Spray paint art started as an accepted form in New Mexico, but its influence now covers the globe. Landscapes are among the common themes of spray paint art, and you can use them to express yourself with real life portrayals or surrealistic depictions.
Instructions
1. Paint your sky or background first. Make sure that you have completely covered the areas of the canvas that might be seen through your mountains with spray paint. You can't go back and fix missed areas later.
2. Tear a ragged edge onto your card stock or newspaper. This tear will form the silhouette of your mountains. If you want your mountains to appear layered, then you can tear multiple shapes of varying height into the card stock, or even use multiple sheets of card stock.
3. Place the card stock which contains the mountain shapes you wish to appear farthest away against your background. Mountains in a night scene will appear almost black, while during a daylight landscape they will be a somewhat hazy blue-green color.
4. Use the mountain stencil to spray on darker and lighter ridges to give your mountains a 3D effect. Use the ragas and newspaper to add more depth to your mountains. Use the original mountain stencil to spray snow on the tops of your mountains. You can carefully bleed this snow down the ridges of your mountains.
5. Set the second stencil, containing the torn layout of the nearer landscape against your mountains. Use greens, browns, blues, and yellows to spray in the rolling hills, or canyons which your stencil creates.
6. Add any additional detail to the image that you want. Then let the painting dry for just a few minutes. Thoroughly coat the image with clear coat enamel spray paint.
