hello, my creative friends, today I want to do
a chain pull butterfly I've got a lot of requests from you
to do chain and string pull techniques more often so
guys here we go this acrylic pouring technique is inspired by a designer
gemma she's also got a youtube channel and today instead of
adding my paint in lines to outline the butterfly I'm gonna add
it in drops let's see how that's gonna work and for
my negative space i want to go for black color
and for the colors of my butterfly let's keep it simple today
here I have aqua green, turquoise, and turquoise phthalo shade, all of my
colors are mixed with floetrol and water
please check out the description under this video for more information
including the chains that I'm using and other supplies and now let's pour
some paint
i don't think you guys gonna be able to read it but
harmony is my secret message for this piece
today I'm working on a 12 by 12 wooden panel
so I'm not going to be too worried about covering my edges
so today instead of creating lines that would shape the butterfly i'm actually
going to add my paint in drops so let's see how that will work
so as you might have guessed I'm using these chains
as a guidelines just to keep my butterfly a little more symmetrical
I'm not going to be swiping them so I have added most of my colors
and i think this is pretty cool but if i swipe right now the colors would
probably dry super dark against the black especially this
color because it's quite transparent so I don't want
my colors to disappear on black so I'm adding a drop of white to every
drop of color hopefully that will create a cool effect
a lot of contrast and help my colors stand out
and not disappear in the black
I'm gonna try to align my chain right outside of the color dots
not on them right out
this is so cool i love it
very different effect from
adding lines of colors and plus probably my dots are not super perfect and
symmetrical so this is why this is why it's not overly symmetrical
let's say that and other than that it looks really cool
okay so I want to remove some of this extra paint in the center
got a little too much black over here *shooot but still pretty cool maybe if I
torch it
all right guys I have messed it up a little bit
at some point, I saw that I have too much paint and it's gonna go
over the chain
so I had to stop and now I have this little
thing here not too worried about this part because I can
surely cover it
okay the last one left
trying to make it look the same kind of worked
a little bit nice so i did the same movement like a dip
movement and
it turned out looking quite close so now I'm going to remove all this excess
paint and work on the center
this effect looks a little bit like feather of the bird right let me know
what you think but since I have four I can't turn it into bird but
I like how it turned out from the drips rather than from the
lines okay let's continue working on the center just a little bit
all right my friends I finally feel like I can stop now
this is a butterfly that wants to be a bird one day right
I love this effect I definitely want to try it with
some other styles let me know if you would like to see it more
and thank you so much for watching talk to you in the comments and hope to
see you next video bye bye happy pouring
