hey guys today we are collaborating for a cause how cool is that five artists five colors five
causes melyd sarah taylor dwight myers elise fournier and bonnie keane now if i manage to sell
my painting i'm going to be donating the money to the canadian wildlife preservation now i am
going to be experimenting with my new white mix so let me set myself up here and i am going for this
for today's collaboration i have an idea of a way i want to position my puddle i want one
sort of two puddles in one with the streak through it out so that when i move it around
the streak might stay and then effects will pop up that's my idea now as you can see my
canvas seems dirty it's because i tried this already once but i tried a different white mix
i prepared it differently i really like to experiment to see how the paints are going to
react and it didn't work out so i just washed it off and this white has been prepared with
one part satin enamels to about 10 parts artists loft to one part pouring medium and then water
me
so
up
so if i want this line to stay i think i have to go that side first then that side
and then that side and then bring it back to get some reaction with the white and the
turquoise and then finish it off there
awesomeness
i have molly's artistry's little stands here they go pretty well
okay so will this end up all white or will it end up all full of color or a mix of both i'll
go wash my hands and i'll leave the camera on fix my sides i'll talk to you in a few
i'm back and this is about two hours later and i don't think it's gonna change
now i'm trying to stay calm but inside i am very very excited
um where do i begin now this is exactly what i always wished i would achieve
um a few years ago when i was doing this technique what usually happened
was the color took over the whole painting because i didn't i hadn't discovered the satin enamels yet
so that mix that i have today didn't exist and i would lose all the white and
there's so much white in this painting and that's exactly what i want and all the cells appeared in
the cracks of the colors and i remember i think it's in 2018 or i had done this
huge square swirl video that got tons of views because i remember this is exactly what had
happened i had gotten some little cells like these in a streak and people were like oh my god it was
really really cool that painting and i never um managed to achieve something like that again
so i think these are what the people are calling pearl cells right
i think those are that
there's all the different kinds of cells in this painting
and all the goddamn negative space that i love i'm sorry for swearing i'm just like i'm so happy and
oh yeah i poured some of the metallic color on the edge because i could see through the canvas and
since i had some left over i just added some there you can see a little bit of the metallic through
the paint and there's not much cells along that streak there's none basically
now it's not dry yet of course so i don't think any more cells will be popping up
but it could get a bit darker like here
it's this is really exactly what i've always wanted you guys and here i have some cloud effect
react type of reaction there
i'm in love
i'm in awe of myself oh god that's hilarious i have got to try this again this is my dream
result you guys i swear you must think i'm crazy all right stay tuned for the dried result
back with the final result this is varnished
