whats the material you're spraying on top of? I'm just wondering cause I'm new and very interested in this kind of art and I think normal paper would obviously be wrong to use cause its too thin, or not I might be wrong haha but anyway oh I have one more question how expensive are the cans of paint you usually buy? just so that I have some reference. Thanks!
@Hardboi01 He is spraying on glossy paper. And spray cans are usually around $4-8. The cheapest from my experience are from Walmart. But there are cheaper places to go(:
When you said you never go with over spray and that's how you keep it glossy what did you mean? I wasn't very sure. And when you make the waterfall Is the flat side always touching but touching very lightly? Thanks!
@levisarts what brand of paint would you recomend? i got blue and green cans of montanna, and 2 other cheap ass 1s and made a balls of my first attempt didnt have glossy paper or clear gloss.
When using stencils for the paintings I have heard of several different options for the materials to use (which would you recommend): heavy stock matte finish photo paper, vellum paper (parchment), card stock, plastic/acrylic, Grafix Dura-Lar/ Dura-Lar Matte, clear transparencies, manila folders, Bee Paper Stencil Oil Board, or plastic presentation/report covers?
Your suggestions on their use would be greatly appreciated.
@beanieboy007 It really depends on what your are stenciling. And all of the for mentioned items will work well. But for cost I would say vinal works well and can be bought pretty much anywhere for about a dollar per yard. It is easy to cut with an X-acto knife and can be used multiple times. Any mi-lar masking films will cost a little bit, but they are very good for fine art applications.
@beanieboy007 Also do note that if you need to secure vinal or poster paper to a surface, a low-tack spray adhesive works very well. Adhesives are easy to get as well. Just make sure to use a low tack and let it dry for a few minutes before attaching it to the artwork you are working on.
Thanks for the tutorial, I've asked others how to do these things, rings and such and no one will answer. Thank you again for this informative video. BTW, I did subscribe. = D
hey, nice to see another vid Levi :) One question though, when you were holding the scraper below your mountain range/rocks, were you letting that scraper touch the art? or were you just holding it close to it?
it seems like you might get a line if you press down too hard with it to get that straight edge.
I was letting it touch the painting. long as you do not move much you will not get a line...You don't want to press hard just lay it on the painting and make sure you don't move you're hand to much.
LOL sorry about the sound some where i lost my favorite microphone so i had to use a cheapy.. Even with the boost all the way up it was still very low...
its kool, i had to use headphones but still visually i can see how you get it done, thats all that matters to me when learning knew stuff, im definitely gunna make a nice video for you my good friend ^_^ !
oh... my... god.... your a fucking legend! x

Good job man. You should make these more often, I think you'd get a good following going.
Good highlights on the rocks by the way, you do that by pressing harder with your fingertip? Haven't seen that done so efficiently before!
