hi everyone it's molly! If you are new to my channel I am an abstract artist here in south Florida.
If you are a returning viewer thank you so much for being here. I wanted to do something simple
and elegant tonight. I wanted to do three black canvases and I wanted to have a
pop of metallic in the center very similar to the way I did this painting behind me.
But I wanted it to be all black this time so not a split color but I just want to have something just
simple and elegant and striking. And that is what I hope I am going to go for tonight. Let us paint!
OK, hi everyone I wanted to do something very simple tonight so these are 18 by 24
inch panels. I got them from dick blick (art store) and they are canvases. I went ahead and painted the sides.
I just want to do white, silver, and gold in the middle so these are going to be all black and
that is it. I want it really simple and just very elegant. I am going to pour
i think in the middle and kind of blow them so we will see
Okay so let me just touch up the sides because if you don't run your
finger along those drips, they will stay in that shape and you'll be able to see them once the painting dries.
That is not a terrible thing but over over time I have tried to get better as an artist. I used to leave
my sides and the back the way they were, which was kind of messy. there is really honestly nothing wrong with that,
it is up to you. I have been to art shows where people have you know the backs are just as messy
and some people love it that way they think that that is showing that it's handmade art.
Others like it when everything is super neat, there is no wrong in that in either way.
okay I have got this part done. Some people asked as well why I use the blow dryer to spread the paint.
You do not have to use the blow dryer, you can use a spatula, some people do that. You can
pour it on there and tilt it as well. I use the blow dryer for a couple different reasons. I like to see how
my paint is spreading to make sure that i have the right consistency. It gives me an even layer
over this so that my paints will flow well when i blow them out. Sometimes if I do it the other ways
i will end up with too little paint on the canvas or too much and then my colors will not move or
they will sink so this is just how i have found to do it do it how ever you want to do it is perfectly fine!
This is your art that you are making right? not mine! so okay i think I am gonna do kind of like
the other ones that i did that were inspired the color splits inspired by Rinske Douna. I
think i am going to do just very simple in the middle of these. they don't have to be
perfect because i'm going to blow both ways but i think i'll do white actually next
and then
go with a little bit of black
and then the gold
maybe the gold will be my finish on top
I have a lot of new and exciting things coming out! my paint stands are
almost ready! i will be showing those to you soon and i cannot wait. I am very excited, it's taken
me so long to get these done especially with everything that's going on right now here
in the US at least
but i cannot wait
to show you! I am very excited. so all right let me torch again i am just torching for air bubbles
which there were quite a few
okay let me blow this out just gonna be simple and elegant
oh my i really like this
i really really like it
ah will just look perfect on a white or gray wall room just as a
pop of color and the metallic i know is going to dry beautiful.
i was going to say i do not want to fiddle at all. i have one little place
that's right here that i think i'm just going to swipe off
and just add a little bit of black right in here i just wanted to break that up just a little bit
i love it yes okay let me show you
i think i'm in love
how beautiful but simple
so many cells
oh this is going to shine so i always show well most times i show the dirt look at that
the dried result so if you want to hang around
i will show you how this dries but i am in love with this piece it's really pretty to me
all right i'll show you the dried result
all right here they are i think they're beautiful see the gold the shimmer just really really pretty
something so simple just a couple colors and what i'm using here is the contrast
and that's really what's creating the statement so doesn't always have to be the colors even though
these colors are striking but could be contrast could be anything that really catches your eye
so something just simple simple and elegant
all right you so much! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. thank you for watching. Happy painting
bye!
