The Best Spray Paint Art Techniques: Trees and Leaves

How to make trees and leaves with spray paint art!
In this video I elaborate on one of the basic lessons from my tools and techniques video and show you a more in depth approach to create trees and leaves with spray paint.
I cover how to make curvy, sensual trees that flow, tall, straight trunked trees that look like red woods or pine trees, and how to make thick branchy looking trees. On top of that, I add leaves and bushes and discuss a variety of options for colors and the importance of using colors to create depth and interest in your painting.

@@AshSchultzArtcool, couldn’t get those napkins to work for me, but I haven’t tried bounty ones, do they really make a big difference?

[@arnoldchildress8053]

Great job dude you know your stuff

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

I have done acrylic on canvas but what kind of paper should I use to try this spray paint art ? Can I get it at hobby Lobby or Walmart ?

[@AshSchultzArt]

Idk if you found your answer yet, but you want coated paper, like poster board, where one side is glossy? Spray paint will absorb into regular paper or non coated surfaces

Outstanding again!! Whats the difference in working with acrylic vs enamel?

[@jeremiahbledsoe3433]

First off that's awesome thanks for the tips and how to use the tools and explain how to use it. That's great I love the fact you tell how to do it other then watching band trying to figure out how to use it. I do have a question. The little brush you use for leaves and bushes what is it where do you buy it from?

[@jamesemberton9661]

🔥🔥🖤🖤🖤

[@KeithElphick]

Two things: What spray head sizes do you use and recommend.....and what type of “top coat” are you using....as it seems to be really expensive here in Australia. Love your work by the way.

[@AshSchultzArt]

I’m not too picky about the size heads. Some of my cans I brought with me from Vegas where they have the old standard radial spray tips like yours still find on hairspray and stuff, others are the fatter ones that are more typical of spray paint today. I try to avoid the fan tips though. For the top coat I always do a high gloss/gloss finish. It just makes the colors pop more, and usually it’s krylon or rusto for that

[@triplemoon69]

What are you spraying on it to get it to where you can scrape the paint off

[@alecweise6965]

its called clear coat

[@PETERILLUSION]

Hi, what tool do you use to get bushes?

[@AshSchultzArt]

I cover that in my basic video. I use napkins to make a “brush” of sorts

[@Jose-kq5ku]

For bushes, what you use, is a piece of paper?

[@AshSchultzArt]

It’s folded up napkin. Check out my basics video, I cover it there

Does Montana water based paint work good???

[@AshSchultzArt]

I haven’t experimented with them much to be honest, but I do want to play around with the water based stuff and see how it works

[@bizamotivation]

❤❤❤

[@flortwenty]

Is it possible to have the same result on wood 👀

[@AshSchultzArt]

Yes, for the most part, BUT it’s if the wood is sealed really good so it’s not porous and it would be best to make sure it’s nice and smooth. You could get away with the bushes and basic spraying, but making the texture is where you’ll want it sealed so the paint dormant soak into the wood

[@PlayingWithWilson]

Thanks for the tutorial mate, I was using toilet paper to do leaves no shit hahaha.

[@AshSchultzArt]

Lol we all start somewhere, hopefully this works out better for you

[@doughanson4146]

What are you using for your shrubs and leaves ?

[@AshSchultzArt]

I use bounty napkins, folded up into a square and then I tear out a half circular shape. I believe I cover that in another video

[@Djraven831]

Was the thing for the leaves just a cotton ball?

[@AshSchultzArt]

No, bounty napkin, folded up and torn into shape. I make mention of it in my basics tutorial 🖖🏻

[@poproxx8467]

They're basic techniques, but the work can still be appreciated. I just saw this shared in a group. Generally I just avoid tutorials and stick to self teaching.

[@AshSchultzArt]

They’re just meant to be the basics. I promise I learned more working with other artists than just figuring things out on my own. You can’t put a price on learning from other people’s experience.

[@poproxx8467]

@@AshSchultzArt While your personal preference is respected. I can still learn more without relying on other sources. It's just a matter of imagination and will power. Each path is infinite. It just depends on how far the individual realizes it can go. Personally, I figured out how to work with techniques and ideas that can't be found on KZbin or other sources. Just thought experiments being visualized and tested with infinite combinations and refining of techniques, while adding more techniques. Take the raw imagined concepts, then try to convert them into techniques which depicted the raw imagined concepts in the mind best.
