 I'm sorry for the malfunction earlier, but we're here and it is time to art. So if you're new here, hi, hello, what's up? Every month we're gonna be doing this pour with us class and I'm very excited about it. So let me kind of light on and I'll show you what all comes in the box. So yes, we're back. Sorry about that. We're good, we're here. So I went ahead and painted my board if you would like to take a moment to do that, go for it. I just painted it with white spray paint, totally up to you. Also comes in the box, you get rag, some coasters for leftovers, the colors that we're gonna need, mixing cups and gloves, stir sticks and the resin. I'm not gonna use the resin I pre-bottled for this because I don't wanna have to re-bottle it next time I have a pour with us, so that's staying in there. So if anyone needs to prep their board, now's your time. And if you are using your own products, materials, et cetera, I'm gonna tell you what colors you're gonna need to grab. So if you're gonna pour along with us with your own stuff, you're gonna need a white. For this kit, I sent out titanium from Just Resin. I am using a gray that I ended up making, but it's very similar to silver gray, but I was out of it. I'm using abalone, but you can use diamond dust and Milky Way or any interference you would like. I'm also using Color Passions Pearl, but if you have another pearl that you would like to use, go for it. I'm also using our liquid gold. It comes, I guess I'm gonna use this one because I don't have any more already opened. Goodness, I really secure these. So it looks like this. There's a little dropper, boop boop, and let's see. Oh yeah, Color Passions Beige. So those are the colors that you will need. Coasters out. So in your kit, you also got some cups, and I have no idea where I put them, other yeah. You're gonna have your mixing cup and various other size cups for the different things we're gonna do. So if you already have everything ready to go, then let's get started. I'm gonna go ahead and put some alcohol on a rag so I can try to keep things wiped off and clean. We'll see if that lasts. All right. Put some gloves on and get resining. First thing we're gonna have to do is we're gonna have to mix our resin. So you have in your kit or at home, you have part A and part B, and you're gonna put in part B first. It will be the thinner of the two. I wish they would just reverse the part A and part B, but then again, that would confuse people at this point probably. Okay, so I sent you eight ounces. You probably won't need all eight ounces, but if you do happen to have leftovers, then use them on your coasters. I think Jeff talked to you guys the other day about how great it is to use the leftover resins to make coasters that they end up being real profitable at like mix and match, $5 each if you do like art shows, craft fairs, et cetera. So, okay. I'm going to hand mix with you guys instead of using my super mixer. However, if you have a mixer at home and would like to use it, go for it. So in your kit, you have a medium length stir stick. That is what I'm going to be using to mix my resin. Yeah, they can't reverse now for sure. So when I'm doing things like mixing, I'll take a second to read comments. So if you guys have any questions while we're going, I'm happy to answer. If you have never mixed resin before, you're going to mix for about three minutes. If you're not using resin that we sent you, then make sure you read the bottle that your resin came in to make sure that you're mixing for the right length of time depending on what kind of resin you're using. Because different resins require a different length of stirring duration. Oh, there it is, okay. I thought I grabbed a medium stick, but I did not. It was very short and not very easy. Whatever you're doing right now, the sound is clear and perfect. Oh, sweet. I'm using a mic. Hi, Rebecca. Where's everybody watching from? So when you stir your resin, you're going to want to scrape the sides and the bottom of your cup and then scrape your stir stick because you're going to need to make sure that everything is fully incorporated in your resin. You've been using your trial stick to clean chalk paint brushes. That's awesome. Mellie says your acrylic stir sticks are great for mixing gout from mosaic projects. Sweet. I'm glad they are getting used in a myriad of ways. JJ's in a Kroger parking lot that's hilarious. Love your trial stick. Well, thanks you guys. Whenever we make something, it's never easy to know how the reaction is going to be, how well-received everything is. So it makes me super happy that you love it. If you haven't subscribed yet, please do so. Leave me your thumbs and share a video if you think it's worth sharing. I'm really trying to grow our channel this year and I can't do it without you guys. And it's free. You can help my channel for free by subscribing and sharing. What do people use on a geode coasters for along the edge? Are you talking about the outside edge where