all right I am back! this is gonna be the last one I think, for now at least, using up
the leftovers from the two metallic paintings that I did when I did the uh uh side design one
with that center part I really wanted to do a thin paint straight pour so these are just mixed with
water I have that cell reactive one here I'm still debating whether or not I'm gonna use it but I'm
gonna get started I thought about what I wanted to do as well so a lot of times I'll put white in
the bottom but I think this time I'm gonna put my blue I think I'm gonna put like gold in the bottom
and I'm gonna do a really good amount of it because I'm gonna just drip the
colors down in there and they're gonna blend together a little bit
oh I hope that wasn't too much black right off the bat I drizzle in my white now
and
so the thing with these thin paint straight pours that I realized is that you don't want
to do a bunch of layers if you do a bunch of layers then the colors will get very muddy so
you just want to do a couple of times into the cup and then kind of be done with it
I'm going to finish this off with the rest of the black I didn't even need the other black
maybe I'll do it around the edges if I need to
and I'm gonna go ahead and get started oh do I want maybe just one more little
one more little thing of white okay so I'm gonna start pouring very gently
just waiting on my gold to come out I'm kind of
sloshing it around so that I can get some really pretty effects
okay
and then I feel like my bronze I don't know got like a little bit lost
and then I might just add
I don't know that that did anything haha
so my white still had air bubbles but
I'm I'm okay with it I don't think it looks that bad but you can either just touch your
finger if the white starts to kind of pop-up or any color really just because of air bubbles
you can just touch your hand before you stretch it out and it will get rid of those
there are actually some colors underneath here
I think this one's going to be very pretty when it stretches out I've got some cells
all right so let me do I am going to do this other black
or outside a little bit do I have any more of my good black first
all right I'll go with this black hopefully that all just gets pushed off the edges
these paints are super thin so you just want to kind of take your time and walk it to the edge
and by walk it I just mean like move your paints around there you go
bringing it back I really didn't need that black on the side so I hope that doesn't screw things up
and what I love about these is that they really just end up looking like
like Agate like some type of Stone
very simple technique
but with the right color combinations and the right kind of swirls in the middle I
think it's really pretty so I really like this one the first thing I'm noticing is that black
around the edges that's what I was worried about it's kind of eating away at the paint
on all of the sides I was worried about that there was actually a lot of paint left on here as well
but I'm okay I'm just gonna let this develop do its thing I'm glad I didn't put it in the cup
and then I'm going to touch up my sides I'll show you what this one looks like
reminds me of like a slice of wood
so here it's just when you do it with the thin paint it gives it just such a softness
I love how the white Blended together with the other colors
I like the tiny little bits of intricate cells that are starting to pop up like right there
love that red I'm so glad I added that uh copper
running through it now this is what I'm talking about on the sides you see that
that is from that black paint
I put around the edges and I should have known better because it happened
in the other metallic blowout that I did
and I am almost positive that that was a pre-mixed artist Loft and it just it doesn't do well
all right I will show you how this one dries
okay so here it is and I will say it is beautiful but let me tell you I really
messed up by putting that black on the outside and I will show you why look what happened
it just ate up all the paints around it and it even cracked and broke a little bit there
so definitely that artist Loft and water mixture that I had is a no go that is honestly why I use
Amsterdam it's consistent and I don't ever get any of these issues I had black in the painting
that dried perfectly it was what I put on the outside and I knew better like I knew better
so now I'm trying to decide what I want to do if I want to cut this off and use the center
or if I want to maybe try to put some gold leaf around the side and almost have it like the
window technique where I have like gold leaf around it I haven't decided yet I don't know
but the technique itself with the all metallics if I just hadn't put that black around it wow wow wow
I love it all right thank you for watching happy painting! bye!
