hi everyone it's molly! welcome back to my channel and thank you for being here. I thought I could talk
through this compilation tonight instead of just playing it to music. I thought it would be
fun and I could give you some of my insights of what I was thinking when I made these paintings.
This was the second starburst painting that I had made and I wanted to do this one in rainbow colors .
This starburst effect really makes me think of kind of the 60s and feeling groovy and
just tie-dye. and I really love it it's such a fun effect. I get this effect
by using amsterdam colors mixed with creative inspiration colors and also adding in a metallic
and just blowing it outward gives that tie-dyed effect
i was really worried about the black in this painting but it came out so beautiful
and it sold at my last festival to a viewer that came and saw me i was so appreciative
i really love the purple next to the green and the blue and the soho silver that i used
is what created all those beautiful cells that are in there i just love the way this one looks
the center i went back in with my finger and made it a little bit more circular
and i really loved the design and how it came out
this piece was my first installment with another artist Rinske Douna
and we were doing "my empty wall" this is such a fun challenge we have someone give us a picture
of their empty wall and without talking to each other we create two paintings
based on the color inspiration and the wall that we pick it has been such a creative process and
it really pushes me to go outside of my comfort zone and try for designs that i don't normally do
this one was a unique crossing x that i wanted to try on two separate canvases
it reminds me of a dragon almost and the colors are very different than i would normally use
but the silver came out great in this one
such gorgeous effects
and it dried a little bit darker and that prussian blue black background is amazing
this has to be one of my all-time favorites it was a commission piece
and she even drew out for me exactly the design that she wanted and i loved it i loved the concept
i was using a pebeo iridescent blue and it shifts blue black and it was such a
pretty color and i'm so glad that i used it i really love this amsterdam gray too
it has such a warm tone to it but it goes so well with the cool black color the tape was just
to give guidance there so that i kind of knew the line that i would puddle the colors along
she chose blues and purples and white and you can never go wrong with this color combination
i was trying so hard there not to pour a lot of paint
if any of you have watched my channel for a while you know i have a heavy hand and i end up spilling
stuff everywhere and i was really trying to keep that just in the straight line there
and of course it didn't matter anyway because clumsy me there i go i splattered everywhere but
that's okay i cleaned it up and afterwards even watching the video now i think the splatters kind
of gave it a little bit of character some people had said oh i wish you had kept those i liked them
the design was so pretty in this one and the colors she chose were just
amazing
it dried absolutely phenomenal
this was a little piece that i did pretty in pink and i really liked this design when
i was starting out i wanted it to be a little bit more inward toward the center but when i blew the
white paint out i decided oh i'll just leave a little bit more negative space there i was
using pinks and purples and oranges and yellows just something really to brighten someone's room
now i used mostly amsterdam paints here and i used a windsor and newton gold mixed with the creative
inspirations and when i use most of one brand of paint i don't get as many cells as i would
if i had mixed a lot of brands together so if you're looking to do a painting and you don't
want cells either leave out the metallic or try to use all one brand of paint
and a lot of times that gives me the more solid color look instead of having a lot of cells
i really felt like the middle needed that extra part of interest
and i love how the paint dripped down the sides i left the painting just that way
i think the colors turned out just beautiful in this one even though i used purple right next
to yellow they didn't mix together and give me any type of muddy color really liked this one
this one was super fun too i was trying to do a spiral
and i didn't want it to come out looking like one of the regular waves that i do
i was really trying to curl it around and get a spiral shape and again i was working in the
same color palette as the pink one before with some purples and yellows and gold and
orange i really love that color combination together it reminds me almost of a sunset
if you actually watched this video and i'll link them all down in the description below
so that you could check out each one if you wanted to watch it in full
but if you watch this video i struggled to actually get this to spiral when i'm using
the blow dryer it's very difficult sometimes to get the control
you really want but i went in there and i worked at it and i finally got something that i liked
how cool is that i think it's absolutely beautiful well i hope that you liked
this compilation let me know in the comments thank you all so much for hanging out with me
and watching me paint you guys really are my inspiration as well
hope you enjoyed this video. thank you for watching. happy painting
bye!