a lot of times it's gold? My goodness, where is Clara when I need her to tell me how long I've been mixing my resin for? So when you mix your resin, you'll notice a whole bunch of bubbles in there that's perfectly normal. A lot of people have a fear of the bubbles. That is perfectly okay because we're gonna hit it with some heat in a bit and they'll be gone. Time, okay, cool. I feel like it's been three minutes as well. And I'm gonna do a couple more stirs just to make sure I got the edges. It's really important to scrape your edges, especially if you scrape the cup to get all of your resin out. So you don't end up with weak spots or sticky spots in your finished piece. It's been three minutes, sweet. Okay, we're gonna set that aside. The boring part is over. Vamp to the rescue, right? She's always to the rescue. Okay, so I'm going to find out what is under my this peace glass, makes sense, that checks out. I'm gonna take three of the medicine cup size, cups that was included in the kit. And I'm gonna use that to keep my board lifted. And that's just gonna help when we wanna pick up the board and manipulate it or tilt it, do whatever we wanna do. Because if we left it flat on this base, then it would stick and not be that easy to pick up without changing how your flow is. What's up Megan Boyer, I haven't seen you in a minute. Hope all is well. Okay, so I'm gonna open my these, which I should have done before right now and get an X-Acto blade. I try to tape these up really well before sending them out so that they don't leak in shipment because that was a nightmare one time that I sent these out to use an X-Acto blade. Just be careful. Don't want anyone hurting themselves. This is the beige. Oh my goodness, I don't even know where to start on this one. Maybe I taped them too well. No such thing. In retrospect, I should have done this before the class started. However, I'm assuming that you guys are also unpeeling your little jars. So I'm just gonna assume that we're all doing this at the same time together. The pearl. Now if you're looking for these colors on the website, this one is the Pearl Shimmer. I also have a Pearl White Luster that is not quite as champagne-toned as that one. You missed watching me make artwork? Well, you are welcome here anytime, lady. What's up, Julie? Abalone. This one is by Resinart, but you can use any of the other substitutes I mentioned earlier. The gray. I usually don't use this many colors in my artwork, but this one's gonna call for it a little bit, I think. Also, if you wanna use different colors but the same technique, feel free to do that as well. When are you guys coming back to Australia? Well, hopefully either just Resin or Color Passion or Color Obsession. Hopefully one of the vendors gets with me about planning a tour in Australia again. What part are you in? Okay, so you should have all of your little medicine cups as well. I don't sell the pigments in little jars because I have to jar them myself. I was thinking about doing a little sample kit with these tiny baby jars, but I wasn't sure. Well, let me know. Excuse me. Okay, so now that we have all of our colors open and our resin mixed, let's start mixing our colors into the resin. So you're gonna need your big cup as well. Also, I'm so sorry for my sniffling nose. So I'm gonna do the most in my largest cup. This, I poured about half of the cup with the clear. And now for the white, I'm going to use about a third, poured about a third of the cup with resin. The abalone, I'm gonna want a little bit more. So I'm gonna fill up my cup pretty much. And then the other ones, I'm gonna want a little bit less of. So I'm gonna do about a fourth white abalone, making sure I had the right count. So you're gonna have some resin leftover. I have about three ounces leftover. I'm gonna pour a little bit more into my bigger cups. I have 70 mils leftover. Did you get cute little canvas pup? I did. Jeff is hanging out with baby canvas because she is very hype right now. Oh, you can do 30 grams in the colors I want. Sweet. So these are five gram jars, but oh yeah. And Kim can do bigger jars. So that's amazing. She is a baby for sure. Okay, so hopefully you guys have your everything and are ready to go to the next step. If I ever move on before you guys are ready, then just let me know. I'll gladly slow down. When everybody feels super comfortable and confident with this piece. So first thing I'm gonna do is take the whites. I'm trying to get you guys zoomed in here without zooming in too much. And I'm gonna mix up my opaque white. So I'm gonna need just a little bit of the whites. I just did one scoop with one of my smaller sticks. I'm gonna mix that in. It should mix in really easily because all of these pastes are, there's a little girl. All these pastes are really high quality and they mix in very, very well. So you shouldn't be able to see through the resin to see the stir stick for this color specifically. Hi, Jillian. So the next one we're gonna mix up is the