 What is up you guys, so I know I said we're going to go live early today. Life has gotten in the way, therefore, instead, today we are going to do a large collab. It is a collab. I think it's a smaller than a 30 by smaller than a 48. I'll do an actual measurement later, but our idea is that Jen is going to do the night version on her side, and I'm going to do a day version, and we're going to meet in the middle, create some magic, and if it looks good, we're going to donate it to Shai's Fun Fund for all of her things. So hopefully it works out. Who knows? We do have a lot of people in the studio today, and there are three more coming. So sorry if there's a lot of extra chatter, but it's an open art studio. So if you guys ever come to Dallas, hit us up. Hopefully you can come by and play with us. Anyways, let's get this show on the road. Over here, so I can paint. So Jen is the master at all the alcohol-y, inky, thingies. Not really. Okay. Hey. Is that happening right now? Can we get another? I'll create that. Okay, good. Vamp is master of all the alcohol-thingies and- Gen. Gen. Got vamp over here. I'm going to- What? So Jen's the master of this, and she's going to teach me some techniques. She hasn't taught me the other day. I know I'm not going to draw her flower in this, but never gonna happen. Good. And I don't know how to make it. But it's awesome. Anyways, so how would you suggest that it's not a good idea? I think it's a good idea. I think it's a good idea. I think it's a good idea. I think it's a good idea. I think it's a good idea. I think it's a good idea. I think it's a good idea. I think it's a good idea. Anyways, so how would you suggest starting out a negative space for- If you work one color at a time, put all the colors down, this isn't very tiltable, especially since we're going to tilt people. That's okay. We can just use the air to push everything around. We have this. Yes. So we could do a little quick first if we wanted to. But otherwise, we're just going to use the air to push everything around and for something this big, I would suggest that you start off with the color colors on the bottom, establish your shape, and then work with some top colors, blend some colors together, use the blending solution, use a little bit of alcohol to spread everything out so that it kind of loops it to get bottom layer, and then you can kind of fade it into the middle, where that way you can have like that really saturated center, or if you want a certain color, you can do it. And then once it's all done, and we're happy with where it's at, then we can use like this little spurts of like the one that's in the card mixed with alcohol, so you can ease that in at the edges as you go it out so that it's got that fade, so you get a little bit of that fade, but you still have a color mixed with the white. I'm really excited about saying that on a large scale because I am super bad at using white alcohol. White is a really good transition to you. It also works really well, like if you have, how those things are chunky for me though. If you get like that black modeling film from amazon on that, it's almost like a black vinyl, but it's more like people paper than solid black, and you can use alcohol ink on it, this white works really good as your base. And then you can put the color over that, to show up vibrantly black, but you can also get like the black cricket vinyl, and that'll work really well as long as you don't use an extreme amount of white. Right, so this is a heavy, heavy weight, extra, extra big paper. I got this from Blig, you can get him in all sorts of sizes for his sheets, and I take down the edges with this tape from Walder Strong. This is a great tape when you don't want to risk ripping your paper, and it's super sticky, but it doesn't take off layers of your paper, you know. Right. And I like to do this so that, since it's gonna work a little bit, but it'll lay back flat, but this will this will help pull it out. And it also creates a nice frame around the edge. Make sure you under that, so you have an even frame. But this is from Walder Strong, I have it on our Amazon link down in the bottom, where am I? All right, let's do this show on the road. I'm big time, you're nighttime, I've picked out reds, pinks, yellow, not orange, because the regular inks, do you have to shake them up a lot? No, not at all. I think it's kind of habit though, when you use a lot of the gold and silver, and you're just shaking it up, you kind of like, it's like ingrained, as long as you shake them all up. I see that a lot with um, spray paint, like people have ever used spray paint, I just shook it for you, and they're still like, okay, this is part of the experience. Okay, so for my night colors, I am using a conglomerate of blues, greens, darks, grays, a little bit black. That's it. And we're going to kind of just bring it together. Meet in the middle. Yep. So do you put alcohol down first? Are blending solution, or do you just jump in with color? It depends, I do. If I really want it super diluted, I would put, like if we're just doing that base layer, where we're just having a dry sheet, I would put a small amount of alcohol down first, put the first color down, so maybe just like one drop, and then just blend around so you can establish where you're going with everything. Start with yellow, as mine is. Let's get this show on the road. Let's be strong. So um, we don't have Jen's super awesome alcohol-y and blow dryer thing, so I am using the Ampe HD 6618. I have a discount code in the description box below if you want one of these. I am changing the heat setting on the back. It can go all the way up super high. I don't know the actual temperature because I'm horrible representative, but I'm turning it just almost to low. So I'm turning it all the way down and then just a pinch up. That way it'll dry of the alcohol, it'll help with the evaporate faster. We are using in these bottles 99% alcohol. Why do you get such a separate way about it? I'm like, jump all the alcohol, put all of the things. So I guess that's why I'm calling you. Not really guys. And on this particular weekend there's two air settings. There's high and low, it's like a blow dryer. I'm just