This seems like a good place to leave all kinds of lessons you have learned while attending the school of hard knocks here at spacepaintings.com Any tips or tricks that you have learned should be shared here.
Tip one-Don't try to create terrain by sliding your hand across magazine paper with latex gloves on. The gloves won't slide across the paper like your hand will.
Tip two-Don't attempt to use fire to speed drying on a painting that you have redone some sections in. The heavier the paint layer the longer the fires will burn on their own, thus leaving bubbles and possible scorching.
Tip three-You MUST wait for stencil backgrounds to be fully dry before applying the stencil. I know that I have tried to do stencils without knowing this and I nearly ruined the stencil. Wait a good 30 minutes or until the paint is no longer tacky.
Tip four-When spraying onto spare posterboard, if it be for clouds or domes or moons or what-have-you, look at where you want to spray on the board, not at the overspray area, then you are more acurate and more likely to achieve the look you desired.
