 You know, I'm just having technical difficulties this week. It's going to be probably a week filled with them We won't call them problems. They're learning opportunities for growth. I Still have to write my daily thoughts. It's like five o'clock in the evening Anyway this morning when we were broadcasting Monday with DecoArt, we were working on repainting this canvas and We had some halfway through it did run over time But at 11 o'clock my devices I guess just decided we should be finished and they all just turned off We had problems of periscope. It was just an issue And so I reset everything and we did sort of a take-two and I finished the canvas, but I don't have that take-two video footage So I do have the majority of the work, but the fine tuning you didn't get to see on here Sorry about that. And let's see. Let's see if we can have that kind of straight But this is what the finished piece looks like. I just kept painting. I added painting marks I kept with my adding my colors light ones dark ones and layering creating an interesting cloudy cloudy sky with the sunset and the water and I really love the way it turned out It's It's completely dry now. So I'm going to finish it with some deco page antique, which is a slightly off color It's a little bit of a tan ish color transparent though And so I'm going to cover this with a coating of that and let it dry And then when that's dry then I'm going to put some wax on it And it's going to give it this nice finish when we do Wednesday with watercolor Wednesday I will show you guys this before we get started. So sorry for any confusion Technical difficulties. We will be continuing to repaint canvases and doing things like that And doing these you know acrylic tutorials. So if there's something you guys want to see let me know Here's the footage that we do have which again, we got most of this done that last 40 minutes or so we're just spent fine tuning and chatting really and discussing not not wasting your paint You know if you still have wet paint on your palette when you're finished with something like this Scrape it off onto some painting papers some junk mail and old foam book pages something. Don't waste it. All right That's it for right now. I hope you enjoy the video. I'll talk to you later Don't forget to have a great day do something nice for yourself because you deserve it You're gonna miss that part too because it was in the second half. That's missing Hey guys, I'm just setting up. I literally just got home from the gym and Fritzi aka my HD video camera seems to be working. Oh wait, see Let's turn my sound off because I don't need to hear myself talk Good morning everybody. Oh, hey cow I'm running behind. I'm sorry Good morning. I think we're gonna work on repainting this little canvas today Think I'm gonna use some of that very very behind this morning. We have our Deco art paints. We're gonna be using the Deco art traditions Artist acrylics this morning as soon as I get them out because like I said running behind. Hello. Oh Malaysia fabulous Because I'm so very very behind. There we go Holy cow, and let's see if we're live on you stream. Yeah, I do show myself as live Be nice to be able to oh Arkansas fabulous. Hello So if I'm live on you stream, why am I not getting a picture? No, holy cow Equipment issues. It's my story of my life equipment issues You streams trying to load. Let's see what happens I know there's people over there watching well at least one person. I won't say people at least one You see my desk here. Yay So I have you stream and periscope simulcasting at the same time Those of you who don't follow me on social media Don't know that my HD video camera 8 aka fritzi who I'm broadcasting with on you stream is having issues He's a Panasonic V5 50 video HD video camera. He's you know when that works. It's fabulous, but He started to have some focus issues and some other issues and even though he's only two and a half years old what we've discovered after much hair pulling and Trying to get through to somebody at Panasonic is that I warrant basically I wore him out So I have new equipment coming The unfortunate part is fritzi is so good at what he does do when he's working that I have to replace the one camera with two devices So anyway Hi so my weekend has just been consumed with stress over equipment issues and I Went to the gym to get a few steps in this morning. And so I'm a little behind So unless you guys have something different that you want to see I think we're gonna work on this. So this is a little canvas I did Back in 2012. I actually did a pair of them He's not very well done. I mean, you know, I was Experimenting, you know, we all have stuff that we do that's you know, not fabulous I don't know what to say. It's just not you know, so he's okay, but he's not fabulous. So I'm going to repaint him. I'm not gonna cover it up with gesso. I'm gonna leave it the way it is and we're gonna work on top of it I Never throw a canvas away and I just look at this as a beginning a start What you can see maybe is that there's a little bit of