Spray paint art

This is a quick post that is unrelated to weight loss, fitness, or nutrition.  It’s about one of my hobbies.  Painting.

I’ve dabbled in both watercolors and oils.  I like oils for the way the finished product results, unless I’m the one doing the painting, in which case it just looks muddy and fairly unimpressive.  I like doing watercolors for the ease of clean up and forgiving quality of the medium, but my pictures never quite have the depth that I want.  I can picture what I want, and with some gauche watercolors, I’ve been able to almost achieve the look that I want, but not quite.

This isn’t a post saying I’ve given up these two mediums.  In fact, I plan to continue painting in them for some time.

This is a post saying I have found a new medium, and I am extremely excited about it.

It isn’t acrylics.

It isn’t pastels.

It’s spray paint.

Seriously.  Recently, I saw an artist take cans of spray paint and in a matter of literally minutes make a beautiful, awe inspiring work of art.  Best yet, the painting was of a space nature, which if the name of my website hasn’t already given you the hint, I love.  I’m fascinated by astronomy, and that is one “landscape” of painting that I haven’t approached yet.

Spray painting will allow me to do that.  I’ve been putting off actually getting started, because any time you start a new hobby like this, there is a financial start up fee.  Spray paint isn’t always cheap.  However, this weekend, I decided to go for it.

I’m pretty sure I still suck, but like with any new talent, practice will make me better.  I’ve only sold a few watercolors, but I must admit, I really look forward to getting good enough at spray painting that I can actually sell my art.
