hi everyone, it's molly welcome back to my channel thank you for being here a while back, MelyD,
another artist on youtube had commented under one of my videos and she challenged me to try
one of my waves but in totally different colors. I thought, oh how much fun! So that's what I am
doing tonight. She said purples, black, and gold with a little bit of blue in there so that's what
i'm doing. this is abstract so it does not have to be realistic with always with ocean
colors. i totally agree and i am so excited about this color combination so, let's paint!
hi everyone welcome back i am going to do something that was actually inspired by
another artist MelyD for the color selection so she had watched one of my waves and she wrote
me this comment almost like a challenge i thought it was totally awesome and she said
okay but why don't you do it in purple's magenta and gold with a splash of blue so
that is what i'm going to do tonight so i'm going to spread out this is just regular black amsterdam
i believe it's oxide black paint let me spread this around
okay i really like that idea i love a challenge too so if you guys ever have any color
combinations maybe you're thinking about trying on a canvas but you don't want to waste the paints
i'll do it for you i love it i love trying out different things
so much fun okay so i've got this spread out now so i'm gonna do the regular cresting wave now
it's gonna be purple and pink right but it's abstract so it's just sometimes you get a feel for
the colors of something it's not necessarily that it needs to look like a wave because waves don't
normally look like that with a perfect spiral right so i was thinking about which color to lay
down first and i want something that's contrasting from the black so this is a bright magenta
this is a blue that is basically from leftovers uh so there is no name for it this is a little bit of
creative inspirations gold and windsor newton this is a creative inspirations dioxazine purple mixed
with blue violet and then i've got my white so i'm going to start it here not too much in the crest
you know what guys oh i didn't even think about this
i don't normally cover the whole canvas when i do this okay well this is gonna be something
new as well normally i would only cover black in here and i would have all the colors running
this way i didn't even think about it okay well i guess we'll see how this turns out
right there's gonna be interwoven black parts to it now so maybe it'll be really cool accidents
are not a bad thing right happy accidents right that's what bob ross would say
so this one's for you mel
i mean the blue in there i actually like this blue that this was just from when i finish painting i
scrape off the table sometimes if it's a pre if it'll make a pretty color and this was beautiful
these colors remind me of um galaxy colors okay here's the gold coming on through here
not too much in the crest i'm really just trying to get rid of all that black
maybe it'll be cool i can't believe i did that i i just i just wasn't even thinking about it
and even when i paint my sides normally i paint black here and then whatever color like would be
predominant like blue or purple i would paint here you know oh well okay let's blow it out let's see
oh and put the white in yo what is going on with me today huh i don't
want actually a ton of white through here so i'm just gonna do just a little frame that wave out
i don't know how this is going to turn out this is a challenge thank you mel
i'll link mellie melody's channel below too if you want to check her out she's one of
the people i watched when i actually got started with art okay here we go
i don't know i may have to do this one more time you guys can tell me and do it the way
i normally do i don't know i i kind of i kind of like the black through here i feel like it
gives it a little bit of dimension huh i don't know i'm gonna have to think about this one
so here i go i'm gonna make my little crest inward for the wave
this is always the hardest part if you guys do these waves
the hardest part is getting a beautiful crest but i just drag my finger on a long in
there
i'm going to come in through here
oh that purple and gold it's gorgeous
i think i will have to try this one more time and this time i mean the cells in this are just
really really pretty but i think i'll have to try it one more time without the black
and see if i get like any more of the brighter colors because i lost a lot of the magenta in
there and that was the color that was right next to the black so i don't know we'll see
that's how i do that crest so like i'm going to drag just a little bit in here
there we go that's really cool because i got the blue coming back from there again
i'm just gonna come straight up with this i want it to come off the canvas a little bit more
this way this angle of the crest is very important as well
i might even blow that a little bit more off camera and i may blow right in here
okay so this was first try at it with a booboo and i'm gonna try it again
and i'm gonna do it this time with the black only up here and all the colors on the outside like i
normally do so you guys can let me know which one you'll see this one first and you can let me know
what you think if you thought this added character um or if i should have done it the other way
all right let me show you i know that i've shown you guys this before but you can scrape
what is left off the table and it made this beautiful like metallic graphite color from
the black and the gold so i just put a cap on that and i'm gonna reuse that as another color so
all is not lost when you are pouring paint there doesn't have to be a lot of waste
that color is so beautiful so scrape your table see if you can get a color you like
okay i think this one is pretty cool honestly look at all those cells
there's no silicone in here
that corner
up there into that corner
and then i actually really like this little swirl
so i'm gonna try it again and i'm gonna do it without laying the black down here and see if
that changes the design at all so first one thank you mel for the inspiration make sure to check out
her channel and i'm gonna get working on the next one all right i'll show you the dried result
oh my goodness look at the gold
wow absolutely gorgeous and you know after this dried i love that it's like the nightmare before
christmas spiral to me i mean when this dried i loved the fact that i had the black in there
i feel like it added just a another dimension and it actually helped it not
to do that such a tie-dyed effect down there that i get so i really honestly like that now
right here if you can see that was an air bubble that popped and you can see through to the canvas
so what i will do is take just a tiny little pin and dab a little bit of regular paint black paint
there same color and those will go away and when you varnish it you won't even be able to tell
but melissa thank you for the color inspiration thank you for the challenge i hope you like it
i love this piece all right thank you guys for watching happy painting
bye
