You know what...
Hello my creative friends! Olga Soby here and welcome to new acrylic pouring video.
Today let's try and create a space travel. So I continue my breaking through the limits
series. Today's painting is going to be second one in the series. And again I'm gonna use a round
object to create a circle in my pour, and then create a flow and make it sort of go
through that circle to really break through to create that beautiful,
dynamic, almost 3d looking effect. But for today's piece I also want to give it a lot
more cosmic energy with a choice of color with the background. Maybe I'll add some stars as well
to really try and create that space travel. So let's see how it turns out! All the
supplies details as always in the description under this video. And now let's get started.
Alright, as alwaysa let's get started with the base. So for my base colors today I
have here some phthalo blue. This one, this was an unsuccessful pour that I just scraped into the cup
and it has some violet prussian blue, some light blue color. So, actually this is pretty perfect
for the color palette that I have in mind. And just a few colors for the accent, and some
nicer brighter colors for the flow. So I want it to be mainly blue.
And today I'm working on 16 by 20 cradled wood panel as always primed with gesso and taped the
sides to keep that nice beautiful clean wood edge. I will show the final look at the end of the video
if you wanna to see that. So maybe a little bit more of this blue. So let's use this mix.
Let's turn the unsuccessful pour into successful outcome.
I want to add a bit of the iridescent black blue. So this is the color, it's a beautiful color by
Pebeo. This is the iridescent line. All the colors are gorgeous. So for this one it looks
really well also with dark colors, because right now it's sort of grayish, but when it dries
it shines really nicely and it helps me to achieve some cells in the background
when I'm gonna start blending this together. So I want to add a touch of greenish-blue.
And for a lighter accent
a bit of this oriental violet. I'm not gonna blow it out again like in that
previous video that turned out awesome. I'm gonna swipe to blend and mix those colors in.
I really love the neat effect it creates.
I have some of the blue-violet here. And I want to add more to the corners because I feel like
that will look nice. I know that the direction of my flow
is going to be this way. So I'm trying to think which way if I align my colors with the swiping
would complement the direction of the, of the flow. So that the whole composition is in balance.
You know, I feel like I want to tilt it a little bit just to get that moving.
Okay, I think this is looking pretty nice for background. A lot of
soft movement. It's perfect! So, let's start adding those colors. So I want this flow to go
a little bit on a diagonal. And my ring is going to be here. So this is the center.
Let's blow it out from there. This first color is turquoise blue. This is iridescent green blue.
Touch of blue-violet. This one here is vivid pink. It's very bright beautiful color.
I think it really stands out awesome with such a dark and cool color palette. A touch of gold
closer to the outer edge of the flow because I want my ring to be gold, gold here. So I want
to create more differentiation between the color of the ring and the flow. Therefore,
I'm adding gold only closer to the outer edge of the flow. I hope that makes sense.
Touch of this one and covering everything up with white.
Brighten up all the colors in the flow. Will also help me achieve some nice cells and lacing. Okay,
I'm very excited to blow it out and see how it turns out.
The colors of the flow are quite different from the first one. So I'm just looking at
it and trying out to plan my blowout and how I'm gonna arrange this whole thing on my panel. Okay,
let's start with the closer, with this part that's gonna be behind the ring.
Okay, this is perfect. So you know what, I actually feel like I want to use a smaller one,
smaller size of the cookie-cutter. This is not the cookie-cutter, this is the
package from cookie cutter set that I've been always using as an open cup. Maybe that will do.
Yeah, I think this is nicer. Just all the round objects around you might serve the purpose.
So this is just something I'm using for mixing the resin. And I think this is perfect diameter
for today's flow. Okay, so just pouring out a little bit of gold. It's the same gold,
it's mixed the same way as the rest of the colors, just with water. And dipping the rim
of my mixing cup. It's pretty thick rim, I hope it works well. I should have tried it first,
but you know what? What the heck! Let's just see how that works.
Okay, I'm giving it a bit of a turn.
Dang, that didn't work very well. See this part didn't work good?
What am I gonna do? Yeah,
so I'm not recommending to use something like this. I'm using the other side of my
brush, one of the brushes. I'm dipping it in gold.
I think this is a little better
now. A little bit of troubleshooting guys. Things happen, just have to improvise. You know,
things don't always work out perfectly, but this is the great opportunity for you to
learn something new, discover new tools, and get creative here. So I think it's already looking
pretty good. But when it's gonna be dry, I'll just touch up. I'll just add more gold here.
So let's work on the other side now. Oh, in the meantime, what? Those cells are gorgeous!
Cells and lacing here pretty awesome. Okay, let's do it.
This is nice. Just trying to see if everything worked the way I want it. So this ring,
it looks like it's opening rather than being a ring that contains the flow.
So I'll just try to bring it here because I want to create this 3d appearance.
Oh my goodness, I have been just messing around with this part so much. I think it's better now
but still I would need to come back to it and fix it when it's dry.
Why it didn't work? Okay, this is gorgeous otherwise! Man, those parts look like they
glow in from the inside out. So, I think I want to add a few splashes sort of stars. Let's add some
white and some turquoise. I think that will look the best in this color palette.
It's pretty cool space travel. The more I look at it, the more it grows on me.
I think when I'm gonna be doing a final layer of resin, I'm gonna add some stars to it as well
to really add that cosmic vibe even more.
I think that looks really amazing! I mean, I still can't wait to see how it dries while
the background becomes darker and some of the iridescent colors in the flow will pop
a lot more. Like it's a flow that's going through it.
You guys keep watching to see how it dries. For you I will be right back!
Here is the space travel all done and finished. And I would say that the second painting in the
"Breaking through the limits" series turned out with a little bit of challenge. This
tool, the cup, didn't work as perfectly as the cookie cutter. And if you decide to give something
similar a try, I would recommend finding something with a thinner lip. Because here with a wider lip
the ring was much harder to achieve that nice uniform shape. So for this painting I did
touch up the ring after the painting was dry. You just saw my process. And again, I didn't want to
make this ring look too perfect. So I made some parts darker. I added a little bit of highlight
here and here because I really wanted to emphasize the impression that we're looking from this angle
at this ring. I think it turned out pretty cool! And in this flow some of my most favorite parts
are these beautiful splashes of magenta. Because the overall color palette here is pretty cool
and space like. So, having those bright pops really brings so much life to this painting.
And you can tell I kind of enjoy adding bright splashes of magenta lately. So, for my background,
I did add some stars with the just splatter of acrylic paint. But also I added some beautiful
shiny pigment to my layer of epoxy resin. And this is where all this beautiful shine comes from. So I
really wanted to have a lot of stars. And I think with the added splatters of colors, and also these
shiny pigments in the epoxy resin, this painting definitely has that beautiful space energy. So,
the space travel turned out successfully! I would love to hear what you think about this piece?
And if you decide to create something in this style, also with the round form in your flow,
please don't forget to use hashtag "breaking through the limits". Because I would love to see
your creations! And in the next video, I want to take this whole concept with adding circle in the
flow to the whole next level. So, if you've been enjoying this series so far, definitely check out
the next video! It's going to be out on Saturday, so I will see you then. Thank you so much for
watching! I'll chat with you in the comments down below. Take care and stay creative. Bye bye
