all right hello everyone welcome back again thank you for being here I'm gonna be
experimenting tonight to try to get Pearl cells with thick paint I am using I had a mixture of
artist Loft white and my regular pouring medium gloss medium varnish 30 and 70 floetrol
when I got back from the classes I wanted to use the rest of that paint up and so I remember
I had to think back like what did I do I added more floetrol just to get a volume of it again
and I think maybe the mixture of the artist Loft and diluting it with the floetroleven more is
helping to create those cells I'm not sure because I haven't like super experimented with this yet
this is kind of the beginning of my journey with it and maybe somebody else has already I'm not
sure but I kind of realized it in the painting I think I'm going to call it uh sunset at midnight
um the painting that I did where I started to get those cells popping through because I put
that white up in those Corners so I'm going to do the straight pour tonight in the center and then
I'm going to put the white all around and see if I can get that effect I might leave maybe one corner
blank or maybe put a little bit of black there I haven't decided yet but I'm gonna go ahead and get
started on this one so again this is actually the same cup from the last port why is my hand shaking
did you see that this is the last cut it's my left hand my weak hand this is my strong hand
no no oh boy um this is the cup from my last pour that I did I just poured
more paints right back in it and I think I'm gonna
start right here and I am going to go in the center this time I'm gonna pour it really slow
and this is um artist Loft black pyro red I think it's Azo yellow medium
Hue with a little bit of orange added in and then I've got white
and that's it those are all the colors
okay here comes a little bit of the white
I'm actually really excited to see if this works because I've always done Pearl cells
like Bonnie Keane and MelyD Sarah Taylor Dwight and Michelle and Tara there's a ton of artists but
I do it very similar to them where I use very thin paints and Elyse Fournier I love her work
still and so I was kind of surprised that I'm getting them this much with very thick paint
oh these colors are so pretty together I don't know what it is about the colors of Fire
I love it though
and I have white in the center so I'll see if that creates any effects as well
every time I shift my hand I start to pour faster
trying to take my time I'm trying to breathe okay here comes the white
I want to take care with this part
it's not as predominant with the
yellow this time so I don't know how that's really going to turn out
breathe Molly Breeze
uh oh I don't know that I like what's happening there in the center
I think I'm gonna rain pour that last little bit
I don't know why I hold my breath I don't know but I do it's like to try to stay still I think
now again I kind of really like this I always get to this point
all right I'm gonna do it and I do think I'm gonna do like a tester
with one black corner so I do have a little bit of the black left over
I'm just gonna do that there and then when you're doing this you want to give the paint
enough time to be able to roll over the white so I'm going to put the white right up against it
and it's thick
okay that should be plenty so what I'm hoping will happen is the white will catch the canvas
the paints will roll over the and the white will stay on the canvas
the paint will roll over the white and then the Pearl cells will start to pop up
meanwhile oh I'm going to put my gloves on because of my nails
I never go get my nails done and me and my husband because I paint all the time like why but we're
gonna be going for a little weekend trip and I decided to paint them and then immediately I came
out and painted and I was scrubbing my nails for like 45 minutes trying to get all the paint off
no
no all right oh I'm gonna torch the white
all right
okay I do want to take care
with how this is gonna look
I don't know if it's gonna work I don't see any cells popping up
I'm just going to stretch that all the way across
so especially in Pearl paintings Pearl pours uh where you get like the little
white or multi-colored cells that pop through and it is starting to happen I can see it
um you really want to make sure that there is a thin layer and I don't mean thin paint but
a thin layer of paint on the canvas because you want to give it the best ability to try to pop
through if you have like extremely thick layers of paint on the canvas um and again I don't mean
thick paint I mean like a thick layer of paint it could be thin and still have a thick layer
um but if you do that then the cells potentially won't pop through as much
but I can see them starting I may even tilt this just a little bit more because
maybe the paint is a little bit thick right there I definitely don't want
the center to go off
and I really like that streak right here so I'm not going to
mess with that
but I don't know I mean I see a few of them coming through but maybe it was the fluke on the last
I mean I definitely see them starting to come through
so it might just be an issue not an issue but like it might just be that I need to thin them out just
a bit but this is honestly the part of art that I love when I start experimenting and trying
new things and experimenting with the chemistry behind it that's why I got into it really pouring
like a bonus that there's some pretty cool art that comes out of it too
all right I'm blabbering I'm gonna take you in and show you what this looks like now and
then I'll show you what it looks like dry okay so here it is and I will say I like the center
of this one but I think I like the other one I did better with the bright whites and yellow but
I'll take you in and I am starting to get the effect I don't think that much more will happen
or that it will grow like the cells will grow much more I think what's popped up is
is there I gave it a few minutes but you can see how they have the little Halo ring around them
as if I had used GAC 800 but I didn't let me see if I can find there like that
so I wonder how that's going to dry
and there's just a couple over there so my next experiment I might do the white with a
little more floetrol and maybe just a little bit more water and less paint in the center
and I will see if that works all right I hope you're enjoying these experiments I certainly am
all right I'll show you how this one dries
okay I don't know which one I like better I love the yellow center of the other one I
did the one that I'm calling um oh uh sunset at midnight but this one the lines are much
more intricate and the center is softer and I really like the feel of that too
so I'm gonna keep playing I think my next one I'm gonna try to maybe go a little bit thinner
with the white see what happens there I am just loving this this is so much fun to experiment
all right you can let me know what you think I really enjoy this one look at that piece right
there wow look at that all right thank you all for watching! happy painting! bye
