 A bit of confusion. I forgot, no one's surprised that I forget things, that I'm going to let this box choose my palette for today. So, yeah, that's what we're doing. I'm very excited about it because GUD got us these boxes, these cubes, and they have all these amazing colors in them. Pardon me, I'm prepping a board because I wasn't all together prepared for today because I thought I was doing something different. But you know what? Life happens and today life has me behind. Anyone else? Just me? Cool. Okay. Easy peasy prep looks like this and I'm very excited and scared about this because if you guys know me, you know that I'm very color-specific in what I like to use and my dear fairy, our mother Judy, got me these cube color boxes and in them are amazing palettes with all different sorts of colors and I haven't gone through that I should. Okay, so the lady in me that is not a fan of quite a few colors wants to go through and pick out the palettes I'm not the most fond of, but I'm not going to do that. So I'm going to let you guys decide first, box one or box two. I don't know if there's really any difference in the two other that there are different palettes in the two. So what do you guys think? Vote now. I got one, two and no ones so far. I only got one, one and three twos. Four twos. Five twos, Jerry. We'll do box one on this coming next Tuesday about dim apples. Okay, so now we're going with box two, Tim Pease, you got jokes. How am I going to do this? How about this? I'm going to have Jeff in the other room yell stop and where he stops, I will pull that card about that. Let me get you guys zoomed in. A little bit. I'm not going to zoom. Oh, there we go. Sorry for all the movement. Okay. Yeah, right, but we can't scoot to the wall because of that floorboard. B, I need you to tell me where to stop. Stop. Oh, way back here. Okay. Well, you want to- You're like, just drag it slow. Stop. I'm sorry. Okay, go. I am so scared. Is it that one? Just push down. That's this one. Okay, I can work with that. All the ones around this one were fun, but a second ago when I pulled the- I showed them box one, unboxed two, what was in them. I put like this and it was like all grays and then browns and yellows. And I was like, I'm scared. Okay. So we have a palette for today and I'm scared. Okay. So here's what we've chose. Here's the color reference where the palette came from. And so I need to get, oh my goodness, a green, a dusty purple, a purple, a lilac, and a something else. Okay. That looks like in this family. And then what shade is that green? Not pistachio. It's like an emerald or a phthalo. So what do I have open that's around there? I'm going to feel like an absolute cad if I don't do this justice. And yes, I said cad. No, I'm not going to take it back. Why couldn't it have been teals? I'm not complaining. What is this? Hercoy. So just resin emeralds, red plum for the mulberry. What is that purple? What purple do you guys think that is? Sweet. What is the thing you put in a wind shield, a sun guard? That doesn't sound, huh? A visor. The big aluminum thing. Do you guys know? That is true. If I don't try it, you'll never know if you like liked it or not. And so we're going to find out together. Hey, Shelly. It's 6 12 a.m. one. We'll hope you're having a great coffee. Hello, Kalera. So I am mixing my resin with my I stoio mixer and I'm apparently dying. I'm just going to let this spin out and then I'll hand mix the rest of it. So are you guys arting today? Tell me all about it. I'm using Stone Coat Art Coat for the resin today. It's a one to one resin. Super easy to work with, very long working time. I love it and I'm pretty sure most everybody that works with it loves it. There are haters, but there's haters with every brand and it is what it is. All right. While that's finishing up mixing, let's set everything up real quick. Rachel, I have the mixer linked in my Amazon. If you click the link that says Amazon under this video, it's in there. Maybe I'll try to remember to do to link it better. Tumblr arting. That is a great day. My pleasure, my pleasure. All right. So even though I use the I stoio mixer to mix the bulk of the resin, it still doesn't get the what is work cup. My mixing bucket, it doesn't scrape those edges. So I have to go in and manually scrape those. And yes, I'm out of smaller mixing buckets with struggle. It's very important if you don't know to fully incorporate both part A and part B of your piece because if you don't, you could end up with a piece that never sets ever or a piece with sticky spots or it may take forever to cure or make your tooth fast. A lot of things happen when you don't mix your resin fully and completely. So if you don't know, now you know. And that includes the bottom of it and your stir stick. All right. So can you do milkshakes with that mixer? I'm sure you could. It's very like, what is that? The hammock Donald's Frosty. Does a mixer, does that mixer a bubbles to the resin? So I think you're asking if it's going to add bubbles to the resin. And let me tell you why the answer is mostly no. When I mix it with my hand, I mixed in most of these bubbles, which isn't even that much. But because the mixer is in there and then it spins