This Small Change Took this Painting to the Next Level! - Acrylic Pouring Experiment

back at it again everyone! I am continuing off of the video that I did about what's on my shelf and so I used Satin enamels. by the way I have already used up a bottle! I made a big tub of the Pearl activator with the satin enamel around the side. this video I'm going to test out a few things one. my composition; two, another color set; three, I tinted the base color so that it doesn't have to be white. so we're going to see how that one turns out let's paint all right so I made this color out of white reg and this is regular white that's going to go in the center where my swipe is going to go I made this color out of white um turquoise blue and a little bit of like a Periwinkle color and it came out like a um like a sky blue light actually so this is going to be in my Center I'm going to pour this around and then I actually want to pour a little bit of like spokes off of the sides of some of them because I don't want my color to go all the way around I want my actual color with no reaction to come off some of those sides so I might even swipe a little bit of that paint over all right that a torch oh I love experimenting it's so much fun and you know it's not even that like I'm creating something like novel or new like multiple people have worked with satin enamel before but it's new to me and that is what makes not satin enamel I've used them for like six years I've been experimenting but when I try something new like the swipe combination just like I did with my dreamcloud series like it's so much fun to just experiment oh I love it all right okay so I have my colors here I kind of wish I had a little bit more of this color I might mix up just a little bit more of this color because I don't want as much of a cell reaction around the sides all right so this is just a little bit darker but I'm actually okay with that so I'm just going to pour this it's just going to be kind of like a two-toned okay so that's kind of how I want it like a spokes coming out on the sides okay all right so now I'm going to layer my color I have like so many different whites I'm trying to keep them all separate now I'm going to layer in my colors and if this works I'm going to do this on a I think a 3ftx 3ot canvas or maybe even larger so okay so now I'm going to go with my Periwinkle color again I want lots of color on these so Periwinkle here my turquoise blue here I'm using ultramarine violet and then dang I feel like I want my yellow right here actually a little bit and then a little bit more at this end so I'm starting over closer here because I'm going to swipe the colors on up well it's not quite in a star shape anymore is oh no we're not in what is it we're not in I keep I want to say Wonderland we're not in The Wizard of Oz anymore Dorothy all right okay so now I'm going to I had blue paint everywhere back to being messy at least new one of my New Year's resolutions was not to be cleaner because I would have already been failing at that lots of air bubbles popping up on these cuz I just mixed it and then I have another idea I want to do because I think it will look like flickering Flames coming out of it I want to do one with fire colors with a black swipe and the white around the outside I think it'll be really cool okay so here we go coming on in swiping on through oh I didn't put my um oh cuz I ah ah oh and I shouldn't have done that either because I want that to go on the side oh look at how pretty that is okay you know what you are going to have to come off the side sorry buddy and then this is going to go I tried to mix up more of this but I think what I might do is like spread it around a little bit so that it gets to the edges a little bit better okay and then I guess so I didn't scrape off my table last time either because I felt like it it had like way too many different ingredients in it to reuse it but I'm wondering if maybe I can and reuse it and it'll have those same this have the same reaction I don't know we are going to find out and I will keep you posted okay so I don't know do I do the same swipe or do I swipe back this way I think maybe I'll swipe the same way on this one maybe out over and then I'll swipe through the satin mixture oo I'm getting it starting it's working I don't know why I always sing my words when I'm excited but I do inevitably that probably drives someone crazy but okay now what do I do with the center do I keep maybe I keep a little part of the center with actual color I feel like maybe I want to do a swipe out there with the smaller palette knife again these swipe videos where I'm like doing multiple things they take so long so I appreciate you all watching through them some of you like to watch and just learn as I learn but as I experiment I try to keep my videos around 10 to 15 minutes normally but sometimes I talk too much and my videos end up being much longer okay going to swipe up through here and then that will come off that side I think for this experiment I'm just going to leave it be for now and let's see how this one comes out I love that color okay and then wish me luck I don't know what colors I'm going to do on the big one yet because it'll probably be for Arty gr to that is definitely not the way that glove goes it'll probably be for Arty gr to sell so my stuff at Arty gr normally neutrals and blues sell the best um even though those aren't always the colors that are the most fun but and I will say some of my super colorful stuff so maybe I'll do like a rainbow type one because sometimes if you get a buyer that has a really colorful house those colors do well too all right here we go I can already see that cell reaction happening off that front end but that is going to go away going to bring it back to this end over here I want the color to cover the canvas and then I want those colors to roll over uhoh I might not get the cery I might have put too much paint in the center on this one y'all this is so pretty though wow oh my goodness this is really pretty I'm starting to get tiny little bits of the color popping through it's not a ton though but that's kind of what I was going for I wanted more than this I I had too much paint in that Center where I had it the first time I should have stopped there but I am I'm getting the reaction starting to pop up okay okay I can see that my paint is almost like it's not breaking necessarily but if you see it happening it's where like little it gets a little bit grainy so I'm actually going to drag actually I think I want to do it with this going to drag down through it a little bit and I wanted that blue line to carry up through there I feel like maybe I should just take this entire section right here come off and then do I have any more of this I didn't like what I did with my finger and I have enough paint that I think I can tilt this and it gives it a little bit more of a break and then I can bring my finger back through here so I don't want to mess up these cells too much because I really really like this painting but I do want to blend that back in together okay okay bring it back okay I'm getting the the Cloudy cells kind of eating up the outside the Pearl cells super happy with it I actually like the variation in colors that's there from mixing those two base coats now again I will say I used too much paint in the center I wanted a little bit more of a cell reaction on the outside um but live and learn and this will continue to develop so I'm going to leave it be for now I'll show you okay here we go you can see them starting to pop up on the sides where there wasn't any you can see the it for the most part stayed as the color here you can see it's starting to pop up I think it's so cool and then see it's almost the same color so I think next time I am going to try the fire color one but I think the next time I will use a different color for the base than the cells popping through all right this what is so cool look at all the swipes super cool I torched a little too hard there little too close to the Sun on that one and I got some extra cells but I'm okay with it it's really cool all right I'll show you how it dries I am really happy with this one so I had that little part at the bottom and that's okay that I had to do that I did like it before that part but the I think I either torched too much or stretched um those paints out right after I torched and I just needed to correct that little section but look at the little Pearl cells and it worked with the different color now I have multiple colors in this base and at first I was worried about that but I actually really like that but you can see the little pearls and no break it comes out just really really beautiful and I love the effect of kind of the softness of the outside with the big bold swipes in the center so super happy with this one I think I will probably do one more in fire colors look at those cells in that swipe I'm telling you I still love the effects of the swipe and then I may move on to a big one um still using up the things off my shelf super excited about this. all right thank you everyone for watching! happy painting! bye!
