 Lerv back in business. I'm going to try something fun. I bought this last week because people were talking about wood and wood designs and faux finishes. And I had messed with one of these years and years ago, but never did anything with it. So what's up? So it's a wood grain maker. So it should be something in that thing. Ah, you can turn it around so it can be the other way. But I always wonder, I guess you could take it off to make these things. Like what is it? What would this what would this part do in it? Like I guess and separate the paint. Smash the like button. Yes. Yes. Yes. Please do. Mary Ann Pape. Does that say that? Pape? I'm ready to learn too. You would be both because we had messed around. We were just messing around with it today. That's why it's got paint on it. Just to see what, you know, what, what would work. And I can tell you right now, you really don't want to use acrylic paint unless you're doing a smaller piece. Like if you really want to do some a big piece or a bathroom, I would definitely use a stain. It pretty much, yeah, they also have rollers with this, with these things too. But I wouldn't, I would have, it would have to be like a large one, like a big one, like construction people would use or something. Because if you had a small one, think about this on a roller, it would just be a little repeat pattern and you wouldn't want that. But this one is a handheld one. And what it does is basically makes a faux finish, like a wood floor. I remember the one that I had messed with years and years ago. This was literally probably 20, 25 years ago. It was, it had a circle on it. It was a little, probably a little bit bigger, but had more of a circle texture like a, because of how knots and stuff. But I don't know. So let's just jump right into it. What we did is we just got some acrylic, just brown acrylic paint. And I'm just going to, I'm just going to start on this light side. I just spray painted three colors here as you can see. It's like very light, brown, a little darker. And we're going to use the darkest brown that, I mean, without getting it black, this is pretty dark. So I'm going to roll this on here. I'm just going to pour it on because I can't, this doesn't fit in there. But I don't want to, man, maybe I should use a brush because that's just going to soak into this. And I don't know if I'll have enough. It's only like this bowl. Morning everyone. Hope your day has been fantastic. Bowie pants wants to be up on a chair. Do we need to get you some stairs for up here? Come on. Okay. Bowie's in place. Everybody say hi to Bowie. Bowie, what's that? Up here. Bowie, look, up here. Up. No, no oblox. All right. So let me fix this to her. This is a little bit lower. There you go. All right. So what do you think would be better if I rolled this on? Probably just a brush. I'm just going to use one of these brushes so it doesn't soak up into this. So I'm just going to pour this on. I'm going to do this kind of fast so that it dries out. Oh, yeah, this is way better. And like I said, this is very thin because you don't, you don't want this thick because you don't want, ah, you don't, yeah, it'll just scoop it off and you don't, you don't want that. And also maybe with this brush, it gives it texture. You dab in those brush ops to take some of this paint up because it's very, and also you can kind of put lines. You see these lines here to make the boards look separated. Have you guys used this yet? We're going to try to make some wood grained on a parker. Making wood. Making wood. But I think if you spread these out, like if you, I'm going to try to go nice and even, this already looks like wood. So what you want to do, see this thing is rounded and I'll put my hand here. So you're going to put it flat on your board and I'm going to drag it and I'm going to roll it like this. I don't know if you're, I guess you're supposed to drag it since it's out of angle. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to start here and I'm going to do it really slow so that I don't want to make any squiggle lines. But the thing is if you stop, then your pattern stops. Yeah, look at that. Holy cow, y'all. I made some wood and now see, I'm going to take this off. I'm going to turn it around and so maybe it'll give me a little bit different pattern going the other way. So it'd probably be useful if you got two of these and just put them on in reverse so you didn't have to keep doing that. Or, or you can do it faster. Yeah, look at that. See the, like the faster you do it, the better your wood looks. Look at that. That was good looking wood right there. Fun wood for everyone. Look at that. When you rock it real like that without stretching it. That's good wood right there. Y'all, you would think that Erica was in sixth grade right now. So this would be, this would be ideal to put a line here. You know, like kind of where, if you've messed it up and did put like a stoppage in your pattern, but it looks fun. Look at that. Y'all, I'm super happy with that. I'm going to redo this side though. Yeah, but there, there is, there's some dry spot. So it's like, let's rock it. And I'm pressing down. See, and it's scooping up the paint. So I might be pressing, I wasn't pressing that hard over here. So it might be, obviously it is really picking up. I'm going to, I'm going to barely drag this over the top like this. Oh, and it doesn't really even work then. Oh, that looks good. Y'all, I just made some woodgrain. Like it's pretty cool, right? Y'all, without the glare. So I wonder, yeah, I guess you would just want to wait to put your lines in, maybe with a washed out, or maybe that's what you do. You just, when you put this down, paint your lines and just set, like don't go over your lines. Just go right next to them. So there is a harder line, a little more defined line. So we redo it for the people that just walked in. I don't think I have any more brown, but it's not, it's not difficult. I have