hey guys today i am super excited because i am attempting my one puddle split
another time except this time my experiment will be on an 18 by 36 inch canvas so it's a long
rectangle instead of like a smaller one so the way i'm going to prepare my puddle will have to
be different more like long you know and it's for a super nice lady who lives in british columbia
she's a teacher and she really liked the last one that i did she said oh my gosh that's what i want
um a bit of the same color so i'm going again with the blue and the um gold and i'm gonna have
here my white that's gonna go underneath crazy white mix and the black is for on top
so let me obviously tie my hair up set my camera up and i am going for this
okay so the white goes down first this is satin enamels mixed with artist loft
then the blue you see what i mean by like how i have to make a long
puddle so that when i move it around i don't have to go so far
we're having some fun shapes here people
i'm going to keep a little bit i almost put it all i was like in days
okay i'm gonna sort of stretch it out
now paints have to be thin for this technique
all puddles basically for me i have two consistencies one is for more like ring pores
where i try my best to make it thick and then i have i generally prepare my paints very thin
so now this is what i did last time and this created a ring of gold around the cells
this technique is so
fascinating
so you see the way the the paint moves here and how it doesn't move right there oh yeah sorry
that's just because right there the paint is a little bit thicker so like that's the
importance of trying to prepare to prepare all your paints very very thin and all the same
okay so now for the black
do i have enough paint on there god i'm gonna put a bit more gold right there
okay
there i'm putting it all
right away we have the gold reacting god it's so pretty okay oh crap
i just want to look at those form i can even see some white coming through
isn't it fascinating i'm not crazy right i'm not crazy this is so damn
interesting okay so now the goal is to fill up the whole thing with black
oh my god am i gonna have enough
that was not this is not easy this size here very different than the rectangle
oh my god it's reacting so fast
i'm just gonna
fix the sides here
oh that's very cool now in the 36 by 24 i added a lot of white
because it was for a dental office but this one the lady said she didn't want as much white as in
that one so i'm gonna give this a bit of time and see how i like the composition and maybe
maybe add some white or not
okay so i forgot to put the line of paint through my puddle like the split part before moving it
around that's one thing but i think that the way that the paint was stretched and how it was like
fairly hard to cover it all properly um i think that i mean it's okay
i can live with it
i'm really loving this here
negative space is so important and i don't know if
you can see it on the camera but there is a lot of gold
here now what i'm gonna do is add a little bit of uh satin enamels into
my crazy white mix because it's a mix that doesn't contain that much satin enamels and what i want
is um a big reaction for what i'm about to do so i'm just gonna add a bit more in there
okay so we're basically like maximum 10 minutes after um after i moved it around so
yep this is what we call paint reactions people now i have this incredibly reacting mix here
hopefully i did it properly and you see how the paint is sort of pulling
from the edges there and how you can see through it that's mostly because the paint is very thin
and uh i'm sort of gonna come in and imprison the painting there i'm going with that
so
my
back this is maybe 45 minutes later an hour i don't know how long this took but it takes
longer than on the video that's for sure and it is safe to say that this is my new style
first time i got this was by accident i'm talking about with including the white around it there
and then i attempted a second time it worked this is my third time it worked
um not enough time has gone by uh for the white to push in to the center
but i still want to go in and show you guys the details it's so cool
i'm liking this huge mega blue cell there
and i accidentally oh god it's gone when i came to pour some white i accidentally
went through the paint with the bottom part of my cup it made a line and i was like oh
man how am i going to fix that and i decided to just wait and see because
i knew the paint would continue to change and like you can't even see it anymore it's right
there
whatever i find that it looks like the paint blooms
right
okay so stay tuned for the dried result can't wait to see it like on which side it's gonna look good
back with the dried result i'm showing you the opposite side first i'm going to show you on the
other side in like two seconds i just wanted you guys to get a feel of it this way oh yeah
this is the right side it's perfect like this it also looks good standing up but
this is really the best direction i find for it now oh the sun is popping up so
you can see as i move the reflection from the black i did not add any varnish yet
oddly my favorite part is that blue
thingamajig and the fake crack that's there oh my god i love the fake crack
and it's smooth there's like it dried perfectly and i'm loving the gold against the couch
hope you guys like this have a good one
you
