hi everybody welcome back this is going to be the next experiment with mixing black into
Pearl paints now I will say while these have been interesting none of them thus far have
been like wow I want to change my process and do it this way instead but I do think it is a
really pretty kind of color palette if you like really soft colors or colors that kind
of you know almost monochromatic type paintings then I think they are very pretty but for me I
normally like like super bright colors so um and I like how with the regular Pearl paints
that they shift so I don't know if I'll do any more experiments past this one um but it has
been super interesting to learn more about these I have Golden's interference colors as well um I
am going to try those out too I've had them for a little while and I just have been playing around
with these so much the Amsterdam brand that I haven't really gotten into it but they're
basically the same thing and I will have some of those experiments coming too um so for this one
because my colors are so dark and I will show you they are like they look black but that is purple
they are so rich um it's it's really really pretty so I've got the purple the green the
yellow and the blue again but I'm going to add in pearl white to these so that's why I chose to
do the dark background um on this one instead of the white canvas because I really want the pearl
white to hopefully shine through on those so for this one I took the cup and I went all the way up
with pearl paint and then I went all the way up to the top with black if you're trying to
like follow along so this was a 7 oz cup so I did maybe about 40% black and the rest the Pearl maybe
even 50% and the rest the pearl colors so this created a super dark Rich color so I don't know
do I want to start with the pearl white in the center is the question I did purple on the last
one so I'm going to do blue I'm going to start with actual blue and then layer in and I feel
like maybe I want some like big chunky layers of the pearl white maybe chunky is not the right word
but yeah like a a bigger layer than I did on the
last one okay so what do I want to do now I think I'm going to go
with and I am super interested to see how this turns out because I'm not using the
base like the liquid black base I'm using a canvas that I painted and I just painted this
with regular um oh my gosh I almost put that in the wrong place I cannot talk to
y'all and do this what color was that okay that was yellow um I painted it with just
regular acrylic paint and let it dry this one's actually been sitting for a couple
of weeks but you don't let have to let it sit that long I've done it and painted Within a
couple of days that green is so pretty I wonder if these are going to show up
though in hindsight I probably would have added just a little
bit less black but even if this comes out just like a white and black painting I
would actually be okay with that too cuz I think it's going to be super
cool I'm going to need a little bit more pearl white
let me see here where is it there it is okay I pour it in here I can control
it better if I pour it into the smaller container so that's why almost out of that
one super oh I saw one little thing just get in there oh will I be able to get that out
oh my gosh I can't believe it I actually did H I found it
and I was like well that's a goner I guess I'll get it out when I stretch
it ha I triumphed over the paint today all
right yeah I wonder if this is just going to come out maybe it's too much black in there but in the
cup you won't probably be able to see on camera the camera never does it justice but the cups
are so pretty deep rich dark color okay and then I think I will do this one as a ring pour as well
do my purple and then I'll put the rest of it around the sides and I used up all of my pearl
white that always makes me happy all right so I'll leave those again I didn't use this much I must be
afraid of that yellow which is kind of like brown which makes sense CU a lot of times I
am afraid of brown um all right so where do I pour out of I'm going to pour out of the side
and I do like doing this in like reverse ring por style so that my center now this is super
interesting I have no idea how this one one's going to come out cuz that white kind of mixed
together with the colors to just be a little bit gray I don't know is this just going to be
gray I'm not in love with the center again I'm like a
ninja yeah even the cup isn't that pretty this time so I don't know oh my gosh my fingers are
going to get stuck together with paint I I don't know about this one y'all all right
let me pour the rest of this around the sides here yeah I don't know about this one that pearl
white really took over not every experiment comes out the way you want it what I'm upset
about is I wasted one of my one of my canvases I've already painted but it's not a waste if I
learned something from it even if all I learn is I don't like that that's okay all right got the
rest of my hold around these edges got my green over here I didn't use up that much green either
okay and then my blue do I want to wreck this I feel like it definitely needs to be
wrecked so interesting how that white kind of took over
there I was not expecting that all right so I have wrecked I normally wreck with like these
little squiggly lines through it but I wonder what would happen if I just
did like this kind of like I do for
my puddle
pores a pattern like that
hm I mean let's see right what's the worst that could
happen I actually like that that's a pretty cool
pattern I just have a feeling this is going to be
silver all right let's stretch it out let's see what happens
got a good amount of paint on there going to stretch it to all my sides first I am sad that I'm
going to lose that really pretty white um pattern around there cuz I actually really liked that
but maybe it'll just be like a black and white painting I'm interested to
see how this pattern is going to stretch out too
looks almost square and I actually don't like that so I'm going to circle this around a little
bit this is how you can change your pattern see how the paint is like moving in a circle right
now that is how you change your pattern if it's coming out not looking exactly how you want it
now I'm going to keep moving around in a
circle yeah I don't know guys this one's not looking too
great H I'm going to show it anyway just so that in case anybody else does it so that
they don't you know waste their paints but yeah this is definitely not not my
favorite all right I don't know what I want to do do I want to try to save it or just leave
it because what would be interesting I feel like maybe it could save it is if I either
swiped through it or Ribbon poured through
it gosh I don't know all right I think I'm going to I'm going to leave it just because
I want to see what it dries like and then I can always reuse the canvas I can paint over
top of it I can do tons of things with it so I'm not like upset about it but
very very interesting so that pearl white adding it between those layers it took over all the
colors very interesting all right I'll show you what it looks like okay so first thing I did not
like the wrecking pattern I like this side where I started to swirl but I didn't like this side
can you hear my little Kitty so it got kind of wonky and I told you I was scared of that brown
which is really yellow but there it is that's the dark blue I'm just not getting the colors
in this I mean maybe when it dries I'll get some of them it's going to be a surprise to
both of us but that pearl white I mean it really really took over so duy noted and again even if
an experiment teaches me just one thing I'm okay with it I get people that ask me all the time why
do you post paintings if you think that they're bad or if they don't work out so that we can all
learn we'll see how it [Laughter] drives all right so I'm not going to call this a
fail because I learned a lot but this is not what I wanted or what I thought would happen
the silver basically just took over and as I get up close you'll be able to see so at
first I was like where's my purple where's my green where's my blue but that's purple
that's green you can see the purple that yellow definitely went to a brown color
this time and the blue is mixed all in between here but it mixed with the silver
so not not what I was thinking at all some of these designs are really pretty in here
but overall I don't like my composition and the way that I wrecked that one either but
if you want a really pretty chocolate metallic put a lot of black into Pearl
yellow I originally thought maybe it would go to like a an olive green green color so
I am a little bit surprised that it stayed this kind of brown color but sometimes black and and
yellow will make that green but definitely learned a lot from this one don't think I'll
be trying this again and I also think that that might be the end of adding black to my colors I
think my favorite one was the one that I did before this where I added just medium amount
in and it just made kind of super rich metallic colors but this was definitely fun I have a few
more actual Pearl experiments to do um I have the alternating complimentary color puddle pore
coming up and a few others so we'll definitely be experimenting again with the pearlescent paints
but I think this is the end of a chapter on mixing in the black but I appreciate you if
you have been here watching these and thank you so much for watching! happy painting! bye!
