hey guys today i'm going to be trying something new usually i like to stay in my comfort zone
my comfort zone is posca pens but yeah i thought i'd branch out give jelly gouache a try speaking
of branching out i wanted to make some christmas ornaments for my spooky tree to hang on the
branches so i'll be using jelly wash to paint those it looks very fun and colorful and goofy
right up my alley i wanted to try it out and see what all the hype is about
not sure if i'll fall in love with it my heart belongs to another
but we'll see i saw some people using a really cool giant gouache set but i didn't want to break
the treasury on it especially since this is my first time ever using jelly gouache so i grabbed
this kit instead magic fly it has great reviews and it's only like 20 bucks not bad i tried
opening it up i thought it was one of those boxes where you can take the top off so i kept violently
shaking it if all the paints weren't ruined already during the transport they sure are now
but yeah i figured it out after a couple hours
apparently the box opens from the side off to a great start you'd think my struggles with the
packaging would be over but of course not life doesn't work that way oh my god this thing is
really sealed the box is really snapped together you've got to go to the gym to open up this
one now i tried to make the unboxing of my jelly gouache palette as aesthetic as possible i guess
a little asr moment for you
you didn't even get it without us talking you need to actually stop here shut up
you didn't think so no i did i think i did it enough i don't think it's that exciting
that's some asmr one reason i wanted to try this was because of how bright the colors looked i've
seen a couple people paint on a canvas or paper with the jelly wash but i want to start decorating
my tree i don't have any ornaments up yet so i thought i could paint some of my own to start
out so that's why i got these two wood pieces i also grabbed this sign i wanted to make a little
christmassy sign out of it i love painting on wood i actually prefer it most times it's made of wood
sturdy stuff i like the quality
on metal and plastic sometimes even when you varnish it it still peels off i'd rather just
not deal with any of that so anyways i'll be painting on these three wood pieces today
i started off by gessoing the wood slices just to help the paint stick better prepping the wood is
necessary but a little boring luckily i had some entertainment why are you laughing one
why i demand to know these are gonna be these are gonna be hard to take out
it took a little time to unwrap all the paints but i sped it up for you guys
they're so goopy so beautiful especially this orange one i don't exactly remember
why i'm pointing at it but that must be why reminds me of autumn so majestic
since they are gonna be christmas ornaments i figured i'd go for a festive look on the
first one i know gouache is supposed to be like a mixture between watercolor and acrylic paint
it was pretty weird working with it because sometimes it kind of feels like you're working
with acrylic paint but then when you add a bit of water to it it acts a lot like watercolor and
spreads everywhere it was interesting to say the least it looks and feels a lot like acrylic paint
but acts more like watercolor if that makes any sense no or at least that's what i thought about
it i'm no jelly gouache expert obviously when i was painting with it it was kind of gloppy
it was weird because either it was too gloppy or too watery i couldn't get a good in-between
i think it's supposed to look a little textured and yeah it does in my winter night there's gonna
be a snowman so that's just what i'm painting right now oh no oh dear it's okay that's okay
it's not gonna be olaf more like frosty the snowman if he was melting and dying
why he's melting on a nice winter night i can't say for sure how long is this gonna take
but yeah that's what these swirls are i'm not going for a realistic look i never really do
that one i'm not very good at it and two i just think realism is kinda boring i tried adding some
more texture to it i didn't think it looked bad i think it looked okay it looks like snow
and that's what it's supposed to be obviously he wouldn't be very happy about the melting to death
thing so i tried to capture those feelings in this piece he's not looking all doom and
gloom more just numb to the pain this isn't his first rodeo i do think he looks pretty
evil with his claws and since it's christmas i figured i'd let it snow
speaking of christmas i got this box in the mail from sophie and toffee
i'm not sponsored or anything my friend jackie aka nerdy crafter was just nice enough to hook me up
thank you bestie and thank you sophie and toffee sophie and toffee is a company that sells really
cool high quality resin craft supplies a lot of it is like licensed disney stuff fancy smancy
i don't typically work with resin i don't know too much about it but i am making an attempt here
these are the straw toppers that you can make with the box they sent me okay that's cute all
right this next one's gonna be more evil and less christmas i started off by painting the
whole thing green you might think i'm gonna be painting the grinch but i'm not that predictable
i mean come on robots sort of can't characters instead this is gonna be a zombie scary stuff
didn't want to spook the sparkle butts though so i'll be toning it down a bit it's gonna be a baby
zombie oh the harbor he's got giant puppy dog eyes and he's just all around a happy little guy for
whatever reason zombies always have their brains exposed he's not venturing too far from the norm
kinda just looks like pink hair hopefully these swirls make it look a bit more like a brain i then
went around adding a little definition to him here and there not too much just a little even added a
little five o'clock shadow they grow up so fast if you're new here and you didn't have five o'clock
shadow as a baby you should consider selling your soul to me by subscribing to my channel
and ringing that bell thing so you don't lose me on the internet i post new videos every friday i
wanted him to have a defining feature not that the whole exposed brain isn't defining enough but he
needed something to make him stand out amongst all the other zombies i thought freckles would
do the trick and they did except yellow isn't really his color i wanted him to have freckles
so i went over it with a dark green oh that's a little too many freckles let me just undo
some of them perfect it's like they were never even there what a handsome wee beard
so i'm just starting off by gessoing the wood just like i always do nothing crazy there
i don't know the lyrics i just kept singing it while i was working for whatever reason
this one's going to be another winter night no snowmans this time but plenty of snow and
in the snow there's going to be a little black sheep the black sheep of the family
i don't think i'm a huge fan of working with jelly gouache it took way longer to paint with this than
it would have if i just used acrylic or posca pens i know i'm not used to using it but that's
just my first impression i'm glad i tried jelly gouache though i still have a bunch of paint left
over in my jelly gouache palette so i'm sure i'll break it out again at some point apparently they
dry out after six months so clocks are ticking i guess i gotta get on that you can probably
tell it's time to felice navidad since even the black sheep has his christmas hat on he's just
doing what sheep do best grazing in a field doing sheep stuff since felice navidad has been stuck in
my head for the past few days i figured i'd do a pun on that fleece navidad a little play on words
cause he's a sheep it sounded funnier in my head and of course wouldn't be christmas without snow
i brought back the two ornaments since they're not quite ornaments yet i've got plenty of yarn saved
up that i rarely use i'm just hot gluing some loops to the back so they can hang on the tree
i got some paint around the edges of the wood things got a little messy during my artistic
process i wanted to clean that up so i just went around with some acetone and gave him a good scrub
a little head start on the christmas decor
will definitely need more decoration to spruce up the place i'll work on those
i melted him so fast with my hair dryer
just die already click on the top right or bottom left to send your condolences
