Hi everyone it's molly! welcome back to my channel, thank you for being here!
I'm excited because tonight is experiment time. so I was doing my Brightline series and
I ended up scraping one of my canvases. When I did , I scraped it into a puddle
the lacing that showed up there was amazing. So I thought, what if I started with a puddle
swiped through it scraped it over top of itself and then stretched it back out right? so
almost like a like a swiping scoop! I thought okay maybe we're going here
somewhere with this one. I don't know how it's going to turn out but I'm hoping that it's going
to be nice in my mind I see it I don't know if it'll come out on canvas but let's see let's paint
all right hello everyone! so this idea came to me when i was doing the black base
with a white swipe and i had to scoop the paint off because that didn't really work
that well but the white on the black the white base with the black swipe works much better
that's what i'm going to do tonight but when i scooped it off all the lacing that was on top
kind of morphed into this really cool design so i thought that's what i'm going to do swipe
the black over the white and rainbow colors and then i'm gonna scoop it all together and then
tilt it out i may be crazy this may completely not turn out but i hope that it does so i'm
gonna i saw a couple clumps that's okay i'm gonna get those out i'm gonna put a lot of white down
because i wanna make sure that i have enough so i'm gonna put a very good amount of white down
and i may stretch this out just a little bit so that i could just kind of scoop it back in
now i am a little bit concerned about my rainbow colors as well
and how they're going to mix
but i'll never know unless i try so i'm just gonna make sure i don't have anything in there
i know i saw something but i'll get it out later right
that still may not be enough white but i can put some on at the end as well so i've got my rainbow
colors over here but the first thing i'm gonna do so my pouring medium here is this is still in
the Brightline series so pouring medium here is floetrol and gloss medium and varnish uh 70 30
and then for all my colors and this base and then Australian floetrol and Amsterdam either black or
white i mean there's so many possibilities i can swipe with different colors i haven't even
explored doing other colors with these swipes yet and the original um Australian floetrol
swipes with her pouring medium is uh shelly art all right so i'm going to pour this down
and then i'm going to
let me spread this out just i'm very indecisive when i experiment. one person commented "oh that
was hard to watch" like, yeah watching someone come to a decision is difficult at times.
there we go i knew i saw you in there somewhere so i'm gonna just swipe a bunch of times with black
how cool is that
oh
i don't know why i've really been digging like just cellular designs lately
but i have been it's been really interesting.
gives your eye something a focal point to move across.
i should have swiped from the other side so that the black would be heavier up there but
i guess i'm missing it all together right so it's not going to matter
you can let me know in the comments if you've tried any of these techniques
tried something new even doesn't have to be something i'm doing
tell me what you're loving with art right now that is what i want to know
maybe it's something totally different have you been working more in abstract art or alcohol inks
maybe you haven't had time to paint i went through a period like that i'll do it this way
i'm just very lightly going over
top okay so i'm not going to swipe down through them this way
i don't know if i should scoop now
and i definitely feel like i need more paint maybe i'll just do a little bit more
all right let's just see what happens right this is how the series has been going
so i'm gonna swipe
leaving just a little bit of space and making these bigger because if i have
some thicker lines in there totally okay with it
all right so now i am going to swipe in black sticking with the the black swipe on this one
i hope this comes out in my head this looks so cool
does that ever happen to you and then you do
it and you're like yeah that is not what i was envisioning
okay well already that is so cool i love this what is that
oh my gosh all right i might just swipe this back
and i have an idea for some con controlled swipes as well where i stretch it out and
only swipe a certain area but i tell you what i'm going to do with this because i
i wish i had more of these along the other side for interest
i don't want to do it with a popsicle stick i don't get a very good
just moving those out to create a little bit more
this kind of looks cool just the way that it is
okay the moment of truth i uh i'm a little bit nervous to do this so
i'm just going to basically come right in through here
oh i really like this one i'm gonna come in through here and just kind of swipe scoop really
oh gosh oh that breaks my heart
oh what did i do
all right i've committed at this point oh my gosh oh my gosh
i've got a couple little dr you know what i'm just going with it
oh okay all right it's just paint right oh my gosh why am i freaking out
it's just paint
all right let's see how this goes i don't know i don't know okay all right
i hope that i have enough paint as well and i'm hoping that this
this design kind of stretches back out
after and it's going to be like minimal color i think i don't want to lose the whole rainbow
though ah i had to sacrifice that corner there because i'm hoping that this stretches back out to
the middle i knew that i needed more paint i knew that let me get something to wipe this off with
like i knew new knew that
but i've got some rivers of white coming through which i like
all right let's see i will never know i lost a lot of my purple off the side though that makes me sad
oh yep all the purple you probably saw it from the camera all the purple's right over here
let's see what happens when i stretch this out this way
minimalist look here instead of like bright and in your face and i'm hoping i'm gonna have to
like dip all the way down here i'm hoping to stretch some of that out down there i think
this technique has a lot of potential i just tilted too much at the beginning to the one side
i want all that off down there i want that to be kind of more like negative space
okay
i am not mad at it
what
my purple came back
i re i like it
huh
i will need to put some white in this corner there's none there
but i'm glad that i stopped tilting to that side
a few yellow dots here i am leaving this just the way that it is i think it's the
perfect pop of color with blocks of i i just i'm super happy
that you know this may not be for everyone but this almost looks like stained glass
going through here i am not touching this i'm gonna get this corner and put a little
bit of white on it and then i'm gonna show you what i got okay so here it is the big cells
and then the rivers of white that go through it i'm leaving those little dots of yellow
those got smushed when i swished or scooped whatever you want to call it
look at that
that looks like a mermaid's tail right there so from the way that you saw it
it kind of looked like a turkey dancing like a turkey standing up i don't know so i'm not
gonna do it this way i think i'm probably going to have the composition like that
but i don't know i'll see when it dries but i'll take you through the cells one more time
look at the gradient of color i just had to go for this one i just went for it i love it
yay all right you can let me know what you think and i'll show you the dried result
i really like this one it's got so okay so i had it the other way and it looked like a turkey
there's something or a chicken dancing or something so i spun it this way
and i i have some things that i would like to do different on the next one i'm definitely
doing another one of these so i am going to use more color this time definitely needed
more of my base color on there as well um but up here it looks like fish scales or mermaid
tail or something love the pop of color and i love how it kind of stayed in the shades of the rainbow
up here it's like tinted a purple color
love the white and the black lacing so really enjoyed this technique
and i think there are a ton of possibilities with this
well i hope that you enjoyed this video and i appreciate you watching me just play around and
have fun and i hope you're doing the same thanks for watching! happy painting! bye!
