all right hello everyone welcome back to my channel thank you for being here. I'm going to be
doing something..... I feel like I always say I'm going to be doing something fun tonight, but I'm going to
be doing something different and fun tonight I was sent these 3D printed cups from a viewer her
name is Becky Monahan it's been like well over a year and I haven't gotten around to using these
but I was very inspired by the paintings that Fiona art has been doing with these and she
basically does um kind of like a straight pour um with this split cup and so that's what I wanted
to do tonight and I just wanted to use black white and silver my white is artist Loft the new version
white and it is mixed with flotrol um a little bit more than I would normally use so I would maybe
say four or five parts flotrol and then a little bit of water to thin it out but it gives a very
um cloudy like effect similar to the creative Inspirations that I use
um so or at least that's what I noticed when I was doing some other paintings and I had some
left over so I think I'm just gonna go ahead and get started here I'm trying to decide I have two
cups I'm gonna use them both in the painting so I think I'm gonna start with a little bit of
some bigger mouths by mail I already have a big mouth
all right so I'm gonna start now these cups I haven't really used them
before because they are difficult to clean so I would recommend having like a little
um bucket that you can wash out supplies in so that you don't have to wash them down the sink
and you just let it kind of soak and then for me it's hot here in Florida most times so I just you
know let it sit outside you can kind of uh put a little sieve in it to get any particles and
then you can just kind of let the the water dry itself but I reuse it for a long time
and that is a way that you can clean it without dumping it all down the drain
all right I'm gonna do white here
and I think I'm gonna do white on this side I feel like maybe I wanted more black though but
I don't know maybe I'll only put one white in this one oh there were some lumps
I saw that happen oh well then I'm gonna put silver in this one
and I'm gonna put silver in both of these sides now I'm gonna put black actually
Split Decision here I'm going to put black
I've really been enjoying just playing around you know when I started my channel that is
all I did was just play around and I had so much fun I was even doing these split cups
and I was making uh like ring pores that looked like flowers and roses and onions
um but I was just putting cardboard down to section it out and then all
of these split cups came out and I was like Wow Innovation I didn't even know
maybe I shouldn't even tell you guys this I didn't even know about 3D printing it was like a new
thing to me like four or five years ago so um all right I think I'm gonna get these out of the way
and just kind of get going here I have a little bit of black and a little bit of white left over
as well and I can use those to help the paint flow but I'm gonna go with my bigger one first
and I'm just gonna go for this I think I'm gonna wander it a little bit okay
so at first glance it's not pouring out of here great I'm going to slow it down a little bit
oh and there was that lump I'll have to get that out
I'm gonna wander it around though
and maybe spin it a little bit
yeah I'm not in love with the lip on this one
of how it's coming out and it is a lot of white okay I'm going to travel this one around and I'm
going to go slow again I can't talk to you and do this at the same time actually quite hard
I'm just gonna jiggle this one up just a little bit
uh yeah I will say not in love with that spout the spout here
didn't lend for great pouring I don't actually know like what company made that but
let's see if this one does any better I wish the spout came down kind of like that so that it and
like had maybe just like one little lip there so that it could pour a little bit better but
so I'm going to start over here on this one maybe I'm just not using this right
oh this one's getting a better design
stopped pouring
well you know what it could have been is the way I was layering this as well I
layered this one differently with more black and the white in the center to create that
yeah I think that's part of what it is too is the way that I layered it
I'm telling you that's why I love acrylic pouring
constantly learning and just even the smallest of things can actually
completely change the way a painting will come out
this one's funky I don't know I'm gonna put just a little bit of black
let's see
foreign
that I feel like are going to be funky that I'm going to fix now
I feel like that was one and I feel like this section is one
but I'm not going to mess with that I like this
I think I'm gonna leave the rest of it alone so the black is going to tilt off and that's okay
this is just to help the paint flow and then I normally scrape it back up and reuse it in
another painting so I've had a lot of new people to the channel lately so welcome but they're
also concerned about what I do with the leftovers and they haven't seen some of my other videos so
okay I'm liking it
I'm liking it it's something super simple
I don't want that that's my favorite part so I don't want that to completely go off
oh it looks like feathers I think I'm gonna leave that as is
yeah I think that's pretty cool
okay I think it's super simple I actually really like it though I like the white
and I'll show you in a close-up how it kind of bleeds a little bit into the black that's
what I and it's a cloud kind of not quite like satin enamel clouds but it's a cloudy effect and
I will show you that but I think it's really pretty we'll see how it dries there's a bunch
of silver here and then there's like this Jagged silver here and that Jagged silver
is from the way I layered that cup for sure I should have done the color sandwich so I wish
that this one had five and I didn't really care for the spout that much but I think I'll play
around with it again give it another try this one little area here had something underneath
blend that back in otherwise I'm really happy with this I'm going to give it a
good torch and then I'll take you in and show you what it looks like
all right so here I'll take you in you can see how it kind of looks
feathery cloudy how the white bleeds into the other colors
it's really pretty right there foreign so I don't know we'll see how it dried or how it dries
and Becky thank you so much for sending this to
me I definitely will have fun playing around with it that's my favorite part
and that that's beautiful all right so let's see how this one dries
so I hadn't quite decided how to hang this one yet I actually like it a little bit better this way
than I did the other way I'll show you the other way in a second the silver came
through like I thought you can see it right there in just a couple of different places
you can see it as a line streaking it's that streak right there I think it's super cool
it's just not something that I normally do anymore but man did I have fun going back to it
and again I think I want a cup that has and I appreciate it Becky thank you so much for
giving it to me I think I want a couple that have like a spout on the end of them
and make sure to check out Fiona art as well because she does some beautiful ones of these
simple and elegant and kind of funky! all right thank you so much for watching! happy painting! bye