gold paint in here Which is cool. I forgot I used gold on here I have this Canon Beach, Oregon inspiration photo from our friend Brent Frazier the photographer If you want to buy one of his calendars or get some of his photo photography, you can go to Brent Frazier photography.com and Get a link to his website also if you go to my If you go to go to my website and you go to the watercolor Wednesday page There's a link to his website there and you can request his current calendar. This calendar is 2013 I don't know if he has back copies. He might you might ask him I haven't seen the 2016 calendar yet because it's at my husband's desk at work. I Keep asking him to get another one and bring it home. So we're gonna do something inspired by this Sunset image. I think on this canvas using deco art paints I'm going to first put some a layer of collage down. So I've got some of the deco page papers And this is the one with the script on it and if you guys have any questions asked I have you stream up and working now. There's three viewers at you stream if you guys could all say hello in the chat So I can make sure that I can see you that would be great Glue glue Ready to use deco page. That's antique. Let's get the other one Get the clear one So the deco page Deco pot their deco posh medium, which is deco page Americana deco page comes in clear, but it also comes in Right. Yeah, I told you I'm just not prepared this morning. Holy cow Sorry, there's there We have an answer machine now on our one and only landline and I just heard somebody talking in the house that freaked me out This is their antique deco page medium, which I like as a finish on my paintings after it dries And then once this is dry, then I go over it with a little bit of wax to ensure that it's not sticky Because sometimes these deco posh glues can dry a little sticky if you really want it to be a hard Nonstick surface then you need to use a professional like artist wax like Dorlan's But make sure that you use gloves when you use it because there are some toxic chemicals in the Dorlan's wax For the collage part though, we're gonna just use the matte deco page And I want to put some text on here. So rather than writing. I'm gonna use this deco page paper I could write on here That's gonna freak me out you guys having that answer machine in the other room and hearing every now and then hearing voices Like that's all I need to stay start hearing voices seriously All right, yeah, yeah, I Like the idea Nope, I like it there. So that's where it's gonna go I had a friend of mine over recently and she was working on her Decopage and she was being very gentle with the glue and precise and I'm like just pour that shit on there Don't be so don't be so neat about it have some fun with the process She just looked at me and then started laughing she didn't know where to go with that Okay So for the moment Fritzee is working yay Fritzee and he's letting us do our live simulcast But I'm getting an HD webcam in and it should be in today's mail So when we do watercolor Wednesday, hopefully We'll be using that or we'll be at least trying to use that. We'll see how it works So now I'm just going to get this paper on here and I want to smooth it out So I'm going to use my favorite art tool my dollar store frostings Betty Crocker frosting spur this is from Dollar Tree And the paper may get a little wrinkly and textured I'm totally okay with that. I Just want it to be glued down. I don't care if it's wrinkly. Don't forget about your edges. Hey So I hope you guys all had a great time over the weekend and you watch if you watch the Super Bowl that you enjoyed it I Didn't watch the Super Bowl. I was actually home alone for once. I'm not a big football fan. I know that's a big sin, right? Hey, I can see all you guys over in you stream. Yay. I can see the chat. Whoo-hoo That always brightens my day when things work well All right, no, I made my happy mail journal. Well, I think I didn't make it I finished it And I dealt with equipment issues and tried to figure out what to buy. I finally broke down and asked a friend of mine Who's in the film business? Hey Oscar, what would you do? He said, what's your budget smart man? Well, it's only this much. He says so get this one all right so now Looking at our inspiration photo. I want to start with some yellows So I'm going to pull out hands a yellow. I'm going to pull out Let's set this aside for just a second So these are the colors I'm going to pull out to use Hands a yellow Indian yellow. I Want to pull out some ochre marine, but I don't know if that's really going to work for the photo Prussian blue will though I'm Violet I'm going to need some white Maybe diox is in purple. We might need some neutrals. So I'm going to pull out some raw umber and some carving black. I know how to Mix colors, but if you've been watching me for a while, you know, that's not my favorite thing And this little palette, this is not going to be big enough. Let's get the bigger one These palettes that I use And I use the same ones for a watercolor or acrylic. I