hi everyone! it's molly! welcome back to my channel thank you for being here. i am going to be doing
the same colors that olga had in her swipe that she did while she was here in my studio.
i had the leftover paints i told her i loved the color combination that she did and i'll link her
channel down below. she did a swipe all the way across the canvas and it was me really teaching
her how i do these. so i am going to do two swipes down opposite corners in those beautiful yellows
and magentas and turquoise colors so i'm very excited! i loved the color combination. let's paint!
all right hello everyone so i was really inspired by olga's piece that she did while she was here
with the colors and i still have them left over. and i still have the black paint. so i'm going to
do it a little bit differently she had swiped all the way down through i'm going to swipe
uh kind of like i did for the midnight sky so i'm going to swipe the colors this way and then maybe
like reverse them and swipe them back this way this time so i'm going to start with my base now
i have been mixing just US floetrol and gloss medium varnish. the gloss medium varnish it
helps the paint dry well it gives it a glossy finish and the gloss part of it actually helps
create the cells when i swipe with the australian floetrol. now i am also going to be trying out US
floetrol and really diluting it. Lisa Marvin has done that before. and I see if that will
work as well with my pouring medium. so i have some extra experiments coming up soon stay tuned! so let me just pop
the air bubbles here i like doing i like stretching the paint out i don't like
stretching the entire thing and then swiping first but i do kind of level it just a little bit so
just glide it on along and that should be good i've got my little swipe here i've got my little
palette knife and i'm just gonna get to pouring so i think i'm gonna have one come this way and
then one come across this way and i had a lot of good recommendations as well for what i should
think i'm going to have swipe this way i think i'm going to have this one come acro
come across this way so i'm going to do one right here
and then i think i'll swipe it this way yeah okay i got it um so my next i had a recommendation for
burgundy as my next so i might make it a little bit of a metallic
but that is what i'm gonna do for my next uh metallic swipe series so the metallic swipe series
has been copper copper bronze and gold and then a different color
on a dark base and i have really really enjoyed making those
i decided to go with my orange next you don't need a ton of color for this
because the colors will swipe along and then they'll get stretched out
and they'll be perfect i am gonna go i think i'm gonna go with my
turquoise blue next turquoise green would be very pretty with this color combination as well okay
got that i might swipe down through i have to think about what i'm doing here
because see i should have started over here if i'm swiping that way
all right got purple and pink at both ends okay so palette knife and i am going to just
so here's flat i'm just going to lay it right there to swipe and just glide this part
straight along like that um so i'm going to do that here this way and then i was going to go
so if you're going to swipe down this way if i swiped here and off most of this would pour off
of this back edge so i am now going to swipe this way with it maybe on the next one i'll alternate
all right so let me get this mixture
is my australian flow troll and amsterdam white and it is just one part paint to three parts
australian flotrol sometimes maybe even a little bit more but everything is thick like really thick
so i'm going to i think i am going to just pour it along my stick
you want to get a good layer on there and then let it drip back into the cup
all right so my first if it drips in there that's okay
my first swipe i'm going to come along this way
you just want to glide it right on along
then you can just wipe the rest of that right on over there oh that is so pretty
and then i like to take a smaller little palette knife and kind of swirl those on around
perfect first one is done now
i'm gonna come back to the other side
so yeah i wish i had done it up
but here okay let's just we'll play around we'll see what's happening all right
i don't know why but i have the black guys black eyed peas song in my head let's get it poppin
definitely not what i said
oh my goodness this orange definitely doing an orange just an orange these two colors
oh that's gonna be really really pretty the ideas are flowing in my mind right now
okay so this one i'm gonna start it over here
i'm gonna swirl this one around
bring it to kind of meet that one up there
look at that extra line that i drug through there oh stunning love that
love that what ended up happening i can show you
is i got a little bit of paint up here on the palette knife and it ended up dragging
all the way through there and i love it not gonna mess with that i'm gonna just dip it on in
let it roll off
and then i think i'm just going to swipe a little tiny area
right through there
make sure to always wipe off your palette knife
that will go off the edge
because if you don't you're going to get whatever base color into your swipe colors
i even like just the white against the black there now hmm over here i'm not
going to do anything because probably this is going to come off the side
so i'm just going to swipe that together i'm going to drag that maybe on down here
this is why i've really been enjoying swipes so much because it is not just
move your hand across the the canvas you know it is literally thinking about what
composition you want to come out with at the end
okay so here and a lot of this again will go off the side so i'm not like super worried about it
i think that's going to be really cool i am in my mind i'm thinking this is going
to be i'm going to stretch this right here this portion right here because i feel like
this is going to be a big empty space but i really like the way this turned out and the yellow is
stunning in this one all right let me put this over here reuse all my pieces get these
out of the way i'm definitely just doing an orange and turquoise blue one for sure
i don't know if i have enough paint left yet but doing it all right
i'm gonna pour a little bit more on the corners to help it flow
oh i hate to get rid of that corner that is gorgeous
a little bit more on around
okay perfect and then because this is black you can literally scrape this off the table
and reuse it and it'll still be a dark color it doesn't matter
you want to torch these good and i've had people ask
you know i keep getting air bubbles sometimes you have to torch you know the air rises so sometimes
you have to torch two three four times before you can actually you know get all the air bubbles
out and i've had people say the air bubbles pop on their own with thick paint it is much
more difficult those air bubbles get trapped underneath and they will pop at the last second
when it's drying and you'll have a big hole a little pinhole in your painting all right so
i'm gonna i'm gonna tilt this way first back towards me
and the reason that i'm doing that is because i don't want to lose everything off that side
so i'm just going to tilt both of these sides and see i didn't want to lose all that there we go
i don't want to lose all that color either okay
this is a perfect composition let me get
my fingers under there i don't know why i'm tilting like that
oh this is exactly what i wanted
yes
yes yes ah
what do you think
i do feel like let me get my corners i do feel like
i kind of want this right there stretched that way a little bit
i'm just touching my hand and touching the paint and then touching the canvas and that
will literally cover the paint so thick that will cover
that area okay i'm going to try because i feel like i maybe want this is so big
okay i don't want all that to go off no i'm not gonna do it am i gonna do it
no i'm not gonna do it
i am leaving you alone
wow absolutely stunning i will take you in show you what this looks like super happy um hello
look at this
the yellow i feel like is what completely makes this and that is that line that i drug through it
wow
absolutely stunning i love the composition too
love that extra little bit there i think it's perfect and it drips right down the side
i am in love with this olga thanks for the color inspiration and thanks for
leaving the having leftovers love it all right i'll show you what it looks like dry
all right i know i probably say it a lot about my paintings and i'm sorry but i love it this one
olga great job on the colors if you are watching this because they were left over from your swipe
i am it looks so 3d under here and you know in in colors like this and when i was doing the rainbow
i was using green instead of turquoise green and i was using red instead of the magenta and man
or woman does that make a difference
it really just adds a pop of color and you can actually see
where the base dried matte and this is glossy and i actually really like that
so i'm not sure i normally varnish almost every single one of my paintings and i'm not
sure if i'm going to varnish this one i really like the contrast of the gloss and the matte
so i don't know i will have to see but i think it's really really cool
and i love the composition the two swipes from each corner it actually
gives it like there's a focal point right up there
all right well thank you for watching everyone! happy painting!
bye!
