hi everyone it's molly welcome back thanks for being! here this is take number two
with the colander. my goodness the other one
did not come out so well. so this time i am going to spin it and i will see if i can keep that
beautiful shape in the middle and i think that maybe i'll use just a little bit less paint so
that the center design once it spins out that it will stay in the center and i won't lose
all of the beautiful design that is around the side so let's see if this one works let's paint
all right hello everyone i am back for trial two of this larger colander pour i have my actual
spinner this time oh i hope i don't knock this paint over so i am going to be spinning
this one um i just have i don't want to take it apart now because i've just got it level like
semi-level and put together i have a cake spinner underneath and then this is a dick blick board
um that has like an a lip to it so even if it slides it won't slide off and then i can put
larger canvases on this so i have my colander here same one all you have to do is either wait
for it to dry and peel it out or you can take a paper towel and wipe the paint off so you do not
flush this down the sink do not wash this out um so i'm going to i'm just going to go for it again
and i want to make sure that i'm like semi in the middle here looking at both sides i think
i'm pretty good i think i would have had it if i had spun it out the last time but if you missed it
i ended up just fiddling and you know that's one that i'm gonna keep in my own house i think
so i have my cup of paint the last time i realized i put a little too much paint so i'm going to pour
this out and then see where i'm at and i may pour singular colors in but my pouring medium is mixed
with flotrol and gloss medium varnish about 50 50 and then one part paint to about three parts
medium for this one all right oop look almost messed it up at the beginning these are off my
table it's reusing my last little bits of plastic that i have here all right
so i'm going to go ahead and get started again it's kind of hard to get it started
because you want to like dip down into the colander itself because pouring
up high will really muddy your colors but you just kind of have to go for it
and i am going for it okay so see right here in the center i didn't even get any of that
out so what i'm gonna do is layer another cup and pour it directly in the center this time
so the outside part came from this first cup and i'm just gonna pour a little half cup okay
so my half cup ended up being like a full cup but i'm gonna pour this right in the center here
and right when that white starts to come out i'm gonna rotate it around both sides
so that i can get a pretty good amount of white in the center because that's what's going to create
the design is having that contrast it doesn't have to be white but that contrasting color
so i'm going to just pull upwards on this very slowly and let the colors sink through the holes
now i did notice that the center is a little bit smaller on this one and so i don't have oh
oh my goodness
i hope that this works out this one's beautiful so same thing i'm going to i'm not wrecking this one
but i'm just going to pop so each of these little holes you have to pop a little air bubble
that formed
and some extra air bubbles are popping along the way
i could torch that oh that's a big one all these other ones this is abso it looks like
a kaleidoscope that's why i called it that in the first place so this is a technique i did a long
time ago look at the colors in that cup i think i'm going to do a straight pour with my leftovers
in those colors because they are phenomenal this pink is rose mater let me get it
rose mater by soho and man let me tell you
this color is outstanding all right i see a lot of air bubbles so i'm just going to run over
all right okay i'm gonna spin this time let me make sure i don't knock anything over i feel like
i feel like it's gonna catch a little i don't know let's just oh let's just see what happens okay
i'm gonna start spinning slowly at first okay i can already tell it's coming off this side
and not that side so i'm gonna shift this just a little bit and then spend maybe the other way nope
because it's not level
i want to bring it back this way but i don't want to touch the center
okay i'll just let it go off that side and maybe i'll rotate the canvas
that's what i'll do i always got to troubleshoot you guys
i'll just let that side go off a little bit oh it is so pretty oh
wow
just hoping that along this side the drips
okay so maybe now so i know that this side is the side that goes off
and again if your spinner is not perfectly level this will happen so let me see now if i can spin
it and because the weight is right here hopefully it'll spin it off that side i don't know we'll see
is it working it's working sometimes you gotta improvise huh
so i'm just gonna keep doing that i'm gonna rotate this around because i am not messing this one
up love it love it love it i do want to make sure that i am kind of centered there again
okay it's kind of getting there
see it is slinging
this is why i didn't do this when i had a painting drying over there and one varnishing the last time
around these drips are amazing that are on this too all right so i'm gonna let me see let me
figure out where it's okay so i'm gonna rotate it this way gotta make shift y'all because i have not
bought i know i heard that erica hughes has a really good spinner and i know that jess winstrom
has one too i just haven't been spinning out a lot of stuff so i haven't really needed or bought
a new spinner but i'm definitely gonna get one and probably from one of those ladies to support them
and you can let me know if other people have spinners out on the market as well but
as you can see i mean this one doesn't work terrible
maybe makes you a little bit dizzy but okay the last piece will be to
flow it up there but now i got to figure out where i was i think i'll rotate it this way
and spin
okay i'm so excited this one worked out so good and if it's a little bit off center i don't care
the design is amazing all right here we go let's see if it's going off the right side there
yes stick my hand underneath to stop it
oh my goodness i hope nobody's dizzy for me doing this
okay so the last little bit is right there so i've been rotating this way
wow wow wow
all right hopefully the last little spins here
and it was a good amount of paint too
okay let's see did it cover that edge almost
almost but you know what it's a little bit off-center
i'm just gonna stretch it just the tiniest bit up that way oh and i see one lump i am gonna get
that out it may change the design but i really like this and i don't want it to dry that way
oh gosh it's spinning
there we go perfect it's a little bit off-center but honestly i'm okay with that
this was the last part right here i'm just gonna cover this side
and i may go back to the original place that i started
i did not take fully take the bottom of this one so i may twist this around one time
and just
see where it spins
i think i'm going to leave it i it's just going to be a little bit off-center
a little bit closer to the bottom on this side but the design is gorgeous i am not touching it all
right i'm going to take you in on this one show you what it looks like i'm really happy with it
i just wish just a tiny little bit
no i don't think i want to mess with it i think it i'm gonna leave it in all of its glory
and this is the way that it will hang yay let me show you so this is what the board looks like
once i'm done and i'll show you what i'm going to do with this leftover paint is just before
this dries get it while it's wet i'm just going to prime this board and i'm going to keep doing that
and then at some point in time when i decide that i'm not spinning on this anymore i can simply do
a resin piece over top of this so repurposing reusing at least until i get a good spinner
i'm just using my paddle brush here my liquitex paddle brush
and just painting it until there's no streaks get my hand in there
i can even brush some off the table
and there you go then this wood is gonna be sealed on in
and ready for a painting of some kind over top
how cool are the colors that are in that colander and the colors that are in this
cup i'm gonna do another pour with those but here you go so this is what it looks like
and again not perfectly symmetrical i need to level it out you know i
just get excited and want to paint so if you do this just make sure
that it's level but look
at that
how amazing is that
that makes me so happy
and i think like i said the light is there but oh i could spin it
and show you so i think that is the way
that it will hang look at these colors and the design i'm so happy
all right i'll show you what it looks like dry i am over the moon with this piece
i am so happy look at the designs that are in the center
that's that colander poor kaleidoscope design right
there the colors love it's got just a little bit of texture because my paints are so
thick and it's just the tiniest bit off-center and i do not care i really think it's cool all the
striations that are up there at the top and i kept those centered by spinning it out i'm telling you
i don't know if you'll ever see the video of the other one that i did but yeah it was not pleasant
all right well thank you everyone for watching hope that you enjoyed this
i am definitely gonna do a few more of these large canvas colander pours all right
thank you for watching! happy painting! bye!