abalone. And we don't want it to be opaque. So I'm mixing just the tiniest little scoop. You can always add more. It's impossible to take it out. In fact, I may add just a little bit more. The idea is you want it to be sparkly but not have so many particles in it that you can't really see through anymore. Never take your stir stick out of resin and put it back into your paste jar or powder jar, paste jar. Because then you're just gonna ruin it. And that's not fun. So that's good. So there's, it's not cloudy because I didn't do too much pigment. You can still see through it but it's still very nice and sparkly. Okay, next we're gonna take the pearl. You can also use a champagne if you like. And we want this color to be opaque. So we're just gonna get the tip into the color. Oh my goodness. That's what she said. You had snow this morning? I'm so jealous. Beautiful, beautiful color. It's so silky looking. So the next color we're gonna mix up is the beige and you're gonna do it the same way we did. Oh, oh my goodness. I forgot that I was charging and tripped over the charger. So sorry about that everybody. But you can help me with this if you'd like before she gets to it. So yeah, thanks B. I would pick it up but I don't wanna make people wait. Okay, so beige. A sample kit would be awesome. I agree. The only thing about that is I worry about it'd be hard to make a sample of every color. So I'd have to have like a most used colors kit or something like that. This is a very sandy color. Very, I wish I had a tan color. So as you can see, there's a lot of product left over in these little jars for other pieces. Actually had someone get really agitated with me about the amount of product that's in the jars for these kits. But anyways. So then next is the gray and we're going to add the same amount that we have been using for the other colors. Color before the beige was champagne. Nope. It was pearl shimmer by Color Passion. And I actually think I wanna have a little bit more of this in my piece. So I'm going to take some of the clear that I have in reserve and add it to this one. I'm gonna wipe off my stir stick with alcohol rag I have set aside. And then add some more pigment. A little does go a long way for sure. What was that, Jillian? There we go. That's your pretty color. Love this color. It's one of my faves. Okay, and the last color we're gonna mix up is the translucent white. So for this white, we want to be able to fully see through it. We want just like a skim milk. So I'm basically just putting my stir stick into the white and letting a lot of it drip off and even scrape some off on the edge. So there's not a lot on this stick. Oh, speaking of Australian, okay. Pearl shimmer is one of the first colors and definitely one of your favorites, sweet. So this may be two skim milk. We may have to add a little bit more pigment, but we'll see. Yeah, it's a little bit too faint. So you can see through it for sure, but it's kind of a veil of color instead of what I'm really looking for. Oh, you're near Sydney? I knew that. I know you're near Sydney. I don't know what I was thinking, Rebecca. So I'm going to add the same amount that I went and added the first time. I want it to be like this. I want to be able to fully see through, but still have like a haze. I want the essence of white. All right, so we have all the colors mixed. Now we can get to the actual fun part. Sweet. Just going to get everything out of the way. Actually, I'm going to go ahead and mix up my gold. So this is liquid gold. I sell it in 10 mil vials. And you can, I don't know if we can hear. I put a BB in these so they're easily mixed. No, if it's because of my gloves, I couldn't get it open. I got it. Okay, I'm going to put some resin. This is like, I can't read it. Just about a fourth of an ounce of resin. I'm going to take my little cute dropper. How precious is that? One full dropper, two full droppers, three, four, let's do five full droppers. You don't have to do that many. I just am. I want it to be very liquidy. So I add a lot of product to it. To me, it just makes the gold kind of float better and be more vibrant. That's what it looks like. All right, now the actual fun part. Let me get everything out of the way and let you guys catch up if you need to. Let me know if I'm going too fast, everybody. I am Overload Queen. I have no shame in the fact that I had too much pigment to my resin and I'm unapologetic for it, if we're honest. It is serious gold and I love it. The gold is called Liquid Gold. I have it on my website. You can also get it from Montana. Okay, so no one's told me to slow down, so I'm gonna proceed. The first thing we're gonna do is underpaint. I recently discovered that I love to underpaint with some of the color. I think it gives a lot of great depth to the piece when you do that. So I'm going to underpaint with some of the gray that we have and I'm just going to draw out random lines. These are kind of like fault lines, but also not, I don't wanna do