Night Waterfall

New spray painting today!

This one is similar to my Hawaiian Sunset painting, but is a night scene.
Man I will tell ya, sponges and spray paint are difficult little monsters to put together. That's possibly because of I use the crappiest, cheapest of everything. But hey, it's a poor workman who blames his tools.

Anyway. For some reason I was having difficulty getting the big shiny stars on this one. On the waterfall I tried to have a sparkle star, but I destroyed it about 4 times and had to re-do my waterfall until it became decent.

I also did this painting on the back of one of my old poster board projects from my graphic design class.....So there may or may not be a design of a man's face on the other side of this....

Using poster board.

Pro: It makes the spray paint extra shiny, so it's extra fantastic to look at.

Con: Because it's super shiny, it's extra glare prone. Making it impossible to figure out how to get a decent picture.

Someday I will put in the effort to take nice pictures of all my paintings with my nice camera, instead of my husbands iphone....

And that day will be wonderful.

Also, when painting most people will wear gloves, whether oil painting, or especially when spray painting. But not me!

Wearing gloves while painting just doesn't feel right, especially since I use my fingers for many of the textures in both mediums. Wearing gloves feels constrictive. I need to feel the paint on my fingers to know I'm doing it right.

While it is impossible to wash off my hands afterwords, I will accept the consequences!

Viva free hands!
