hi everyone it's molly welcome back to my channel thank you for being here! I'm going to try
again another swipe with the Australian floetrol and I really want this one to be kind of
subtle and just have some really interesting kind of fluid art designs in them so I'm not going for
anything specific but just something in blues and greens and silver that's just going to be
just really pretty honestly so fingers crossed. let's paint!
all right hi everyone! I am going to play around a little bit more with the Australian floetrol
and I bought this because I had done Shelee Art's course and she is
in Australia so i got it. I talked about it in another video so I won't spend too
much time on this, but I got it off of eBay. It is rather expensive. I'm going to be doing some testers
to see if I can get similar results for a swipe with the American floetrol or Amsterdam titanium white and
water. So what I did the last time was leave some negative space on each side.
This time I think I'm going to do a ribbon pour so I wanted to use up the left over colors
I am using similar colors to the last painting.
I want to make sure I have enough paint and then I'm
gonna do this cup so ribbon pour is literally just pouring ribbons of paint around and i hope
that i have enough i wish i had a little bit more lime green but i hope this stretches enough
so we'll see now before i do i do want to stretch it just a little bit maybe
just to cover a little bit of this but i want enough on here don't definitely don't want to
go off my edges yet i want enough on here that when i swipe i can still stretch this
out a little bit so i have my Australian floetrol it is mixed one part paint uh
with three parts Australian floetrol and it is rather thick so I'm gonna pour this down here
and i'm just gonna get to swiping see what happens i'm gonna try to do like a big swipe across.
the hardest part for me with loading up this is that wherever you start there is normally a lot of white left over.
so i left this blank because i'm going to start right here and then that part will get pushed off
oh that is so pretty! I didn't have my paper towel ready
wow that is gorgeous so i think i'm just gonna do one other big swipe down this way
this has been really fun to play with
so as i lift up and don't drag i don't get as many cells along there but that's okay
i think i'm gonna do just one more starting across this way
so for me leaving that little this bit of canvas and starting there really helps to
not have like that big splotch of white across there because who wants that right
okay this is fun! I am just going try different colors. what is that?
i am so messy! what is it? what is that? okay i don't even remember what i was telling
you! now so I'm gonna play with some different colors with this too i think this technique is
really cool um and i like the ribbon pour it gives some blocks of color and some swirls i'm
very excited of how this is gonna turn out all right so now i got to figure out where i want
to start stretching and i have more on this end so i'm going to go to this end first and then
oh i just lost all that right there dang i probably needed just a
little bit more paint to play with but let's just see because i'll be able to stretch this back
the other way oh my goodness that is gorgeous yeah i think i needed just a little bit more paint
so note for next time but this is all i had that was left over
while the paint weight of the paint is down here
i'm going to go ahead and stretch this side as well
just some fun funky abstract stuff
and i have some of shelley's pigments as well that i want to play with
i just have not had any time to do anything i don't know if anybody else feels that way
trying so that you guys can see it
it is like clockwork that my favorite corner i normally end up
pouring off how does that always happen i'm tilting
a big spot left there
i need to tilt a bunch back that way okay let me spin this around for that last
corner trying not to touch the sides that much but
i have just been so messy lately
oh well what can you do i'm not having fun if i'm not making a mess all right
little thing right there okay let me go back this way now i kind of wish that i'd gone i really want
that off the side there but let's just see so this is using my regular pouring medium not um
anything too special this is just my flow troll for the colors i mean is flochol gac 800 and um
gloss medium varnish and you could even leave the gac 800
out it is rather expensive i'll get you back in view in a second
okay i think that's as far as that is going um you can leave that out and this effect still works
yes this is gorgeous
gorgeous all right i'm gonna fix my sides and then i'll show you
okay so i did fiddle with this just a little bit i fiddled because what had happened
is there was just like this straight piece across it and i didn't like that
and i didn't have a ton of paint left so i just took my palette knife and kind of swiped
a little bit just to break that up to give it just you know a little bit more something
but i really do like it but note to self next time just make up more paint even if
it's your leftovers i'm trying to go slow that you can so that you can see all the beautiful
designs i love that little pop of lines from the ribbon poor that's in there
i have that funky line right there across i may play with that a little bit too
and then i put that solid block of color i swiped and ended up with that solid block of color back
there but again when this dries nobody's gonna know that that wasn't supposed to be there
well technically everyone will know because you watch this video but
i love it all right let me show you the dried result i am in love with this piece
so i flipped it around the way that i showed it to you wet and the way that you saw it made
um i had like this big this big just piece down the center and i didn't like that so what i did
i came back in and i thought i was ruining it at the time and i came back in and i added kind of
these lines through here and i really really think it added the perfect contrast and broke that up
this over here is just gorgeous and let me get you in on the details how they dried
that looks 3d right there so i stretched it out just a little bit
next time i'll use a little bit more paint but i i really really like it i am going to keep
playing with this one well i hope you enjoyed this video thank you so much for watching i
appreciate all of your likes and shares and comments they all help my channel so thank you
all right i'll see you in the next video! happy painting!
bye!
