hi everyone it's molly welcome back to my channel thank you for being here. i had a request
for a commission she actually emailed me and had a whole schematic for it but it's
a color split in black and gray and she wanted some blues and she wanted to leave
the rest up to me so i think i'm going to brighten it up with some white a little bit
of silver and a little bit of purple for the pop and i'm actually using pebeo
iridescent blue as well this time i've never worked with it so let's see let's paint
all right hi everyone welcome back i am going to do
this color split today and i'm excited and nervous at the same time i will
tell you why i'm using pebeo's studio acrylic in iridescent blue and i've never used it before
and honestly it's it's a different consistency than my regular paints i'll say it was almost
like a little bit gummier because it says it's a high viscosity but it's not really
but i mixed a little bit of gac 800 in so for the rest of them i'm just using paint and water
they are amsterdam brand i am using a neutral gray and a black both are which opaque which i really
do like opaque colors for the background this tape doesn't really matter it is just my little
guide when i was painting to figure out because the lines are going to get blown through this
way um so she wants kind of an organic blow i don't really like not that it's wrong i
just don't normally like blow straight across i like to kind of go up and go down but any way
you want to do it is totally okay also when you are doing the outline i paint the sides because
even with opaque colors sometimes you don't get good coverage when the paints are very fluid
and so i like to paint the side so i don't have to worry about it but if you don't and you forget
all is not lost you can go back and paint your sides afterwards so don't worry about it
when i do it though make sure i make sure that i run my finger along this top edge because if
there's a caked up bit of paint there it will impede the paint flowing over the side so i'm
not talking let's get started i want to make sure that i've put the colors in the right place right
okay so i'm going to do that part here
there's my gray i've actually never used this gray before so one i hope i have enough
and two i do like the color it's very muted but i do like it all right let me give this a torch
oh i hope i have enough of that gray and then i'm going to blow this out
okay let's do the other side
hmm
well i must say i think i did pretty good there all right this looks beautiful already
so i think i'm going to
gotta think about this one this is always the tough part okay so i think i'm gonna start with
i think the blue will be a nice contrast through here on both sides
it's always a struggle to know when there's too much paint or too little paint so
i do have a darker blue i only think i'm gonna do a little bit of it because it's a payne's
grade prussian blue mix and it's almost like the black but i think oh i got a little bit of
silver in there what i'm going to do is drizzle just a tiny little bit of white through there
okay a little more than that
okay there we go because when i blow those colors are going to mix
beautifully together okay all right so next is going to come
iridescent blue i should have probably tried this in another painting first smaller one we'll see
how it reacts but you know living on the edge i guess now i'm gonna come in with my purple
and oh i haven't dropped anything yet i'm doing pretty good um then i'll come in
silver just a drizzle of silver just for a little bit of iridescence and sparkle
and then
i'll come back in with a little bit of white and she really wanted blue
so i think i'll finish it with the blue okay
i'll finish it with the dark blue don't know what do you think okay got all those out of the way
that iridescence that iridescent blue is already
when they spread like this i'm a little concerned but we'll see let's see may pop any air bubbles
all right so last little part pour just a little bit of extra gray down here to help it flow
because i'm going to blow i think up this way down this way
and like that for a little bit of gray up here
all right let's blow this out
sweater
i splattered a couple of places here which leads me to believe that one of my paints was
rather thin that i was using but if you guys get splatters all you do is just especially if it's a
dark color if it's a lighter color you may have to like scrape that part but if it's a darker
color i just touch it with my finger and a lot of them will go away but like this part right here
i think i'm gonna have to this is really pretty i like that it's
i like that it goes up and then comes down let me fix this piece right here
and then i think i'm gonna blow that away a little bit so i still had a lot of paint on there
so i can actually just touch that in right there it's like it
never happened well she'll know that it happened we should watch the video
and then this part right here not my super duper favorite
um so i might glow on this right here i just gotta get my hair out of my face
yeah open that up get some gray in there
i think i'm going to get
i wonder what this iridescent is going to look like
touching to get kind of the design that i want i really like how this is down here now
okay i'm gonna put a little bit of gray right here
wow that is really really pretty
this is really pretty as well not a super ton that i feel like i need to do in this section
up here i feel like
okay there we go opened that up a little bit to kind of connect on over there
open that up right there
and the last part i think i'll do is this right here but i'm gonna have
to do it off camera because i can't my other camera angle is in the way
there almost open that up
yeah there we go there we go
yes great wow
i think it's really really pretty oh i hope it dries this way i love when the petals come
through and the black shows i really really like this piece i hope that it dries well
it's already started to dry on the edges because it's hot here okay all right let
me fix this piece and then i will show you the wet result and i'll show you the drive result
oh my goodness i
really really like it so i will have to show you what that iridescent color looks like
once it dries but look at the details
it's kind of sitting on top i love the colors that you picked out kira
i fiddled a little bit in this corner because i just felt like i just wanted a little more gray
there and not so much blowout i didn't want them to be like matching and just the like
ring right there with the lightning cells around it it looks really organic i just really like it
hope she does too all right you guys i'll show you the dried result
all right here they are i think they're really pretty i like the composition of each of them
that pebeo iridescent blue i'm going to see if i can try oh there it is you can kind of see
it there it's just gorgeous and with that silver and those little pops of purple that are in there
it's really really pretty um i blew out and kept kind of fiddling with the upper part i love when
the gray gets blown into the colors or the base color i should say gets blown into them like that
i love the kind of organic cells and stuff that are in there and she likes it too which is a bonus
i love the gray and i'm gonna put a coat of liquitex gloss varnish on it to make those
iridescent colors pop a little bit more but you can really see it right there man that is pretty
but i love it hope you guys like it hope you enjoy thanks for watching, happy painting! bye
