PAINT AND COLOR CHOICE: Ultra Green or Ultra Blue Glow in the Dark paint.
WHY: These paints are bright during first hour and continue to glow all night. If painted with a light texture with consistency, they are almost invisible during the day.
COST-EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE: Economy Green Glow in the Dark paint.
It stays bright for 15 minutes and has a total glow time of about two hours.
HELPFUL HAND: It is suggested that in order to get yourself into the flow of the art, practice with inexpensive standard paint several times before using the actual paint.
PAINT QUANTITY: In general, it is suggested that you use half pint for an advance star scene. You may enhance it with half fl.oz bottles of contrasting colors.
Already geared up to explore the art? Here’s how you can create them:
STARS: Pick a brush with synthetic bristles; bend the bristles away from the center at 90 degree angles. Squash the brush straight down onto the surface you intend to paint, lift the brush straight up. This leaves a very realistic star pattern.
COMETS: Start with the same technique as above. Instead of lifting the brush, drag it along the surface releasing pressure as you go. This will create a star head with a following trail.
GALAXIES: Use sponge to apply dense pattern of dots to create galaxies.
METEORS: To create meteors, use circular shaped sponge. The best meteors use more than one color of glow in the dark paint. For the multi-colored effect, apply the color that is brightest, first. Let it dry fully. Now apply the second color and lightly stamp it over the first.
Some Final Words of Advice:
- Use Stencils for adding a professional touch. Coat the back of the stencil with stencil glue and allow it to dry. Apply several stencils to the ceiling in various positions. Roll the brush over the stencils. Let the paint dry off. This allows you to add extra layers if needed.
- Use a toy planetarium projector (available at most large toy stores) for creating a technically correct constellation. In this way, you can choose the night skies of different seasons.
- Last but not the least, it is always advisable to seal your work and give it the professional protection for years by using a sealer spray paint which can be easily available in almost any store.
So, why wait? Indulge yourself in this very absorbing and interesting hobby. The World, The Universe, The Stars, The Galaxies are knocking your door to be received with open arms. Welcome them!
