 What's up, everyone. Hi. Hello. How are you. It's me Erica. And today. I'm working on A palette knife painting. I'm in The very beginning stages of this piece in the process. So just pull up the chat. I was trying to go over that part. But That little guy I say, yeah. Okay, don't worry about that. Okay. She looks like a science experiment so far but um What's up Carrie Shannon. What's up? This isn't gonna be a particularly long video I just wanted to show you guys a little bit of the process Arguably I make this a little bit harder than it should be I think I still try to paint like paint brush style with a palette knife instead of how most probably all palette knife people Are there palette knife people? I imagine there's palette knife people How they paint But anyways This is just my style of my way of doing this So I don't know if you can see The client wanted texture and so I am doing texture You're chilling at sonic bring me back a limade. Hello, jerry. Carrie I'm very excited about the fall art sale That will be happening This is a thursday. Oh my goodness. It's tomorrow Whoo, that will be happening tomorrow And I hope you guys can join me for that Sounds like my boy dog's having a problem boi. You're okay. She's So when you work with a palette knife, it is not the easiest it looks easy It looks so easy Well, maybe I maybe the difference is that I don't make it look easy But when working with palette knife you can Let me pick a color and show you Friday tomorrow a td sale. Yes Um, let me grab a something. I guess we'll just do a flesh tone I am not an expert in anything actually And This is no exception. So with a palette knife you can apply Like by pushing a lot of pressure so if you You're like all over the place We I'm trying to find a place where I wanted this color. Do you want me to do it here or here? Okay, so you can apply a lot of pressure and make it thin That way you have like a highlight in the middle like this But this client wanted the The texture So I'm going to kind of just glide across the surface so that you can see a little bit of this overlapping Color And I have gone over the same areas a thousand times trying to calm down the texture and then deciding It's too smooth and building it back up. That's what I'm saying. I am In no way an expert at this but When I use Palette knife for artwork, I also mix in some impasto medium And looks like this It's just a very thick clear gel medium And it's super thick and it just makes the body or Um, I guess the body of your paints thicker Sorry, I'm looking for a color and I kind of brain farted And you can do a whole bunch of things too. I haven't mixed any of the impasto into this paint So it's on the thicker side. I mean thinner side. It's just out of the tube And if I don't want heavy peaks, then I will use less impasto medium and just use a heavy body acrylic sounds like tutors here And when I do palette knife pieces, I try to have my I guess it would still be called a paint stroke flowing in the same direction as What the thing is that I'm Painting so bowie just go see So when I'm Doing hair for example, it's flowing in this like C shape. I'll apply The paint going in that C shape So you can kind of imply your The direction More messy Just it's a knife like that like you just Okay, you're like you're literally using it as a paintbrush on the other parts like That's why I don't understand why you just don't use a paintbrush with a lot of paint on it and just I love all of the sound effects Yeah Well, I can do that I can always go back and add and since we underpainted it I can leave it thin in some areas like that and it looks like a highlight Do you want to show me This with a paintbrush Oh, we can yeah In my head just take a bunch of this color Basically you're carving the paint That's how I would see it instead of I mean, I mean, it's true. It's not the most Um, I guess I never understood like palette brush like I nailed that color so I like just like that like you're as you put it down do that just put it down like that's what it's for it's not like See you're like smooth it out like I would hand Well That's how I figured that's how you saw it like when you first started seeing it And then you just started to get literal like you're using me. That's a paintbrush and that's a problem. I just I just have You know, I try to idealize it and You're you're I guess it would be like thinking about it too much. Yeah, that is definitely using the you know I'm trying to be loose with it But I would like and just real fast like Like, you know, so it's gives it a well, it's not gonna splatter. No, I know that but you just As you're dragging it That's just my opinion. That's just how I well, I like hearing your opinion. I think we do well when We listen to each other's opinions So isn't some of this paint kind of go dull? No, because I'm using a very glossy gel medium. And so that's going to keep the consistency of the shine better Could you spray like gloss over this? I mean you could I wouldn't doubt it. That would be nice. Maybe just the hair and then leave this like I think that would look nice Mattify the face. I like that idea to That's what she said to both You guys don't know what canvas sounds like. That's what she sounds like. I would have already painted this just to Make it funny. What color bubbles do you guys think I should do? Just pink? You should do it like blue so that her eyes are like blue But Marilyn's eyes weren't blue. No, they were brown. Aren't they? Aren't they like a hazel? I remember last time we saw her The last time you saw Marilyn wearing that staffer Mr. Mr Was she on the wall there? No. Was she performing? Circus puppy So he's up there breathing hard Just wanted to drop a little bit of a darker color in there And then what I would do is just get that a brush and then that color and just ate it Do you want me to hand you a brush? Nope. Well, I want to see what you're talking about I can always change it if I don't like it. Can I hand you a can I hold that and you show me? I don't want to like have it be such a different Yeah, but if I like it then I'll do it to the rest of it and if I don't Then I won't if you're shy then don't worry about it You did what? We have made it too much of a dead purple I thought it was A blue but it may have been a pain's gray We'll just put it in some places. Yeah, it looks like a dead gray We have to change it So I'm not going to make you guys sit through a long boring class of me applying paint in the same way forever and ever and ever So do you guys have any questions about anything? I'm happy to answer Prisms You could have more control with a brush than texture a little with a palette knife if you needed it Who's true? That's true. Who drew this? Jeff?
