hello everyone welcome back to my art Channel! thank you for being here. my name is Molly and
I'm an artist here in South Florida. I'm going to be doing back to my Dream Cloud Series tonight,
but I am going to add in some Deco art 24 karat gold. now this is a totally different mixture than
my other mixtures that I use. so there is satin enamel in the white there's only floetrol in all
of the colors and there's just floetrol in the 24 karat gold mixture. so I'm using these two
along with my regular acrylic colors and the floetrol now this is a small canvas for quite
large buckets of paint so I'm gonna have to remind myself to be judicious with the amount
that I put on the canvas. but I wanted to test it out small to see how the 24 karat gold Pearl cells
would react and then I can go a little bit larger I've been having so much fun with this technique
but they take a large amount of drying space for the big ones and they have to be perfectly
level so I have one specific drying area that I use for them if they're not level they come
out like that painting which is the result of me tilting a lot and I think I'm gonna do try that
again as well but when you take Pearl cells and you tilt them a lot you get that type of effect
so I am going to start I think I'm using bright colors yellows turquoise magenta my
24 karat gold a little bit of copper and white so I'm excited to see how this one turns out
let's paint all right so I'm gonna start this one out with I feel like just some puddles
all around of the white but I'm also going to puddle around the edges the gold the 24 karat gold
so I think that is plenty of white
and I'm hoping these are about the same consider consistency
and I'm interested to see how this works in a swipe
okay that's plenty there
all right what color do I want to go next I think I'm going to do my magenta
in just these little pops
one corner of magenta there
and maybe one little set in here
okay that is out of the way
I think I will just I'm not going to do too much of this other color because I don't want it to
be all metallic now this is not a DecoArt color this is a creative inspirations color
yeah I think that's about it honestly way
all right oh I can see that Deco art bleeding into the other colors it's really pretty
I'm just kind of filling in my holes because I didn't paint this canvas beforehand this is
a dry canvas so I want to make sure that I have enough paint to cover it all and
to stretch it out to the design that I like so here's my last color my yellow
and I'm just filling in the center I'm not as worried about the edges
well I do wish I'd had a little bit of yellow over here just for composition
all right I think that is good let me grab my palette knife and give this a good torch
foreign
to see how this one's gonna come out
okay so with the dream Cloud series you want to swipe the Colors Over the white but I'm interested
to see how the the first thing I'm going to do I'm interested to see how the 24 karat gold if I swipe
that over the white because they are a similar composition chemical composition I may not get any
reaction and you see I don't get any reaction from those okay all right so first test of this done
now let's swipe some of the magenta over the white and see how that turns out
so a couple of things the white is popping up and
the 24 karat gold is popping up for cells that is gorgeous
so maybe this time I'll swipe turquoise back through both of these colors
Yep they're the cells oh that's so that's so pretty
this technique has really just been about experimenting and figuring out
which colors work and you know just there's so many chemical
things to figure out and transparencies and so I'm really experimenting with this one
because I am going to put this technique into my course that I've been working on so I want
to be able to tell you as much as I possibly can to make you successful with this technique
magenta again through here
wow those cells are beautiful it's big huge chunky lacing in cells that happen there
all right so I've got this section up here
okay I'm gonna swipe
I wish I'd swipe down this way because that will go off I'm going to swipe this part down this way
I like my little parts of yellow that I have in there I might come
in with a smaller palette knife on this side
big chunk of
turquoise through there and I feel like I don't know maybe I'll swipe this part down here
part up through here
take your time when you're swiping see I didn't take as much time here and these
cells broke just a little bit but that is okay I'm going to grab my smaller palette knife now
I'm a tiny babies palette knife it's dirty I need to wash it I know and I'm gonna swipe
through here just a little bit
and then right through
there
that is interesting I don't know oh my gosh I almost choked to death
I had a frog in my throat I had birds in my garage now I have a frog in my throat
um I don't know if I like this area right here
all right we'll see I have a feeling that that's probably not going to dry quite so
great but we'll see I'm done I think this is really really pretty I'm just gonna go
for it I'm gonna stretch this out it's really gold so now that I know that those reactions
happen I can leave out my regular metallic and just use the 24 karat gold and I'm gonna
try one of these with turquoise black and gold because I love that color combination together
um all right I think I'm just going to this is a weird reaction happening here as well
so the magenta is not holding up quite as good
but we'll see when I stretch it out that'll probably go over the edge
there are some times that I wish I could leave it just like this
and just paint around the edges but let me get my gloves on I'll
stretch this out all right here we go I'm going to start to this corner first
and then over to this corner oh these pieces always look so organic I absolutely love it
I lost a lot of my magenta over there on that side
oh
I still have a lot of paint on the canvas
oh I have some gorgeous cell reactions happening I don't want to move that off I think I'm just
going to chance it with how much paint is on there because I love the composition look at oh
I will spill I will spill so I dropped something this was like
quite a while ago in one of my videos I dropped something right in the middle
and you know sometimes people's comments are just like really did you need to say that and
they said I feel like you do it on purpose just so that you can fiddle with your painting more
and I'm like okay you know I just if you need to say those things go right ahead but not really
um so I have some really cool reactions happening right up in here I wish that I had them down here
as well but I know it's because my paint is thick around like in this side but if I stretch anymore
I feel like it's going to ruin it so I don't want to I don't want to fit all
with this at all I'm I think I'm actually Gonna Leave It
I'm Gonna Leave It all right I'm gonna take you in show you all these super
cool effects and I'm definitely gonna play around with this again
wow so take a look at that how cool is that
and it's kind of started to happen over there but I don't think that's going to
develop anymore there's that lacing that was like those big cells to start with but they ended up
look at that they ended up stretching out to just be lacing I love that river running right
through there I cannot wait to see how this one dries fingers crossed everyone I think
I might try the exact same color combination and I think I might ring the colors this time
leave out the other metallic and I think I'm going to try to use less paint so that the
paint can roll over and thin at the edges and see if I can get more of this effect around the bottom
so let's see how that goes all right I will show you how it dries
okay here it is and it dried pretty much the same it's got a lot of 24 karat gold
I like it shines so bright and you can tell that is that little bit of extra
um that gold copper or that gold bronze mixture
but so there is that super cool reaction it's like a web over top of everything else and then I did
get a little bit of the magenta I'm realizing just doesn't react as well because you can see it down
here it's like the 24 karat gold sat on top of it so I don't know if I should maybe paint that area
back with 24 karat gold just with a brush or just leave it I'm not sure yet but the rest of it and
if you can see that veining through there of that turquoise and how soft that white mixed in ugh
I love it I have so this is spoiler alert I have two more videos coming with the same color palette
but doing a little bit different technique and experimenting and I'll be honest I like the other
two paintings a lot so stay tuned because this is going to be like a little mini series of 24
karat gold with this color combination so you'll see those throughout the next couple of weeks
but I really like this one. thank you so much for watching! happy painting! bye!