some water right here. So what we can do, let's make some more, I got my airbrush water, and we'll just put some, we got some brown. Yeah, I have some airbrush brown. We can just use some airbrush brown. Oh, I got it. And then that way they can see, this is just regular acrylic brown paint empty. Shake it up, baby. I'm going to do this. I'm going to squeeze it and then suck it up. That worked. So if you just joined us, I'm making brown paint. Thank you for joining us for one, sorry for our weak hiatus. We had to go on a vacation because we were going crazy in here and we needed to get away. All right, so we got the brown paint, very watered down, and I got this brush which really works well. It's a very thin brush. It's one of those cheap Michaels that comes in like a three, like they're large, smaller, smaller, like these are perfect here. So what I'm going to, well, I guess I can't because this is dried paint on here. Do you think I could just wipe this off? Let's see. It might do that because this is very, this is very watered down. Oh yeah. Oh, look at that. Holy cow. Is this how Michael, my friend Michael Graves used to do, or he still does it, but I used to work with him. If you guys ever want to see like some really awesome folk finishes, go check out Michael Graves. I don't know. I don't know if he does or not. I know he has a Facebook channel, but look at that, y'all. I'm trying not to push too hard on this because I don't want to get rid of the wood grain, but as you can see, can you guys see that? It's like it left a stain of wood. Maybe that's what you can do, you guys. Get some stain, get some like wood stain. Yeah, and then, well, yeah, let it set and then wipe it off. I don't know why I put all this paint on here because I know I'm not going to use it all. That was dumb. Yeah, there's a lot of paint. I don't know why I put so much paint on here. Maybe you can wipe it off and do it like just a little bit. Right, like look at this. I'll just take the rag so there's not a really a lot of paint, and then your rag gets really saturated with paint, so let's use another part of that. All right, how fun. All right, so let's start. We're going to start with the long slower strokes. Yes, yes, and I'm going to go just to the side. I'm going to leave about, what is that, an eighth of an inch? So just pay attention to where your edge is. No, I just crossed over that edge, so it kind of gives you a nice smooth edge. Move over. That looks good. Kind of dabbed it off on a rag there. It's a little easier, a little more smoother if you just give it like you just drag it and roll it a little fast. Don't don't roll it fast, but drag it faster. Kind of hard to get used to that, but oh, that's a good one there. That was nice. There you go, and you got some wood grain. What's the matter, Bowie? You want to get down? You're like, this is no fun without mom over here. But yeah, yeah, it was, no, it was like $8, $9. Yeah, I would definitely get like, if they, I don't know, I just bought the first one just because I wanted to just see how it worked, you know, if it was easy or not. But I would definitely get a couple of different textures. Yeah, I'm going to dry this so we can see what it looks like right. Y'all be sweet in here. I can just imagine your friend or your partner or your husband or wife or if somebody's sitting there listening to you watch this and all they hear is you're giggling and probably the word would every now and again. Well, this looks so much better dry like this. Look at that. I would love to like, like if this came, like in different widths maybe, that would be fun. Yeah, I bet it would be nice. Oh my God, he's blowing on his wood. I'm just trying to dry my wood, y'all. You're lucky the camera's not on me because I would be looking to you right in the eye while I was drawing my wood. I'm not a fan of this color, but this is probably my favorite. This one here. It looks great, y'all. Y'all did a good job. Good jobbing. Oh yeah, watch this. This is going to look real good right here. And you just like, if you wipe off these wet parts, it gives you more wood look. This looks like it's been eaten by insects. Wow. Y'all, this is great. I'm going to dry it off one more time. Make sure it's all nice and dry. We are going to put some black lines in here and the nails. Should be going gloves. I know I have a black marker. All right, let's make this line here. I'm going to kind of make it sketchy. It's not as dark. Maybe I'll use a posca pin. Let me get a posca pin. How was everybody's weekend? Everybody have a good weekend? Oh yeah, Cowboys play tonight. Cowboys play the Sheegles. I put this stoppage right here so I can put a line right here. This looks great, y'all. Hardwood floor. By the beam, by the boom. Megan Moore says, I'm a Dallas fan, but my husband is from Philly and makes it interesting. Oh my gosh. When I first came to Dallas, I wasn't a football fan because we didn't have, well, I guess we had the Kent City Chiefs, but that was in Missouri and I just, I didn't really have a favorite team. I wasn't into sports. I was more into art, obviously, but when I moved here and I went to, I've got a job at the Weston Marketplace. Man, I'm telling you, I had no idea how bad, well, I guess I wouldn't, but had no idea how bad Dallas hated Philly because I kept seeing all these shirts that would say Ph U C K Philly. And I was like, what, what is going on here? Why is, who's mad at, what, why so mad, bro? Found out people were like, yeah, we don't like Philly. Oh yeah. And it's just been a love hate. We hate you ever since. I think that line is just too defined, you know, the nails wouldn't be lined up in a, I know, whenever I do stuff like this rivets and metal or something, I just, and I know people don't leave nails, right? They don't leave nail holes, cover them up. I doubt they did on these floors. I'm sure there's a top nail on our floor here. Last year. Thank you, Clara. What's up, Shane? You