- Hello, everyone.
We have a really fun art supply to use today.
I bought it on Amazon a couple days ago, but admittedly,
I didn't quite pay attention when I bought this,
so this was a really cute thing to arrive in the mail.
I wanted to get like magnetic canvases
to paint on for gifts for the holidays.
And (laughs) I just think this is so cute.
Like look at all these little paints and stuff in here.
Like what a pleasant surprise.
Yeah, so these technically are not canvases, it's MDF tile.
But they have like little magnets and stuff in here
that you just attach to the back of them,
so that's really cool.
Let's open her up, all right?
Warning.
Wow, that is like a very thorough warning sticker.
Okay, it says draw and paint on your tile, leave it to dry,
and then you put varnish over it
and then you stick the magnet to the back.
Pretty self-explanatory.
So when I ordered this,
it was pretty surprising that they came with paints.
And this is super, super generous.
However, I would like to use my Acryla gouache with this,
but I think I'm gonna donate these
to like a teacher or a counselor or something in my city,
because I don't typically use like this type of paint
and I would rather it go towards somebody
who could make use of it.
I might use the varnish though,
because this is pretty handy.
These tiles are actually like super nice, too.
Like a lot more solid than I thought they would be.
This comes with 10 tiles, that's awesome.
Like super generous. I'm really impressed.
Let's have some fun. Let's get started.
Here's all our little magnet pieces.
How much did I pay for this? Hold on.
Dude. I only paid 9.99 for this.
That's a good deal.
This is not sponsored, I'm just having fun making some art.
This also came with some paint brushes.
I will probably donate these too, though.
Also. I finally sniped this super cute paint palette
from Sugarhouse Ceramic Co., and I'm so excited.
I've been trying to get this specific palette
for probably like close to a year.
It's nice to support another artist, too.
Let's get started.
Let's have some fun, make some art,
and if it doesn't look okay, that's okay too,
'cause we're just here for the ride.
Let's open this gouache
Ooh, yes, it's been a while man.
Time for some painting.
(upbeat music)
I know I said this in my last video,
but finally feeling like I'm settled into a space again
is such an amazing feeling.
Okay, you can see on this palette here,
I have some like brownish paint colors,
and I think I would like to do like a base coat with these.
Okay, I'm gonna take you down with me now.
Let's just coat some of these.
It's gonna be a good time.
A good time.
Guys. (nervously chuckling)
I'm gonna just try something.
Maybe I'm supposed to paint on this side.
For the sake of this painting video, I am,
because I already set up my whole gouache palette
and this is what I wanna use.
We'll just set this little guy aside.
I am sensing that we should like
really hang out in this video and make a lot of art.
So what if we try to do five mini magnet paintings together?
And then if this one ends up being fun,
we can use the other five together some other time.
So bust out your art supplies or, I don't know,
do your laundry with me.
Let's hang out.
Okay, so for the first piece,
I have a friend who loves making homemade bread.
She has brought me bread on so many occasions.
She's like such a good human, I love her.
Her name is Annie.
And (sighs) I just want to surprise her
with a bread painting
because it's like her hobby to make bread.
(warm music)
All right, let's do the background first, shall we?
I'm low-key so excited to do this. (laughs)
Let's do like a somewhat sage colored foreground.
(warm music continues)
Are you bready for this? (chuckles)
All right, we're getting there.
I think we're gonna have to do a couple layers
for the bread loaves
so we can build up some value.
But everything is blocked in, so thumbs up to that.
Almost everything, you'll see, something's coming.
At yeast if we make mistake, we can keep on layering.
(warm music continues)
Oh, it's starting to look like bread
and I'm getting excited and now I want bread.
(warm music continues)
This here is like supposed to be burlap.
Trying to keep things wet here.
Okay.
(warm music continues)
Okay, I want to do like a little sprig of greenery
in here with this, so let's see what we can do.
(warm music continues)
I just had a really good idea.
Okay, okay, okay.
You know me and my gold colors.
I think we should paint the edge of this canvas gold.
Yeah, the more I think about it,
the more awesome that sounds, so let's see.
Let's see what happens.
I think it worked out really well. (laughs)
Glad we did that.
I should stop touching it though 'cause I smeared it.
Time to do another painting,
or time to eat some of Annie's bread
'cause I have some at home.
(warm music)
Okay, let's see here.
What should we do for this one?
I have a really good idea.
I think it would be really fun
to try to paint some candles, you know?
I don't know how it will go,
but we're gonna try a nighttime scene.
Give us some like fall vibes, you know?
(warm music continues)
Okay, now I want to do the background
and I'll probably do like a dark blue at first.
(warm music continues)
I am somewhat alluding to a pumpkin in the background.
I'm gonna get rid of the pumpkin in the background. (laughs)
I decided against it, like right after I said that.
It's okay, sometimes less is more.
And in the case of this painting, less is more. (laughs)
Let's figure out how to paint these flames.
It shouldn't be too hard.
There's like a yellowish hue about them.
(introspective music)
Okay, this one needs to dry for a little bit,
so in the meantime, we're gonna move on to another one.
How are you doing, little piece?
(introspective music)
Okay, I think for this one,
I want to do like a folk arty witch hat type thing.
(introspective music continues)
Do I have a super tiny brush?
Ooh, I do, I have two of them.
Let's paint.
