hi everyone it's molly! welcome back to my art channel, thank you for being here. i'm going to
be going back to some super simple techniques and hopefully giving you a few tips and tricks about
how i do them so tonight i'm going to do a thick paint straight pour i've been doing a lot of thin
paint straight pours and i love how they come out but i wanted to go back to the basics with
this one for a thick paint straight pour and i'm doing it in beautiful ocean blue colors i'm using
up some of my leftover paints that i had for the big four foot by four foot piece that i did
i am toying around with a couple other ideas as well that hopefully you'll see
in some next videos that are going to be with some thick paint as well
hope you are enjoying all of this and kind of experimenting on your own and
you can let me know in the comments if you want to see any certain techniques
and if you are just enjoying this art form in general i appreciate you all as always let's paint
hi everyone i am going to do something with some leftover paints
i'm going to go ahead and get started um i'm gonna do just a good old-fashioned straight pour i
did when i did those two comparisons side by side of the straight pour in the wandering ring pour
um the straight pour i really love the little fingerling designs so i'm just gonna do one in
ocean blues tonight uh i'm this is my tribute kind of to sarah mack as well because she does
a lot of these uh straight pores she calls hers uh galaxy pores so i'm oh i have a hair on there
i'm gonna start these are all the leftover colors from that big four foot by four foot
ocean swipe and i'm gonna start with the dark color i normally do white in the middle um or
at the bottom i'm sorry and i'm going to do this blue color this payne's gray color a lot
of people ask about my payne's gray i use creative inspirations payne's gray because it almost looks
like prussian blue it is this beautiful dark deep rich blue color so next to that
i'm gonna put in my white and you can just pour straight down the side
just like that
now you could just pour it all crazy in there since it is a straight pour and just you know
don't worry about the layering as much um but i am going to layer them right on top of one another
you could even do a split where you pour it down each side that comes out with a really pretty
design as well
i'm gonna do my light blue
next these paints are pretty thick
oh i forgot my favorite color i had this metallic turquoise that i made oh man and i forgot it
do a little bit more white
i will end this off i think maybe with this aqua and then i'll use whatever is left to go around
now i contemplated and i might do this as well i contemplated doing like a ring pour right here
and then the straight pour so having a corner of it with a different design
i may do that on my next one if i have any paints left over and it looks like i will
all right here we go straight pour in the center now when you're doing a straight pour like this
you can do whatever design you want you could twist it a little bit to have your fingerlings
and your interesting part come out of a different place you want to take your time because that's
what's going to create that really cool design gonna twist a little bit here go this way
i'm getting kind of close and my paints are thick so that the layers are larger then if
you want smaller layers you just bring your cup up just a little bit and the stream is smaller
oh i don't know if i should finish this off with maybe like a little circle
well i answered my own question i did it i'm going to go back to fingerlings
back to circle
and then just empty the rest of the cup out slowly
still coming out
whew so i really like the dark color next to the bottom of the cup on this one normally
where you see this blue you would see white and sometimes that's not really what you're going for
this one the white will be my fingerlings i call them fingerlings it's these little projections
that are coming out here on the side that are created from jiggling the paint back and forth but
i really like this this way i like it with the dark on the bottom
oh i am really excited about this one so i'm just going to pour a little bit of paint
right around here
and so if you noticed what was on the top of my cup becomes these outer rings so white was my last
color and whatever is on the very bottom of this cup is what's going to be in your center so think
about your layering this may seem like a really simple technique but the way you move your hand
and the way you layer the colors in the cup is going to create the painting for you
oh man all right let's stretch this out oh and the other thing is i get this question
a lot i didn't paint my sides this time because thicker paint sticks to the sides of the canvas
way better than thin paint does so when it's thin semi-transparent or transparent paint
i paint the edges when it is thick paint doesn't really matter semi-transparent or tran or opaque
and um then i don't have to worry about that as much
oh this one's got a lot of paint on it already i probably didn't even need those
that outer rim but it's gonna help it's gonna help it flow a little bit better
