All right, hello everyone! This is going to be simple, but I hope very effective technique. So I
am doing more of a tropical color for Rita. This is another commission. But I'm gonna be doing a
wrecked-ring pour. Actually, a wrecked double ring pour. So I tried this once already, and I wrecked it
too much. I did not know when to stop. I kept going. If I had shown you, I don't know maybe
at some point I'll show you the video, but you would have all been screaming at me "stop! stop!"
So I'm gonna try to learn from learn from my mistakes on that one. I am gonna do two cups
here, my paints are all mixed with gloss medium varnish and floetrol, US floetrol. The color
combination that I'm most excited about is this one right here. I'm not going to layer them beside
each other, but this color combination just makes my eyes happy. So I did add into this one a reddish
orange color and it's to dry a little bit darker because the floetrol
makes them lighter when wet, but then it dries transparent so the colors will darken back up to the original
color that they were. It's like a milky white substance when it's wet, if you haven't worked
with it before. I'm sure most of you have. I'll tell you about the colors as
I start. and I'm going to layer differently in each cup. so in the first cup I'm going to layer
lime green first i made that lime green out of a yellow green and out of a middle green
by Amsterdam. this color is called "Rose Mader" it's gorgeous. all right
then i'm going hmm now what do i do i think do i want to separate those i think maybe i'll
start with this cup because this may be easier to layer
i'm gonna go with the red next
trying to pour down the side so that they'll sit on top of each other
and then i'm gonna leave them over here so that i know which
do i want to go that red right next to the green maybe not maybe i'll go with this
and then i had this purple maybe i'll just do the tiniest bit but i i'm not like
loving the purple in it as much because it really darkens it up but i think i'm gonna go
my lime green next and then i'll just go in this order again i'm really debating
switching and going with this green next to the might as well try right what can it hurt
i said i didn't want to layer those two together and i ended up doing it
that's why i should have swapped this too but that's okay let's see what happens
all right and i think i wonder if i should finish with this red
or maybe i'll finish with the green actually
dang i don't know because there's going to be a lot of green in
not a lot but the center color will be green in this one i'm just rambling to you guys at
this point just put a little bit more green in the bottom okay so now i have to think about
what i want to do for this one i think i'm going to go blue next to green in this side
and then i'll go
with the rose mater then with the turquoise those colors are gorgeous right next to each other
then maybe with the red
maybe a little bit of purple
everybody always says how did you layer your cup and i can't ever remember
because i do it just like this i'm like maybe i'll do that i don't know but it really does
matter for the aesthetic of how the painting is going to look um you have to think about how
the colors are going to blend together there's like a lot that actually goes into it but half
the time i'm just like let's just wing it and see what happens um so purple was that my last color
i think so i have lime green turquoise red blue rosemater yep so i'm gonna go back to lime green
then i'm going to go to the blue again i'm just hoping this one's going to come out in super fun
funky tropical like colors and the other ones that i did for her were uh with the
blow dryer and so she wanted like three different looking paintings
with kind of similar colors but i could change them up if i wanted so i think i'll finish again
with that on the top there we go fingers crossed everyone for me that i have enough restraint
i'm like giggling at myself because i never do all right so i'm going to pour
i'm going to pour them both kind of in the center yeah see i knew that i wouldn't like
that purple next to the lime green but i'm glad that's going to be kind of poured off
i'm circling back and forth
because i want different colors to be on either side of the ring
and if you just poured in one direction you would have most of your if you're not using a split cup
most of your colors will come out of one side
and not the other so that's why i kind of rotate clockwise versus counterclockwise
and
okay i like the addition of the reddit really brightened it up the other one that i did
it didn't have the red and maybe i'll show you at the end
okay so this one i think i'm gonna pour it out this way actually and i'm gonna
pour them over each other just a little bit oh i did not like how that happened
i am glad i'm wrecking this though
a lot of pink in the middle
with not a ton of colors to
combat that to contrast it combat were we gonna be acrylic poor fighting
okay so that make it wrecked a little bit more i'm missing the green in that one
the trials and tribulations of an acrylic poor artist
all right so let me go ahead and i'm gonna start let me torch first
the middle is always what i want to try to work on first
to bring everything kind of together
i'm going to bring some of the rings around this way
and i can tell this is going to be a big section of pink and that's what happened with the green
in the last one so while this is still kind of like this i'm gonna try to run some of those
colors down through there break that part up a little bit i love this over here and it's gonna
it's gonna come off i actually really like that red and that green together
now i'm going to take this and just kind of draw outward a little bit
across
this one i like what's going on here but again i feel like
so
i feel like this whole section is going to be too pink
and i feel like this section is kind of like spider webby and i didn't want that
i might do the same thing right there
okay i'm gonna stretch this out see how it goes
if anything i can because i like this side better
i can stretch this down here so i'm going to stretch this first because if i want to pour
a lot of it off and then have this be the focal point i can do that so
what i'm going to do first is just wiggle
the paints back and forth down the canvas and just stretch them
out a little bit trying not to pour off too much at one time but just to kind of cover the canvas
i'm watching where the weight of the paint is and now i'm going to start to flow it down there
and see because see how i because i went this way first this is all stretching out and then
this will stretch back out but i'll be able to gauge how much of this i want basically
because i started down here first wow that is amazing i hope i don't lose that
it's really close to the edge though so
this one doesn't have one of those little stretcher bars underneath it because it's so tiny
and um so like i have the potential of it like of dropping the entire thing basically
i'll worry about my edges in a little bit
not gonna focus on that this is actually this stretched out to be gorgeous
there is so much depth in that section right there wow all right
whenever i have gloss medium in there it makes my
my stance stick to the canvas a little bit oh that is just gorgeous i don't know where that came from
right there i may have to try to touch that up because i don't like what's happening right there
oh well i learned my lesson the last time if there's i mean this is just it's a lot though
okay that's better i just didn't like that one piece that was like
coming right up there okay last corner to stretch to i'm really excited about this
i may get the back a little bit dirty sorry about that rita that's love
okay last side down here i don't want all my green to go off either oh but i'm gonna lose that red
okay
wow this is a design i like i'm going to stretch it back this way just a little bit
i am absolutely in love with this one i'm so glad i did this again
oh i'm not touching it let me take you in for a close up i cannot be happier
there are so many details
the red was just the tiniest pop of color that kept it bright
i was really worried about this down here but even though it's pink and purple you can see all
the details that are in it and that's that right there is that tiny little strip it looks yellow
but that's green so there you have it really happy all right i'll show you what it looks like dry.
okay so here this one is and i knew that this was going to dry dark but my camera makes it
even darker so you can see there is still a lot of detail in there it's just my camera is not picking
it up so when i step back like that it looks super dark but it's actually this color in the light
but look at those rings
those swirls
that is such a festive little part right there so many colors i really like it
so there it is something fun just explore have fun
I hope everyone is doing all right out there thank you so much for continuing along
this journey with me I appreciate you all thank you for watching! happy painting! bye!
