hi everyone it's molly welcome back to my channel thank you for being here!
if you're new to my channel thank you for watching. If you are returning, welcome back! i am an abstract artist here in
south florida i have been experimenting with some swipe acrylic pouring techniques.
Tonight i'm going to do something i used to do a long time ago so some wrecked rings and
then i'm going to rainbow swipe down the center of those i'm really hoping for just an abstract
pattern with this one and i think it's going to be super fun i hope you do too let's paint
all right hello everyone i am super excited about this one i'm going to combine
a wrecked ring pour with the brightline swipe in the center so um the last well not the
last one but one that i did i had two ring pores on the side it gave a lot of interest
but this time i want to see if i can just make it kind of psychedelic and funky with uh wrecking
the ring pores so i am using if you haven't seen my other videos i'm using for my pouring medium
US floetrol and gloss medium and varnish and i'll list it all below and that's in my colors
as well for pouring medium my paints are on the thicker side i would say medium thick
and then for the swipe i'm using australian floetrol and amsterdam either white or black paint.
so i'm just gonna go ahead and get started here i have more black in this than white so i'm hoping
that the white is going to start to come out and i may even travel these just a little bit
so this one's going to be a little bit darker and i'm okay with that
and when i mix these paints i think they may have been just a tiny bit thinner than the original
ones that i used and so my colors may have blended just a little bit more but that is okay i'm okay
if this one's gonna turn out a little bit darker it's still gonna have some really pretty interest
whoops that won't matter because i'm wrecking them
okay so i am gonna pour i do this one's gonna be a little bit darker on the darker side so more black
is going to be predominant so i don't know if i should put black or white in the center to
lighten it up i think i'm just going to stick i'm going to stick with the black on this one
why not
yeah a little there we go yeah why not right i do want i like to go for my corners
and i don't worry about wasting paint because i scrape
my table once i'm done which is how i always end up so messy and i got this oh i almost
dropped it i got this really pretty gray color out of my table scrape that i just did so i will
definitely be using that it's almost like a purple gray um all right so let's wreck this like i said
i always get to this point i'm like this is really pretty as it is but i'm just gonna take
my maybe even connect them this way i mean my swipe is going to go through the center
and you don't always have to go in curly cues you know you can create different
designs i like circles in art so i guess maybe that's why i come back to that
but if you just wanted to draw lines through it like oh that is so that pattern is so pretty
wow
this part will likely go off the side anyway
i am extremely tempted to just tilt this out and not swipe but you know what
that is what the series is all about
had a lot of air bubbles and it created these little white
cells everywhere but i'm actually okay with it
this brightline series is just about having fun and brightening up your life right
so experimenting just appreciating whatever comes out and that is for me what i
have been needing all right so i'm going to start close to the center again because
i'm it inevitably will come off the side i really love this part so i don't really want to swipe
through there i might come and i really i might come like that i think so let's go with the red
well i hope i don't mess this one up because i really do like it
you don't need a ton of color because you're gonna swipe that black or white or whatever
swipe color you have across it and it's going to stretch with you so you don't need a ton
and the wider you make your line the more you're gonna have these like blocks of color but i think
i'm gonna go in and wreck those into these rings so i think it'll come out okay um green
i'll go blue
and i'm starting over here because i'm going to swipe through over there
and i don't want to lose my blue and purple color and i am going to swipe with white in this one
because i have so much black there
and i think that will come out okay so i'm just going to lay my swipe white down
and the original idea of this australian flow troll swipe is from shelly art
and i have just been playing around with these
super bright fun colors now the other thing is you don't want to get too much on here because if
you do swipe then the cells won't have a chance to pop through so i'm just going to start right here
i'm going to swipe slow and you want to imagine picking the colors up
and pushing them on along the canvas
oh that one came through the pink and the blue they made i mean the red and the blue
they made this purple this like fuchsia color the orange caught that blue man i love it i love it
i'm gonna swipe over and again you just want a small coat this does not have to be
this is all gonna probably come off the side
oh i love that
so i'll probably end up stretching this side out more and running that side off the canvas
and i don't know if i want to swipe anymore i definitely don't want to swipe through the center
i feel like i'm just going to let this one kind of speak for itself
like my first my art inclination is to come back through and add a little
bit more color here but i think what i'm going to do is just shift the composition
to the part that i like up here and have that be more of the center
and have some of that go off but who knows let's stretch it out and see
i could just be blabbing to you for nothing right
all right
stand a little bit
oh okay
my black is definitely thinner this time than it was last time
i already really like this and i love the lines that are through here
this one is a dark piece but i like it i do like it all right i'm gonna flip you on around
i normally flip this like a pizza box or a pizza but the paint's really thin so or thinner
so i don't want it to go flying so now i'm gonna come off this side
okay
oh i love those lines only thing is i wish they would have connected right through here
and i'm just going to do it right now if you wish
that something looked a certain way just go ahead and do it
there we go okay
so now i'm going to turn it around and i'm going to stretch up
and over this way a little bit see how that does
all right let's do it
flip this back around this is a 15 by 30 inch canvas so it's not super huge but it's enough
all right let's see if i can do this
i'm actually right-handed but i flip much better with my left hand i don't know
so i'm going to come up oh i see a little piece of something i'm going to get it out now
over and then back this way and that's going to stretch those colors all the way out over there
all the way to that edge yes
oh this one is so pretty
like i said i do wish i had just a little bit more this looks like a mer like a whale's tail up there
so now i may stretch back down this way just a little bit because i'm i'm
i'm missing a little bit right through here so let me wipe my hands
man that side
unreal love it
okay so i'm gonna what would be really cool is to do one of these swipes in just metallic colors
i bet that's really pretty
ah did i do it okay all right
y'all these swipes are they're not supposed to be messy but somehow i make them extremely mess like
look at me
okay this
a dream okay so this last part you have to be really careful because
you'll start to make everything kind of wonky on the sides
i just i kind of like the
what is it juxtaposition of super bright and then like almost monochromatic and there is this orange
line that's running through here it's really pretty all right so i'm going to come this way
and then back over
and down
hopefully it moves those colors and it doesn't like mess everything up
i do not want to lose that orange
i think that's a much better composition
oh it's so organic looking
yes i must say i like this a lot
i just accidentally tried to get something out of
there and touched and now i have to run that line all the way through
just one part of me wishes
that that i just i don't know
just touching ever so lightly through here
i don't i don't wanna i don't wanna fiddle anymore i don't think
the only thing i may say i may just tilt it this way just a little bit
that's it
i love it i really do i like it all right
i'm going to give this one a good torch i see lots of air bubbles in there and then i'll show you
what i got i wanted to start by showing you that side if i could bottle that and sell it i would
all right let me show you all right so here it is i'll start from this corner i
had a couple like right there which doesn't even matter because it's everything else is
so busy but i had to pick something out so i had that little spot there but look at that
how bright that is again that's my favorite color combination right there and then it kind of fades
out and this is that orange line that i was talking about that runs all the way through it
and then there's the interest over there
like those wrecked rings that i did
so that's what it looks like super organic really loving this
all right i'll show you what it looks like dry
i am honestly really excited about this piece my black was a little bit thin
so my design didn't hold as much i noticed that pretty early on but i it's really cool
and that's what i've been going for with this series is just funky fun experimentation i i'm
gonna have to go back and watch the video because i don't know where this blue piece came from
oh maybe you'll see it in the video i don't know but i do like that extra pop of red right there it
gives something else that one right there to draw the eye to but i like it i am digging this series
well i hope that you enjoyed this video thank you so much for watching HAPPY painting bye
