hi everybody welcome back to my channel thank you so much for being here. I am doing another
two foot by four foot painting I am using the same beautiful ocean blue colors but this time I wanted
to puddle the colors and then stretch them out after I swipe to really elongate the lacing if
you saw the one that I did prior to this uh which was the other two foot by four foot I stretched
out the multi-layered base first then I swiped and stretched it just the tiniest bit and it got to
keep the cells and lacing really kind of compact and offered a lot of negative space this time I
want less negative space and more kind of interest and swipes in this one so let's see if this one
turns out like the other one did I really like the other one so gosh should I already put on my
gloves I'm I'm so messy like I can just there's paint all over these tubs
all right so where do I want I think I'll do up here this time blue I don't have any more white
it's okay I'm just gonna do this one with just all Blues I do think the white added like a nice
kind of rest for the eyes but it's totally okay
I think I will just use up the rest of my blue here
I may use my spatula to spread that around a little bit yay I got rid of a whole container
I mean that makes me sad because I have to now mix a new container but
I do like when I get to use up all of a color
definitely want to make sure I have enough on my outer edges
so I may put a little bit more here
and so my swipe lines will be through here and I'll probably come out into there a little bit
let me just spread this one around
cover base a little more move that out okay all right I'm already messy
someone said as a comment
and I thought it was hilarious they said sometimes I feel like you're cooking and not painting
because I'm like maybe I'll just do a dab here a little bit here I don't know just a pinch of this
that tickled me
especially when it's true okay so I'm gonna start over here
with my colors and I just I mean I just doing this for long enough I know that
oh I had some blue in there that this is gonna stretch out the lacing quite a bit more
and I hope you'll still be able to see the negative space I mean you will but
like the different multi-colors of it so I think it'll be fine it'll be fine right
that's what I do to my husband tell me it's all going to be okay
and then he's always like well and I'm like tell me it's all gonna be okay
he's The Optimist in the family
swipe start right here in the other painting if you saw it I actually
ended up swiping with my regular white and no cells popped up and I was like oh my goodness
okay love it love it love it maybe I will take this opportunity
my small spatula
I was like really prepared today with like little napkins that I could wipe on
my small spatula and just create a little bit of interest in that Center
I know I'm doing a lot of Blues and metallics I'm going to be doing some rainbow as well but
I try to stick a little bit within a color theme for shows and then try to have a little bit of
variety on colors and size for some of the pieces but I try to pick a couple of different techniques
and a couple of different
oh I didn't want to stop there oh I guess it'll
stretch out but I wanted to go like why did my hands stop right there
so I try to have a couple of different sizes couple of different Techni not couple like
multiple techniques and then colors the worst is when someone comes up to you and they're like I
want exactly this it's not the worst but do you have it in this color in the back and I'm like no
because it's really hard to get the commission not hard but like it's
more difficult to get the commission after the fact and have them pay for
it now then if you just had it and they bought it right then and there
Payne's gripe Russian blue mix man okay I'm loving loving it really pretty
okay I am gonna do I think one swipe one small swipe through there so I'm just gonna get some
on the very front of the paddle I'm just gonna start swiping right here
this one I will fade out into there okay
so now on this side I'm gonna start over here
and I'm going to swipe back down the other way did I already pour this one nope okay
going back in with my big one
with my big lady here I'm a big lady palette knife
okay
slow start
trying to get all the colors
oh I like that oh I did that little spin thing there oh I do want that's
going to go off the edge I'm not worried I love that strip of blue that's in there
I feel like maybe I want one extra in there of just the lighter blue colors
okay
all right love do they need to be connected here is the question
do I need to connect those maybe I'll just take white again with no swipe no color underneath it
will be a baby blue
all right that's probably going to get poured off the edge anyway
and do I want one up here I think I do
I think I do
this has a lot of blue on it I might throw I might tilt that into the trash but let's see
how it comes out with that blue on there okay so I think I'm just going to swipe upwards here
right around to that corner all right now I'm going to stretch this one out and see
if there's a difference and hopefully they'll both be dry maybe I can show them side by side
and you can let me know which one you like I hope you like both but okay gloves are going back on
yes they are
hey I think this one's gonna be nice
I think I have enough paint I am worried about this side but maybe I'll just go
ahead and prophylactically put a little bit more right there
to hit that corner and
maybe I should do the same thing over here and if there's leftovers great okay
see a piece of something see a piece of something
okay so I love this one and what I think I'm gonna do is try to stretch to this side
and then do a hard stretch over here and try to get some of that to come off that edge
but I'm going to have to go on the other side of the table for it I think
foreign
had to do a lot of stretching on this one but
it's tough I personally think
that I like this way better where it's tight in and then you stretch it out you have to
make sure that your cells don't get like super over stretched like they started to over stretch
right here I was trying to get it down to the end to come off because
that's the composition I wanted so I don't know
push my finger in here
I don't know I may fiddle with that part I may leave it alone
and just let it be organic same thing over here so you have to make sure you don't stretch your
cells out too much with this one especially working on the big canvas but I think overall
I think what it is is I like less negative space than more negative space so it's just going to
be a personal preference but I will take you in and let you see what this looks like and
I hope that you're enjoying these big canvases they may be a little bit harder to film and to
see I try to take you in on the close-ups so I'll take you in on the close-ups of this one
and then I will show you what it looks like dry and hopefully they both dry well so I
can show you both of them side by side if I remember all right let me show you
I am so excited about this one and I think it's because of that deep dark blue and again once
this dries you'll be able to see it better I have so many Reflections going on right now
and this is that area that I was talking about you can see that the colors kind of
weren't they didn't quite stay in their lacing but I'm Gonna Leave It
this section so pretty
but yeah here it is
and you'll be able to get the better picture when it dries so I will show you that next
okay so I definitely like it with
less negative space but stick around and I'll show you the two side by side and they do go together
I love how 3D the swipes look
these big canvases are so much fun to make
love that part down there and those extra little pieces really just added to the total
composition but all right let me show you what they look like with both of them side by side
I had to move all the way back here here they totally go together
so how cool is that can't get much closer and keep you in screen for the whole thing
you can see how big my shelves are and how big this is but they go together I love it
love it love it so hopefully somebody buys them as a pair when I do my follow-up Artie Gras video
I'll let you guys know but all right thank you so much for watching! happy painting! bye!
