hi everyone it's molly welcome back to my channel thank you for being here
if you're new to my channel i am an artist here in south florida i do a lot of the abstract
artwork a lot of acrylic art and fluid art pieces and i'm very excited today because i'm
working with another fluid artist her name is Rinske Douna and she is such an amazing friend
and we decided to do my empty wall together now if you don't know what this is a few weeks ago on our
instagram our facebook in our community here on youtube we told everyone show us a picture of your
empty wall and send us some inspiration maybe some color inspiration and we would create a piece as
if we were filling that space so it doesn't mean that the person has that we picked has to buy it
nothing like that but we want to create something and give you the inspiration to fill your wall
so that's what i'm gonna do tonight here is a picture of the actual inspiration for the room
and what i really like about this piece are kind of the circular shapes that are there
i really picked up on the dark blue and the silver and so that's what i'm going to focus on tonight
maybe with just little pops of color so for each one of these that we do and for each person that
we pick run it through your mind and see what would i have made for this you could even join
along and tag us if you want and don't forget to check out Rinske Douna's channel because she also
has a piece that is inspired by this picture if you want to join in on the next challenge
make sure that you find us on social media and tag us my hashtag myemptywall and let's paint
all right hi everyone hope you're doing well i am going to do the my empty wall piece i was so
excited to do this with a wonderful artist rinse godowner and this is really about the winner
each time we do this is about inspiration about showing what you can do with a blank wall and
that's my favorite thing to do is start with a blank canvas and have an idea come to creation
it's it's just the best feeling so sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't i had tried this color
palette one other time and just kind of fiddling around with it and i really love the colors but i
really wanted more silver to have it pop and so that's what i'm gonna do tonight and i'm gonna
start with two lines so you saw the picture before and it was this beautiful like cherry
and the walls are gray and so i wanted something to pop out with contrast so i chose a dark color
and then i wanted the silver because i picked up the silver tones in the bowl of the cherries
i made and i only have just a little bit but i made a red magenta color out of a carmine and a
primary magenta and then i have a green and it kind of scared me when i started but the green
is really reminds me of like the the cherry stem so i made that out of a olive green light and an
emerald green and then i've got white i have this cream colored silver as well this is actually the
silver by amsterdam and it's really not silver it's like this cream metallic it's very pretty
and then i have a little bit of phthalo blue just to kind of brighten it up and then i'm using the
soho silver this brand soho and the other brand that i use creative inspirations when i mix them
with amsterdam paints this is what creates that beautiful kind of burst of cells that i get so
when this is thinned down with water so i'm going to go ahead and pour these out and i'll be back
so what i forgot to tell you the last time is that i actually ran out of
the prussian blue payne's gray mix that i was using
um i have more ordered but from dick blick i get my amsterdam from dick blick
um so i made it out of phthalo blue and carbon no oxide black so that was and then i always set
i have stuff all over i always set a little bit aside from a pre-mixed color that i make
i've done it with a bunch of colors oops i dropped something in there and um i always
so that way if i need to touch up the edges or something like that i always have a little bit
it took me quite a few tries of realizing that i needed to touch something up and not being able to
mix the same color so live and learn from that one and all right this looks good okay so um make sure
you check out rinska donna her channel for the piece that she creates and what was so fun is that
we actually didn't know what each other we don't know what we're making
so we didn't like talk about it and plan it ahead of time the only time we talked about it
was to pick the person and if you want to enter for the next time we do this
you can head on over to either either of our facebook or instagram pages
and send us a and some people emailed us too because some people don't have instagram
um and just send us a picture of your empty wall and a little bit of color inspiration
and maybe we'll pick you for the next one okay so i'm gonna start so this is what i learned
from the last time i'm gonna start with silver and the way that i did it i started up here
and i curved it on around and i'm going to start here
curve that up and then i will save that silver for the last little bit that i do now
i put the green the last time only in certain places but i actually like the
way it came out i was afraid of it but i like the way it came out so i'm gonna do that again
and just kind of follow the same line but just not do a ton except maybe right in there
because when it mixed oh followed the wrong line when it mixed together it actually created a
very pretty pop of color of interest so now i'm gonna do i think this cream silver this
just didn't show up as well as i thought in the last one but it could have been a little too thin
so now i'm gonna go with my blue and the other thing that happened is i didn't have enough
just enough paint i layered them differently and i just didn't have enough on the canvas
so when i blew it out it was just a bunch of negative space and that was it
okay so now i'm going to come in with this magenta red mix
you have to be very careful with oh i keep following that line
you have to be very careful with
reds and blues together sometimes they mix to just be very unpleasing to the eye they mix together
almost like a like a red white and blue type flag which is that's not unpleasing but
just something about it kind of catches my eye in a very different way
but i try when i'm gonna mix them together to do different saturations of the colors meaning
i'll choose a darker blue and a brighter red or a brighter blue and a darker red so you have to
think about those things think about why why is my eye not liking this why is this not pleasing
okay well i'm pretty much out of every other color basically
i hope i have enough colors there i definitely think i have enough paint but i'm just going to
drizzle a little more okay there we go maybe a little tiny bit of the
i don't know maybe that was not a great idea
i'm gonna leave it out over there okay let me pop these air bubbles so people have asked why
i use this is an urban creator torch i got it off amazon but some people were saying they can't find
it anymore but any creme brulee torch some people have this is runs off butane other people's runs
off propane instead it depends on the location that you're in but i use it to pop the air bubbles
because if you don't then you'll get these tiny little pinholes all over the canvas and the canvas
can actually show through those so that's why i'm i'm popping these it can help create cells
as well but for the most part this is just to pop the air bubbles okay let's go enough talk
so
okay this is very pretty it's a very similar design that i had to the last one
i like the big bold pops of color that are in this
i'm not even gonna talk about how much i'm gonna fiddle
because it's never the actual amount that i'm gonna fiddle
huh okay so this part right here i definitely know that i want to do something with
it's a little too hard still right up in there
so oh my gosh that created something amazing over there okay i'm just gonna touch
that's what i didn't want to happen is these two
i don't really like any of this little part right here it's just not it's not working for me
so when you don't like it take this right here and just
all gone now i'm going to take some of my and this is why you always have leftover paint
take some of that there this is just stunning gorgeous
even when i don't do waves i end up with waves
i just think this is absolutely amazing i like how it's wispy right here
in these little i'm just gonna drag that out like a little bit right there
yeah this is really really pretty i'm really happy here they are so these were 16 by 20 inch canvases
i love the design this one's kind of like an x and this one's kind of like a dueling dragon
or something i don't know they're really cool but let me take you in so that was the mixture of that
that's the cell lacing that i get when using
the soho silver or really creative inspirations or soho whatever's in their mixture gives me
those cells when i mix it with amsterdam trying to go slow and then over here
wow
i just that i didn't like that wave part but i like it now it's kind of
playful and then up there that's what was created when i blew on that little section
i really really like it so much movement in this one and i did it curved look how much paint i have
on me i did it curved like that so that i could kind of get that feel from the circular round
shape of the cherry so you can pull inspiration from anywhere these are going to be so much fun
i can't wait to pick the next picture and do the next one all right i'll show you the dried result
okay here it is it is just gorgeous
the shimmer in it is really really pretty you've got those pops of color
gorgeous up there the flow of it is really nice so again i took my inspiration from
kind of the curves that were in the picture and then the colors and then
i thought about what would contrast on the wall so i hope you guys enjoyed this
and i can't wait to see rinske's please head over and check out her channel if you haven't
