Hello, my creative friends! Olga Soby here, and welcome to this new acrylic pouring video
in a galaxy far, far away. So today let's try and create a galaxy. You know I have been having
a lot of fun with my new "Dancing Universe" series creating planets and nebulas and satellites,
and today I am not going to use my ring. So no ring. Instead, I want to go for a funnel ripple
pour technique with the color separation within the funnel. So, split color funnel we can call it.
And I'm going to use this large silicone funnel for my pour today.
Remember when I did the rainbow swirl painting, here it is by the way,
and here is the video if you haven't seen it before. So I also did this color separation,
vertical color separation within the funnel, and it worked out amazing. And I thought that this
spiral movement, as well as layers of colors, can work really amazing for galaxy
style look and feel. I also really liked what "J MO Painting" did for his color split funnel. So
I think this overall concept can work really amazing for the galaxy spiral movement. So,
today I'm working on this 12 by 12 inches cradled wood panel, and let's see how it turns out. And by
the way, in the next video, I'm gonna be back to my planet pour, and I want to level it up a little
bit. I also gonna introduce a new tool to you that you can use to create these round spheric shapes
in your painting. I know that many of you have a really hard time finding this large cookie cutter
so stay tuned for that. And now let's get started with today's galaxy art funnel pour. Let's go.
Okay, so for the colors of my galaxy, I want it to be primarily blue with some pops of pink. This
one is sort of a dark pink dash magenta, might add some white, just to keep some sections brighter,
and the rest of it is gonna be black. I also have yellow here already, I don't know if I'm gonna use
it, maybe closer to the core of my galaxy to make it warmer. But I don't know I'll see how it goes.
So this is my funnel. And I want to get started by actually adding the base. I'm just going to
cover this panel with black. I think it will help my color slide a little better.
And this, I mean we're using this panel which by the way is 12 by 12 inches cradled wood panel. I
used it once before, I didn't like my outcome, so it was scraped, and it's fully dry now. So it can
be perfectly reused again giving it a second chance. So, let's get started with the base.
I get quite a few air bubbles here but actually, I think that's fine. Because they might pop even
later and that will create interesting little stars or textures in my galaxy. So for this
particular pour, some air bubbles can actually do a good. Okay, so the same as with my rainbow
I will try
to create the separation. So the colors will be separated in four not in
seven as the last time. So, at the beginning, it's very hard to separate because the stem
of the funnel is so narrow the further we go the easier it is to maintain the separation.
So, I do two and two, two on one side, and two black, and again two on one side, and two black.
A bit of white, and all over again. Oh, you know what? I didn't add black
for the last few rounds I totally forgot. See I need to stay engaged all the time.
Okay, so go again.
I think I'm gonna add a little bit more of this blue, and this is more than enough paint.
Maybe some more black here. This is a pretty small panel so I don't need to really make my
funnel full because this is a pretty decent-sized funnel. Okay, Iast black.
I hope it turns out well. Those colors, those layers, they look so cool. Okay, now let's get
started with the ripple. Oh, I see that I shifted from the center a little bit, let's go back to the
center. I'm going to start doing the funnel ripple pour and at the same time rotating my panel.
So far it's all in black.
Okay, guys, I added way too much black. All the colors are just underneath here.
Shoot. So you know what? That's okay, we'll just do it again.
We don't even need to add this much. So,
I'm gonna try again to do the same thing, to do this separation. Let's try to do one round. Black
is a tricky color it allows you to achieve so much beautiful depth but can also absorb your colors.
Some of the really cool forms and shapes are popping there
but that's definitely not the look that I'm trying to achieve.
I mean let's try to go again.
Okay, we're getting there definitely with beautiful spiral movement. I love it.
But you know what? I want to go for yet another round.
Should have done two. Well, that's part of the trying something new, you know, sometimes you
just have to adjust as you go. This is beautiful movement here, definitely a very space vibe.
Okay, so that is done. A little more, a little more.
Okay, cool, cool, cool. So, now I want to add a bit more white, and just a touch of yellow,
just a little touch. Maybe it's not even going to be visible but maybe it will be.
All right, this looks fun. This looks more like,
I don't know, makes me think of a cake for some reason. I can tell you that it didn't work as I
imagined it would. But I definitely love this spiral movement here. I need to fill my torch.
This is good, actually, I like
how those little bubbles here look like little planets. Okay, let's spin it carefully.
Oh, that's cool.
Overtorched this a little bit, you see how it cracked?
But this is beautiful, the way it's stretched.
I mean I think it's a really cool effect.
See how this one spiral goes, this one goes? They are very distinct. I think I
want this corner to be just black. It's a little more imbalanced with the rest.
I want to add a little bit of stars.
So, again using my fan brush.
It's a little thicker paint I don't know how that will look, let's see.
Yeah, with thicker paint it doesn't work
so easily.
Yeah, definitely love it better with a few splashes of stars.
Well, that worked quite differently from what I was initially anticipating, used way more paint
but I love it. Definitely has very cool movement and spiral expanding.
I think I might add more stars when the painting is dry. I wish those lines
were a little more sharp and rounded. So, yeah, that part didn't work out perfectly,
need to give it another try. I think that next time I should definitely use more white for my
galaxy colors. And this is beautiful here. Didn't work out perfectly but I still think it's super
cool. What do you guys think? How do you like this galaxy? Does it look like a galaxy to you?
Let me know, I will chat with you in the comments down below. Thank you so much for watching! I'll
see you in the next video! Let's level up that planet pour and don't forget to check out the new
tool that I'm gonna be using so I'll see you then. Take care, and stay creative! Bye-bye!
