HOW to SPRAY PAINT CLOUDS and WATER - BEGINNERS TUTORIAL

[@WoodRocksArt]

I like finger water and ripped clouds, nice work again 👍 I have to try these too... Thank you.

[@JonBarberArt]

Hi Riku, Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, and the feedback I really appreciate it :) Cool, i like using them all it just depends on what look i want in a painting :)

[@sallymccornack2800]

For me it’s the ripped and the card water. Just love them xx

[@JonBarberArt]

Hi Sally, I enjoy using all of them, it all depends what effect i want to which one i choose to use :) :)

[@davidshepherd9158]

Sally McCornack I like them all. But both the ripped, and card stock seem to be what I’m going for most. It’s very vibrant, and thats what I’m trying to go for.

[@davidshepherd9158]

Jon Barber Art Thank you for The tips

[@jaiknight6130]

I enjoyed the ripped card effect as well, it looks softer, like more distant.

[@waynelagasse9914]

I like the ripped clouds along with the card dragged to make the water. I think with the water the dragging affect with the white shoes more white shading the way water looks. Love your videos!

[@JonBarberArt]

Hi Wayne, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment and feedback i really appreciate it :) I like using them all just depends which effect i want in the painting to which one i use :)

How many years have you been spray painting? Seems like so many techniques and overall knowledge?

[@JonBarberArt]

I'm self taught and have been doing spray paint art for just over 2 years now, i really enjoy it i only wish i had started doing it years before tho :)

[@waynelagasse9914]

Cracking as per Jon. Both clouds were spot on but I did prefer the card technique to do the water. Gonna try it on my next one. Cheers again for the great videos man.

Clouds were pretty equal. I may try combining both techniques on water. Thanks!

[@tonymart7613]

Great tutorial Jon, I think there is a right time for both styles of making water.... depends on what effect you want for the painting. I use both card and fingers. I think the card effect shows waves better. As for the clouds both work great

[@JonBarberArt]

Thank you so much for the comment and feedback Tony its much appreciated :) , yes there is a time , depends what look you want , i did the tutorial like this because i wanted to show people different effects/ways of doing the clouds and water , yes i have used both ways for the clouds they both work great depending what look you want , plus if you wanted you could use both together and would still work good :)

[@justasmr6624]

I like the water idea on the left but I think the ripped clouds are less ridged than the their ones, therefore more soothing. It does really depend on what you are going for though

Great work like both sides I want to try doing a beach theme in wood and suggestions and what brand paints do you use thanks

[@JonBarberArt]

Hi Floridatom58, Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment, feedback and question i really appreciate it :) If you are going to paint on wood then you may need to prep it before spray painting it to stop the wood soaking in the paint. The brand of spray paint i use is Montana, hope this helps :)

[@floridatom58]

@@JonBarberArt this is my first attempt so what do you surest I use to stop the paint from soaking into the wood thank you for any and all the help

[@JonBarberArt]

Hi floridatom58, No problem , happy to help, What i would do first is rub the wood down with sandpaper to take all the rough parts out , then either give it a couple of coats of base colour like black or white or what ever colour you are going to use the most in the painting or you could put a couple of coats of clear coat on it to seal it , but then i would leave it 24 hours for it to dry before starting to paint on it hope this helps :)

[@Johnnyjawbone]

Excellent tutorial. I think the clouds look better possibly on the left, and the water shimmering reflections looking better on the right. My only constructive input is for the cloud edges to look softer, and the water shimmer to have larger vertical spaces per horizontal stagger nearer the view, the further out the water being the more dense (as shown). Question, how would you go about spray painting water spray from a water riot cannon? You know, how that powerful stream of water looks, but on the outer edges it would be more like a garden sprinkler? As in two forms of water spray - riot cannon, and softer around it as it disperses.

[@JonBarberArt]

Hi Johnny, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, feedback, suggestions and question I really appreciate it :) I've never gave it a thought till now but i would most probably spray a white line in the middle as the water is more dense in the centre has it comes out, and as it gets further away from the cannon i would start to mist it out as the water is more apart then, i would also mist the top and bottom of the line but not all the way back to the cannon tho, i would leave a tiny gap with just a white line as it comes out of the cannon, hope this makes sense :)

[@travelgaz3867]

Love it John....why the transparent blue?..

[@JonBarberArt]

Hi Gareth, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment, feedback and question i really appreciate it :) The transparent blue was used to add a bit of colour back in to the clouds and give them some layers so they were not all white also you don't get as much over spray from a transparent paint as you would from a normal colour. hope this helps :)

[@EricASmith_B.P.]

I like the torn clouds they look more natural . Have you ever taken and after you’ve torn the card then burn the edges slightly with a torch ? I believe it makes for an even more natural look . I like the fingers for this pic . I suppose if it were a lake scene with a windy setting the caes wisp back and forth would be better in that situation . Just my two cents love your work !!

[@JonBarberArt]

Hi Erik, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, feedback and the suggestion I really appreciate it :) No i have never brunt the edges, but may have to give it a go and see what it's like tho :) Yes i like them all, but like you said depends what painting you are doing :) It's also nice to hear you love my art work :)

Did you just lightly mist with the White to get the clouds? Also, how did you avoid the paint build up and drip?

[@JonBarberArt]

Hi Tammy, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment and question I really appreciate it :) Yes i press the cap a bit lighter when doing the clouds, I don't really get any drips from the cloud stencils as the way they are made the over spray sits on the top of them and doesn't run any where hope this helps :)

[@triplemoon69]

do you still use montana white spray cans ---what is the difference between the synthetic paint to the regular spray paint?

[@JonBarberArt]

Hi Laura, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment and question I really appreciate it :) Yes i still use montana white when i do my tutorials :) The difference between the white and the gold is that the white is high pressure and is a gloss finish and is a thinner paint and is cheaper but can still work really well when doing spray paint art, The gold is low pressure has a semi-gloss finish, it's a thicker paint, it drys faster but cost a bit more. To be honest i like using them both but i use the gold more has there's a lot more choice of colours in that range then the white. hope this helps :)

[@julianmathiasroder]

I love your tutorials, which are really helpful! Quick questions: What kind of caps do you use? I noticed that they spray less and more narrow. And what type of Montana cans white do you use? I hope you see this and thanks in advance for your help!

I am doing spray painting currently, and whenever I try to do a lake / river etc., using my fingers, it all blends into one colour and doesn’t really look nice. Is there a reason why it is doing this or is it me? I am using acrylic, so that could be it. Love your work by the way, forgot to mention.

[@JonBarberArt]

Hi Frosty, Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment, feedback and question i really appreciate it :) I used acrylic base spray paint for this tutorial, you may be putting to much paint down so when you move your fingers across it all mixes up to much, try using less paint and when you rub your fingers across go from side to side and only go over the same area once. hope this helps :)

Hi Hazel, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment i really appreciate it :) i think it's down to just doing it over time and getting use to doing it :)

[@hazzze15]

Whenever I try to make the water, all of my paints just mix into one color... I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong :(

[@hazzze15]

Any ideas why?

[@JonBarberArt]

Hi Hazel, It all depends how you put the paint down and what technique you use to make the water. one way you can do it is start with the darkest colours on each side and then put a light colour next to them and then a lighter colour and so on till both sides meet in the middle then spray a white line in the middle then use your finger to and move across the paint to mix the colours together a bit , it's a bit hard to explain when writing it , but i have done a video tutorial where i show two ways of making water the link to that is kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHOzf4tvpqmUfsU maybe this will help more as you can see me doing it.
