![]() Keep spraying and flicking across the canvas until you think that you have enough stars. If you start too close or end up flicking too lightly, the paint will form larger clumps Then, aim your fingers at the painting, about a foot away from the canvas and flick, HARD, the paint should splatter across the painting to look like little stars. Spray a bit of paint on the tips of your index finer and your middle finger so that its a little liquidy. Put on one of the latex gloves that you've gathered for the project and get a can of white spray paint. ![]() When the black has dried, then it's star time. ![]() If you won't want any fancy details besides stars, you can just paint the entire background black If you want to have a brighter portion or a nebula, you can take something like a blue or an orange and substitute it for the black in that area. Now that your paints have dried up and you've DEFINITELY covered your planets, grab a can of black spray paint and put a generous coat across the rest of the canvas. When your planet dries, use your circle template and cover the planet back up so it doesn't get ruined by overspray If the effect isn't to your liking, you can do a few more peels, or you can wait a few minutes and recoat the planet for another attempt. Or just laying it down flat or crumpling it can give a random, cool effect.Īfter placing the magazine paper down on your paint, you'll want to smooth it down so that it absorbs enough paint, then pull it up and you should have your desired effect. Making folds while rotating the page can give you a starburst effect. The goal is that a lot of the excess wet paint that's layered, will adhere to the magazine when you put it on the paint, and, when you pull it up, you'll get cool splotches and areas of mixed paint that give the planet a more natural look.ĭepending on the kind of pattern you'll want on your planet, you can fold or crumple the magazine in different ways to get different effects.įolding if longways a couple of times can get rows of color. You'll want to rip one of the pages of your magazine, it shouldn't be just paper, but have that laminated sheen that makes it shine when light hits it. Now this is the stage where the magazine comes in. Now, you should have a total of 3-4 colors on your planet, and we can go on to getting the fine details.Īlso, as a side note, make sure when spraying to go outside of the circle that you marked so that when you do the finer details, you can select from multiple areas to decide what works best for your planet style. Now, your circle should look like a spray paint sandwich.įor extra detail, I recommend taking a can of white spray paint and putting a few dabs of it on the side of the circle closest to your light source. Then, take your light coat and cover the remaining circle, along with a big portion of the middle. ![]() You'll want to make sure that the middle tone covers part of the dark tone, but we'll get to why in the next step. Then, take your next color, the middle tone, and spray it over a majority of the circle. You should aim to color about one third to one fourth of the circle with this color. When you've decided where your planets are going to face, start with your darkest color and paint a generous coat in a c shape along the backside of the planet. When doing the painting process, more is always better.