too much. I'm gonna do some gold as well, but also not too much because I don't want the underpainting to take over what I'm doing on the top of the board. This can easily get out of hand. I've gotten out of hand with it many times. And also I find a lot of people really overthink this part of the process, so I'm going to actually give you guys a second to get this part down. Hi Melissa, how are you doing? Breathing treatment? Well, I hope it goes well. So if you want, you can even kind of taper off these lines with just the tip of a finger. So if I wanna taper off this one, where are you guys? If I wanna taper off this gold, I'll just run my finger next to it and just kind of wipe it away till it comes to a point. This is also something that will really take up a lot of time if you get really into it and I don't, I will lose focus and just keep doing that forever if I don't watch myself, so. So thanks for looking out, Vamp. Also I think Vamp accidentally deleted a Jillian message, but it said, be well, Melissa. I think it was because you were right next to a troll. You overthink all of the processes. Too many ideas and I'm trying to get one idea down. Idea, the struggle of art. That's true, but you can, what I found that helps me with that is to have a couple of pieces or have like some coasters set to the side that I know that I can do my other idea on those instead of on the main piece. Often for me, if I don't stick to what I wanted to do at the very start, then it won't end up well. I just do better if I stick to the plan, you know? But that's not everybody and if you, if it works for you to, oh my goodness. B, are you in here? She was about to pull all of the aprons off the wall. Okay, so I'm assuming you guys have that much down. So let's move on to the next step. I'm gonna take the transparent white that we did, the one that's in the big cup and put a lot of it down and then I'm gonna also use some of the abalone shell and do little fill in patches so that our background will be kind of shiny, kind of sparkly, but not really, but awesome. I hope that makes sense. Let me know in the comments. And I'm gonna put some white in there too, the opaque white, just random. This is all background. All of this that we've done so far is gonna be background. So now that I have it, she is going to take all these aprons down B. It's very cute, but also I don't wanna hurt her. Yeah, she's being precious. Okay, if you guys don't know, we just got a puppy and she's in everything. Vam says I got trigger happy fingers, everyone's at risk. That is so funny and so true. Okay, so now that we have all of our base painting down, I'm gonna take my hand and just skim across the surface very lightly. I'm not putting any kind of pressure down. I'm trying to just fill in any open areas, but not mix the colors. And there you have it. This could be a finish all on its own. Just kidding. I mean, you could, this could be a finish. But you can see some of the underpainting came up and that will bring a whole bunch of detail to the finished piece. I already love it. Okay, I will give you guys a little bit of time to catch up. The next thing we're gonna do is build our dirty pork cup. The choice of puppyhood. I, you know what? I haven't gotten frustrated with her even once yet. I mean, she's puppy, she's a baby. What are you gonna do? All right, now that we have resin down, I'm gonna turn this spotlight. Hopefully that's better. You can see more of everything. Also, as soon as we're down with the live, I'll give you guys an up close of both of the pups. Because I know it's what you really came here for. A greed vamp. If you guys haven't seen Vamps' latest video on her marble, is it a charcuterie board? Ooh, I said that whole word all by myself. Go check it out. Okay, first things first. We're gonna put some of the transparent white into the base of our dirty pork cups. And I have used all of my translucent white. So I'm going to take my cup of clear that I have left over and make a little bit more. And actually, I don't wanna open my paste again. So I'm just putting a little drizzle of the opaque white into our translucent white. And that will give us the color that we're looking for. And if not, we'll add more. But you can obviously beat. Will you come see what she's getting into? She was in there, but she's a puppy. There we go, she's over there. So now we have some whites. We're gonna start adding our other colors. So I'm just gonna put little drizzles in there, okay? Less is better. What's up, Arlene? Twisted Art Lady, what's up, Sam? Less the better. We want it to be mostly white. Just a little hints of color. So I'm gonna take some of our gray and get a little swizzle in there. This technical quantity is a swizzle. And that's what it looks like. With the pearl, you can kinda go a little bit more ham because it's not that noticeable. Ham is also an adjective. And then in between those, I'm gonna layer some of the whites. Both the translucent, like I just did, and