Hello, hello!
Welcome to my studio!
We have *sharpies* today.
We are going to do some abstract painting
[weird voice] with these bad boys -
Now there is a twist with the whole
painting with sharpies thing -
because we need a magic ingredient
[magic ingredient speaking] "Behold, I am a magic ingredient."
Yeah, so we're going to use
91% isopropyl alcohol to make this work.
You know how many places I had to go to find this?
All right, I have some ceramic tiles
and I'm really excited to do this with you guys!
We are going all out.
I'm going to tell you guys how this works.
Basically you grab a sharpie, you color
whatever you want on here.
You don't have to draw a picture,
because what you're gonna do later is take this alcohol -
it has to be above 90% for this to work.
I have read on Pinterest that if you do the 70%
it does not work as well.
90% or above.
Make sure you have good ventilation -
this stuff is strong!
I kind of want to do
something more like a rainbow...
Oo! That cap noise was so satisfying!
Ill just do bunch of little like circles -
and hope this goes well...
[music]
That looks so cool just by itself,
but we are going to put that -
[echoing voice] *magic stuff on it*
now, so let's do that.
You know what? We're missing something and
That something is for you guys.
So let's take a mini adventure real quick, all right?
[same echoing voice] *to everyone watching this...*
Since this is for you guys,
could I can I have a volunteer come up here and open this?
Just hop in the video real quick.
Nobody?
Okay, come on. I would have been way more excited to open a gift,
but I will open your gift and present it to you.
[wrapping paper tearing]
Well, there's some green tissue paper -
*the suspense!*
Oooooo!
This is cool, okay!
Get your first two months of Skillshare *free* with the link in the video description!
And actually, Skillshare is sponsoring today's video,
so I'm gonna tell you a little bit about them.
Skillshare is an online platform where you can learn
from thousands of different courses.
They have finance, graphic design, illustration
cinematography, the list goes on.
If you're a naturally curious person like me
Or maybe you have a lot of hobbies
and you're looking to really hone in on one of those,
this is a wonderful community for you.
One of the things that I've been doing on my channel lately
is actually changing up my filming and editing style.
A lot of you guys have noticed this and pointed it out
in the last month.
I'm gonna tell you where I am learning to do that.
It's actually cinematography courses on Skillshare
teaching the different filming techniques
so one of the courses I actually just finished earlier today is:
DIY Filming: Creating Pro Video with Tools You Already Own
this course is created by Mark Cercosimo.
If any of you are curious,
I will link it down below!
Something I really like about Skillshare
is first of all, I don't have to leave my house.
But second of all, if I'm traveling,
I can still take my courses.
It's a lot more affordable than signing up to take a class
in person, because an annual membership is less than
$10 a month. If you decide to do a premium membership,
you can actually get unlimited access to all the courses,
which is really sweet!
Since it's winter and we get cozy inside,
this is a great time to use those two free months of Skillshare.
So cozy up with a cup and enjoy your first two months for free.
Got our little dropper. Alright, here we go!
[music]
This is sweet, yo!
Whaaat?
Oh my goodness
what kind of art sorcery is this?
[gasp 1/7]
Oh, cool!
That is so neat! Ooo, it's hard to like draw on it after that.
[music]
I'm gonna try to use this
with the next one.
Okay, so I'm envisioning
some blues...
[music]
Now! What I want to happen, is a cool marble effect -
I'm just gonna take my awkward spray cap off.
Yeah, CVS was sold out of just the regular bottles.
So - I could spray this at one of these... That's a good idea!
Ooo!
[deeper] OOO!
[music]
Ha! So satisfying!
Not as satisfying? Hmm, let's try a dropper -
full of gold ink.
[music]
[gasp 2/7] What in the world? Did you see that?
[gasp 3/7]
Whoa, it like forms a membrane thing!
Okay, admittedly these materials -
probably are not the most compatible together.
I should probably be using the gold
when this is dry but something about it kind of looks cool.
[music]
All right, this one is gonna be pretty cool.
It's gonna be all those little scribbles -
[music]
Why does a really -
convoluted
scribble look so cool? Now time to destroy it.
Or maybe succeed, who knows?
We're gonna spray this and
hope it looks really cool!
[gasp 4/7]
That is sweet!
[music]
This one is a little more subtle than I thought it would be,
but in person it looks really cool.
It mostly
brings back memories of
looking at stuff under microscope slides, so I kind of like it.
All right, should we try to redeem ourselves with the blue and green one?
I think we should.
Okay, since the alcohol really dilutes the color once everything dries,
I'm going in pretty hard with the dark blue this time!
Do you guys think this one will work?
[gasp 5/7]
[whisper] Wow, it's like magic!
[music]
It's amazing what some gold ink can do and once this is varnished
I think it'll really look like a geode or something. I love it!
[music]
Since this is abstract art - let's have some fun with this...
[music]
I'm gonna spray again. I think the spray effect is really cool.
[gasp 6/7]
[gasp 7/7]
That is sweet!
You know, something tells me we need...
Well, that's what I was gonna say, I was gonna say yellow,
so I'm just gonna take that.
[music]
This one's pretty sweet it gives me sixties vibes. I like it.
[music]
Wow, this one looks like a galaxy - it's so cool!
[music]
Okay, this marbling geode technique is officially my favorite.
[music]
I think I want to do this really bright pink.
[music]
Man does this not remind you of like an 80s sweater or what?
This is the brightest yellow ever, wow.
Whoa!
The effect it has on that pink!
Oh my...
I think I want to stir this one around.
[music]
That is the most satisfying thing!
I feel like an adult who found kid pics all over again!
Oh my that is so cool!
Well, I'm not really sure what happened, but I left the room,
left this to dry for an hour and I came back and it looked like this.
It still looks pretty cool,
It just looks like some pigment separation
happened in here with the greens.
Alright, so this was a little different than my usual
videos, but I hope you liked it!
And if you have a Menards near you,
these ceramic tiles are only 16 cents apiece.
So if you want a really cheap like DIY gift idea for the holidays,
I highly recommend this! I already had all these sharpies at my house,
and this is a really sweet gift idea, so
I'm really excited. I'm gonna be gifting people coasters.
I am gonna varnish these but you see how reflective they are on camera.
I figured it would be harder to film them if I varnished them in the video.
So I'm gonna do that like, tomorrow.
By the time you guys see this video they will be varnished
Alright, thank you guys for watching and
don't forget to get your two *free* months of Skillshare
with the link in the description!
Have a good day, guys! Bye!
