Class Activity Details
Step 1: Things to prepare to use a toothbrush for spray painting:
- Take the paint and dip the tooth brush in it.
- Press the bristles of the brush with your thumb and take it in a backward direction.
- Holding the brush near to the surface will get the thicker dots and cover the smaller area whereas holding it far will cover large area with small dots.
Step 1: Put a stencil or tape on the desired surface and area. Either you can randomly spray paint on the surface or you can use a stencil work too. In addition to both the cases you can also first draw a design of your own on the canvas and put the tape over the area you don’t want the spray work to be showed. Clean the edges and soft corners with a help of a craft knife for the desired shape of the tape that is put.
Step 2: Aim it at the paper and you will get the texture like the one in the sheet. You can also use tw
o or three colors together.
Step 3: Once you’re done with the spray work. Remove the stencil/tape and enjoy the design you have made.