the opaque. And then keep going down my line of swizzles of color. Swizzle. And then the abalone. Ooh, I'll put some of this gold in there as well. Hopefully it'll do something amazing. Swizzle, opaque white. You can layer your colors however you want. Just remember to keep it very light in terms of the colors when you add those. All right, so I have my full dirty pour cup. And I cannot wait too long for people to catch up because it's my belief I'd have no idea if this is proof of anything. But once you have a dirty pour cup, you really need to get it out of your cup as soon as possible. All right, so I gave it a little swirl for good luck. And I'm gonna add my color in the general flow of the piece. So a lot of it is going this way. It's none of it is going this way, right? So I'm gonna go along with the flow of the piece. Thank you guys for watching. Please subscribe if you haven't. And don't forget that if you wanna take a class with us in person and hang out with our puppies, then you can register right now. I have one in March on the 18th and May on the 13th here in Dallas. Okay, I'm gonna start the pour off of the piece because I don't wanna blurb in the beginning. That is also a technical term. Then I'm just going to add all of these rows of ribbon. That's what I call it. You guys may call it something else. What's up Mix Media Girl? Thank you for the $5 that reminds me I need to send you a payment for that resin. If you text me tomorrow, I'll remember. That thing got louder. All right, thank you so, so much, Marcy. Okay, so this is already looking pretty nice, I think. What do you guys think? I feel like I want a little bit more depth. So I'm gonna take some of the gray and just add a line along a couple of my pours. Nope, yeah, the ribbons. I'm just gonna add just a couple. Ooh, I'm so excited about this. All right, I'm going too fast. Let me know and I will slow down. So now I'm adding some heat. You can use a torch or a heat gun. All I'm doing is popping the bubbles. I'm not trying to do any decorative dance moves on the piece, but you can if you'd like. Swizzle ribbons, TM. So this is where we're at right now, including some lint. At least that is a metallic piece of lint and it didn't look that bound. All right, so now that we've heated it, I'm gonna add some white lines with the opaque white and then it will sink through and give a whole bunch of more depth. Initially I did mix up eight ounces, but I do have an ounce and a half clear left and a lot of the color left. So I initially, nope, I purposely send out a lot of resin. I send out eight ounces for this size board because I want everybody to have enough product. So you should have some leftover I mean, this kind of poor, you can get away with like five ounces per square foot. So I could have made five ounces for this 12 inch round and had leftovers. All right, so I'm gonna add some veins of white. This is optional. I vary the thickness of these lines a lot. So I'll go really slow in some areas and then speed it up so that there's a little variation in the depth of it. Looking good. Yeah, and then you'd have enough resin left over to do a flood coat if you did not mix all eight ounces. I could sell this as a kit for like sample boards to countertop people, I feel like. So looking super cool. The liquid gold that we mixed in right here is doing a whole bunch of interesting jazz. It's floating just like we wanted so it's catching the light in really awesome ways. So my white has sunk a little bit at this point. So I'm gonna tilt my board. I'm just tilting just enough to get some movement. You can tell that the white has sunk because there's kind of a trail where the white is both sunk and floating so it kind of just rolls down. So the color, the translucent is rolling over the white so it's giving it kind of a shadow, kind of a highlight, super pretty, love it. Also don't tilt your board around if you're doing this as a sample and you're not gonna be able to tilt your countertop because then you won't be able to really replicate the look. Love it. So the last thing I do because I don't wanna do too much to this cause I'm loving where it's at. I'm gonna take some of my this if I can open it. My liquid gold. Thank you Diana Guy and thank you Julie. I don't know if you guys have ever seen me do this. I call it a roadside test. I'm just gonna put some gold on the side and I'm going to put it onto my piece after I let the propellant soak out. So I'm just working it around on this porous paper. You can use printer paper. I think we should take them out in the atrium and let them run around together. I think Bowie's less territorial there. So I'm letting as much propellant as I can soak out. I can't tell right now, but I'll look at it when I'm done with class. And I always do a roadside test to see if it's gonna bloom a lot. And if it doesn't, then it's good to go. This looks like it's not blooming that much. So I'm gonna take one of my stir sticks and I just have the gold on the