pick up some more color where I want to pick up more color. Where there's still too much black was too much white for my taste. You just keep doing this until you're happy with what it looks like, and it's as simple as that. Your planets space color is done 4. Defining the planets: we're not going to define our planet's. So I am going to first put a shadow on the bottom of my planets just by spraying sort of off off the planet's only a little bit off that black paint ends up on the planet. You don't want to ruin that pretty planet texture you made, and then same with white. I'm doing a white highlight on the opposite side. Not a lot of my other planets could. You can't really see the top of it because cut off the edge of the page so you're going to put your little stencils back on top. Once it's dry, it's important to wait for it to dry first. Otherwise, you're going to have in, well, stencil stuck to your page. It's going to take, so weigh them down with some stones or anything else that's heavy, and your planet texture is going to be a little bit bigger than your Stansell's. You consort off, pick which part you like the most when you're placing your Stansell back down. When painting your background, you can either do everything black, where you consort of graded from black into a lighter color. You're going to want your black background to be with the highlight part of your planet is , and your lighter color to be with the dark part of your planet is so there's some contrast . So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go from black up top with my lettuce all the way down to a yellow, and I'm going to use the same, um, colors that I used on my planet. I'm going to go from black to purple to red to yellow, but you could just be really simple and just use black and blue, or even just black for your 1st 1 if you prefer. Now you're just spraying that whole background in the you can spray over your little templates. That's what they're there for the day to protect the rest of your artwork, and they you have the start of your background done 5. Background detail: Now we're going to add some more detail to our background to make it look more like a sky. So I'm taking some acrylic paint because my spray paint is too sick. But you can take your spray paint of users thinner, putting it on a brush and just flicking its to create stars. So just use any hard bristle brush and makes sure it is slightly. Wait and then dip it into your paint. Wipe most of your paint off and then just use your finger to flick it and that you have stars. She is. If you're spray painted nice and thin, you can use your spray paint. I may be tested on on a different piece first. Otherwise, you can use a different acrylic paint. So here my yellow is not looking nice because it's having to go over the black. So I'm just going to spray paint that white so I can go over it again with the yellow so the yellow will stand out more on white and sit up on black and just going in with my yellow again. You can see it pops a lot more now that it's on white instead of on that black there was at the bottom, and I did cover most of my red, So I'm just going to go over a little bit with the red again. You could just keep adding Cal until you're happy with your radiant. And now it's time to reveal your planets. So just take off your little template circle. If they stuck, just use a palette knife or something to just lift the edge. And then we go look at how nice that is. And now a bigger one. Look at how nice that contrast is the white against the dark sky in the dock against the lightest guy. It just gives a nice dimension to your planet. If you spray your whole background to look like a sky, you could stop now and you'd be done. But I did leave that white space at the bottom because we're doing a full ground. So if you do want to do a foreground, let's go to the next video 6. Water and foreground: you have a lot of different options for your foreground. The 1st 1 I'm going to do is water. You're going to start at the edges and do your darker colors and move into your lighter colors towards the center so you want to use the same colors. Is your sky is because of the reflection in the water. So I'm just doing that same radiant but more in a V shape. If you want a hard edge at the top, then you can place a paper down and then your color won't go over the paper. I do want to soft edge. That sort of looks like my skies fading into the water, and then you're just going to sort of do swipes with your finger, and there you have water. The most important thing is that you want to spray that white in the middle off your water is, and then you swipe so that the white sort of spreads over and creates that reflection. They could just keep swiping your finger over until you're happy with your water texture. You could do mountains or rocks in your foreground, so just take any paper and you just tear it and do some ragged shapes. I'm just doing a small one on the left of my painting. But if I moved it high, I could have had a mountain range all across my painting. So I'm just adding some white here because I want a bit of a highlight effect sort of the way we did the planets. So now I'm going to spray some black over all of that and then use the magazine. The crumpled magazine technique again just left some color off and get some texture. They can see the white just added little bit of texture at the top. And then with my palette knife, I'm gonna go in and just scratch out some off the rock shapes. So painting this new colors on top will loosen up the bottom colors and make them lift off of the paper so the white of the paper will be revealed. So I'm just doing some