Have you ever watched a how-to video on YouTube and thought "Yeah, I could do that" and then forgotten about it? Me, too. All the time. I recently watched one on spray paint art and decided to give it a try. The first five attempts were a disaster. Fortunately, it was only inexpensive spray paint and poster board. I'd never painted before, but after a short learning curve and a pile of mistakes, everything clicked. I suddenly had a feel for how the paint flowed and the textures it could produce. My first success was the ice planet you see below. I was stunned. How was this possible? It just goes to show that trying new things and persevering can yield good results. I plan to paint more planets, especially ones that glow-in-the-dark. Now go out there and make something!
