hi everyone it's molly, welcome back to my channel thank you for being here! tonight is part three of
the painting places series that i was doing and it's going to be the desert. so i'm using some
oranges and some red and gold and even brown so we'll see how this one comes out i'm using
the same technique that i did on the other two i'll try to link them if you haven't seen them
at the end of the video or down in the description but it is a place uh painting for different places
that a client has been so here's to open the desert turns out all right let's paint
all right hello everyone we are back for the next in this kind of i guess you'd almost call it like
nature city series popping the air bubbles i just mixed these paints up so um if you haven't seen
it the other two that i've done i will try to remember to link them at the end of the video
um but and i don't know exactly in which order you'll see them but you should have seen um
the ocean and chicago and what this is this is a series of four 16 by 40 inch canvases for a client
and they wanted to simulate places they've been so they're doing the mountains they're doing
uh the beach the ocean they're doing the desert um which they kind of wanted like red rocks vegas
arizona type feel so i'm using reds and oranges um and then they wanted chicago and chicago
i was so excited about that color palette it was amazing um and each of them came from you know
like some type of picture or color palette we picked so i did mix up i'll show you my colors
really quick i did mix up a and it still has some air bubbles um a van dyke brown with gold in it
gold will be my accent on this one my metallic i mixed up um kind of a burnt orange with red
and orange cadmium orange this is uh amsterdam's uh it's either gold yellow or yellow gold with a
little bit of orange in it and y'all i just looked at my bottle of this and it says sky blue light
i have been calling it sky blue for like three years so yeah um and then i've got a little
bit of white and the blue it's funny how things kind of unfold because as i was doing these so
this you know the this is kind of like the those jagged big like red rocks
the brown obviously is in there and the gold but this was in the picture as the sky
and that same sky blue light has been in all of the other paintings and it's
really kind of what i think is going to tie them all together because they're
all such different color palettes so things kind of unfold just as they should sometimes
all right so i'm going to do that same blowout where i am not going to blow straight from the
center i'm going to blow it out and then kind of blow some pieces back
so that it's got some really good motion to it i am going to start with my brown
and i'm going to layer i'm gonna save a little bit and put a little bit on top i believe as well
now i think i will go with my light orange that i mixed up brown always scares me
but i'm hoping that it's just gonna like really pull this painting together and work
all right now i'm coming in with my
it never fails that that happens to me okay
and then then i think i'll come in i'll just drizzle some of the sky blue through there
or just put it all down on the canvas it's with it's way too much paint at this point
okay now i'm gonna come through with gold
and i really oh nope nope i was gonna say and i really am gonna
drizzle that one but i already just dumped a bunch right there
okay and this will end up probably being a really pretty like lighter brown color now
i'm going to come in with the white and i am going to i'm going to do it this time
you want to have enough paint on your canvas that you can blow some extra off if you want
and then i'm going to come back in i might regret this but i'm going to do some of the brown
again okay you want to be able to shift your composition if you want to blow it
a few more times do whatever you want to it so you want enough paint on the canvas
okay i am going to blow this out fingers crossed that the brown doesn't go
super muddy you know fingers crossed for me
i think this works
these colors
oh so first things first way too much paint on the canvas
i should have used the smaller cups that i used on the other one i'll show you what
color i end up getting off of my table because i didn't have to pick anything out of it either
second the little air bubble right there and that was just straight canvas um the colors phenomenal
the brown just enough contrast i was really worried because of the gold and the two oranges
and adding the white that it would just be white or like really light um but i am very happy with
the colors i just had one little thing i'll put you over here on the side so i don't scrape you up
uh the brown works i definitely have the colors that they were envisioning
the cells are great and i love the different blows in different directions
stunning piece super happy i mean i hope that they like it too but all right let me take you down let
me show you here is the color that this made it's got a ton of air bubbles so it's gonna have to
sit for a long time but it's like this terracotta caramel i couldn't have made this color if i tried
i would have never even thought to but there's my table i scraped it all up and that is going to go
i'm just gonna put a lid on it and that'll go in another painting it may even be the base for one
i don't know this color is very interesting i'll be excited to pick out some colors that go with it
okay so again it's very large so i have to take you up that way
the details in this one and the way it's going to dry
and my camera is showing it as really light but it's not there's just enough contrast
the gold is really pretty
that blue i'm so glad i added that it's perfect
the orange came through the brown didn't muddy
look at that corner
and look at this corner that's my favorite right there with the dark brown the bright orange
little tiny specks of the blue
yeah really happy all right so i will show you what it looks like dry all right next in line here
this is going with the rest of the series and i mean the details in this one
i can't even get them all in view it is amazing
all the lacing and the cells that popped up down here
super cool love love the colors and i just like how just kind of all over the place it is honestly
i have to stand back here get it all in frame so i will show you this one with the others
okay here they are so this one was Chicago this one is like the desert think las Vegas
like Arizona new Mexico and then this was the ocean and the last one is going to be i'll have to
do it inside probably because i can't fit it here but the last one will be like mountains in winter
all right thank you for watching everyone! happy painting! bye!
