Spray Paint Art

I overheard some of my classmates talking about this awesome YouTube video that featured artists who work in strictly spray paint to create some magnificent pieces of art. After watching them stare blankly at the screen in awe for minutes on end, I decided I should have a look for myself. The artists use various layers of paint, and with the help of household items such as pots and sheets, can create the shapes they want for the piece. They use pieces of paper or cardboard as screens to prevent paint front getting all over the work, and to give lines a sharp edge. What was also interesting to me was they would use brilliant pops of orange and then cover it all in a navy or black. There is a method to the madness of course, as the artist then proceeds to use a ball of crumpled up newspaper to smear all the paint giving it a marbled texture. I posted the video for you to have a better look. Prepare to be amazed!