instead of like the pedals all the way in there, instead of coming out and back in, it won't introduce more bubbles than when you just put the mixer into the resin. I'm in order from Jericho today and I'm starting a 60 to 120 centimeter commission wall art. I think that's a lot of centimeters, but I don't speak centimeters. But it sounds like a pretty good size piece. And I hope you do an awesome job. And I know you will because I've seen your work. McFlurry, that's the word. Okay. So first colors first. This is dark green and it's giving me like depth options. The closest color that I had open is going to be this Emerald from Just Resin. Special thanks to Tudor for organizing all of my colors. Oh my goodness. I am so nervous. I don't know why. Just Sam. 120 centimeters is 47 plus inches. Wow. That's like a four foot piece. 47 inches. So this is the Emerald from Just Resin. It's not going to focus because my phone doesn't want to. It's a very nice dark like hunter green color, but with a slight gold shimmer interference to it. Really nice color. I should have my order from Just Resin in pretty soon. So if I'm out of any of these colors, make sure you subscribe to our newsletter artist till death.com. And whenever I get a shipment of colors in or have a sale, those are the only times I'll ever send you an email. That's a new email. So a lot of people ask me why I like working with paste. And the answer comes to a lot of different reasons. But the fact that I can vigorously mix my color in, it doesn't take long. And I don't get any puff back into my face from powder. It is a technical term. All right. The second color is a Mulberry. And I believe I pulled a red plum from Resin Art for that. You can get all of these colors on our website, artisttilldeath.com typically. If I'm out, I won't be out for long. Coffee table size. That's amazing. Kim really loves the green. It's a great green. As far as greens go, I never do that well with green, but that's a good green. So this red plum is a little bit more on the purple side in real life. But it has a gold interference as well. And then that plummy base color. Okay. The next one they have is the color purple. And I'm going to use Violet from just Resin for that one. It may be a little bit hot of a shade, but it's a good color. And I think it'll warm up the palette. So Jerry, I'm a fan of paste over Micah. But honestly, that comes down to what you're doing. Honestly. Honestly. Okay. This color is coming in a little bit bright for the palette, but I'm going to roll with it because I mixed this Resin a while ago. It's not warm yet. But I fear it will happen sooner than later. Yeah. Everyone's different. Vam does prefer Micah. People just like what they like because they do. What's up Vegas? Maniac? Having your Bluetooth on. Does that drain your phone? Anytime you have anything where it's trying to connect will drain your phone. So the dusty purple I pulled this color. If it's trying to connect to anything, it's sending out a signal. So it's using battery. I think this was called Wisteria. I don't know if I have any of this particular color in stock. But if anyone out there is interested in this color, I will get it back in for you. Clara, the violet is the fluorescent violet. Yeah. I think this was Wisteria and I don't know if I have any in stock. And the last one, this is calling for lilac. I'm going to use not that. I hope this is usable. Yeah. This is a color that I custom made now that I'm looking at it. I think it was for a periwinkle that I had to do. If you guys don't know, I color match and make custom colors for people all the time. Just shoot me an email with a color swatch and I can do it just for you. So this is our palette. Okay, Bowie. We have a dark green, a mulberry, purple, a dusty purple, and a lilac. So the violet is kind of warm. So I may tone it down with just a little bit of this Wisteria color. Oh my goodness. Bee, what are you doing? She's looking for you. Come on. So I'm going to add some of this Wisteria to darken. Oh, you guys like that lilac color? Well, if you are interested, shoot me an email and I'll make you a custom lilac. Those are different. Enough. Sorry about all that, Ruckus, y'all. Okay. Okay. I'm going to do a white because the verbiage is in white. So that's what I'm going to do. Okay, Bowie. Bee, will you get the door because I don't know if it's people or a drop-off? Bowie. You don't think you can go wrong with any of those colors? I don't think so either, so we'll see. Well, I tell people I only like to use four colors, but today's a different day. All right, Bowie. So how should I pour this out, you guys? What do you think? Should I do a negative space, a swipe, dirty pour? What do you think? That's a good potty. That's a good girl. Puppy's pottying in the right spot. It's a good day. Thank you. I'm going to use some titanium, dirty pours, many swipes. So maybe I'll try to do all of those things, zigzag, and then a swipe. Swipe, dirty, dirty, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe. Right. I think I'm going to do a translucent white as well. I'm not going to get really any big cells with this because I didn't do any, I don't have any color passion. Judy, I'm using those cards