hi everyone! it's molly! welcome back, thanks for being here. let's do something fun tonight!
i had some leftover paints from the colander pour that i did
and i already had 50/50 gloss medium and floetrol in there i wanted to add more gloss medium
and do a straight pour and see if i could get some really translucent effects from the
gloss medium. so that is what i'm gonna do tonight enjoy the video! let's paint!
all right hello everyone i had so much fun with the colors from the colander pour that i did
that i wanted to do it again as a straight pour a thick paint straight pour and when i did that
i thought okay well i used about 50/50 floetrol to gloss medium for those because i get that
beautiful translucent effect in the center so i added even more gloss medium to this
so i would say this is probably seventy percent gloss medium thirty percent floetrol
and then one two three paint with just a tiny bit of water if needed for consistency
and that was a mouthful it'll all be down below the video in the description i have all my links
there but i'm just gonna do a regular straight pour with this i'm not gonna wreck this one um i
might do a sunset color one still and wreck that one like i did with the spine to create like a
cool pattern but i am just going to get started oh so you can see my i'm like talking it super speed
for you so you can see my cup here how i layered the paints and i started with the rose mater on
the bottom this time and then i have white next to it so we'll see how that comes out i'm thinking
that the pink is now going to be the predominant part of the maybe i'll start in some little swirls
and then i'm gonna go these colors may bleed into each other a little bit more
you can go slower to create some more interesting designs you can pour from up
high if you want it to blend together a little bit more you can pour really slow and close
if you want really cool colors to come out you can twist it if you want to change the direction
of where it's coming
you can do anything you want you could travel that spin it around
i dripped but so i can already tell i don't like when i was spinning this and there's a
lot of pink in the center so i think what i'm gonna do is actually drag my finger through it
now before i stretch it out
and you can do this you can do whatever you want to these paintings it's your painting right
and with all that gloss medium i definitely got
a more blended color scheme when i did the other thick paint straight pour without as
much gloss medium varnish the colors were really like crisp and or not the colors the lines were
really crisp this one looks like it really looks like it's blended a little bit more and i can see
the translucent effects coming through here so again my center i'm just kind of playing
in here wrapping them into each other
i don't know how this is going to stretch out but if you don't play you won't know
so some people say you know i've ruined paintings
i don't believe it's true because i'm learning from each experience that i have and so
i don't consider that a fail i don't consider that anything but exploration
okay so i'm going to start here
i really ended up with like a ring pour in the center but we'll see
okay i'm gonna take some of the blue and just pour it on around so that i get a good
flowing base coat on here
and then i am going to start stretching this out i'm interested to see how the gloss medium
yeah see it's like blending together it's really cool i definitely
don't like the center as much so it's probably going to go off
of one side this reminds me this doesn't remind me of a straight pour this
actually reminds me of my old school ring pores but the translucent center
love it love it love it
this is really cool you can see the layers underneath it as well
i'm gonna at this stage pop air bubbles again
i almost feel like you get more air bubbles with glossy medium
because it just makes makes the paint so much thicker
i feel like you get more air bubbles with gloss medium than you do with
flow trolling gloss medium combined
i'll just hold that back this way that is so pretty these colors are absolutely
stunning together one more time back down to that corner if i've got the paint left for it and i do
oh my goodness
okay i'm missing some paint over here
i want to just kind of start it at the top and let it run down
and over here is like mostly this color so i'm going to pour it out on the table
and then touch my finger to it and just rub it right on along there
okay the center i thought i was not going to like
and it's probably my favorite part because i do i don't want to drip i don't want to drip
because i have
there's so much going on like i'll let you look now one thing
if you over torch gloss medium it will get this film on the top of it
so make sure you don't do that when i'm torching i just go really lightly it will almost look like
i don't know like it's crazed or something but i'm gonna show you in here this is crazy
in a good way yeah i'm not touching it this is really cool i'm just going
to fix up my sides and i'll show you i honestly think this color combination is
one of my favorites so here are the lines and the colors are still they're still
bright it's just the lines blend together a little bit more if you can see i'm trying to
and you can see it has like this translucent effect you can see it really well there
and really well over here you can see the colors underneath it
and see how the the colors they just kind of blend a little bit more and since this
is a glossy medium oh i love that woven effect right there that was from my fingers
since it is a glossy medium i am thinking oh i really like this part over here too
i'm thinking that i need to finish my sentence i'm thinking that this is gonna dry
pretty bright and shiny and not matte
look at that
super cool effect all right let's see how this one dries
i am over the moon with this piece
the lines the gloss medium
it is so glossy already it looks like i've already varnished it
super cool and look at this center
i am really happy that i did that kind of finger painting in the middle
but man the colors dried super true to what they looked like
i love it love it love it so that is what adding just a little bit extra
gloss medium will do it gives you that translucent effect
and the colors mwah chef's kiss love it all right thank you everyone for watching! happy painting! bye!
