So as you may know, I have taken a recent interest in Spray Paint Art. The thing with spray painting is that you need space. Not only in terms of the area around your work but also the actual medium that you work on. I tried it on A4 paper the first time but found it quite constraining so when I saw that my desk was nearing the end of its life, I thought this could be a great place to work on.
I have been waiting to try it out over the past few days after my new spray cans arrived in the post but the unpredictable weather meant it was only today, after it had already rained that I decided to give it a shot. After an hour and a bit, I came up with this:
Until Next Time,
(Or the next time I find a desk)

Well thank you! Haha there’s actually a really neat and easy trick to making it. If you search on YouTube, you’ll see artists using magazine sheets to create such things.
Thank you for your lovely comment and encouragement π

Haha I shall! π As long as the rain stays away and I can carry on using my garden as a work space. Its the first time I am grateful that my garden isn’t fixed up properly else I wouldn’t be allowed to spray paint in it!

What kind of paper did you use to paint over?, because as far as I know spray painting is difficult in simple A4 sheet paper as you cannot get those kind of effects.

Yup simple A4 paper would not work. This piece is actually my aged desk so as the top was smooth, it worked brilliantly. I have tried it on glossy paper too and that works extremely well. I’m hoping to also try it on masonite or any other type of scarp board that I can get my hands on! The key I think is for the surface to be impermeable.

Yeah!! True that. Good luck for the future pieces of art π
