Hello, my creative friends! Olga Soby here, and welcome to new acrylic pouring video.
Let's continue with the "Dancing Universe" series. This is going to be a second painting in
the series. The first one, in the first one I did this new planet technique. Check out the video. It
turned out so gorgeous. So today I want to do it again, of course, with a little bit of change. So
in my first video, first painting, this technique I created the planet with the blowing technique.
Today I want to do a dirty pouring to create the planet and then we'll create the space.
So using this ring to form the shape of the planet,
sort of to mask out, and to do, to separate the inner part of the painting from the outer part
works amazing. This is a large cookie cutter. If you want to check out colors, exact names,
and links to products that I'm using as always they're going to be listed in the description
under this video. So check it out. And without further ado let's get started.
"Attraction" is a secret message for today's painting. So what I'm gonna do
today? I'm gonna pour some colors in my cup first just to create some layers of colors
for my planet. So first one was a cadmium yellow with some primary yellow, second was
red-violet, some white. I'm pouring just down the side, so the colors don't over mix too much.
This one is turquoise green,
some yellow, a touch of dark color for some contrast.
That was a mix of black and blue. Some red-violet again.
And a bit more turquoise. I don't think I need more color, honestly, because this is going to
be probably enough. Trying to think which way. So I want to create lines within this flow.
I'm a little short on color.
So that was turquoise blue, this is iridescent red-violet, so the touch of iridescent blue-green.
I think I'm actually going to swipe it out. I hope some other colors will show up.
Thanks this is working so differently from what I have planned.
Okay, some of the lacing showing up.
So, yeah.
Didn't get those layers as I was hoping.
I think that will do for planet actually, just I'm trying to visualize how that would look.
If you haven't seen my previous video with the planet you're probably looking at it and
wondering what the heck is going on? What am I doing? Because this looks,
this can't look further from planet in space right now but
let's see if I can transform it. I really really do hope so. Okay, so let me grab my stepladder.
So now I want to position this as close to the center as possible.
I should have used less iridescent color because those cells are overtaken a little bit but
this is the atmosphere of unknown planet.
Let's get to the next step. So now I need to push some of the paint out.
Oh, don't move.
I think it's very important to push that paint out because I want to have one uniform color around
my planet, my floating planet. And it's much easier to touch it up when it's dry and it
will look nicer, there will be more definition and contrast. But all this color can stay because when
it's going to be blended with my darker colors it will create very nice movement and transparency,
and layers, and depth in my space, negative space. In my negative space that represents the space,
Huh? Okay, I'm just wiping this section a little bit, only right around the ring.
Okay, I think that will do it.
So, let's add-in that space. Again I'm gonna use
dark blue mixed with black first. Right around the planet.
And next will be some purple. This is blue-violet - actually really dark color, dries super dark.
So, next - I'm gonna blow it out, and then I think
I might add a bit more color. But I want to see how this looks first.
So, I want this side to be a little lighter. I'm gonna add some highlights to my sphere
when it's dry, probably on this side. So I need to make this part a little...
So initially I created sort of a spiral movement in my negative space as I was blowing it out.
But then I thought since I have this quite a distinct direction in my planet that go sort
of translates the shape of the sphere in those lines I thought it will be fun more interesting
composition wise to actually extend this movement in my negative space as well. So instead of having
that spiral movement I added some brighter parts here and here, and made this type of
movement. I think it definitely looks better this way. Let's add in some stars, shell we?
I'm adding mostly white but I felt like it would be fun to add some yellow stars too.
We need a couple big ones.
Maybe a couple of turquoise as well.
Such a gorgeous abstract space painting. I love it.
So, I know you don't see the full beauty because of my ring. But I am going to remove it now.
The most exciting moment. So I have my palette knife ready to pop the film.
Ah, this is beautiful.
I love it. And as you already know some of the paint will level out as it's drying,
it'll change a little bit within the next half an hour to one hour. But it's super easy to touch
it up, super easy. And you'll never know when it's dry. Oh, my God. I think it was very-very
good decision to change to this direction. This looks absolutely perfect. All right, you guys,
I will be right back to do any touch-ups if necessary and, of course, I will show you
fully finished beautiful glowing result. So keep watching. I will be right back. And here is this
beauty dry. I have to say this dries so perfectly, so definitely much better than my first planet.