using the low setting because I don't want to blow all of the things everywhere. So I know there's like little tools out there that you can use to like push everything around. Is that necessary when you just use your fingers? I just use my fingers as long as we have like a rag next to us to wipe it off so we don't contaminate the next color. I think that's such a good word. Very appropriate. She taught me how to do infinity rings the other day and I'm probably gonna throw some of those bad boys in here somewhere too. The reason why we're using low heat and low air flow is because the more heat you apply, the more this is gonna bubble up. So you want to use minimal. If you guys don't sing the bubble what song after you hear that, then we can't be friends. Just probably dancing somewhere to that song. You know you want it too. I just want those little cells. I know I wish they could freeze that. We'll find a way. We'll invent something. Clearly it's much faster than I am. No, I'm just very reckless. I'm just everywhere about my pizza. When Jeff and I came together we still like designed like pre-pouring and now like scene. This makes me think that I can use watercolors and that'll work. It would. It's not the same in my brain though and just because I can kind of pull off my hollies piece my watercolors are it's like why do you spill everything on this? And that's what it says. We should try to do one of these live before you leave just to help out people and answer questions about outpolling. Yeah. I was like what happened? So now she gets to help us vote for the name though. Still struggling with that. With naming stuff. I have to remind myself like what you said about indirect heat. I'm just so used to being like go. I'm just abrasive. My style I guess. Impatience. Very. It's like indirect push helps to do that. Is it important to let one color dry before you do the next color? Not at all. Because they're going to mix pretty much either way because it's off all, yeah? Yeah. Do you build up the color? Usually it depends. I mean like this olive green that I'm using right now is really saturated. A lot of these are from Zigg that we're using today. They are very inexpensive but very good quality. Which doesn't really ever happen. Exactly. Especially when you run people. When you have to be like you were right. Sometimes I put like I'll put the alcohol down. A drop of color. A drop of the metallic. And then another drop of alcohol. And then just start pushing away. It's a mood zone. Whenever you're like, whenever you're feeling at the moment I guess. But they're not careful. You gotta hold it upright. Then you don't put the freon. Just too short first. That doesn't dry it because it's cold, right? Well if the freon comes with it, yeah it'll freeze it. But then as soon as it gets big the room temperature is a little. You won't see like that. Frosting. Like it looks like dry ice. Nothing in it that dry ice thing. But I am seeing this like all like explosion of paint. I'm kind of digging it down. Considering making that actually. See Zigg left? The cutest ones are. I can send her a message and see. I'm gonna drop heat on it. And blow air and see if. See how this is like true black. I can't really ever get that. Not with alcohol I mean for sure. There's a huge learning curve. Especially when you're like still used to running down. And then even though it's in the same pool with our family it's supposed to go back to a different time. Everything else that you do like the resin and the color coloring. And alcohol is very super pinky. Humidity can affect everything that happens in your case. So if you have like a high humidity day. Or even bother. Oh that's why I was getting chunky the other day right? Yeah. Developing an intricate piece and I'm like we're at tequila sunrise. But you got to be able to leave it there. And not mess with it. That's difficult. Got to be a big hole. Oh I just relieved it there. You can move it around to where you want it to be. And just grab this top right on top of it. You're gonna leave it till it dries. It's like a school. Actually need it. You can't actually it's running heat this way so that we get some. Too much heat. Here hold up. Here we go. Put the heat gun in right in the center of it and turn it on so it goes outwards. This is not working. I like it though. I do like that. I'm down with this. So I don't know if you guys can see how this is like wrinkling up because we put all the heat on it. But it works. My time when you do get back at it on flat. Like my side was worked too in the party flat. I'm nowhere near finished. But the beautiful thing about up all lengths is yep. So we're going to finish the rest of this tonight slash in the morning. Yes. Let me take you guys on a ride and show you where we're at right now because everybody in the studio is starving. So we're going to go get some nummies. Are you in a stopping stop before I don't want to like interrupt your process. Oh yeah we're good. Step away from it. Anytime you can step away from it. And it didn't even brown. I thought with this right in the corner. We're just waiting for just part two y'all. Part. Thank you guys for tuning in and seeing what we're up to. I'm holding the camera at like arms length trying to talk to you guys. So check out all these things and follow us on social media to see when we go live, when it's early, if it's early. We have some announcements coming up so stay tuned for that. We're going to have the part two of this coming up tonight or tomorrow depends on how the day goes. I'm just going to show you guys a little bit of the studio now. This is Jen, alcohol and ninja. Not really. There's a mood. Maybe like an alcohol ink enthusiast. Not ninja but an enthusiast, right? So then there's B, Tiffany Denny, Ms. Vamp, and Tressa the chef's in the kitchen cooking puppy food because that's a thing in our lives now. So yeah we will see all of you guys later today slash tomorrow. Thank you guys so so much for tuning in and seeing what we're up to today. How's we go live every day? There's a baby moo. Such a little cutie. Anyways you guys, be kind of one another. You never know what someone may be going through and we'll see y'all later. Bye! Bye!
