hi everyone it's molly welcome back to my channel! thank you for being here. i wanted to go big again
and i wanted to paint with these beautiful aqua turquoise
colors and a peach color. I wanted a gray background so that's what I'm going do.
i just i really hope the colors are bright on the canvas. let's paint
okay here we go again i am doing a three foot by three foot canvas i
pre-mixed my colors i did custom colors so i mixed a copper together from bronze and gold
i mixed almost like a turquoise blue and i used ultramarine violet with an aqua green
i made this beautiful like soft burnt orange color um i was really just kind of getting in the groove
and making things myself and i'm using a neutral gray from amsterdam as the base
it's got a little bit of a brownish undertone to it not much but it's a lot warmer than um
if you just mixed like white and black together so i thought that would go well with the orange
and the copper kind of undertones so i'm going to pour this out and i don't want to use too
much but you want to make sure that you have enough paint so i mixed it into these jugs
that have lids and then all i have to do is just put the lid on and i can use the rest
of the gray for another base coat but i have it if i need it and that's what's important
okay all right so let me i feel like i'm gonna need a little bit more on the edges don't want
too much though if you're having an issue with the saggy canvas brace the bottom with some cardboard
or you can um wet the canvas spray the canvas down on the back and let it dry or blow it dry with
heat and that will tighten it up a lot of these canvases have little slits in the back of them
you can actually use shims which are little wooden pieces to tap in there and it will secure and
tighten the canvas as well so there's multiple options there all right let me blow this out
okay
probably shouldn't paint with no shoes on so i'm just popping all the air bubbles
you know it's big when you
have to walk around all sides to torch um so a couple of things um it took me a while to
actually move the paint but when i'm even on large canvases i still used low but i put the can i put
the blow dryer almost perpendicular and super close sometimes i even scrape it because that
paint flow down when i push forward will actually move the paint in the direction i want it to go
so you'll just have to play with your blow dryer and see what speed works for you and exactly like
the angle that you need to be on the blow dryer depending on how hard the air is coming out
so for design i think i want to do a puddle here blow it out kind of big also puddle up there
blow it out and then maybe just a tiny little bit in the center
i think i'm going to start with my orange and this is that orange that i was talking
about it is gorgeous and so i'm gonna do i'm not gonna do like a circular puddle i don't
think i think i'm just gonna add more start in the center light and then add more as i go out
kind of like that oh wow the color is absolutely phenomenal on that gray look at that gorgeous wow
now i am going to go next with this turquoise and i am aware blue and orange do make brown
but i have actually done uh similar colors before and it makes this caramel brown color
i'm hoping it's very pretty that i think will go with this so i'm gonna do this one next
a little bit in the center more towards the outside all right
and then i went with i keep stepping on the plastic
and then i went with i wanted to go with this um
this beautiful dark blue uh prussian blue and i mixed in some creative inspirations pains gray
and mixing in that tiny little bit of creative inspirations and this metallic that i'm using
when i mix it with amsterdam brand it creates the craziest cells it's really really cool
i am going to add just a tiny bit of white for color that doesn't make any sense does it
to add white for color but it creates brighter colors instead of them all being kind of muted
and then gosh do i even want i'm only going to do a very small amount of copper in this
not a lot at all i'm very excited about this oh i hope it turns out so i'm going to blow this way
and then up that way and then just a tiny bit in the center oh these cells in the center
are phenomenal wow okay
yes
i'm a little nervous okay let's let's blow this out let's see what can i hurt right it's paint
i love it i think it's really really pretty i'm trying to decide if there's anything else that i
want to do to it it's just the tiniest bit off center up there and i love that i love it wow
gorgeous really really like it
like that it's kind of soft over here on the side and fades out i may add just a tiny bit
i'm thinking i'm thinking i think i'm gonna leave it
i think it's gorgeous
yes i think you are done oh it's gorgeous
all right let me show you
okay so here it is
i mean the details are just amazing and i really like see that's what i'm talking about
i added that white to that blue and see how it creates that beautiful color i know it doesn't
seem like adding white would brighten something up but it does it brightens the entire thing
i'll try to move you slow i'm sticking to the ground my feet are painted gray
absolutely beautiful so i'm gonna let this dry and i will show you what it looks like
i love this one i love the colors i mean the orange and the turquoise
and how bright and beautiful and shiny that copper is
i have my lights shining on it now so you can see just stunning
again i won't be able to get it all in frame for you but i'm gonna back out a little bit
there we go
i like the little soft edges i blew up there just add some more paint if you don't like it
i really wanted the composition to be a little offset
i really like it it's very very pretty to me
all right the details in here gosh that looks like it's on fire coming from my camera
all right let me back over this way
almost fell again all right
you can let me know what you think thanks for watching happy painting bye
