all right, hello everyone! so this canvas i just had to scrape. so what i'm going to do
tonight is the thin paint peacock color pour so i'm gonna i scraped this off my table i'm gonna
reuse this in another painting because it is gorgeous but um i realized a couple of things
my paints i i used the same i mixed the same paints for my dutch pores and for this technique
they need to be just a tiny bit thicker so i went ahead and mixed again brand new paints
so they do have some air bubbles in them but um i wanted them to be just the tiniest bit thicker
nowhere near you know my ring core or a flip cup or anything like that but just the tiniest bit
thicker so that they wouldn't blend to just be kind of one color um so all i did i just
took all the paint scraped it off took a paper towel wiped it down and now it's back dry again
so and because the paint was so thin it was falling off the edges
and i could see the canvas showing through now the other time that'll happen if you have silicone in
your paints or if your fingers have oils and you touch them like that so um so i'm gonna layer it
and try it again same thing i tell you you know it happens you fail but you just get right back up
and keep going so i'm gonna pour the one thing i didn't do which this i probably should have i test
all my other paints to make sure that they're the same consistency i use the drip test um but for
this one because i just mixed these really quick i did not so i'm hoping that they'll be okay
i also meant you can see it on the side of the cup i made this gorgeous like prism purple color
um because i have this dark purple and that's what i'm going to layer next to the white but
i'm going to pour just a little bit more white in there um and the white is just to give it contrast
so many air bubbles so now i'm gonna pour in the purple and it's still gonna mix together but the
contrast will be a lot more pronounced i think i hope so that was blue violet that i mixed in there
that is
phthalo blue gonna mix in now already i can see that my
colors are staying together much more so if you do this technique just thicken your
paints up from whatever you use if you do use uh paint uh like for a dutch pore um
thicken it up just a little bit and i think that this will turn out the way that i want i think
we shall see
gorgeous colors that i'm using though very excited about this i don't think i'll use
any more green though because the blue and gold are going to make a green i've got this green
in there so i think i'm going to stay away from that but i am gonna put the dark purple
i'm gonna put and i still want this to be very soft that's why i'm using
thin paints just a little bit of white in there some more blue
my husband's taking out the trash
and i'm not going to use as much i normally fill this cup
all the way to the top i'm not going to do that this time
what i am going to do is take a little bit of this purple and pour it right there in the center now
can you see it doesn't spread i mean it's hard to see on camera but it doesn't spread out the same
i'm almost out of butane so it holds just a little bit more it's not quite so fluid
just a little bit more there all right so now i'm going to pour this
and hope for the best
there's that dark purple oh i don't know why i started to do a ring pour i'm gonna drip those
maybe it will actually look like peacock feathers
i don't know
and someone said it in a video and it's true
they remind me of the design that i get when i do the colander pours
they really do look like little oh that's really interesting i wonder if i have any more
i wish again i could see more gold
and my colors are still very muted so i think it's adding that white in
there i think that's what did it here comes some more drips
i guess we can count this as peacock colors and a drip painting
i don't know guys i don't know what i'm doing um and i do just feel like i want some of the gold
so i don't know if i want to like
swirl it along in there
oh i didn't want it to drip so now i'm just going to take my finger and kind of
and i'm missing the lime green too but i really don't want to drip any more lime green
in there but i'm going to take a little bit on my finger and just maybe kind of
accent some places
this is where you can get really creative and just kind of do what you want
but yeah i think it's because i had that white in there that all those colors kind of blended
so maybe i'll do my next one without
white or maybe not so many
oh colors oh boy oh boy
i'm just swirling my finger in to get some interesting designs in there
all right let's stretch this out i'm interested to see how those stretch out
i don't know we'll see let's see how it goes
sometimes the paintings just
have a mind of their own sometimes they don't go the way that you plan that is okay
oh i want that bright green corner to stay there and those drips are so cool
those are really really cool if they had stayed clustered together they would have reminded me of
peacock feathers they don't right now but all right i'm very glad that i swirled that
gold through there i'm glad i added those pops of lime green so i am liking this one more um it is
still not what i had in mind originally but that's okay i am having fun playing all right so let's
i lost one of my paint stands i've painted on them so much they're sticking all right
so those designs are gonna stretch out some but that's okay and i think if i did this i don't
know i don't know what i would do if i did this again oh this is very pretty it's got like a very
stained glass look every time i do these i still think my favorite one was the blue one that i did
roll that off the side i don't want to stretch all those out too much so i'm going to bring this back
this way
okay this one is super duper interesting i am going to kind of go this way
and just off the side there
this was difficult this color comp this and
the galaxy color combination they gave me a lot of issues
i'm still not super pleased with this one
i don't really want to mess with those
what do i do here okay this is the second time i've tried it and i don't like it
well what i'm to do
is go at it one more time
i'm only going to do big layers of color this time
because if i remember last time that's what i did
yes now do i want some of these
oh no i screwed that up that's what i did that's what i've been doing wrong
that is what i have been doing wrong
i've been layering too many times it's been getting too muddy
i would have never figured this out
if i had not failed so many times
and it's not peacock necessarily but i like this one i like it again
i don't like there's just one little i don't even know what that is
i think this painting was doomed
so this is what happens when i just don't know what to do i just finger paint
but i think it's actually really cool
the little curlicues add some dimension to it there's
definitely multiple places that your eye can go
so you know sometimes it doesn't work out you just play around see what you get
all right well thank you for watching! happy painting! bye!