squiggly lines, which creates just a little bit of textron. My rock. This is totally optional. You could have stopped at the magazine's phase of it, and if you can add as many mountains into your four grand as you want it can be a whole focus point of your painting if you want. In so many ways, you can combine the different techniques to create different effects and landscapes in your full ground. And there we go, this one. You want to lift your paper off a soon as you're done, because you don't want that Sen. Edges of the paper to stick to your painting when it's dry, because it will stick a little. But if it's drives, not gonna come off nicely and then we go look at how cool that rock locks once again, you're painting can now be considered done. You've added some mountains in the foreground, or if you want to paint even more detail into your picture, go to the next video. 7. Acrylic tree: for painting details into the foreground. I'm just using normal acrylic craft paint, and for my tree, I'm using a flat brush. So I like doing a white tree, but you can do a black tree to create more of a shadow effect. It's whatever you prefer, so you can do. If you're doing a more dark a tree just everywhere where I'm using white pain, you just use black paint. So I'm just sort of painting in the basic shape of my tree limbs just to give me an idea of way leaves are going to go most of this. You won't see you when it's done because you're going to be painting leaves over it. But some of them will still be sticking out, which is why I'm just making sure that there's proper proper coverage and that the background isn't showing through Advil. I'm taking a thicker hot bristle brush. No, only putting a little bit off paint on it and wiping the rest off. And then I'm just stippling it over my tree, just putting down the basic shape of where one believes to be. You do want to leave gaps. It's very important that you leave gaps because in real trees the um leaves on spaced evenly and then take a middle color. It doesn't have to be all the same color. You can go in with black first thing brown, then green or here. I'm just going in with light purple and then dark purple because I want to keep it'll sort of in the same color range. But yes, for more realistic tree, it was going to use black, thin, dark brown and then green to make sure it's dry before between every layer. So every time you go in with a new colleague going to put lace paint onto that, the previous color still visible when you get to your last color, which for a realistic tree will be green on my example is purple going to put very little paint on when you're stippling it on? Now you want to sort of define where little clumps of leaves are, and you're going to sort of outline it. So pick a side that your shadow side in your light side, your last colors normally your highlight, but for me it's a shadow, so I'm picking the right side and meal. I'm going to focus more off my shapes on the right side of my tree on the right side of that clump of leaves. And this is just adding more and more layers to just add more arm depth to a tree. I am going in back in with my light color because I've covered most of it up and or for you . It will be black if you do a realistic tree. And just defining that clumps of leaves and I'm bringing was my flat brush again. And I'm just defining some of those bits of branches that are still showing. Now I'm going to add highlights to the base of my tree, so I'm using purple again. But if you're doing a realistic tree, you're going to be using a dark brown and then you're going to go over. It was a light brown and once again using light purple and then going in with a dark purple . So you just wanted to contrast with whatever color used for the base of your trees. If you starting dark, you on the work towards lightning deciding, like wanna work towards dark, so I'm just once again focusing on the right side because that is where my shadow is coming from on. I am just going to sort of give some shape to the tree because the trees not completely flat. So I'm just painting a little bits of in dense, um, and just defining the sides of the branches and the roots. I just give some nice dimension to it. So in your first Collier drinking to do nice and rough, and then you're going to go in with a shopper or lighter color or darker color and just add some even finer details to it. I stuck mine down with masking tape, and you can see how really nice that white edge looks when you're removing your masking tape. So I'm doing it purely because it looks nice, my masking tape just hearing. But it should come off smoothly. This is just really bad masking tape, and there have a really nice white border to my painting, and it's pretty much done so that you have a ton of different options to add detail to your planet painting. You can just do one planet with a background. You can just do some mountains. You can do just water into a combination of both and pain. What a record! He told you want into your foreground? Do you go? Your painting is done. 8. Final project: now that you followed along with me painting this piece, you can use the techniques we used to make the mountains, the sky, the water and the planets to do a lot of different paintings. All of these paintings were done with the same takings, so you can combine them in so many creative ways to create a whole range off planet artworks. For your final project, you just need to make artwork that has a planet using these techniques. You don't need any of the four grand details or you are welcome to add that if you want, all you need is the planet and the background. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
