Painting Waterfalls With Spray Paint Art

If you are want to paint a waterfall with spray paint art, I’ll explain a little bit about it here. There are many different techniques that you can use for painting numerous scenes with spray can and paper. You can apply several layers of paint first and then drag the paint around with a newspaper. You can put some paint onto some newspaper or poster board and then drag it around on top of some dryer paint or some combination of the two. You can use the spray from the can itself to create the beautiful spray of water just by spraying a fine white spray in those areas where you want your waterfall to disappear into the mist.

I’ll show you one of those techniques here, the one where you apply several layers of paint and then drag the paint around with a sheet of newspaper. Painting waterfalls has never been so easy or fun as with this delicious technique. The results are so beautiful and are impossible to achieve with a brush. A newspaper doesn’t have bristles so it creates a flawless smooth look that people cannot figure out how it was done.