corner. And I'm gonna run it in the areas that I want some floating gold accents. If you don't want floating gold accents, skip this part. Where you put them is completely up to you. I like to add just a couple in some areas. I did not let enough propellant soak out. But that is okay. So it's blooming a little bit. So it's growing out from where I put it. But I think that's okay for this piece. I think it works. What do you guys think? That is a marble I would put in someone's house. G-U-D! Thank you, Samina. Did I say that right? I love it. I'm gonna add just a little bit of heat to pop the bubbles that have floated to the surface. Sometimes it takes a little bit of time for all the bubbles to float to the surface. There we go. Love it. Pumped about it. I think it's very elegant, super chic. I'm gonna take it to the dust-free zone before any more little puppy hairs landed in. Now you should have four coasters left in your kit and you should have some resin left over as well. I'm gonna do two coasters with y'all. And then I'm gonna eat some dinner. Jillian, I did do how to prep a cup. It was in, it was recent. It was very recent, the cup prep video. I'm just gonna do a smush for this last item. Any more gray? What am I doing with gray? There it is. If I knew which, oh, I think Vamp just linked it because she's great like that. When you're done with your stir sticks, take your alcohol rag and wipe them off and now you have stir sticks to use for ever and ever and ever amen. If you're interested in this kit, you can get it from my website, artistilldat.com. And then watch this video that will be posted and you can do this class whenever you like. Oh, that wasn't the Tumblr one. That's Vamp's video if you'd like to see her marble piece. So to do this smush, I'm just layering color on my coasters. That pearl is just so nice. Trying to be better about wiping off my cups. Nope, my stir sticks. So this process doesn't look that glamorous to do these coasters, but wait till you see what happens. Side note, watch it not look great at all just because I'm telling people to be excited about it. I really loved doing this marble piece with you guys. If you enjoyed it, hope you leave me a review on my website or on Yelp on Facebook, let everybody know where you saw this process so we can grow our channel. And if you try it, post it, tag us. I'd love to see what you guys are working on. Now that I have these colors just randomly down, I'm just gonna make sure I have no substrate showing through because we could add a swizzle of the gold as well, a swizzle. Do you ever do classes in other states? Do you ever do Sundays? I'd love to learn with you. I used to film on Sundays, but I was told I needed to start taking a day off so we do that. Sandy, thank you so much. Can't wait till our vacation. I really appreciate that, Sandy. The classes that I do not in Texas. I do do classes in other states. If you know of a place that I could teach a class that'll hold at least 10 students, then shoot me an email. Anybody that can facilitate a class, I give free admission to said class. These are gonna be pretty. Judy says, love your work. You're so funny as well as creative. Oh, well, thank you so much. That makes my heart happy. I was in LA a few weeks ago teaching a class over at mixed media girls' spots. This looks so magical through that gold floating up. For these coasters, I will sell for $5 each and they will be amazing. So, thank you, Rebecca. It does look like an organic mother of pearl. Oh my goodness. Now I'm gonna have to do a mother of pearl countertop finish. Mother of pearl marble. Mother of marble, marble pearl. I don't know. We'll workshop it. So you guys, I'll be back. Diana mixed media girl was in the room earlier and I'm thinking about doing a class out her way a couple times a year out in Pasadena. So, I hope you guys enjoyed the class. I hope you give it a shot. If you haven't subscribed yet, please do so. Leave me your thumbs. Give me a comment down in the description box below with what you would like to see in our next Pour With Us video class. I'm gonna be doing them every month. By the first of the month, they should be posted on the website and I'll send out an email if you're subscribed to our newsletter and emails. So, I'm gonna give you a look at the pups. See what they're up to. Because I know that's what you guys came for anyways. There's my bobo. Hi big boy. Are you excited about being a big brooder? Not yet? Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, boop. Here's a little Miss Troublemaker. Hi little Miss Mam. Don't worry about our floor. We put this really cheap linoleum down. That's the actual floor. So that we don't ruin it and we have carpet just for the studio area. Anyway, this is Canvas. Where's the big girl? Where's our big girl? What do you got? What you got for you? Are you being a big brooder? My good boy. All right you guys, have an awesome night and we'll see you on Monday for the next live at 6 p.m. central.