I learned on the experience of my first, for sure. And it really hasn't spread. The only
thing that I don't like about this one is that - you can see this line, it did shift a little bit
towards the right but it didn't happen because of the paint spreading. It happened because
I was moving the ring a little bit and I didn't place it in the center right away.
So this is more like a user error than the paint leveling. I don't like this line. And if you're
working on a planet keep in mind you don't have to make it perfectly circle because not all
planets are perfectly round. Like our planet Earth is ellipsoid. So it can, this shape is acceptable
and I would leave it like this. But I just don't like how it looks here. This side looks a little
smudged because I was shifting the ring. So I am going to touch it up. I'm placing my ring over to
set, to guide me. I'm actually going to shift it a little bit towards the right. I still want
to have some of that ellipsoid kind of shape. So now I'm taking the pencil and
I'm gonna actually draw the line to guide me. So I'm gonna paint over this part with black,
not with the black but with the dark blue. The color of the base of negative space.
You can see that this dark blue color is super transparent. So we'll take a couple layers
to cover that section. But I definitely, definitely like it better.
So I will need to do a couple more layers here but while this side is drying I want to add a
bit of more of a highlight to this part of the painting. So here I have mixed some transparent
white with gloss medium to make it even more transparent and I'll try to add in that layer.
See it allows me to brighten up this part without actually losing all the detail. You can see all
the details shining through. This technique is called "glazing". When you add transparent,
semi-transparent layers over each other. Allows you to achieve a lot of depth,
especially if you're working in more traditional techniques but in fluid painting can totally be
implemented as well if you want to highlight or add some shadows and shades and
just overall depth to your painting.
Okay, I think it's done for the most part. I might add more highlight in this part. I
don't know I need to look at it. It's still drying. So, I'll see how it dries. I might
need to add another layer of my base color here again depending on how this one's going to dry.
And then it's going to be ready for final layer of beauty - the epoxy resin. And then I will show you
the very finished result. Keep watching. All right, all right so here we go with the second
beautiful planet. All done finished covered with epoxy. And I added again even more stars for all
this beautiful shine. Check this out. Look at that all that transparency in my purple and violet,
in the negative space. This is absolutely gorgeous. Yeah, now you can see it. All that
shine and transparency are especially visible against the light, especially when you direct
light at certain angles. It's so beautiful. I really, really love this section at top here.
So for this beauty again I've also worked on the dry painting to touch it up, especially work on
the more spheric shape for this planet to maintain the 3d look. But for this one compared to my first
one in this style in the series I definitely a way less adjustments that touch-up required. So I'm
getting there. I really hope that the next one is going to be just perfect from the get-go. I really
love that for the negative space on this one I changed direction and made it more diagonally
in line with the movement of the shapes on the planet. I think it's definitely a lot
more interesting this way. These three stars also make a very interesting design. So, yeah, many
really beautiful and special features about this painting. Okay, here are the two, side by side.
So much like but so different at the same time. It's amazing. So which style for the planet do you
like better? Number one or number two? Let me know in a comment below the video. One very interesting
association that I get from these two is for one of my favorite paintings the "Kiss" by Gustav
Klimt. Klimt depicts men wearing cloth with more geometrical shapes and patterns, and woman wears
soft floral patterns. So here, of course, it's a completely different art style. But for this one,
it definitely has more geometrical energy and shapes in it, it's more symmetrical - so more male
energy. And this one has a lot more curves, it's much more softer - so more female energy I would
say in this one. I think that's very interesting, and these two definitely make a fabulous
set together. What do you think? Do you get that impression too? And for my resin application,
as I mentioned in the last video currently I'm working on a new course in which I'm going to
teach you everything about how you can create a beautiful flawless finish on your paintings.
So if you want to sign up to my email list, to be notified when the course is done, when it's ready
to be purchased, what's going to be included, and all this good stuff - link in the description. So
check it out. Thank you so much for watching! Stay tuned for a lot more paintings coming up in the
"Dancing Universe" series. And if you share your beautiful creations in the
style don't forget to use #dancinguniverseart, so that I can find your beautiful paintings.
Thanks for watching! Take care, stay creative, and I'll see you in the next video! Bye-bye!
