hi everyone it's molly! welcome back to my channel, thank you for being here.
i'm going to try something that i have never tried before. tonight i'm going to try to make
angel wings with a blow dryer. I had this idea and i've had it in my head for a while.
I just didn't know how to try it on canvas ..... i still don't know exactly how, so even if this
painting doesn't turn out i'm gonna use it as a learning experience. it's gonna be my first try.
so we'll just have to see how it goes. i have some exciting news as well!! i am participating
as a guest artist at the fluid art boutique and it is in my hometown, or at least close by, in Delray
Florida! i will link the information to the fluid art boutique. there are six other
amazing artists that are participating with me. it's COZ creations, waterfall acrylics,
mina from Mina Villegas art, there is Michelle Galli from Michelle's Grateful Creations
and we also have traveling in Erica Hughes. I hope i got everybody. but there's seven of us, so
make sure that you check out the website classes are on sale. and until September 10th you get a
little bit of a discount as well. so this is my first time participating in something so large.
and i'm really excited to meet these wonderful artists that i have known on video
for so long. so i hope to meet some of you as well and i cannot wait for that event. oh I
almost forgot to tell you it's going to be October 8th 9th and 10th in Delray. we're
using a beautiful, art museum as the venue. so i like i said i can't wait! so enough
talking, i'm gonna get to try these angel wings and keep your fingers crossed for me! let's paint!
all right hello everyone let's do something totally different i wanted to try to create
angel wings i'm gonna have it kind of flow up and then down and then meet here up
and then down and then meet here i may have to use a palette knife to kind of shape them but what
i'm doing i have amsterdam black here mixed with water and then i have amsterdam black and creative
inspirations black mixed with water then i have soho silver and winsor and newton silver
and these are all i'm mixing brands so that i can get cells and so that i can mix them with water
and then i've got amsterdam titanium white and water i'm going to pour the black bases and then
i'm going to start with a small puddle but i i think i'm gonna layer rings out because i want it
to get that feathered look as i blow out i don't know it worked in my head we'll see if it works
on canvas all right so i'm going to start with my black that is much thinner than
the thick paints that i was just using for some swipes and i'm going to blow that out
give it a good torch
if this works the possibilities are endless for this so wish me luck on that one
okay i as usual got paint everywhere all over my hands i'm just gonna tilt these just a little bit
to level out the paint and you'll see that some of it runs off because i do want
some hard edges here not hard but like i don't want it to be super soft and blend into the black
and when you don't want that when you want like crisper lines you want to have a thinner base
okay
this is good to get okay so now i need to picture
where i'm gonna start because i'm gonna blow up and then out so i think i'm gonna
start layering like really close in here i'm going to start with white
so i'm going to have to do this very gently
i feel like i've already messed up i've only got one drip on there okay
i mean like this has to be really delicate i should have used squeeze
bottles and you guys know me you know how i pour
okay all right now i'm gonna go
silver next
in my mind this works really well
i think i may go with white in between each layer
of these
you won't be able to see the black on the black base
but you'll be able to see what happens when i blow it over
okay silver here
i think maybe one more layer of white i need to get this one a little bit more symmetrical
so i'm going to blow this this way and then out and then down so now
do i do one more layer of silver maybe i do
again like i said in my head this worked out
okay i'm going to stop there this is an abstract piece shift like
okay all right so this part's gonna blow
so then this part i'm just gonna do whoops i'm gonna start right here just come straight down
maybe i'll just do it like this to keep it simple
they'll never be symmetrical
that's okay
how many do i have there for
oh i felt like i was holding my breath okay
come in silver
on this oh i caught that drip
that was like my wind for the week
i may go back in and add just a little bit more white
oh i didn't catch that drip but i'm going to add my black first
and again i'm adding black even though it's on a black base to see if i can get that feathered look
i have one extra strip there don't i i'll do it in white
i've had a lot of ideas in my head lately and none of them have worked out on canvas
but you gotta try you know
it's like skeleton hands right now i have my hair in the painting literally
it was gray
dang it all right let me blow this out
okay i am not hating this i'm just going to swoop this on up through there and through
there it's not quite symmetrical swipe just a little bit further down swipe just a little bit
further up you can take a little bit of the black paint too and just run it right through there
and then i wanted to kind of
i don't know i was picturing that more
i don't know i kind of like it
i can't tell yet i can't tell if i like it
um
i want that like feathered look
i don't know it's definitely abstract
it's actually more symmetrical than i thought it would be actually
i mean i really like it either way i don't know that it's quite giving me angel wings
i think next time i may just leave the black out completely but you know how the wings when you're
looking at them from behind they kind of scoop up and then they go out that's what i was going for
i love the details in it
i'm going to let this dry
and i'm going to think about
what i want to do for the next one i like it as an abstract piece by itself though
it's very very pretty
all right this was my first try i'm going to try again
let me show you what this looks like okay as an abstract piece i like it
here's
the cells i think what i need to do is put it in into squeeze bottles
leave out some of the black and look at that and then squeeze it through
but i was trying to get that shape at the top and then down
gosh those cell reactions are so pretty so i think i'll try this again
i'm gonna let it dry see what it looks like but i think i'm gonna try it again
with a few changes but i will show you what this looks like dry
man i've had a rough go at it with paintings not turning out and while this is a very
cool abstract piece and i love the silver and the white and the black it's just not
angel wings like i had wanted the shape is off it's just it didn't come out the way that i
wanted there's too much black in between here so i'm definitely going to try this again and i know
what i'm going to do next time i'm going to use squeeze bottles so that i can get a more feathered
effect i'm going to start at the bottom and blow out the bottom first and then move to the top
so that i can get a layered effect and let me turn these around because i think they
would actually be really cool in a different composition since it's not quite angel wings
i think that it could be really cool this way i think that that's super interesting
and then i also think that you could maybe twist them again and offset them one here and one down
lower and i think that that would work as well but again super abstract
i love the negative space i love the silver it's just
not quite angel wings so i'm gonna try it again i hope that you still enjoyed the video and learned
something i know i did for sure on this one but thank you for watching! happy painting! bye!
