hi everyone! let's do something fun tonight. i'm going to be doing a two canvas swipe with
Australian floetrol and i am going to be using a beautiful navy blue base that i made.
this is part of my metallic swipe series and this is where i start adding in the colors.
so my first color is gonna be turquoise green! i'm gonna use the same copper
bronze color and the same gold color and the dark base and i'm just gonna
swipe my happy little heart away! so hope that you enjoy the video. let's paint!
all right hello everyone! i am back with my metallic swipe series i made this super cool dark
blue base it's just a navy color it's with black and phthalo blue and it is absolutely gorgeous and
it's gonna dry almost black. you're gonna look at it and think is that black or is it another color?
so i'm gonna pour a big puddle here i want enough that i'll be able to stretch that out on both.
and then i'm going to pop the air bubbles stretch these out a little bit pour my
colors and then i might swipe a couple times on each one to create a diptych
i can't tell if those are bubbles are you bubbles
or if it's an actual piece of something well that was an actual piece of something
maybe that one is too
all right and then here
and as i stretch it out i'm gonna pop the air bubbles again whenever you're mixing
gloss medium in it tends to have a little bit more air bubbles and be a little bit
stickier just stretching it out just a little bit
again i'm wondering
oh those are air bubbles okay so let me stretch this one out
just a hair you can see my paint moves pretty freely but it's still thick
okay let's get going here pop the air bubbles in there
i didn't even have to put flame the air actually popped those air bubbles there
oh
if you can't laugh at yourself i don't know like whatever so my color i said originally i had just
been using these two colors i am going to start adding in a color and my first color to add in is
going to be turquoise so this is like a midnight blue and then the gold the bronze or copper bronze
and the turquoise it's actually a turquoise green so i'm gonna start like i usually do with my gold
a little line in my gold and i'm going to do another one up here
and these are 12 by 16 inch canvases
so i really want to start kind of closer so that i don't stretch it all out
okay that is enough there now i'm going to come in with my
bronze color
and you don't need a ton of this paint at all and i'll have all my pouring mediums
down below but it's the same mixture that i've been using for these and i'm leaving
space because i know that i'm going to swipe up this one maybe squiggle this one down through
so i'm leaving a little bit of space to like work with them
wow that color is so pretty these are like very earthy colors to me
my husband's wheeling in the trash can
um do i want any more do i want to layer one more time i honestly think that's enough
so now i'm going to take my mixture of Amsterdam white and Australian floetrol. y'all
i almost spilled that! i mean that is right on par for me.
like you would think i would leave a little bit to the imagination like is she gonna spill something
okay so i'm gonna take my spatula get a good layer of paint on it
must be like the suspense like what's she gonna do is she gonna spill it
and then i am just going to start over here
and swipe on through oh that is gorgeous
gore just all right for the next swipe on down to this
i'm end swipe this one
and i'm gonna come back through it oh i don't like that
okay we'll see how that comes out i didn't really like that as i swiped through that way but
the cells popped up anyway but i have my small spatula i may go through it again or
i may draw some like little lines i'm going to save this part for my small spatula too
these are smaller canvases so i probably should have used my small spatula to start
whoa what is that that is gorgeous i mean i know what it is but it's gorgeous
okay here we go
swiping on down through this way
turning a corner here and ending over there we'll see how that stretches out
last one
up there now i am going to take this little maybe i'll do it with my my mini spatula
oh i need to clean these off okay so i'm just going to draw some little
because all these are going to come off anyway but just in case they don't
i want them to be interesting all right and then i'm going to i'm
going to fiddle with that part right there but first i'm going to swipe
down through that way love it
okay what to do with this last little bit that i i didn't like my squiggly
that i did there but i might just swipe straight on down through there
back off the side how about that
and yes i'm like arguing with myself for nothing
that will go off the side so i'm not worried about it and that will go off the side
all right let me move all this stuff out of the way
oh i almost dropped that see the paint gets on the side of the cup it gets
you know see what had happened was the paint is on the side of the cup it
grabs my hand i don't know how a cup can grab my hand but you know what i mean all right let me
my lights are about to go out in here i need to buy new lights i hope they don't go out while i'm
painting all right i'm gonna stretch these out i think they're really pretty as is oh my goodness
i don't want to get them on each other and i don't want to lose
look at that
i could stop right there and be happy this is gorgeous
let me flip it on around so that you can see it as i tilt my corners i'll get in a little bit
i'm not used to working on such small canvases
oh i don't want a lot of that to go off the side come back
oh and i don't want to drip it on there either
yes oh it's so pretty oh i'm dripping everywhere all right i'll get my corners i'm not worried
about it because it's a solid color i'll come back in let's stretch this one out so you've always got
to decide where do you want to stretch first and i think this corner because i didn't quite
oh look there was a big chunk of something in there that's why that's why look at that
okay so now i've lost some of that design my paint's all the way up there but i'm
gonna work it down to this edge first and then bring it back and it will stretch all that out
let me i forgot that you guys are there so let me
i definitely like the composition of this one better but let's just see
how this one stretches out because you can always manipulate it a little bit as well
so let me just get it over to this corner first
and then bring it back
i like these honestly it's two separate paintings this is stunning
this one i did a little bit too close to the
to the edge but i wonder i don't think i want to mess with it
anymore because i'm going to be moving the paint on all sides so if i tr
if i try to move i'm going to drip if i try to move this i'm going to drip i know it i know it
if i try to move this over here to this side this is also going to shift
and i'm in love with that and i don't want to touch it so i feel like this is one that just
it is what it is
and i don't know how i want them to be i feel like
oh i don't want to touch them
oh i just swiped my entire hand on that side over there oh good it was on a corner
but i really like that one the other way i don't know i'll play with it
the only thing i'm thinking i might do you guys are gonna be so mad at me let's drag this
just to connect this a little bit more
i'm not touching it anymore
yes i'm gonna leave this be
i am putting my foot down to myself all right let me get my corners together and finish on my edges
and then i will show you the wet results i almost forgot to show these to you wet
look at that
and this is the one that i didn't like as much but i still love it
and then this one over here that is my favorite
love this color combination together
but all right i will show them to you dry okay so i decided that i actually like the composition
this way because i've got that traveling up there and i've got this swoosh down here so
it's not exactly the way you saw me make it in the video but man oh man let me take you in
look at that
i love it
i'm so excited about it i'm definitely gonna do more two canvas swipes maybe even three
canvas swipes to really get i feel like just using
you know multiple canvases really makes a statement if it's done right
ah love it i hope that you enjoyed the video thank you so much for watching! happy painting! bye
