okay everybody i got to thinking. i normally only swipe
with one base color or two base colors. i just did a color split swipe. but why couldn't i do it with multiple colors?
i've done it with a ring pour as the backdrop, why couldn't i do just splotches of color and then
instead of swiping with multiple colors, why not just swipe with white? almost like
like the lacing of ocean waves. so that's what i'm gonna do. i have a lot of
blues i have a lot of leftover blues too. so i'm basically gonna puddle pour these just straight
puddles swipe through them a little bit just with the palette knife blend them together
and then swipe through them with white and stretch it out in my head
i always say this in my head it works so i'm going to start with some puddles this does not
have to be anything you know spectacular to begin with i'm just pouring the puddles out
and what a great way to use leftover paints to experiment sometimes my experiments work out
sometimes they work out sometimes they don't
that is okay now i really like this green this turquoise green but i don't have a lot of it
so i'm gonna add this next to make sure that i get it
i'm to put it in the center of the canvas where i want it all right now i've got my dark paynes gray
almost like a little pattern here
um i'm trying to like separate them and keep in mind where my others will be
so like i have these two touching there
all right my next color phthalo blue and these paints are just my regular mixture of flotrol
gloss medium varnish from jerry's arterama people ask me all the time about this product it is
i use it as a medium not a varnish i still use liquitex gloss varnish
as my actual varnish for the paintings because it has really good protection
from uv light from fading from dust so i still use that okay now i'm going to do my light color
i didn't really save a ton of room and i'm using this gigantic chunk
and this is probably way too much paint at this point
for a little bit okay it already sunk in okay i think that's enough so now i'm gonna take just
my small palette knife and just kind of go through it and then i'm going to swipe it with just white
and i also have an idea to do it looks like there's something in there i also have an idea
to do um an open cup with the australian flow troll so i'm gonna try that as well i've been
getting like all these ideas lately i love it okay so i'm just gonna swipe on through kind of blend
blend these colors a little bit
doesn't have to be much
okay erect puddle pour right like the old school mellie d design okay so now i'm gonna take my
white and i'm just gonna swipe through it it's gonna look almost like i think kind of like a
ring pour but just a different way to do it and i'm gonna try to be deliberate with my swipes
so i'm going to come through here and i'm really just looking for the white
to interact with all those blues
wow
love it
okay
oh i almost dripped in my white oh
this is really i am loving this
i think i want i don't know i feel like i kind of want to swipe like all the way through this
painting because i love the design that's happening oh i got blue and my white oh well
okay i'm like
it's like holding my breath
okay
the drips that are happening on the table right now are phenomenal
this i didn't like this one little
so i'm just going to drag that on through there i am going to take my spot
i can't say it i can't say my small spatula i'm just gonna blend that blue on into that white geez
and come through i think i'm gonna start here with a large chunk of white there and i dug the spatula
through the paint so that i would move the design but not swipe over that part necessarily because
i actually want to drag up through there i want that part i want it to kind of swoosh
i am liking this it's a little bit different than the
regular just one color base or two color base and then swiping through with a bunch of colors
you drag the colors down and use those as your base
okay one more and i think i'm gonna come up through here
love it i actually wish i had more of this through there that turquoise man
gorgeous okay now i'm gonna get this out of the way and then i'm gonna stretch it out okay
i normally say wish me luck
but i'm in love with this one already
i knew that this one was gonna stretch out to be exactly what i wanted
and i had a big commission and i think it probably would have worked out better
to do it this way honestly it's a lot of paint on there kind of thick
i am gonna try to take some of this color
i think i do better with running my finger along it along it
i like that motion
i think i'm gonna
finger painting is literally my favorite part of all of this
i like that part better now i am not touching the center
i'm done i'm done all right i'll take you down i'll show you i love it
very similar effect to see how you get the colors bleeding into one another
oh
trying to go slow
wow the sides
i love it all right i'll show you what it looks like dry
oh i love this one so let me see if i can get you
in on all the details
love the center stripe
super happy about this one and it does almost remind me of my ring pores but i got a little bit
more blocked color in it it almost looks like i had strips of color coming down each side
but man oh man i'm really happy with this one i hope that you enjoyed the video hopefully it
gave you some ideas to play around with! thank you so much for watching everyone! happy painting!
bye