i need to peel my paint stands off the paint off of them okay got that side oh that's really pretty
i probably will i don't know i'm going to change the composition because i don't want it to be
in the center and i wish i twisted my hand just a little bit so that i could have a little bit more
design coming through there but we'll see how it stretches out
again this one was just leftover paint for fun so i'm gonna stretch that out over there
oh i like that it kept that little design on the side right there and
there's the tiniest bit of white peeping through okay
all right so whatever was on my edges
normally will get spilled off i've got a whole corner over here missing on all of the
i'm sides stretch that i really like that corner so i'm gonna keep that
and i think i'm gonna stretch it
right down to there
now i've got to take a second you always got to take a second and look at it
would you just look at it and you need to
i'm sorry i cracked myself up um you have to kind of look at your composition and see
what you like so i like that i may stretch i originally liked
this but i think i may stretch a little bit of that off on the side
i am going to go ahead and get my sides my corners now
and you can always just take your finger from underneath pick up a little paint that's the same
color and then just touch very lightly on the side but you want to have the same color or at least
semi same color to get your sides what do my sides look like over here so you just take a little bit
of the paint and then i just dab my finger right along got to get a good amount of it though
you can pick it up off the table as well and just right on along
so i think i'm going to turn i think i'm gonna turn
i don't know when i procrastinate i pop air bubbles
i don't know what i want to do here i feel like i want a little bit of this to come off
gotta see where the weight of my paint is okay it's still over there
i'm gonna stretch this back this way
see the weight of my paint is right over there in that corner so i'm going to bring it over and down
bring that off
and then
yeah i like that stretched out a little bit more
then i'm gonna take it down to that corner keep pushing that side off
bring it back oh no no no i want that whole corner off there now i will bring it back
and i'm gonna do one last time
i like this because now it looks a little bit more linear
oh i'm dripping it all over my foot
okay
i really like this
it is a different composition than what i started thinking it was going to look like
but i really like the composition of this now
there's a little bit of white i don't want to drip on there there's a little bit of white
that came through next oh i dripped i knew i was going to drip
i dripped okay so since this happened i will show you what to do in the moment
let me get my little stick
so so if this happens to you you can and i knew i was gonna do it i'm such a klutz you can either
tilt this off but i like this design so what i'm going to do is just touch with a stick
and draw it on down you could even do it with your finger
and it will do it very lightly
the other option is you could just leave it
but again none of these lines are like super straight
and i may fiddle with it a little bit more off camera
i may end up tilting it off it's going to make it a little bit lopsided i don't know let's see
maybe it was meant to be right you guys always yell at me and tell me i shouldn't try to fix
a bunch of stuff i should just let things be but this paint doesn't look like it's moving much more
let's see is it gonna go off i see it's starting to move there we go
maybe
it was meant to be
i don't mind that i'm wiping my hands
i don't mind that at all it's very pretty
all right i'm gonna take you down and show you
all right so here it is i'm gonna start up here the thing that i love about
thick paint straight pores are the lines
how interesting are all of those lines
it is unfortunate because i do feel look at that look at that
super interesting the way that the white bleeds into the blue
and i do i did like my composition a little bit better
before i tilted that part off and i knew i was gonna drip paint in it
but i think that's really cool almost looks like hands reaching up oh let me get
look at that reaching up to the sky
super cool and there's that little light part that was in the blue it's got a little bit of a glare
but yeah really like this one all right i'll show you how it dries
i really like the composition on this one
it looks super cool and it reminds me of just a person reaching upwards there
oh love all the lines in this one it looks shiny but i have not varnished it that is just from the
gloss medium that i use and it helps it dry super bright and super smooth and that is my
creative inspirations paint oh is that a hair oh phew i was like oh my gosh did that dry in there
look at these lines
so very cool and i'm really glad that i used the dark color here and didn't have the white as
the center because i think it looks really good this way all right well you can let me know what
you think i hope that you enjoyed this video thank you so much for watching! happy painting!
bye!
