all right back at it again! so this one i am going to be doing a swipe and scoop again
but with a black base. so i don't actually think i've done this before. i think all three that i've done thus
far have been with white bases. and my white paint interacted a little interesting this last time
so and it was creative inspirations white, and sometimes that could be
really cell reactive. so i'm going to i have a black base mixed up and it is Amsterdam black
mixed with pouring medium and gloss medium varnish. so my floetrol gloss medium varnish
varnish mixture and for this technique you want to have a good base on the canvas because it's really
going to be whatever you're going to stretch out. so you want it to be enough i'm just going to
do this i hope i'm back in
view and then i'm gonna pop the air bubbles and then i'm gonna put a little bit more in there
because i had just mixed this paint it definitely has
a lot more air bubbles in it if you want to try to reduce your air bubbles bubbles
for those of you that have never watched me before sorry
for those of you that have know what i'm talking about um anywho so if you want to try to reduce
the amount of air bubbles you can i don't even know why i still say it that way you can um mix
small amounts of pouring medium in at a time so don't dump your whole pouring medium or your whole
you know water whatever you're using don't do it all at one time go in very small increments
and make a creamy paste out of the paint and then you can thin it down further and
even then you'll still get some air bubbles but you can stir slowly and really just try
to incorporate it well and it and it gets rid of a lot of them then otherwise you just torch
okay so i have my base down i am not gonna forget to swipe so i'm gonna swipe with white
first in my last video i started laying down the colors before i had even swiped
so i'm interested to see how this black how the white swipe holds up against the black
a napkin
okay it's not bad it's holding up okay the white normally it's a little bit
heavier it tends to sink down through the colors i'm gonna swipe a little bit slower
the way to try to mitigate this is to leave your paints a little bit thicker
or you can have your cell activator a little bit thicker
so i'm going to swipe a little bit slower
giving the white time to react
okay i think once i stretch that out i'll still get some of the the lacing the black gave me
trouble the last time i used it and i was using creative inspirations i'm going to swipe this way
this time and i am just gliding right over the surface
that one came out really well let's see if it starts to mix on down through there
need to do a better swipe than that all right
i think i'm going to do one more here and one more here
i'm going to leave a good amount on the
palette knife this time and see if that makes any difference
and i'm again just going really lightly over the surface
so that left some pretty good areas
of white on there
okay first part is done what do you think
i swear if my neighbors if i had like neighbors really super close by me
they would think that i'm out in my garage talking to myself every day a little awkward
okay let me in reality i'm talking to you personally
okay i'm gonna go here you know what i'm just gonna pour these on out
in no particular order
i'm using up the leftovers from when olga sobi was here makes me sad that she's gone
but we are going to get back together again me her and rinska this time
all right so now i'll do my blue right here maybe my blue in here
and my blue right there maybe i'll get a green out of those two
i feel like i'm gonna end up with all my purples down there so i'm gonna do one purple here
one purple here and one purple there
my turquoise
through here
i think i'm going to do that last little bit right there i don't have a ton
okay i am going to swipe these i'm first going to pop air bubbles again
just because i see them
all right and when i'm swiping i don't want the air bubbles just to pop up when i swipe and then
you've got kind of different colors mixed in with it i mean it could be a cool technique maybe
but it's not really what i was going for here okay i think i'm gonna oh
okay now i have to think because i normally swipe across all the colors and they blend together
but maybe i'm gonna swipe we'll just see what happens
i swiped all the colors separately that time in a line in a diagonal diagonal in like a vertical
line that way let's see that gave each color its own separate like time to shine
i'm gonna do the small one for this
very interesting i don't know why i've never done it like that that was pretty interesting i am
going to swipe through these i personally like it when they kind of mix together and blend together
you can let me know your thoughts if you want but that was pretty interesting that way
all right
here we go again
i have to remind myself not to hold my breath
okay that was the purple so that's a predominant purple one right there i'm gonna swipe this one
and again this is not gonna look like this when you're finished
it's not like one of the paintings where you just kind of stretch it out and you're
really trying to get like a certain composition this is going to be wrecked
it's going to be scooped
is that like a new thing like oh man i went out last night i got so scooped
having this new camera angle really makes me feel like i'm talking to you so
i'm probably talking more than i even normally do
all right i don't know where i want to go with this one
okay across to the side the colors are still bright so even on the black base
the colors are doing really nicely so that's good and then i don't know if i want to do
my small one no yeah because i'm going to leave this little area here of just color
and then there's just one little part that i don't like that i'm just gonna kind of draw through
i am liking this
those parts are going to come off anyway i'm not like super worried about it
let's do it let's stretch it out okay
oh i got a scoop i always forget about this part i kind of liked it like this
okay i have to think about where i want to scoop so i'm going to start right here
i covered up all that yellow maybe the black wasn't such a good idea
i don't want to mess up that area
see now i don't like what happened there
i just wanted to scoop that on out
okay let's see how this goes
alright hoping that my colors are going to stretch out nicely
and i had a lot more paint on that side so i'm going to stretch to
this side first i really like all of that
hoping it doesn't all go off okay i saved the orange
oh because i love that all right so here i want to save those colors first bring it back
wow
this is so cool
yes now my white lines at the beginning they're gone you can't see those so the
little extra swipe that i do at the beginning didn't really hold up but
i like this all right
i'm gonna get my last little
area here
go down to this side and then i'll touch up my sides
i have to think how i want that to flow off that end
now i want to bring that back
oh yes
love it
lost a little bit of orange down the side there
it's okay though
all right i'm going to take you in i'm going to show you what it looks like and i'll show
you what it looks like dry too be right back i'm actually going to show you from this side
of the table so that my lights don't get too much in the way
but here those cells stretched out tons of lacing up through here
i love that lacing design
here you've got the regular and that orange over that magenta and the purple wow
and that orange right there lost the rest of it off the side but brought it back right there
so i am really happy with this one i still am thinking i like the white
better but i like this one all right i'll show you what it looks like dry
okay here this one is look at that it is so cool the lacing is like looks electrified
and is in the color that it's swiped across i've got a bold patch here
and then i've got this gorgeous rainbow swipe that's up the side so super cool
i think i think that i like the white swipe and scoop better
but the details in this one are amazing
all right well i hope that you enjoyed the video. thank you for watching! happy painting! bye!
