One of the best tutorials I've seen. Never been happier for RUclips to recommend a video I saved in an art tutorial playlist ages ago. Inspired me to do some spray paint art again
Super 👍🏻 Question comme je ne comprend pas l’anglais 😏 Pour faire les bâtiments je vois que vous mettez du spray c’est du vernis ? Pourriez-vous me répondre en français si vous le pouvez ? Merci beaucoup 🙏
this is amazing! I just did my first spray art tonight and I'm trying to learn the tricks of the trade. do you use regular spray paint or glossy? thanks!
thanks 4 not using the respirator for this vid. Others use them for tutorials & I don't know what the hell they're saying, lol. Nothing wrong with not using it for a 15 min video, but it helps the viewer
If you going to prime it first, Use spray paint and Try your best to do an even job making it as smooth as possible. Using Gesso (although awesome on standard Canvas) leaves a bit of texture which could be good if thats what your going for but most times, you want a glossy smooth finish
CraySpray I tried painting over gesso and it did work pretty well, but I started painting on shiny Bristol paper instead and I noticed that when it's on a primed surface the colors aren't as bright as they are when I used the Bristol paper. Thanks for replying!!
how do you keep the poster board from moving? i attempted to make a simple skyline earlier today, but i kept dragging the whole thing. should i use more clear coat so that the scraper will slide?
Don't over use clear coat, it will over saturate the paint and make it looks ugly. Use either double sided tape on the back corners of the poster board or tape that's been rolled up so its sticky on both sides
honestly, Rustoleum is the best for the price. You can spring the extra 4 dollars and get MTN hard core or gold but that will run you anywhere between $7 - $15 per can.
if you are having a lot of excess paint, work on not spraying as much onto the paper. Also, the harder you press down, the more the color below it will shine through so if there is a lot of paint on the top layer, it becomes very hard to work with
Hey dude I've got an art exam in the morning and I'm using this as a technique in my final piece but every time I seem to do this it seems to leave excess paint after I scrape it to reveal the building ,any tips on how to fix this?i would gladly appreciate it bro!
excess paint will always be there but you should have a lot if you are only doing a couple of buildings. spray a less on the top coat of paint and that should take care of it.
CraySpray okay thankyou so much man I'll keep that in mind in future. I did it today and used a lot of skills learnt by your videos thankyou so much man there soo helpful you are the only person on RUclips to give detailed tutorials on this subject!well earned sub!
hi I am 17 and like to try and do some spray paint art but none of my pieces are shiny or glicining like the ones in video am I using the wrong kind of spray paint or wrong type of paper , can you suggest me some type of paper to work with
make sure the paint you us is high gloss paint and the poster board is on the glossy side, not the flat Non-Glossy side. If you mixed flat or semi-gloss paint in with high gloss paint, you will get weird results. Let me know if that helps!
you can! just spray a little more paint than usual but it would have the same affect. Only think is if you push down too hard, it will show the texture of the canvas in the buildings.
I bought it at home depot www.homedepot.com/p/Warner-23-in-Paint-Guide-and-Wallcovering-Tool-2735/205052402?cm_mmc=Shopping%7cTHD%7cG%7c0%7cG-BASE-PLA-D24-Paint%7c&gclid=Cj0KEQjw_eu8BRDC-YLHusmTmMEBEiQArW6c-H1EhrKvUoKi3r7UadOMnsjyjefculHo-8i2yteDaZEaAmCE8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds
ummm Not super hard because you don't want to scrap all the paint off. Use a medium amount of pressure and go from there more or less. Its one of those things where u have to practice to know how hard to press. One thing you can try is spraying the colors and drying them before you spray the black.
my tip - use the respirator ! , if you obviously cant narrate the video while doing - record it after and track it to the video in post production !. its not that hard with a basic video editor. safety first - not trolling .
WEAR your dang mask❗💜..unless you want frickin aerosol paint cobwebs in your lungs..do ya know how to scrape a tombstone❓..it'll be yours😱..come on, maskup and do voice over later..stay safe 🇺🇸❣

