Hello, my creative friends! Olga Soby here, and welcome to the new fluid acrylic painting
tutorial. Today let's try something new for a color split base combination of colors.
For today's color split, I want to go for a really light turquoise and dark violet colors.
And on this color split, I want to go for a really
bright and blooming dancing flow with primarily some pinks and magentas with accents of gold,
and copper. And honestly, you can't go wrong when working with turquoise, violet, and magentas,
of course, with some gold. I think this is generally a super gorgeous color combination.
So let's see how it turns out. Working on a 16 by 16 cradled wood panel. This is going to
be a commission painting so I am super excited to get started working on it. I will include all the
color names and links to the exact color brands that I'm using in the description under this
video, so check it out if you have any questions. And without further ado let's get started.
"Vitality flow" is a secret message today. I want this flow to be really bursting with joyful energy
and let's add in those colors. So, first, I'm adding some violet, and for this violet, I have
mixed in a little bit of ultramarine in it too because I wanted to have more blue undertone. And
I'm going to use couple violets for this side of the painting. And for inspiration for this piece,
my client asked me to use these two paintings, so you can see they both have beautiful flows
with the very uprising and bursting energy so I want to recreate a similar vibe.
So this is the light turquoise, and I just mixed turquoise blue with some white color for this one.
So this is a tint of turquoise, and let's cover this piece.
This part is done, but even for my color splits I like to use, to work with a multi-color base.
So basically having more than one color in the negative space. And for my lighter part, I want to
add a couple pops of white and we're gonna blow it out. And for the violet part bit more of a lighter
violet. I think working on a multi-color base, it creates a very interesting effect. It's a lot more
dimensional this way plus the color doesn't dry so flat. So this is actually good,
just a little more white here. Let's blow out and blend in those colors.
Something to keep in mind when working with violet colors is that they dry
super dark. So it's definitely a good idea to have one lighter violet just to help colors dry
not so dark. So now on this beautiful color split, I actually already like how this looks,
so I want to create puddles of color and I'm going to add white
in the sections where I'm gonna be adding my puddles of color.
I'm gonna be adding inside of the violet.
This is a permanent magenta - another beautiful but quite transparent color,
so it's definitely amazing to work with it and white because this way it's not going to dry
too dark. And a bit of this color here, a bit of this color here.
Next is vivid pink,
having sort of a double puddle here because I want to blow out a little bit into violet
and a little bit into the tint of my turquoise. Have a lighter rose here.
Just also this is a tint of pink color.
I want to have a couple of turquoise accents but not necessary inside of my puddles
so just adding it actually outside. And this is iridescent green-blue.
It's going to look super cool when I blow it out,
and it's also going to balance out the energy of this part of my negative space with the flow.
I'm going to add a touch of iridescent pink.
Now copper.
I'm adding a continuous flow of copper because this is gonna, what's gonna connect
those blowouts together in one dancing flow.
And I'm gonna add gold right over it. I actually kind of want my copper and gold to overmix.
I think that will look very interesting. Some white on top before I blow this out.
This is such a joyful color combination. I love how those pinks
pop. I just feel like I need to add maybe a touch of this lighter pink in my first
puddle just so there's more continuous gradient of color from light to dark.
And maybe a bit more lighter pink here. That's great, so let's blow this out.
This is coming together super beautifully. I love those pops of color. I had to change
this part a little bit. Maybe I will change it even more, I don't know we'll see. But first,
I want to create the finger swipe to connect this all together, it will help me better visualize
which parts do I like, I don't like. Let's do this.
That is beautiful. How magically! It just brings everything together. I love it.
I don't really like this pink right here. I'm going to just try to blow it towards this part
and I know that's going to work but let's try.
I'm gonna try adding a few just tiny drops of rose in my negative space.
So I feel like I need to bring a little more weight to this corner.
I really love this part so I'm gonna try to keep it, but this one
maybe let's try to change it.
I think I can stop here. The painting is so moving and dynamic, especially with these elements.
Really it's like a continuous movement from this flow. I love it. The colors will dry darker and
magenta, violet, so there will be more depth. And the metallics that I used and iridescent colors
that I used they're gonna shine brightly. So let's see how it looks dry and of course, can't wait to
cover it with epoxy resin. So keep watching to see the fully finished result. I will be right back.
Hey guys, so here it is dry finished with a layer of epoxy resin. And you
can see I have removed the tape and now I have this beautiful clean wood edge.
And I love it. So, this painting definitely has this very happy inspiring vitality flow energy,
so totally got that vibe. And I think that this color combination for my color split, the light
turquoise, and darker stronger violet creates a super authentic combo together. Because all these
parts in my blue, in my light turquoise they're very soft, they're very silk-like. Especially,
like this section right here, it's small but it's perfect. And in my violet, all these parts,
they're more vibrant more strong and that creates a lot of contrast in this
painting. And by the way, for my violet, I am so glad that I used multiple violets because
one dry darker one little lighter, and this little difference - it really adds a lot of dimension
depth and I think it just looks a lot more interesting. But of course, the most striking,
vibrant, catchy part of this painting is all the metallics. I used some gold and copper for this
one, and they make such good focal points. And because they are located along with my dancing
flow, they really help to emphasize this uprising movement in the composition. So very happy with
the outcome. And now this beauty is ready to fly to her new home. Please let me know how do you
like the outcome. I really hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Did you like this combination for color
split? And let me know would you like to see more interesting color combination for the color split?