think it's OCD? I don't know. I really wanted, that's just too much. But look at that. I mean, that's great. I like that. It looks fun. We made some wood grain, y'all. Together, you make a crack in the wood, a splinter, if you will. No, like it's been cracked. That looks cool. What's happening, y'all? There you go. How much fun was that, y'all? I really like this stuff right here. Like, let me take this off here for y'all. Like, I like how this looks right here. This is where we let it set, and then we dried it with the heat gun, but there was more paint there that wasn't dry, and then I took a rag and wiped it off. So it left all these little negative spots to where it looks like. Like, insect eat away. You know? Fun times, y'all. If you ever want to make wood grain, do it. Just rewatch this video. The thing is, I wouldn't do it in the middle. If you plan on it, I would plan on, let's see here. Let me hold this the right way. I would plan on when you're dragging it and you're rolling it to stop and then maybe just pick it up a little bit and then maybe try to start at that line and then start rolling it, you know? So that it's obviously a different piece of wood. I don't know. Maybe they've made it out of the same plank at one point. Who knows? Tudor said, how do you get your crack and wood on one... Well, being 51, you kind of learn some stuff. I know there's a couple ladies out there that got my age, but you know. You guys know. When you're seasoned, you're just seasoned. You just know. You know some things. You know a thing or two about a thing or two about crack and wood control. All right. Well, so there you go. Have it. As Janet Jackson would say, control. You crack me up. Oh boy. All right, you guys. Well, you guys have been awesome. I'm going to go help her cook some cook some din din. We got a couple things we'll be doing this week. We have two different resin supplies. Let's see here. We have this we're having to do and we've been telling these people we're going to do it and then we went on a cruise. We are going to do what they're called. I think maybe this is just pigments or is it resin too bad? Oh, there's resin in here. Oh, liquid diamonds. We've used these before but I think this is a little different resin that they came out with. So we'll be doing some of their stuff and then Erica has another company that she wants to test out and possibly doing that live. Somebody knows who's who's that is. And yeah, we've got a couple things in mind. Thank you, Kim May. I really appreciate that. Tutor, we need we need you to hear more. We do. So, oh, and we were driving back from Nola and we got a comment. Was it a comment or was it a text message? A comment on one of our videos. What did it say? Hey, we just passed you on on such and such highway. Yeah. So if you put a sticker on your car and you get one person that comments, you know it's working. You know it's working. I want to do this again but I want to make something real. I want to I would love to actually do a piece and then maybe do like something where like somebody did something like this. It could be carved in the wood. We can do faux carving in the wood. I would love to get a brown. I know we have a brown. You guys, I was almost done. Oh, CD at its best. Peas and carrots. Here you go. We got a little wood carving. How fun is that? Shane said, now, how would the tool work with resin as a swipe? Well, I was thinking about that and I actually tried it with some, what was it called? Modeling. It's like modeling, paste or texture. But as you can see, it definitely scoops up the paint and it really scooped up the modeling stuff. So resin, I honestly think it would, unless you really just put some down like I did and rolled it on. So it would be a nice thin layer and rolled it. That's what I actually wanted to do. I wanted to try that also with resin. So Claire said, sounds like we do the test. We do the test so you don't have to movement. Yeah. The thing is, the roller one, how would you do, like you would have to keep rolling it in paint and roll it? You wouldn't roll the paint down first and then roll that on there. Man to app said, after playing with your wood for so long, best wash your hands before dinner. I will. I know I got my hands all are messy from playing with my wood all day. So yeah, maybe we'll do that. Maybe we'll do some resin stuff. Maybe we'll do like a really thin a thin coat. Do a light brown, put some dark resin down and see how that works or maybe vice versa. Do like a very dark texture, very dark base and then put some lighter resin over it. Because when you do like think about that, when you wipe resin, especially with this, as you could see, it kind of spreads it and thins it out and makes it darker in places and not. So that might work well. Roll it, flip it, rub it down. What? Oh no. All right, you guys enough about wood getting everybody all worked up in here. You guys have an awesome night. We'll see you tomorrow, tomorrow's Tuesday. So two o'clock Tuesday tomorrow. We'll have some new fun stuff, new and fun and informative, hopefully. She's finishing up. I'll be helping her with the fire sale stuff too. I'll be sanding and painting the edges of all that fun stuff you guys bought. Thank you so much for buying all that fire sale stuff. And I always remember be kind to one another because you never know what somebody's going through. Put a sticker on your car. Put the name of your website or your YouTube or your Facebook if you want strangers to find your artwork. People always ask, how do you get your artwork out there on Facebook? They ask that. Hmm. Well, you see you've already done it one time because now I'm reading your post on social network. Make a sticker. Have somebody make one for you. Put it on your car and drive around. You never know. And always remember here at Artist Till Death Studios, we do the test. You guys are awesome. Thank you so much. And we will see you tomorrow at two o'clock.
