all right hello everyone welcome back to my channel thank you for being here
I am going to be doing another deconstructed Bloom I fell in love with this when I did that
collaboration with Karen from waterfall acrylics so I will link her down below
as she is the inspiration for the deconstructed bloom I'm gonna do it in rainbow colors though
so I had the idea and she's done this before as well but it's just what I wanted to do I wanted
to ring the colors around and it's not quite the rainbow I have some extra I have literally
a ton of colors over here but I wanted to ring them around and do maybe two or three puddles
and blow them out and see if I could get kind of that gradient effect when I blow and I have black
and white cell activator so I might do black cell activator on one and white on the other
and see if it makes any difference too so I'm gonna go ahead and get started I am still using
Berta which I just I feel like I'm always behind on everything like everybody else uses
these things and then it's like you know I'm so far behind so a bunch of people use this little
hair dryer and I loved it for this technique I haven't tried it in a Dutch pour yet but I think
I'm gonna do that next maybe even today after this painting so I've mixed up some white this is
uh Amsterdam white actually with my uh thicker pouring medium because creative inspirations
which I like that that effect sometimes but creative Inspirations um in this technique
and in the swipe technique actually comes up through and creates these white cells because
it's really cell reactive and that's not always what I want so I'm trying Amsterdam today because
I know that that one doesn't normally react the same do I need to put more butane in my lighter
okay I think I am just gonna go for this so I am going to start kind of close to the center because
I'm going to blow them out so I'm going to start up here with red and I don't know if I should
alternate them and do my one puddle in rainbow and then my other puddle in the opposite rainbow
I think yeah let's do that
okay let's see if I could do this at the same time I don't know
okay so Violet here and I'm gonna go ringed around it
that's Rose matter and I'm gonna do this one
let me see if I can do this pouring out of this big cup
there then I'm gonna go Orange
here and I'm gonna do blue it's almost like a cool and warm color scheme right now but it will change
okay
and like I said Karen has basically done
everything you could do with the deconstructed Bloom but I am thinking to maybe do a couple
blooms and then swipe a couple through there as well see if that works okay where am I at here
I need green here I've now met them in the middle
green there yellow here
I'm pretty proud of myself
that I actually did these okay so now blue here
orange here
oh now I have to decide which one I do the white cell activator and which one I do the black cell
activator oh I totally lost okay lost where I was I can't talk to you and do this at the same time
hey where am I at here the last colors
um purple
this is like a really big ring of colors
and then red
so these are definitely going to get blown into each other which is fine okay I need your help
I feel like black on this one and white on this one
because I think the black will go nicer with the Reds and the
oranges here and the white will go nicer with the blues here
what are we thinking
I think I'm just gonna go for it
is that enough I don't know
this one
I hope this works maybe just a little bit more black
whew okay thank you
I haven't even been looking up at you I've been concentrating so much on
okay all right I'm trying to decide where I want to blow and what I want this to look
like but I guess with a deconstructed Bloom it makes itself right you have a concept but I'm
gonna stretch this so Berta I'm blowing on low and it has a little cool button
foreign
okay so I put that extra little bit of black down and that for sure is now puddled here and
I didn't get a ton of the purple coming through so if I do this again I will definitely know next
time to maybe not have so much of that black on there so let's see how the white one does
and I can also Blow instead of blowing with the blow dryer let's see
yeah there we go there we go got it
oh my kitty cat wants to come paint okay all right all right not hating it let's go the other side
thank you
foreign
okay a few things the red really took over on this side and I think it's the way that I
blew it so I'm not like super convinced that the white is worse than the black
but I definitely like the black side way better than I like the white side right now so when I
stretch this I might keep that in mind to try to stretch that side a little bit more off I love
this outer layer everything in here is beautiful and I like the little pops of the extra color
I'm I think this is beautiful as it is honestly all right I'm going to stretch this out
I'm going to see where the weight of the paint is first
yeah it's up here and I like this side the best oh you know what I might do
pour just a little bit of this white around here so that I don't have to like go crazy on my sides
oh I almost dropped it
okay
paints are a little bit thicker
flowing well save as much as possible whoa
I love it I love it I love it I am gonna drag this into there before I start stretching stuff out
so that they kind of meet I'm gonna try this I'm very sorry to you this
side I did not do you Justice by blowing you well but I'm in love with this side
wow wow wow okay gonna flip it on around
and take you on down to this side
love that corner so want to keep as much as possible now I'm going to bring it back
stretch out this side and I'm going to stretch the heck of it down this way
and try to stretch out that top
and get some of that red off of there I think I stretched too much
but that's okay because this was my first try at this
and now I know because I wanted to keep
and I kind of want that to go off the end I wanted to keep the look of the bloom up there
I wonder what I should do I wonder if I should layer these again
this has a ton of Interest anyway
I think I'm Gonna Leave it I think I'm Gonna Leave it and foreign
my double Bloom idea with the white cell activator
did not work and oh it was the way I layered them too
because whatever is on the center is going to get blown out and this red was the center there
stretch this a little bit more
back this way I have no idea if you can see in camera or not
straight down
okay very interesting this side gave me trouble and I had to stretch it all off and it stretched
out this part of the design I am going to try it again same colors but both layered with the
purple in the center and both with black cell activator all right so I'm going to take you
in show you all the funky details that are in this one and I'll show you it wet and dry
okay honestly I don't hate this painting I really it's not that bad I you know when I
was when I was pouring off that end I was like oh no but I don't mind it I think this has like
so many different interesting focal points some actual cells and it doesn't look like a swipe
I learned a lot with that blow dryer too though the purple is really interesting
this is like super fun this brings me back to the
days when I used to use like silicone and just have like a full cell painting
but yeah the blow dryer you definitely have to go
light above it to act like you're swiping the paints
super interesting though but I'll see how this one dries
alright I am actually glad I let this piece dry I did contemplate after turning the camera off
to look to scrape it and just start again but I will tell you the things that I love
about the piece love these little cells look at those rainbow cells that popped up right there
the composition is not what I wanted the I didn't blow the petals out the right way
not that there's a right way but the way I wanted I should say the white puddle I I didn't like as
much but look at the motion in this now so over here it actually mimics the colors that
are in this corner and it's just got that black and purple streak through it so this is just
one of those things that you just need to like sit on it and give it time and it grows on you
but I'm Gonna Keep playing I know exactly what I'm gonna do for the next video of this technique
um from Karen from waterfall acrylics and I am going to I think do the black cell
activator and I'm gonna do both puddles with the same colors around them but not too shabby
loving the colors all right thank you for watching and experimenting with me! happy painting! bye!
