hi everyone! it's molly! welcome back to my channel thank you for being here.
i am doing the next in the metallic swipe series tonight it's still going to be gold and bronze.
in the first painting that i did, i did a lot of negative space and a little bit of a swipe.
this time around, i'm doing a little bit of negative space and a large swipe. love the color
palette not changing that yet i have a couple more compositions that i'm going to try first but then
i'm going to be adding in a little bright pop of color to each of these to see how it plays so
maybe a red a blue i don't even know yellow maybe an orange to see how those colors play together
i love this series i love starting something new and you can run with it and so many ideas come to
you so i hope that you've been kind of liking switching up series and doing different things
you can always let me know in the comments i did want to give a shout out so there are a couple of
other artists that are doing amazing swipes right now and i wanted to give them a shout out and i'll
link them in my description below as well Shelee art is the first one, and i probably wouldn't have
even ever bought Australian floetrol if it wasn't for her, so i definitely wanted to give
her a shout out. she creates these beautiful blooms and that was her original technique.
and then i wanted to also give a shout out to Jessica Winterstrom, i originally found her on
instagram, but she just started a youtube so i'll link her youtube channel down below as well.
and then one a person that i saw on tik-tok that i found out has a youtube channel as
well, is the painted dreamer so i'm going to link them down below they do some beautiful
artwork so you can check them out all my affiliate links my description everything is down below a
lot of times people have questions for me and i'm okay to answer them but a lot of the information
can be found down below in the description box so thank you all so much for following me along
this journey thank you for subscribing for watching as long as you can i really
i can't say thank you enough to all of you so stop being mushy now let's paint
okay hello everyone so i am back i'm going to do another one of these metallic black
black base with metallic swipes i am going to i think my first pop of color i'm going to use and
the next one is red you can let me know what color you would like to see i'm going to link the video
because i explained kind of all of the paints and all the mixtures at the beginning of the last one
but i'm using gloss medium varnish and floetrol mixed 70 floetrol 30 gloss varnish for my pouring
medium for my colors and then for my swipe color i'm using Australian floetrol and Amsterdam white
one part paint to about i would say two to three part i didn't measure parts um
Australian floetrol i keep wanting to say Amsterdam.....Australian floetrol
so this so the last one i did was minimal with just a swipe kind of here and then the rest
was like negative space this time i'm going to do a lot of of metallic color and just one
corner of negative space so we'll see how that goes and then we'll move along i think to the
colors i am going to do one with the white base to see how these colors react as well and then
i'm going to do a ring port i have so many ideas when i start a new series i love it so i'm gonna
pour the black to start and my paints are thicker for this technique so that the design holds and
i'm gonna put a good amount right up there because that's where i'm gonna stretch and down here i'll
leave it a little bit more because my color will stretch down there so let me pop my air bubbles
and i'm going to start i'm just going to layer my colors i'm going
to layer a pretty good amount of the colors here
and i'm going to go a pretty far way up the canvas
gosh that gold when it mixes with those other colors is so pretty
one more layer of gold and then the swipe will carry the colors on along
maybe a little bit of gold down through there
okay let me get that over to the side now i do have my little cardboard piece here
and i'm going to put my white down i'm actually i wonder if i should just because i always end
up losing a bunch of it on there but i wonder if i should just do it like this
and then there'll be a big a bigger amount of white to swipe further
okay here we go oh that was a lot of white i hope this comes out okay
the slower you swipe the more you give the opportunity for those cells
to pop up and like i said i am going to swipe it all the way up here
it's a kind of harsh line there but i think that will get poured off
so i'm going to wipe that off
and sometimes i swipe across but i think on this one i think i'm just going to swipe straight
up the middle again
that's not really the middle but but i do wonder if i'm not going to start up there because i'll
have a big patch of white up there so i'm going to start on the side again i'm going to drip just
a little bit of that back in hope there's no black on oh yep there is there's black
on it whoops oh well now i'm going to start as close as i can back to this other line
and swipe on through there again very slow so that i can give an opportunity for those cells
to form and then i'm gonna swipe kind of up like that oh okay okay i am not mad at this one
very very pretty i don't know i may swipe a little bit i know when i stretch it out
whenever i do those little curlicues when i stretch them out they get a little wonky so
let me think about this one for a second i am going to kind of
this is going to pour off the edge but this right here i'm going to kind of
swipe the colors back through it a little bit
blend that on in
this is just in case they don't go off the side but i'm pretty sure they will
okay oh i'm dripping i had my hand down here my paint is like already dripping
all off the side okay i like where this is at
i think i'm gonna leave these patches in the middle i think i'm
i'm just gonna go for this one i'm gonna so you always have to think about where you're tilting
and where the weight of your paint is so all the weight of my paint is back here first
and i want this corner to stay negative space so i'm going to tilt this way first and then
i'm going to tilt over for my negative space and then down this way pretty sure
i say that maybe i'm not so sure but that's what i'm gonna do
yeah because i think this is the corner that i want to go off and
i want this corner to stretch back out so let's do that first
i'm going to stretch so the weight of the paint is right there so i'm going to come over
to this side up and then over
move that back
oh wow
loving this already
and then i almost just feel like maybe i should just like glide the paint over to that side but
i can always stretch this back a little bit more black paint right there just so
that it'll get to the side faster okay and then i'm going to tilt over there
oh yeah the paint is flowing smoothly now i'm going to come back down for this side
and take care with that corner because i want to keep that part
and then this corner over here i'm okay if that goes off i don't want that to go off there
okay i wanted to keep those beautiful cells that are down there
now i'm going to tilt back this way a little bit
stretch that back out now i will say if you don't have a good base on this
you are not going to be able to move these cells where you want and it's they're just
going to get completely wonky which if that's what you're going for like offset cells that's fine
but if you're really wanting them to kind of stay in this lacing and cell design then
i would definitely just make sure you have a good enough coat of the whatever base you're using on
there so i am really happy with this honestly the way that it is i love the negative space
corner i think i am done i'm gonna get my corners here and this corner is like okay good i had some
of the metallic color here because i didn't want it to just be like a black corner because there's
no black right there and i i just something in my mind no i'm not gonna do it something
in my mind tells me to drag this on down but i'm gonna leave this i'm really really happy with it
yes all right i'll take you down show you the wet result this one has such a cheetah is that
the right animal i think so like animal type feel to it so i'll take you over this one slowly
and i'll show you the dried result of course everybody always says i go too fast
but if i go too slow then i'm shaking the whole time
this is just two well technically it's four colors
my black and then my white swipe but this is just two colors
i can't wait to see what this and the other one look like dry
because the metallic is going to be amazing and it's almost like a
gradient effect right because i did let me see if i can i did the line the gold
the line the the bronze copper the gold the bronze the gold so a definite gradient effect there
super cool and i left that center because i feel like it gives it like a flow
focal point so this one is staying the way it is i'm really pleased
i will show you the dried result all right here she is i'll take you in oh i almost fell over
so here is the lacing you can see the shimmer and how that interacts there
if you go right up here you can see these amazing cells
same thing over on this side too
super duper cool i wish my camera picked it up well when i'm up close next to the shiny
like let me see if i can gotta all right that's about as good as it's gonna get
but super happy with the result all right so um check out my description box down below thank you
all so much for all your support and for watching and i just really really appreciate it and i hope
that you are having fun with whatever art piece you're working on whatever series you're working
on that is what it is all about all right so my next one is going to be like a swirly wispy
swipe in two directions still with bronze and gold so be on the lookout for that
one next hope you're enjoying the series thank you for watching! happy painting! bye!
