 All right, then Come on tell me if you can hear me now Hopefully it's better because this is my only final option Then I'm gonna have to go with a pre-recorded video for the day and this video. I'm so sorry for all these video jumps, so hopefully This is accurate and it looks good and it's working now. I just have to find you So I can see what you all are saying Apparently not my day. Is it any better you guys? Anybody anybody? So now that we know that it's better we can get started so so far in this piece. I have done Nothing today. This is from a Couple of days ago. I did the nope. It was yesterday. I did the alcohol ink Portion and then I did this doodle part and then I did the clear coat so I hate these little Dark rings that I drew in here. So I'm going to add over that some of these awesome Micah flakes that I got from Resonant this package just came in yesterday with Excuse me. All of these are beautiful awesome Micahs like I can't even handle it. They're all so beautiful They're in all of the colors. There's I think six more colors that are just still in the packaging And so I wanted to add some of these to this piece specifically to cover this up they're gorgeous and I think she's having us like What what is the word a? competition right now where if you use these and Like 90% of her colors in the painting and you win the competition She's giving away like $500 to shop in her store or something like that How many grams are these the bags are? 52 grams or 1.89 ounces This color is called pirates booty by the way I can try to get them on the shop if you guys would be interested. I See that two people are asking so I will absolutely carry them in the shop I'm going to use e6000 to stick them down where I want them. I went I am I sanded it down just a little bit. I didn't sand it down too much because I Wanted I sanded down too much But I did want to create some kind of tooth for my resin to hold on to I'm just adding a little a thin layer of this glue Color art.com. I like the drawing. I just didn't like this middle part So I'm going to use some of these flakes to cover those up Just add a little bit of extra some something to the piece, you know They come in really thick chunks, but I you can like peel them anybody that has one of those Like fidgety tangibly that's not words I don't know what I'm trying to say, but if you like peeling resin off of silicone, you'll like peeling These flakes apart and one of those people I'm using two different colors for this because I just want to Create an interesting little look here night Claudia So you guys are really trying to grow our channel if you could just like share a video or two of hours to your social media You have no idea how much that helps us to grow. I think I'm gonna do a competition like Share and use a specific hashtag So I can find it and do like a sizable giveaway What do you guys think I haven't done I give away like that in a while So there we go has just a little floral look Thank you. I know we are so close at 30,000 We just need a little bit a little bit more to get there You want to put something in the middle of this guy? Just one little Love it. I also think I'm gonna add just a little bit more Drawing on top of this just to give that extra like depth and separation. Hey, Carol I'm sorry. You're not feeling well Get some rest and feel better Little too much sippy sippy. I've been there. I'm just drawing it slightly To the side of what I have already down Because I still want to be able to see what's under it and the color looks slightly lighter That's gonna give an interesting look awesome possums. I'm sour cream I'm sure I did but I haven't checked my emails yet today. I was also recovering from last night Thanks glow. It's very beautiful. What do you use to draw with these are Posca pens? That I'm using I had a pretty thick layer of resin on this so This is standing up against it really well These things are a lot of fun. You just have to have patience right here Next time I come back up there. We need to go riding horses by the way That cop leaves and peels out every day and I'm just like really Really this pen is actually a deco art pen Let's see if I can get you guys zoomed in a little bit These colors are definitely a lot brighter painting over the resin as opposed to the um The alcohol ink like last time Be back doing resin pieces tomorrow. I'm gonna be coating this in resin today though Yeah, the You have the ones with the the Asian writing on it. Sorry about that corkster. Thank you miss men opinion Also, thanks Scarlett. What's up rusty? So let's see. I'm not trying to cover up what I already have on here because It's giving a really nice depth separation. I Don't know if you guys can really see it on There but in person you can really see The difference also scarlet I got your text like right before I started setting up for the live so I Apologize Just shake them up really well miss boobie. Oh, there are some fruit flies or something in my house And I hate it another good thing is these dry really quickly So I don't have a reference in front of me today So I'm kind of just winging it as one does Stand is starting to slump. Can I put under it keep it? I appreciate all y'all that are sticking around through my struggle. I'll make sure this is an Amazing piece that's worth all of the frustration That it has put us all under today All right, now we're propped up and I won't It won't slump. So there we go. Absolutely rusty. I'll hold them We'll color and gold. I hope you all try this doodling thing I think it adds something really nice To not only to a piece but like a mindset like if you're in a creative slump It's definitely what Jeff always does when he's stuck and actually before he even Anytime he has like a commission he's got to work on he'll doodle first Just to kind of like get his mind right for what he's got to Get into and bring that dark blue over here Just use light blue. What up ocean dots are fun. I think that there's something really attractive about Adding dots to a piece and of course anything can get out of hand Please just go for it with enough trial and error. You'll you'll get a feel for when something's like