hi everyone it's molly! welcome back to my channel thank you for being here.
Today is a special collaboration with olga soby from smart art materials.
We are swapping techniques and we are going to take a beautiful picture for the color inspiration
and we are going to hopefully create something super cool! so let's paint!
all right hello everyone thank you for coming back for another video! this one is going to be
so much fun. i am doing a collaboration with Olga Soby from smart art materials.
She does these beautiful open cup pours and we decided to take a picture
of a photograph that really inspired us and later I will tell you which picture we chose. We decided
to take that picture, and chose the colors and from that picture, and then swap
techniques. so that's why i'll be doing the open cup pour that she does. make sure that you
check out olga's channel and her video as well. i'm excited to see what technique she chose
and how she chose her colors. so the photograph
i can't show it in the video, i'm gonna link it below for copyright reasons, because this
is an actual photographer that took this picture. his name is kjp - keil james patrick.
and i will link him down below. he's well known on instagram and the picture took my breath away. it's
this cottage covered in flowers and pumpkins and so that's where i got the inspiration
for my colors tonight. so i'm using a yellow-gold, cadmium orange, a primary magenta, an aqua green
and a red orange that i mixed out of permanent red and cadmium orange and then my purple i made
from primary magenta and phthalo blue together and the more magenta you add to this
the warmer this purple will be i really like this color it's going to dry a little bit darker and
i'm using floetrol and gloss medium as my pouring medium so i'm going to spread the colors spread
this base out and i did see one little from the edge there all right let me give this a torch too
a lot of air bubbles
okay so i want you to tell me while i'm stretching this out
what inspires you about this time of year for me it's the colors of the leaves changing and the
fact that it gets a little bit cool in florida and by a little bit cool i mean like 65 degrees
but you better believe people are out and about in like their you know snow gear
in florida when it hits 65. so i like that in october, i mean halloween is always fun, and
it's just i feel like this time of year is like a time for friends and family you know?
all right so
i hope i do olga proud on this one. okay so i'm gonna go ahead and start layering my
colors. i'm going to pour a little bit more of the base down just so that it can flow nicely
all right and i'm going to pour the colors down the center and then i'm gonna torch it and then
tilt it out now there's no silicone in these this is just regular paint and pouring medium
and i'm hoping to get some cells and lacing just because of the technique itself and the density
and pushing the um paints kind of underneath each other so i'm going to start right here
so olga is such a sweet person she is um such a supportive artist as well
and she is the one of the co-authors with me and Rinske Douna for our online acrylic pouring course
i love both of those ladies they're super creative super fun just very supportive
okay i'm trying to think of what color i want to go next maybe the magenta
i can already start to see the colors coming out of the sides and then as well
i'm going to be doing another my empty wall collaboration with Rinske soon. okay so next
i don't know if i want to go ahead and tilt this out and maybe use the other colors in the next one
maybe i'll just do a little bit more of this lighter orange on top okay so now i'm going to
pull up this edge right here because i don't want that to like and then i'm just going to
drag it on along
okay stop there
oh i hope this works out now i'm gonna go this
a little bit more of the magenta
i don't know maybe a little bit more of that fiery red
okay so i'm going to pull this one on along
i'm really just skimming the surface
hmm okay it's this part right here i wish i'd kind of skimmed it i don't know if i want to do it now
maybe i'll just oh what do i do
oh that purple and that turquoise together
i don't know do i do one more right through the center here or do i just kind of leave this be
oh man that's difficult maybe i just do one more
oh i don't know
let me torch and see what happens
what do i do
i think i'm gonna start right here
and drag it right through there in the center and i'm going to go back to the turquoise
because i really liked that color combination
oh i hope i didn't mess this up
oh no did i mess that up okay
that will be tilted off so i'm okay with that
oh i hope this is gonna stretch out to be something pretty
okay let's try you won't know unless you try right
i hope that i had enough paint on there as well to really kind of stretch this out but
i think i'll be good i think i'm going to leave a little bit of negative space on the corners
moving it down here
i really like that turquoise side so i don't want to do too much to that
and i don't like that little snake head there that i ended with
so i think i'm going to chain i think i'm going to tilt that off
okay i am gonna bring that back just a little bit and i love it all right
i will show you up close the different cells that are in here that came from absolutely
no oils whatsoever let me and that was just regular u.s floetrol that i used
i'm going to stretch this back down this way just a little bit
maybe just a little bit off that side and back this way
okay so if you ever want to stretch just a certain part of your painting i wanted to stretch this
part right here stretch this part right here but kind of not have these cells go wonky so
if you just stick your hand up underneath when you tilt you will kind of control where you want
that stretch to go but this is very abstract it's very cool the purple reacted really pretty
i think it's going to dry really well it's got some lacing up here the turquoise and the
orangish red color interacted really well i love the cells that came down this side
i'm really happy with this piece well i hope that olga likes it too i hope i i
did her justice there alright so let me uh take you down let me wipe up look at me look at
me me take you down and let me show you here this is i really i think i i like it
look at the cells and the colors that are in this
oh wow wow
no silicone
just using the actual reactions of the paint itself no australian flow troll no nothing
i think this is really cool well olga i hope you like it this is a tribute to you and your
beautiful open cups i see i'll have to figure out which way i actually like it want it to go
well thank you for watching and i will show you the jurad result
that purple dried so dark but in person it's you can still see it's a really pretty purple
and i love how the aqua created like that even more purple line that's there
it dried really nicely and again these aren't like the exact colors you think of with fall
but that's why it's fun to take a picture for inspiration and to take those colors
and create something different because if you would have said
make a fall painting this would not have been what i would have come up with you know
oh that looks like 3d right there
so cool
i love this part right here
but anywho there you go thank you so much olga for collaborating with me
i really enjoyed this one make sure you check out the photographers instagram and olga's video
as well and i will see you in the next one thanks for watching everyone Happy painting! bye!