Okay, so yeah, I think I want to do some fun
little like botanicals all around this.
(introspective music continues)
I'm gonna lighten this entire hat.
I'm not happy with it anymore.
Wow, this gold really lights things up.
I wanna do like little gold berries too.
I'm just into the gold.
(gentle music)
Ugh, this one might be my favorite one so far.
This one was just so fun yet so simple.
I think we need to revisit this one, though.
(gentle music continues)
Aw, it's kind of fun painting flames.
Okay, so now I need to decide if I want like
stuff to kind of glow around these candles.
We can make that work.
Ooh, what if we did like an impressionistic style?
(gentle music continues)
Oh, I almost wanna do gold dots all over this one too,
like twinkles in the background.
I'm doing it.
(gentle music continues)
All right, I'm pretty happy with how this one came out.
It looks pretty sweet.
I just had a realization,
but these two paintings together
kind of remind me of "Harry Potter."
That makes me really happy. (laughs)
Oh, I need to watch "Harry Potter" again. It's been awhile.
Let's do another piece.
Also, do you see those like little
rays of sunshine? (laughs)
I need to shut my blinds.
Okay, this painting, I think I know what I wanna do, guys.
Okay, I need to do like a bright orangy background again.
See what we can do.
I need to spray all this.
Y'all are getting dry.
Ooh, I love this color.
(gentle music)
Got to let that dry.
So last year around this timeish,
I sort of did a Christmas ornament painting thing.
And I did like impressionistic wild flowers.
And you know, sometimes I miss those days.
We're going back to some fun times today.
I'm gonna try it with a different approach, though.
You can see I did a bright orange background.
I'm gonna try to get some of that to glow through.
I like these like glowy effect paintings.
I wish I had regular red gouache.
Might have to get some of that.
Ooh, I really like this limey, greeny color.
Oh, I should probably wait to use that, though.
Let me finish the flowers.
I'm getting ahead of myself. (laughs)
Okay, I wanna do some like cream colored blossoms and stuff.
(whimsical music)
Let's paint the sky.
How exciting.
(whimsical music continues)
All right, here's our wild flowers.
I kind of like how simple yet abstract this one is.
It's just like a bunch of paint blobs,
but it makes a picture, especially far way.
Okay, for our last painting,
I think I want to go the simpleish route again.
Let's do a pinky canvas.
(spirited music)
Okay, I would like to write some words on this one.
Sometimes that's fun.
(spirited music continues)
Okay, this one was definitely more simple,
but I just really wanted to make a magnet that says this
so that whoever opens the refrigerator
can get a really positive reminder
that we all need to see from time to time.
So yeah, if you're going through a hard time right now,
or maybe you're just doubting yourself
and you need a little reminder you matter,
I thought that was a really fun one.
And there was no stress
for like shading and getting everything to look right.
It just had a simple message.
So the only thing I have to do now is paint the edges.
Oh, we have to add the magnets, okay.
Do you ever just have like a hair
that's hiding on you somewhere, but you feel it tickle you?
Ugh.
We need to put the magnets on.
We're at least gonna do that on video
so we can, you know, have the joy of creating magnets.
I don't wanna clickbait you guys.
Are you bready to turn into a magnet?
The answer is yes.
Okay, this is where I kind of have an issue
with this little art set.
I was under the impression that two of these
would go on the back of each piece of canvas,
and they only sent 10 of these.
But like, how is this gonna be strong enough
to hold the painting up and like a piece of paper?
I'm putting two under them because,
(inhales) yeah, I just can't here.
We're doing two.
Ooh, there's one.
It is not centered.
I don't know how I messed that up.
Okay, let's try another one.
There we go, we like that.
Look at that.
Got our magnets on the back.
Mm, this is good.
Also, I think I'm gonna change my mind with the varnish
because I really like the matte finish
with this Acryla gouache.
And with Acryla gouache, it does not reactivate with water,
so I think we're fine.
It is a personal preference.
I know a lot of people
would probably varnish Acryla gouache,
but I don't want to so it's all good.
I really like the amount of heaviness that these have
after the magnets are added to the back.
Just my side thought.
So I just remembered
I have these oil paint markers from ARTEZA,
and I really, really like them.
And I think they work really well
for like touching up edges of stuff.
So I'm gonna use these and touch up the edges of my canvas.
I think this is a cool way to give them some color.
I think I'll do orange for this one.
Or should I do yellow?
Oh, this is hard.
I'm gonna do yellow.
(chill music)
That worked really, really well.
Look at that.
Nice.
Pretty happy with it.
Glad I remembered I had these.
Ah, I'm so happy
with how the edges of these are turning out.
I'm gonna do the same blue for this candle one,
because I really like the shade of blue.
Alrighty, the edges are painted
on everything except this one,
'cause this one is still drying.
But I really enjoyed this entire painting experience.
Like this one here, it's nice and subtle,
but there's a little witch hat,
some little gold berries and stuff.
And I think it might be one of my favorites, I don't know.
But this candle one was really fun. I enjoyed this a lot.
Anyway, that's all the art we have left for today.
However, we have five of these MDF board canvases
left to make future magnets.
So if you would like to see another one of these videos,
drop a comment down below and maybe I will make this
like a two part series if you guys are enjoying it.
Thank you so much for watching.
I will see you next week with some more fun art.
Bye!