Just too much always have a problem not knowing when to stop But that's in like my everyday life to like Even with simple things like not adding too much salt to something Never know when to stop over season. I almost always mix too much resin I guess I'm just a textbook glutton, you know, I really love how this added a new dimension to my like Undersea bouquet I'm super glad I got them in today because I probably wouldn't have added another layer to this piece because I was happy with it the way it was So I guess I kind of was about to settle with it being kind of like not good enough, but I guess I'm gonna have little Those out there little white dots. I also don't stress out about things. I can't help Maybe those dots were just supposed to be there. I have no idea what the coral If a Fiji looks like but I hope to one day know firsthand What's up with Fiji coral? It is it's plankton Ten layers. Oh, yeah, that is insane. I wouldn't even have to do with myself with ten layers of anything Something needs to be here. I'm gonna shake that a little bit more easily How are you? How is school? Are you out right now? Really liking how this layered Posca pen looks Probably gonna see a few more of these in the future Pretty sure. Well, I hope you've had an awesome vacation Let me scarlet Aliyah, I want to see whatever it is that you paint. I want to see how it goes. I Know it's gonna be gorgeous. I almost went for the nib that would have been horrible Never would have gotten it back from him. I guess I should zoom you guys out a little bit Tina should be an email. Good things for stopping in. It'll be good for practice and You can always seal that in with Artcoat this breathe moves That way you don't have to worry about It not being UV resistant Think of it like resin sunblock. Well, I'm gonna have a few of those dots. I may as well like like some more out Oh, yeah, they're Posca pens. All right Let's see Anything else I need to add before My next layer of resin, I feel like it looks pretty good. I Guess I could do another line on this guy Apparently not with that one. Okay, I'm loving this little guy now I feel like the really amateur version of those people that can like paint layers and layers of a fish And it looks like awesome and real like I'm not at that level But definitely digging how this piece is turning out so far. No, it's maybe this won't be the last You're like with every new little thing I add I like this piece more and more. Oh, thanks you guys Get some rest Libby my Adam mermaid only because There's such an open spot here, you know, there's all of that space To add something and but I might add a mermaid. I mean I might ask Jeff to add a mermaid for me because He is the Most talented hyper realist painter, I know Right could use the micro flakes for the tail Welcome back Carrie. Hi boys. Nothing's happening right now. You can go lay down This everybody boys a green scarlet. He's just so stinking off them By the way, I'll have one clutch left from last night's fire city. All this one did not get purchased if you know anyone interested in a Custom clutch from mr. Thornton. This one's available. It's 150. Let's get going with some resin Rub time. All right scarlet. It's not a TD after dark calm down So I think these micro flakes are an awesome answer to adding and a unique texture and if I knew how to do those like foe river tables where You like build up these the sides with like a texture. I'll totally use these to like cap those off I'm just gonna make sure these little dots are dry Samira with a resin, you know, I actually think I might add some more But any more of that texturey stuff right here. It would make an awesome turtle shell That's a great idea. I'm gonna try to figure out a way to back you guys up Losing you. I have no idea. Hopefully I can get this out Before you guys dip too low Sorry, y'all. I dropped you. I Didn't mean it Please forgive me. I didn't mean to drop you guys your fam and I wouldn't do that on purpose Did it did it hurt just a little bit? Not bad I'm gonna figure out a way to rig this so you guys don't fall, but I have no idea what that is You know what? Let's just get let's just get on with it You guys start to tilt then I'll come back and rescue you So I think I'm gonna add some something right here Too sticky may come as a shocker to some but I'm going to use Stonecoats art coat because it's my favorite and why shouldn't I use my favorite? There are some that are well Posca are all made in japan, I believe But not all poscas are created equally. Pooja, go lay down. You're fine It's okay. All right, so this is a 30 inch round I'm going to do Not take all of 24 ounces, but I'm gonna mix that just in case I feel you guys slowly drooping Agreed linda What's going on van? What happened? Did you find some animals? I don't know how to tighten this so it doesn't Droop it's got to be a way though If you guys only could see I had it rigged I am super sure you would laugh Wasting silicone is painful because that stuff is expensive Those skulls you guys are doing are brilliant By the way Pets and vets right? Thanks, miss money penny. I think it's too plain up here as the the design in general. Okay Judy So I agree when we know how it works. Thank you miss boobie Hey Don and Charles stonk It's also coming out with a silicone And if it works well enough we may carry it as well My puppy mills are horrible diane. I hope they shut that When you rescued your palm from I hope they shut that place down I try to tell everybody not to buy from like pet stores Because they're just Well, most of them Are just Fueling puppy mills. There are some pet stores that have like Only rescue animals in the pet store But the ones with like designer dogs With designer dog prices Are just ridiculous Right Linda ocean. He's one of my favorite things A sea turtle would be fun, but I would have to have Jeff do that. He's He's the realest He's the illest like I can do Things that look kind of like things I'm not that good at Hyper realistic stuff, you know Rescues are awesome. I will say that my family's always had rescue dogs or dogs. That's just like walked up To my mom's house because She lives down the