today. So I like to use translucent because it always gives depth to a piece. So cool. That's what our translucent looks like. You can just see through it. It's like cloudy. All right, let me have some resin left over for just in cases. All right, I think what I'm going to do is a swipe that ultimately incorporates some dirty pour ribbons. So I'm going to have to do an opaque background because maybe not. All my colors are opaque, so it should be fine. I'm going to put some gold sparkle in the clear that I have left just a little bit so you can see through it, but you have a good sparkle color payoff. I'm just going to use this to thinly grease the pan. That's not even enough grease. I'm going to hope the green that's on my gloves doesn't come off onto the piece, but if it does, then it does and that's fine. Since all of our colors are opaque, actually the violet fluorescent from just resin is translucent. Everything else is opaque aside from that violet and the translucent white that we made translucent. So you're not really going to see through to the substrate that much because pigments that are opaque you can't see through and translucent pigments you can see through. Thank you, Clara, for putting in the links for me. Turn this light around because I am sure it's going to hinder visuals. Cool. Okay, so, okay. Swiping paper check. So I'm going to start with the darkest color first and then work my way out with the lighter purples. I like to try to alternate what side I'm coming in on with the resin because you can see that this side is thicker because that's where I started the pores. What do I do with the pieces when I'm done showing you? Yeah, they are all available for sale. If you like a piece that we do on the live, you can kind of call dibs and say you want to purchase it and shoot me an email and I'll send you an invoice and I'll ship them out. And then for all the pieces that don't sell right away, we do a fire sale. Try to do not so much a fire just an art sale once a quarter. Okay, okay. So I'm going to do the green. Oh my goodness. Okay, I'm scared. So green and purple when they mix together make not a pretty color. So I'm going to try to keep them separated. Hey Evelyn, who's to say if they're going to stay separated or if they're even going to stay pretty colors? They may not, but we'll find out together. So because I know that they will make not a cute color together, I'm not going to add that much heat. Okay. So here we go, you guys. So if you've never seen me do a swipe before, wherever you lay your swiping paper is going to be what color picks up. So if I laid it all into this red plum color, all the top is going to look like red plum. But if I lay my swiping paper in all of the colors, then they will all pick up. I don't know why it skipped like that, but we can go by and fix it in a minute. You guys are really upfront. Hopefully I'm still in frame. A heart. Okay, we'll leave it. So whenever you swipe, you don't want to put your swiping paper in vertical because then you'll just scrape everything off. So you want to go in horizontal. I usually let about an inch soak up before I start swiping. I don't think I've ever done a swipe without some kind of base cell something going on. So I'm very interested to see if any interesting effects come out of the piece since we didn't use anything that would yield those results. Also, when I do these kind of swipes, I kind of stagger where I'm swiping from where I'm starting, but it doesn't look like just someone's part in their hair, for example. It is a distinct heart and I'm surprised I couldn't see it before, but you guys definitely spotted it. That is not a pretty stop, but I'll fix that in a moment. I only use my swiping papers one time because whatever color, like I mentioned before, is kind of on top is going to be what your swipe color is. So if I went back in with this and put it in the green, it's still going to have purple on the top because whatever color is on your paper first is going to be what color it turns out. She can't get to use the pins up and still trying not to use too much heat. Surprisingly, I'm getting some cells. I'm going to tilt this guy some. Hope he's working light so I can be on. That's awesome. Yes, I am crashing RK3's video tonight. Rhonda is under weather. So I'm stretching this side of the swipe piece by adding heat to only this area so it would move faster. And then I'm going to do the same down here, all the while avoiding hitting that heart so that it stays. One of my favorite things about Stone Coat is that I guess all resins, if you know how to work them, you can change and manipulate some areas without manipulating others by heating them. All right. Your cat's staring at the screen. That's cute. So I'm going to do some dirty poor ribbons throughout starting with the translucent white. I'm trying to keep colors that won't drive well separated. So essentially, I'm going to try to keep the green fully separated from the purples by putting the green where that the gold sparkle went in. All right. Now I need another stick anywhere. There's one. So now we got our dirty poor. I'm going to just give it a swirl for good measure so I can bring up some of those colors. I don't know where