hi everyone it's molly! thank you so much for being here!
i'm going to be doing a painting tonight for a lovely lady named stacey. i'm going to be doing it
in all pinks with a little bit of silver and gray and it's very special painting for her it means
a lot to her which also makes me nervous to try to make something that is has just as much meaning
so that's what i'm gonna try tonight and i'm gonna do it in this style which i've ended up calling
turbulence because these paintings really remind me of water pushing over itself and
i really love covering the whole canvas and just getting this really beautiful soft effect
so that's what i'm going to do tonight and it's going to be a pink party let's paint
all right hello pretty in pinks today the pink party i shall call it
um i am doing this commission for stacy so i did a while back the painting places series and that
is the design that i'm gonna do tonight so i am going to pour all the paints all over the canvas
and then blow them in different directions now because it's pinks i am a little bit worried
that it will just come out pink and i won't have a lot of definition i can't even fit them
all on here um but i'll tell you the colors that i'm using so i'm using a bright magenta
i'm using a um oh i actually don't oh this is quinacridone rose i almost forgot this is a color
that i made it is uh bluish gray or grayish blue and silver mixed together with a little bit of a
dark darker gray this is the light rose and then this is venetian rose so i'm hoping that these two
bright pinks will go nicely with the kind of soft pink and the peaches tone and i'm hoping that the
blue will give it enough contrast so i think i'm gonna start when i'm doing the ones like
this i like starting with like my darker colors to really kind of figure out where those are gonna go
i actually would never have done this color palette myself i don't think
but i love the picture that stacy sent me
okay so i think that's enough for now and if i have enough left over for another video i
may do the gray bluish gray base with a flower blow out because i think that's really pretty
so when i'm doing these i like to alternate light to dark or contrasting so i think i'll go
i think i'll go with my super light pink next so i cover the canvas for part of it but then i also
try to overlap the colors some so that when i blow them i get some reactions and you're gonna want
to pour most of the paint closer to the center and it will flow as you blow out to the edges
but you don't want to puddle too much paint in the center because then your painting may not dry flat
okay so i've got those two pinks together those are very pretty i think i'm gonna come in
hmm i don't know maybe i'll come in with my
yeah maybe i'll come in with this color next oh i hope this doesn't mess this up
but i think it's going to give it just the right amount
of added kind of contrast in there at least i hope so
and i debated adding white
oh i was just talking to you and just kept pouring and kept pouring there
okay so now i'm gonna go in with my
and i've got a lot of paint already so i need to be careful my other pink
oh well
very lightly drizzling that pink on there and i'm gonna scrape my table and i'll have a
a really pretty pink so yeah i debated going in with
some white as well and i think i might so i will have to mix some up
all right oh this has got a lot of air bubbles bubbles hadn't done that in a while all right
see this is what i'm talking about already i have a lot of paint in the middle i'm gonna
have to blow that off because i was talking to you and just kept pouring but i want to
make sure that i have enough of this color so it doesn't look like much right now but
it's going to be amazing
i hope
okay so that is it and i do have enough so i am going to do a flower blowout as well
and then i'm gonna get some white okay so i mixed up i did this really fast so it's got air
bubbles i'm gonna have to pop this really good and torch and for the white hoping it's not too thin
okay all right so let me pop all the air bubbles
and some people ask doesn't this scorch the paint and the answer is it can
if you hold it there too long but i just hold it a little bit away
and pass right over okay so i am going to blow this out now what i'm going to do i'm going to
start in the center and start blowing towards the edges and every so often i'm going to blow
back in the other direction so i'm not going to have it be symmetrical
so
okay so i it's much harder to do this on a small canvas so if anyone's trying on anything smaller
than a 20 by 20. it is difficult because you have to have enough room to blow back and forth um i do
wish i had maybe just a little bit more magenta over here on this side i debated even just like
pouring it there i might just do it right now like pouring it right here and then blowing it off
just for a little bit more contrast
and then just dragging it on through in here
i know it seems like such a small thing
but it really does help balance the painting out and i think i may do it right here as well
just a tiny bit
yes yes yes okay so the i'm gonna torch it and some more kind of you know cells will come up and
i'll pop the air bubbles and then when this dries this i guess really as i was blowing it out i was
thinking about it and i kind of i guess i'm gonna call this series that i've been doing turbulence
because that's what it reminds me of but i'm going to give this a good torch and then i think
when it dries the colors are going to dry a little bit darker the magenta is going to
dry darker and the silver is gonna really pop through so um stay tuned i will i'm going to
torch this and then i'll show you it wet and then i'll show you a dry so it is very pink
and uh but it's not like just one solid color pink so i'll take you in
i really like actually how soft this one is and like i said i think the
the silver is going to dry really pretty i love that flesh tone peach color in there
and this one's going to have so many intricate lines and details
and then i added the magenta on that side right there and then over there
and it just i think it's gonna dry well
pleasing to the eye all right i'll show you what it looks like dry
i was trying to decide which way i like it best and i think i like it this way the silver
it dried and it shines really beautifully there are so many details that are in here
and it's it is really chaotic but at the same time it's very soothing to me it's very
soft and i really like the contrast of the dark magenta so i was hoping when i made it
that it would dry this deep dark color and it did and it adds just the perfect pop to this
and i was worried that that gray would be like really muddy but it's not i think it's just
perfect it's got like a hint of a purplish tone to it i am really really happy about this piece
stacy you are a wonderful person and
i really hope that you love this painting and i appreciate you so much
all right thank you everyone so much for watching! hope you enjoyed the video! happy painting! bye