middle of nowhere But um My boys are from breeders but They're working breeders. They do shows they they don't breed every heat cycle their dogs that are underfoot in their house They don't have like a million dogs and a million kennels If you buy from breeder, just make sure you do your homework call references Call their vet Read all of the reviews That would be awesome ocean Things done I really like that. I added the little mica flakes from Color art. I think they They had a whole new dimension to the piece I can totally see that baby cakes. Hey dan. Yeah, I think it's important for breeders to stay in touch with people That have their little babies I'm still in touch with both of my boys's Breeders, boys's that's not words. Okay, so if you've never used resin before Most art resins are one to one So that means it's equal parts a and b which is the resin and the hardener You have to measure them both equally if they're one to one or else it will either set too fast or never set at all And you have to mix for this amount three to five minutes You want to really mix until it runs clear if you ever mix resin. You'll know what i'm talking about You'll see swirls Of the two not being incorporated yet. There will be bubbles. That's perfectly fine We're gonna pop those with a heat gun in a second step So the mica came from color art Um as shown in the beginning of the video Thanks, judy Hi angie. I'm glad you made it She has a bunch of colors and they're both like on they're both they're all on braid and Super elegant looking I'm not big usually on mixed media pieces just because i'm not good at them in my opinion so I'm super pumped to be able to incorporate something like that that I can be excited about And yes, I can Talk to her about carrying those in our shop as well So make sure you scrape the sides the bottom of your mixing bucket And your stir stick to make sure there's no weak spots in your resin Nothing worse than a piece being completely perfect and beautiful, but you have one spot that never set And now you have to dig it out Dremel it sand it and flood coat it. Here we go easy boys Well, I hope you feel better carol Have a great day at work So some people use a trial to mix their resin on the surface and to push it around trial might make me nervous because I feel like it may scratch Which if it does you probably wouldn't be able to see it except for on like the painted parts But I like to further mix my resin on the surface I don't know that that does anything but it makes me feel better It's just an e-science situation Since my boards have a right angle edge I push the resin all the way to the edge but not over because that'll give the domed resin look Um, if you don't use stone coat and you want a domed look then just make sure you have One that has like a thicker viscosity Because if it's a thinner resin The greater the chances are that it's gonna flow um In e-science terms It needs Well, it has like less surface tension to break that barrier to roll over I don't know if any of those words are actual Science But in my head, that's what I tell myself to make it make sense Now if you do have any resin that does roll off the edge That's going to be basically a gateway for the rest of your resin to roll off. So Make sure you keep it clean all the way around so you don't Lose any resin Oh, yeah, I definitely like using my hands to move it around because you can feel Where the resin is where it isn't and who doesn't like getting their hands just a little bit dirty If you don't like getting your hands a little bit dirty chances are resin may not be For you because it is by far one of the messiest mediums I have ever worked with But also one of the most rewarding so it's good and take you know Such as love and left over Not a lot um four ounces And the question is Should I add color resin over top of this? Like some more little party lines Because I don't know what else to call them. It's so fun when resin does that just skips across the surface um Like last time I did Bling it violet over the top of it easy bowie. It's okay Or Just leave it bowie Come down Make sure you get a good look at all of your edges No He's trying to get Some left over top of this from the table calm down those Thank you angel art I think a wave might be a little bit distracting only because it's an underwater scene And waves are typically above the waterline, you know I'm just using a torch to pop these bubbles because my heat gun is across the room When you do this, you don't want to add too much heat You can burn your resin you can create a scab where the resin completely sets Then you have to sand it down and do a flood coat So move across the surface rather quickly using too much heat also puts you at risk of um Thinning your resin too much where it will Flow off of your surface, which is No way now So because I put such a thick line of resin down. I will come back and revisit this with the heat gun in about 20 minutes not the heat gun the torch and um Release more of the bubbles that are coming to the surface I will also have to monitor these two micro flakes on the edge over here because they're Trying to float up a bit So now I'm going to bring you guys down for a close-up of the masterpiece you've helped me create Apologies for all the movement Oh, I should do a bubble piece like this. You are absolutely right This is not trying to focus. I'm sorry you guys Um, I will do a true color video and post it in ATDs poor people Interested to hear y'all's thoughts Thanks you guys Now I feel like I should have made this A mica flake I don't know I appreciate all the kind words you guys Now I have to deal with these two Knuckleheads Bowie is definitely Not preoccupied Kujo is just wanting to go outside Love that guy Um, if you guys haven't already, please send me an email with the pieces that you purchased last night Um, I have my own notes about it But I like to cross-reference with what you guys have and that way I can send you a An invoice and get everything shipped out to you Anyways you guys thanks for coming in Please subscribe and leave me all of your thumbs And I will see you guys tomorrow Please be kind to one another.
