Tools
- Spray paint
- Oil painter's palette knife. Each artist choosing from a variety of shapes and sizes.
- Glossy magazine pages - used to remove paint in a random fashion from the canvas creating texture.
- Bowls, buckets, lids, cans or other circular objects - used as stencils for creating planets by covering a texture from paint which is applied afterwards to form a background.
- Respirator - rated for organic vapors to prevent inhalation of toxic fumes. Paper masks similar to those worn by surgeons are not sufficient and provide very little, if any, protection to the user against the many harmful chemicals in aerosol propelled paint.
- Paper towels, (sea) sponges, plastic grocery bags, straight-edge, inside-out tube socks and countless other items can be utilized to manipulate or apply the paint in a variety of ways to create different textures. Basically, any tools other than those associated with traditional oil painting (mainly brushes) are "acceptable" among puritans of this historically nontraditional medium.
