hi everyone it's molly welcome back to my channel thank you for being here i am about to go get
dressed in my painting clothes and do something super abstract tonight i wanted to just do
something that was kind of flowy and use all kinds of materials maybe my sponge maybe my palette
knives my brushes and just create something from scratch i cannot wait to do this let's paint
all right hi everyone i am very excited to do this i wanted to do kind of just an abstract
soft kind of i don't know piece tonight painting so i have i'm using actually
I don't know if you guys will be able to see it but I'm using my Lolivefe mat because the paint
peels off of it well i have a palette that i use sometimes too but the paint doesn't peel
off as easy so i found that the Lolivefe mat I just put it on and then like a big hunk will just
peel right off and i can reuse it so this is just my small one i have palette knives i have
i have brushes i have sponges i have no idea what i'm going to create at this point that is what is
so much fun is the possibilities literally are endless in this i think i'm gonna do silvers
grays some blues and some reds and just kind of see what happens so wish me luck um
hmm
so what i have here is just a spray bottle with
some water and when i'm doing abstract sometimes i like to mist to keep it um
workable the paint workable because i'm doing a dry on wet technique right now so i'm just adding
this base coat and then i'm going to come in with some white i think like this and just kind of
soften up some of the areas and then i'll be able to blend this a little bit better
and i'm working with a silver here too
just a pure silver it normally metallics don't have as good of coverage for the canvas so i
blended in a little bit of the gray as well so let's just kind of see what develops here right
this is a paddle brush i have them in different sizes and i'm going to be
using mock brushes and like i said maybe some palette maybe some um sponges i don't know yet
just getting the base layer on for now
okay so now that i've got this base coat on
i'm just going to start adding in some highlights
and i'm not really trying to really blend anything right now this is still kind of rough
the blending will come in in a moment
so i'm going to spritz this again
now
my soft mom brush just kind of circularly blend this
and i'm going to leave this as kind of a rough blend for now
because i like the actual little circles that are in there
so this is getting a little dry so i'm just going to spritz that again
nice soft light strokes that's how i blend this all together
so now i'm gonna come in i think with
this it's a very dark blue i think i'm just going to start sponging this on along and then i will
trying to get kind of a flowy feel on both sides
this may end up a little bit textured abstract art that's what's great about
it you can do whatever you want this does not have to be some smooth surface
smaller brush
just kind of blending this out a little bit
i don't want it to go too pink i like that there's a little blue left over from my brush
so
okay here this is i don't know if you can see so that is metallic it's got a beautiful shine to
it the silver parts my brain was telling me in the center that i needed to to make some type of of
connection between all the lines and so that's why i went back in with those darker pieces but i love
the movement that i got and how i kind of blended some of those out
on the side and added those parts and i'm thinking maybe i'll come back in and add
the sides are gray now i might do like a dark blue or black border on it but just
all those different lines and the dimension in it just something really really abstract i love it
well i hope you enjoyed this a different process something i'm gonna play with more
all right thanks for watching happy painting
bye
