I show you how I spray a painting from start to finish. I go over spray adhesive, spraying paint, lining up layers, islands, drying time, and more. Artwork for sale: www.etsy.com/sh...
wrong. Its all bad for your lungs. Latex, Oil, or Alcohol base is all bad to inhale, that being said it looked like he had done his homework and made a nice little spray booth with adequate overhead ventilation
good tutorial but it's a good idea to paint your edges and even the back edge of the canvas with the background color... especially if you're trying to sell it or keep it for awhile. It protects the canvas and it looks more professional.
Nice work my man, but I have a suggestion. I'm an airbrush artist by trade, I don't do much stenciling anymore because I have moved to freehand mainly, but have you thought about moving to an airbrush setup? You would have more control over your paint, plus you don't have to deal with the huge overspray booth and the odor of canned propellents. Just a thought as I only use cans now if I'm working on a mural for a business or something outdoors, but all my canvas and paper is airbrush.
Each piece is unique if you're not a perfectionist. You can reuse a stencil and find the piece still unique. If you want to be a perfectionist and and artist, just make ink prints, you can make 1000 perfectly the same. But that doesn't have the flair the lack of perfection that being imperfect with spray gives ya.
I actually like the over spray on it. it really makes it look like you used spray paint the hard edge is kool too but i really like spray paint look. Thanks for sharing man!
Great info. You really know what you're talking about here. But I just have to say you might want some fresh air circulation going on in there. Especially with aerosol cans. But great video.
Do you do any freehand? I've done a couple stencils and they came out nice but working on a tag as practice and to see how stuff works and just using masking tape the spraypaint leaks a bit under. It's not catastrophic and I can fix it up later when I fill the letters but I was wondering if there was a better way to make sure you get clean lines that also keeps the spray out. Thanks!
unfortunately i live in NZ which basically has very little range of spray paints. I have a choice of iron lak. the cheapest and most colours. or other random brands from hardware stores. :/ never seen or heard of montana till i started watching your videos. anyhting you suggest or just make do. i got 24 cans for 180 nz dollar which aint bad either but i have to agree the shine isnt that nice.
So I have an issue that im hoping you can help me w/ lol I have a gym bag (its like that loud windbreaker material) but basically i want to spray paint the bag. My question is what brand of spray paint will take to that material bag? & how can i spray paint a name on the bag? I was thinking maybe buy a stencil but im not sure? Ty lov :)
Definitely worth subscribing. I just got into this. it was well informed that I pulled a notebook out and took notes. shit even people in the comments have valuable tips and information.
You're tutorial is great. I just have one question though. How do I know which spray adhesive won't overstick and cause the paper to rip or even worse cause some of the paint to come off the canvas? I'm not in America so the brand you're using probably isn't here for sale.
Yo Base, Are you just using standard paper for your stencils? Ive been using acetate and find that in combination with acrylic spray paints they tend to run under my stencils even with adhesive and very light passes. Thanks for doing what you do brother.
Why don't you just cut out a piece of paper to fit over the whole picture that your trying to spray, and then spray that what color your background is (Black in this vid.) on top of the paper so you don't get any OVER SPRAYS in the end.
You have web adhesive. It's made that way so that it doesn't go all over the place, like the mist does. But both do the same thing. The web spray is made for screen printing, as it holds the garment to the palette.
Maybe I missed where you mentioned it, but does the spray adhesive never mess up your previous work or tear when you pull it off? I have issues getting stencils to stay and this seems brilliant. :x
Love ur vids man...great tips ..I keep having trouble printing out the bigger stencils that require more than one paper..u think u can make a vid on how exactly u print them out?!
What type of paper are you using for your stencils and how would you print out different size stencils? From the size of your hand to the size of a door for example.
what i have done before to fix up over spray is spray paint in a Gatorade lid and touch it up with a paint brush.. im not sure whats better.. thanks for the video though
Hi,amm i have a question could you make a picture all over the wall? Like 150 by 115cm .. I am a student i am studying painting and decorating at the moment we are doing stencilling and i would love to make a new york city on all of my wall real big.. Maybe you can help me with this? ))) and really nice vid sub +like;) keep them coming ;)
u use normal paper not card? also i cant find that locktite spray unless i pay 25 pound which is way too expensice is there a cheaper alternative thanks mate
i have the same loctite adhesive can that you use in the video, except it sprays strings out instead of a smooth spray like yours, do you why that happens?
Hey man, I'm looking at doing a layer stencil on my skateboard, should i use a gloss finish because i want that nice shiny finish if you know what i mean?
I get a lot of overspray when i do it... I never knew abou using spray adhesive though and that looks good.. But what if your not spraying on a canvas? like if im spraying onto paper, would spray adhesive be too strong and make it stick permanently?
I am sure you know this already, But if you are in a small area such as what it looks like you are you really need to have some sort of fresh air coming in even though it is a small amount of paint it builds up not only will you feel it in your head seems as if you might be already starting at 19:20 mark? LOL IDK but the fumes can and will blow up if the mix is right, How you ask? cuz you have no open flame or high heat source? See that clamp light on the wall-well if you bumped that clamp light and it hits the floor the bulb breaks you have a nice little spark to get it all going (some fumes sink to the floor so you may have more at your feet than what you think you have around your head). You do a Great Job you seem to really enjoy what you do I am in NO WAY trying to get on your back at all . Your going to have a bad day if that was to happen that's all---GREAT JOB !!!
Awesome video man. It's obvious you've got a good grasp on all the mechanics of paint. I do have to agree with earlier posts though. Safety first. Stop breathing that mess. Besides the mask looks cool.
its funny what you were saying about doing things and not realizing where they came from. i watched this video about 6months ago. i put the sticky stencil on a piece of wood to remove some of the stickiness. I also roll the the paint can over the stencil to flatten it. i didn't realize i learned it from watching this video. it's just something that i do now. i enjoy your work. thanks for the tips.
That's true sometimes you won't even think about the islands when your cutting it and then when you look your like ohhh shyyt that was not supposed to come off. I also didn't know they where called island. great video!!
cool stuff man! And tips on where to get a pic to use for your stencil? I want to make one of my daughters face but what's the best way to take a pic to use for your stencils?
i have to do a project for english so i was going to spray paint elie wiesel but im confused on how to choose which layers i spray on first. Can you help me or make a video explaining which layers to put down first?
At 6:08, when removing part of the glue on the wooden wall, doesnt the remaining glue stick on the painted canvas and leave a mark? Ive gotten that problem often and im a bit unsure on how to remove it without taking part of the canvas paint off.