Super 👍🏻
Question comme je ne comprend pas l’anglais 😏
Pour faire les bâtiments je vois que vous mettez du spray c’est du vernis ?
Pourriez-vous me répondre en français si vous le pouvez ? Merci beaucoup 🙏
Thanks for the vid! How did you touch the straight edge to the paint without it messing up? Mine always messes up if I touch the page. Thanx!
don't put to much pressure. slightly tilt the straight edge to the direction you are dragging it
this is amazing! I just did my first spray art tonight and I'm trying to learn the tricks of the trade. do you use regular spray paint or glossy? thanks!
glossy is all i use. Mat finishes dont really look right when they dry with this kind of ART but sometimes it works
thank you! that's what I figured :)
What do you use for a straight edge?
tenkyuo🌹
Thanks so much
This vid was super helpful
thanks for the good vibes :)
Ur welcome
😄😄😄

If I were to use a blank masonite as my canvas would you suggest gesso-priming or priming with spray paint?
If you going to prime it first, Use spray paint and Try your best to do an even job making it as smooth as possible. Using Gesso (although awesome on standard Canvas) leaves a bit of texture which could be good if thats what your going for but most times, you want a glossy smooth finish

Don't over use clear coat, it will over saturate the paint and make it looks ugly. Use either double sided tape on the back corners of the poster board or tape that's been rolled up so its sticky on both sides
Yeah, kind of figured that out the hard way with the clear coat lol. Will definitely use tape next time!
You might be pushing too hard
Looking at buying new spray paints , which is best ????
honestly, Rustoleum is the best for the price. You can spring the extra 4 dollars and get MTN hard core or gold but that will run you anywhere between $7 - $15 per can.
What is the name of the too you use when you are making the buildings? plsss reply thank you
just a normal paint scrapper :)
Question, how much pressure that needs to scrape the paint? I'm always ending with A LOT of excess paint :/
if you are having a lot of excess paint, work on not spraying as much onto the paper. Also, the harder you press down, the more the color below it will shine through so if there is a lot of paint on the top layer, it becomes very hard to work with

Hey man, I like your video. What paper do you use
regular poster you got at walmart, use the glossy side
also, if you paint on canvases, how do you not puncture the canvas with the straight edge? thanks!
the canvas is pretty think. I wouldn't worry about puncturing it. Use the same amount of pressure as you would a poster board
perfecto. thanks!!

Can this process work on wood?
Can I use an illustration board as a canvas
the only issue i could see is the paint not drying like it should because of the surface but other than that, i don't see why not :)
Awesome tutorial bro. Cheers! 1+ sub from me! :D
what is the thing called you used for spraying the water under the bridge?
a straight edge
Leonie Württemberger
You can buy it at Home Depot, Lowes, etc.
It's a drywall tool, used for smoothing the mud when doing sheet rock work.
Will all this work on wood? Or does it have to be on paper?
the wood would have to be very smooth for it to look correct. also, put a sealer on it before hand so the paint doesnt soak in the wood.
How do you call those that you use to make buildings.
Like this . . "Those are Buildings! :)"
CraySpray what do you use for clear coat?
the crystal clear from rusto
what is that spray in 4.30? i could not hear it clearly
he said it was rustoleum
yyaaaaa oklahoma
Could I do this on a canvas?
you can! just spray a little more paint than usual but it would have the same affect. Only think is if you push down too hard, it will show the texture of the canvas in the buildings.
where do I buy the straight edge

Can u paint outside with 65 degree weather
yeah thats perfect. Just cant be super cold or hot
how hard do you press?
ummm Not super hard because you don't want to scrap all the paint off. Use a medium amount of pressure and go from there more or less. Its one of those things where u have to practice to know how hard to press. One thing you can try is spraying the colors and drying them before you spray the black.
my tip - use the respirator ! , if you obviously cant narrate the video while doing - record it after and track it to the video in post production !. its not that hard with a basic video editor. safety first - not trolling .