I'm going with this, but we'll find out together. Bowie, that's enough. Does not look like much right now, but I'm going to make it successful. Just give me a minute. I like the ribbons. I almost wish I did the whole thing that way. Bye, Vamp. Sometimes I just am not the biggest fan of a piece until the very end. And not every piece can be a success, but I love working with things that kind of break me out of my comfort zone like colors I wouldn't normally use. I fear we may interrupt the heart, but I'll add another heart in there just for you guys. Not my best piece so far, but I have resin left, so it's not over. Have you ever reported peace? I have many times reported peace. There's no shame in reporting a piece. So I really like what this ribbon looks like. I'm going to try to, I'm putting way too much resin on this piece, and that is okay, but it's a lot. So I only use the lilac and the green, the translucent white in this one because I liked this ribbon. So I'm just adding ribbons of color through the areas that I would kind of want to break up. You kind of like the white negative space. I do too. I think I may leave the negative space and then tilt this way. And yeah, if you don't like something, here's your answer. Just take a stick. Let's say I don't like any of what's on this side. Do that, and then fill it in with what you would like there. We're going to just do white, so it kind of hopefully maybe a little bit balances with the negative space on the other side. Bye, Donna. I'm going to make a red dirty pour with the gold interference, the translucent. Nope, that is opaque. That's okay. So when you want to do a dirty pour that has depth like this, you want to use a lot of transparent and not add too much actual color. Just a little swizzle. That just looks like a candy cane. Who let me do that? This is by far one of the busier pieces I have ever done. I think I'm going to put some breaks of just solid whites. Now we're going to tilt and see what we're left with. Oftentimes, you end up with a piece that's not your favorite. Just tilt it. All right. I've added arguably way too much heat for the colors that are on here, but that's all right. And if this doesn't work to make it something that I'm proud of, then I'm going to write what I was saying as I was saying it. Little girl dog was trying to get out of the pen. I'm going to do a super swipe. What colors do you guys not like working with? What's your least favorite color? I'll help you. Ms. Ma'am. Brown. Yeah, I'm not good with brown. Orange and pink. Yellow. Yellow is a struggle. I'm going to add some heat to get it to flow a little faster because when you thin your resin, no, when you heat your resin, ultimately you're thinning it. When your resin is thinner, it's going to move quicker and easier. All right. I think that this is a point that I can let this piece live. Not mad at it. Let me get you guys up close and see what you all think. So here's a from afar focus. So this was a board I painted over just to art today, but I can see here that there was some texture in it that is grabbing some of the color. That's what those streaky striations are from on this piece. Those colors ended up working well together right there. See how you can see this red go over that purple right there in this area? That's because we're working with a little bit of translucent. I like that you can see that gold shimmer all the way through it. So I don't know if I'm a fan of the colors ultimately on this one, but I do like the flow that we ended up with. I think it's got a lot of nice movement and it's not too busy. It would look a lot better with different colors for sure, but I'm not mad at it. And next Tuesday we're going to pick another card from the other box. We're going to keep them going back and forth. You guys just remember the next week is box one. And so we're going to do that every Tuesday. Join us tomorrow at 6 p.m. for another live. I'm not sure what we're going to do, but it will be art. It will be fine. Could be resin. Could be something completely not resin. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed. Hope you're entertained, educated, or otherwise informed in some way of something, whether it was what not to do or what to do. Hope you join me tonight on RK3 Designs Channel. I'm going to be doing probably a marble my way because it's a, you know, countertop finish channel. If you haven't subscribed, please do so. Leave me your thumbs. Put a comment down after this video post. And yeah, you guys are amazing. Shoot me an email with any questions I didn't get to. And I hope you guys have an awesome, awesome, awesome day. Until next time, be kind to one another because you never know what someone's going through. So you, you, you don't have to. And I'll show you the babes. Let me see. Nope. Let me see where they are. Hold on. There's one. There's that cute little girl causing all that ruckus second ago. What are you doing? Little fox? Are you getting tired? Are you going to fall asleep right here? Oh my goodness. I bet you would if I left my hand here. And a Bowie is probably, I think he's under the bed. So that was your puppy fix for today. All right, you guys. See you guys in the next video. Bye. Bye.
