Spraypaint Art

[Patrick Long]

Pat, that second attempt looks great! Both of them look better than the two I tried.

Thanx brudda!

Pat you have great talent! Now, not being able to view youtube at the moment... what is the deal behind space scapes? Is it just spray paint art, or is there something more to it?

Its just art. LOL! I just think that they look really crazy, and some of them are actually very very real looking.

Very nice Pat! I had no idea you were an artist.

I've been to Venice Beach and was mesmerized by the guy making them. Of course we bought one for our daughter but I have no idea what she did with it.

Connie, the guy I watched do it used only layers and layers of spray paint and cardboard to block areas and make smudges. No brushes or fancy art tools. They take only a few minutes to produce but look like they took days.

Yeah, no art tools used. I used

1. Spraypaint
2. Magazine Pages
3. Paint can Cap
4. Planter bottom

The cap and planter bottom were used to get the perfect circular shapes, the magazine pages are what you use to take off layers of paint to give that "random" effect.

For instance on the second painting, the largest planet in the middle started with, in this order, black white yellow white red black. I then Lay the magazine pages (shiny ones) on top then press down in spots that i want more lifted, then remove the piece of paper. Put the cap down badda bing badda boom!
