hi guys today i'm in the mood for a new chain pull butterfly but this time let's
make it a little different so instead of going for
a front symmetrical view of the butterfly i want to go
more like a side view i think that should make it look
a lot more dynamic so let's see how that's gonna work
my paint today is mixed with floetrol and water and honestly i think this
super simple mixture works really well with
the chain pool technique and guys chain pool acrylic pouring is
so much fun and my biggest advice to you if you also decide to try this butterfly
technique make sure your base layer is very very
thin trust me it makes all the difference i will be happy to
hear from you what you think about my today's outcome
and now let's pour some paint today i'm working
on 12 by 12 wooden panel again and now let's apply
the base coat
i want to go for lighter background peace is my secret message for this
butterfly so i want to go for like a sky blue
background and this is why i'm adding this light
blue with my white
so
my base layer is done i really like how gentle
and airy it looks so now let's do the butterfly i kind of want to go for a
side view of the butterfly so first i'm gonna add
two back wings and then i'll work on the front
i'm gonna use black to outline my butterfly
all right let's do the first chain pool
i'm trying to align my chain right over the black
this process definitely takes some focus
these colors here so good
i have removed a lot of this paint from here because i know my
second chain pull is going to be here so i don't want this layer of paint to be
too thick otherwise it can cause a whole lot of problems
so i think i'm ready for a second wing
okay
i took this black a little too far compared to
this wing oh well let's add the paint and see how that's gonna work
i'm worried that this part might get a bit muddy
remove some of these colors because i'm kind of worried my colors can get really
muddy and i'm going to be swiping them over
each other
there's already lots of black now i just want to add just a touch of
white instead not a whole lot just to cover up this
piece well that was quite a bit of a
preparation now let's swipe it let's chain pull it i should say and see
how that's gonna work
yeah these colors got a little too dark and also i got quite a bit of black here
which i don't mind but this part i did not pull my chain um
consistently so i'm gonna grab
my painting knife and try to
actually maybe i should just grab a little bit of chain and pull that in
yeah i'll do that instead
guys hope you're learning along the way with me because
i'm learning myself on how to fix some of these problems
that are happening along the way
uh let me know if you like seeing this type of
troubleshooting trouble fixing okay let's do last one
i have to say the last one is perfect this one is the best out of the
four i love none of the colors have over mixed too
much no mud and it's super super duper
precise all the lines okay this is good at least the last one i
managed to get really really nice okay i want to
simulate chain pulls on this side
gosh sometimes i feel like i'm just such a perfectionist
where it's totally unnecessary
it's better to do than not to do
okay i have to say i love it it really stands out against
this sky blue background it's not really perfect
in terms of the anatomy of butterfly i think it would look slightly different
if i looked at it from this angle but you know what who cares perfection
is boring we're doing some abstract art here so it does not need to
be completely precise
okay
i'm gonna work on the body of the butterfly and i also feel like i want to
add something extra
on the top wings
okay oh i like it this little touch
now okay guys i feel like this butterfly
really needs a little flower right here just to finish this composition because
i feel like it will be missing uh and of course tiny little legs so
i have never done a flower in the chain pulling technique
usually i do i blow it with a straw but i don't think the blowing style would
look good here so i'll try i'll try to do a little
flower all right let's try to do a little
flower
this is actually not too bad
i'm using the same chain for my flower but i'm using different parts of it
okay the last petal did not work too good huh
so far this flower looks terrible but i'm gonna try again because this
beautiful bright butterfly deserves a decent flower so um
maybe i can add a touch yellow just to have more accents
i like that let's try do the same two more times
last one
well now it kind of looks like a flower i like it
not too bad
so let's give it a little stem
oh this is too much green oops
remove some of that
all right my friends here is a little close-up i feel like i can stop now with
my flower and with everything else i love these
colors together they're just amazing definitely create
a really beautiful stunning contrast especially against
such a light delicate background
kind of happy with this flower too although it's not perfect
please let me know how you like this butterfly how you like this type of
composition when the butterfly is more like a sideways
and not just a front view and yeah just let me know what you think
i'm always happy to hear from you and i'll talk to you in the comments
thank you so much for watching guys as always see you in the next video bye
bye happy pouring
