hey guys it's Molly welcome back to my channel thank you for being here I wanted to do something
simple tonight black white and silver simple peaceful elegant hope you guys enjoy let's
paint okay I just wanted to go with simple tonight like its melody always that simple is best right
so I'm doing a black based canvas I'd already painted off my sides taped off my back and I'm
just using silver and white I wanted something elegant just a black and white canvas and just
appreciate kind of whatever organically develops out of it sometimes it's just really nice to
go back to just something very basic I think you can really appreciate kind of the design
sometimes when there's not a ton of colors that are around so I'm going to blow this out
I really like using the blow-dryer to spread the pain around because it gives me a really
thin even layer if you're noticing that your colors are getting swallowed sometimes by your
base coat it may just be that you have too much on the canvas so some artists
use a spatula and that works great if your paints are thin enough and it works well
just pop in my ear bubbles here and it works well if you're working on like a you know a
smaller based area but for when I do larger work and I really want a good even coat you
can also tilt the painting but it you end up wasting a lot more paint in my opinion you
tilt it if you do tilt I like to have a cup decided to tilt then too so that you don't
waste as much me so this one is gonna be really simple tonight I've mixed my mixed my colors
here I've just got silver a metallic silver and Amsterdam white and that is all I'm using so I
was thinking about my design I don't want to do a straight across blow out I want it to be
kind of organic so I think I'm gonna do a line up here and a line kind of back here and then
maybe a little something in the middle so I'm gonna do a puddle up here I'm gonna do my white
maybe a little bit in the center and then I'm gonna do a little bit of my
silver and then I'm gonna come through with just a little bit of the black as
well even though I've got black on my base a little bit of black in the poor as well
and this may make a little bit of gray but again I'm just appreciating my colors here
inside they're a little bit more silver black I have enough black I can spread
that out I think a little bit more you know melody has been doing a series with
mixed-media girl on just using a little bit of black here doing a black and white series
using different colors I think I've seen Karen as well from waterfall acrylics do
you want and I love them I think they're they come out beautiful you really give the colors
a chance to or the white and the black to really shine instead of having a bunch of
colors spread across the canvas okay so I'm just going to give this another tour
so I'm gonna blow out up here so I am going to put just a little drizzle of my and I'm
doing this not to flood the colors this time I'm doing it so that they have something to
move over so if you're blowing your paint and it's not moving and it's stopping right
here put a little bit more paint and it will allow you to blow that out what's happening is
it's catching on the canvas underneath a lot of times but too much and your colors may sink so
one more little black and white in the center we'll see what happens
right okay I think it is set to go I think I've got enough paint on there
so I'm just gonna blow up here maybe out this way I'll blow maybe with my
mouth a little bit in the center and then blow up this way back this way we'll see
okay I'm really I love this part right here that is so pretty so I'm gonna blow this I was gonna
blow it with my mouth but I feel like maybe it needs a little bit of a motion with the blow-dryer
so I do I don't like this term right here I think I love this part of the mouse
I always get my dip myself in there okay so I like that part now I think maybe just a
little up here yeah love this feel like I don't know I feel like maybe right up
here just a little bit with a popping kind of white blown out and you can do this you
can fiddle don't you know if you don't like your painting design do something else with
it right you want to get the right composition that you like I'll blow this area right up there
oh yeah yes yes now I like that it's kind of offset and I don't
have anything down here I think that's really cool
I can't tell you how many times I've painted my hair okay
okay
I'm loving this right here it's gorgeous in these little jagged
edges that are kind of fraying out those are really pretty - hmm
where to next I feel like this right here can be opened because everything else is fairy
so the way to open up a space is to blow just like that and see how that kind of feathered
out now and it's gonna dry and I was able to kind of curl that along and open that
up to add more interest and I think I might do that right up here as well and have a couple
of those kind of come right up here so this is really about so if you say that you have
difficulty with composition and this is really where composition comes in let me see if I can
get up high enough nope nope got directly in there but that will dress laughs so that's okay
so I might use my straw I don't normally use a straw a lot of people ask this as well and I
don't normally use it because it gives it very um so I'm gonna use my stick right there it
gives a very thin Airstream but I actually want that to kind of create this line right here so
and I know what this needs it needs more black right there so that I can
blow out sometimes you kind of figure it out as you get right
there we go like that now I'm just blending that white back into the
black for the color so that I could make that open negative space right
there and then this I think I'm just going to touch and drag that on up
here we go
same thing right in here I don't always like it to be these kind of big petals I like it
to be kind of broken apart so if that's the look you're going for you just drop
a little bit of your base color right there in the center and then blow that part out
see how now that created those beautiful kind of wispy edges to come along there
there we go
yes almost like smoke
okay I think I'm done I'm a fiddle just a little bit more but I think for the most part this is
good so I'll show you guys the wet result and then I'll show you the drive results alright
here it is so this is what I was talking about with the like blowing out the little wispies
there's all those reactions in the middle it's from that metallic in the Amsterdam
little black peeking through oh my gosh look at that really really pretty and I like the
composition too very pretty I'm very happy alright I will show you guys the dred result
here it is it dried great with that silver oh man and look that's my thang knew that
was gonna be my favorite part that kind of wispy nostalgia the light it's just it's
I love it it's so pretty it's so simple sometimes you just have to be just simple
gorgeous elegant love it love it all right you guys thanks for watching happy painting bye
