I'm gonna be doing a colander pour tonight
and I am going to be doing it with pearl paints. so normally when I do a colander pour the paints are
very thick I use a colander that has holes in the bottom and little uh legs like this.
and I normally pour the paints in the center and I have white as my last color because that is what
creates that beautiful design that's right on the center. but I'm not going to do that this time this
time I'm going to have my Pearl paints layered and put them in so I don't know what design is
going to come out I don't know what it's going to look like if the colors are going to show up
I'm also going to do it a little bit different I'm going to pour black on the canvas first
before I spin it out and I am going to be using my makeshift spinner I still have yet to buy one I'm
doing the fluid art Boutique with Erica Hughes so I think she's going to be bringing me one of hers
I'm going to trade her some of my stands but I'm gonna go ahead and get started I kept the lids on
because I've done this before where they look exactly the same when they're wet so I have no
idea which color it is I have to like my hands are still dirty from before but I have to like
I had to put a color on the black to see for it to show up what it was um all right so I think
I'm gonna start I think I'm gonna start with the Violet the Pearl Violet down in the center
and I'm gonna do really I'm gonna try to do really small layers in this one
green no
no whoops oh gosh okay Pearl violet grow green
Pearl blue
I probably shouldn't have layered the red and the Violet right next to each
other because they actually look similar when they dry a little bit
can't fix it now okay back to this back to Violet
foreign I can already tell the impatient part of me is like just hurry up and put
bigger layers so that you can start painting oh like calm down Molly
oh okay okay
spinning
all right maybe I'll go Pearl red this time and then Purl blue
so this is already a few more layers than before and the other one that I did stop spinning
did I already put in the pearl blue oh no did I put in Pearl blue
I'll put in a little bit more Pearl blue I don't remember
oh there was a lump of something and that will definitely be in my
where did it go well it's in there now all right last little layer here
I turn out I don't care if it's off center I don't care about anything I just really want to
see what these colors are gonna look like coming out of that colander for this design all right so
and I think maybe I'll just end it with black
because the black will be whatever's on the top
will be the outer edge and I'm gonna pour the black on the canvas anyway uh-oh
that's Pearl Violet I'm telling you this paints are if you've
pre-mixed these paints keep your Lids on what I should have done
is instead of writing it on the lid written it on the bottle I'm gonna do that I just hadn't yet
sometimes you have these like duh moments I just had one um all right so
I oh I'm excited I don't know I don't know what's gonna happen okay I think I'm just gonna pour
right here and then maybe just like a little bit further out towards the edges
all that connected right there I don't know how this is going to come out
okay I'm gonna place this down should have just poured around I don't know whatever
and I don't have my Center exactly matched marked out
it's gonna be interesting here we go I'm gonna start
I wonder
if the colors are all going to mix together
I really don't know what's gonna happen here
hmm okay so I see it already starting to spread out to the side so it's going to
meet that paint around it and it's already kind of already started to come through
okay oh that's really pretty I got the I got the design in the center
I wonder if it's going to stay that way it's going to be a color though it's not going to be white
all right now I need to like pop the little oh I've got a bunch maybe I can do it with my
oh and I created when I torched I created some like little cells on the side over here whoops
um I was watching back one of my videos the other day and I realized that I had
something like in the painting after it dried and I was like I didn't see that
from the bottom of my torch I watched the video back I'm like oh okay that's where that came from
okay the paints are thinner and I knew this going into it but I just wanted to see what it would
look like so this is I know that this probably isn't going to hold its shape the same that my
regular colander pours do um and it's a little bit off center I can see but that's okay I'm just
going to touch my fingers to the edges so I put the black in the center so that the colors would
show up on the black base for the Pearl paints and I put it around the side so that I wouldn't have
to like super spin this out and spread it too much so my spinner is normally off center air bubble
um off center so I'm gonna have to probably like
rotate it a little bit but let's just get spinning and see what happens here
already spinning off that side so what I always do is I take it and I rotate it
this way and then this part will spin off this is really pretty
there we go next side
I may have to shift it all back that way oh my gosh the center okay one more shift think
this way
I didn't even tape this canvas on the back like if anybody gets this canvas it's just
this is a Molly experiment
do they get all the sides wow
now it shifted this way just a little bit so I want to kind of pick the whole thing back up
and just kind of stretch it out a bit
actually I like oh I like that that it's kind of oblong in the center
huh I just want to go back that way just a hair
that way again
wow don't care that it's not centered I can already tell what this one's gonna dry like
because the colors are starting to show up I've got Violet and blue and a little bit of green
along the outside and then I've got my Violet in the center so I am this looks really really
cool it I just want it this way just a hair no no it's not gonna work I'm going to leave it alone
I'm gonna leave it alone all right let me take you down let me show you so I just turned off
my camera and realized that it was never on my front-facing one so you're gonna see this video
with a little bit different angles which I don't know if
it's gonna work or not but here let me okay let me stop let me show you
and I think it's really gonna dry with this looking like metallics but I don't know what
colors the white ones are that are in there now I don't know how this is gonna turn out
but I am really excited to find out and it's it looks kind of like that and it looks really 3D
I'm not getting it good with the Shadows but all right so I'll show you how this one dries
and sorry that you never saw my front-facing camera
okay so here it is I will say I thought this video was never gonna make it to foreign to my channel
there were so many issues with my microphone and one of my cameras messed up but it looks
very very 3D and it looks like a hydrangea almost in the Middle with like the little
with the colors I'm trying to get it there's like light there but you can see all the colors
show up around it the blue the green the purple and what's lost a little bit is that red color
that's in there but there it is I do think maybe I could have done just a little bit of white
maybe even just in the center or even right in the center where I poured the black
it's off center I don't care I just think it's really cool that these paints show up like this
and it definitely looks super dark without light on it and as soon as you put light on it it lights
up like this so I hope that you enjoyed the video this one was super fun I'm gonna experiment with
this a little bit more I think and thank you for watching! happy painting! bye!