just of course wash them in between These are just white plates from the Dollar Tree If you are a thrift store shopper, you could probably find them at Goodwill just make sure it's white so you can see the color of your paint Or as white as you can get anyway So I'm going to pour a little bit of each color out here This is a good time to ask questions while I'm pouring paint if you guys have any questions about painting with acrylic either on canvas on your journal pages and You know, there's no reason why you can't use it your acrylic paints in conjunction with your watercolor paints or other mediums We're mixed media artists. So, you know, it's fun to mix them up and use them all together That sounded attractive, didn't it first thing in the morning? Well, I guess not first thing in the morning for some of you that was messy So in case you all were wondering in case any of you are youtubers or broadcasters or want to be What I found in all my research this weekend is one of the best video HD video cameras For its price range, which is 200 or less is the Canon Vixia R600 If you want to do live streaming directly from your camera without lots of gizmos and gadgets then the Panasonic cameras are great Their customer service is horrible. Just FYI. So back to our canvas And I'm gonna need at least one baby wipes. So let's grab one or two out of the box before we get started There we go. We're ready. Yay. I'm gonna start with my larger filbert brush This is a simply Simmons filbert number 10 maybe I can't see it because it's covered with paint schmutz And this is a well worn well loved Brush so yes as you saw I use it for glue and paint because it's just it's almost past it. So It's not like it makes a big difference So I've got my inspiration photo right in front of me and the first thing I want to do is kind of map out Where my shapes are with my paint Um yellow for the most part is pretty transparent Uh color So some of the other under painting is going to show through And I'm okay with that and I'm gonna switch between my two yellows yellow Yellow pigments tend to be on the transparent side. If you want them to be opaque, you need to um Add white to them and I think I want to do something that's less realistic More inspired by the photo than actually like copying the photo That doesn't mean I don't want to get some of the shapes That I see in the same place because I probably do Good morning brandy. I see you coming on And this is probably the kind of thing that we won't finish today But I'll definitely work on and I'll talk try to remember to talk you guys through um the painting As I do it So I'm going to take some of my darkest color without going with black, which is going to be I'm good. Well, I'm frazzled today. I won't say I'm good. That's a lie. I'm not good at lying Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm frazzled, but I think I have my equipment issues solved Thank goodness So I'm going to put in my horizon line Remember when you put in something that's a strong focal point in your painting like a horizon line Don't put it in the middle of the canvas You know, remember your rule of thirds to have your focal point be In the upper or lower third or in the right or left third if you put a smack in the middle That's really boring So there's some um, you know darkness in the in the in the ocean So we're going to put that in with the prussian blue I'm going to just get my finger damp with a baby white And just smear I want this top part of this line to be fairly straight even if I'm doing something expressive An expressive sunset you still want some um I still want that line of dec demarcation on there At least right now I do this is a very beginning stages and like I said we may not get this done today But it would be fun to have you guys come Through the process with me kind of live on camera of repainting a canvas Yeah, oh my god, it's just you know And it came unexpectedly the equipment issues brandy is asking about the equipment issues She said she sympathizes for those of you on news stream Just you know it comes out of the blue All right So the other thing I'm going to do is I'm going to put in some darkness here because there's some clouds Yeah, well, I think we have we may have a interesting solution to the whole Live streaming thing at least as far as you stream is concerned My husband in all of his brilliance said well, what about an hd webcam? And me of course Not really being in the know said do they make such a thing? And he just gave me one of those seriously dear looks like really what are you thinking? And of course they do back when I first bought my webcam they didn't but they do now So I have one coming I'll let you guys know how it works. It'll have to be on a long cable To work with my camera, but you know if I can get it to work, I'll you know that would be great I'll let you guys know So I'm just mapping out some dark patches And then I'm smearing the paint while it's wet with my finger Now remember with acrylic, you know, you aren't just concerned about um How you layer the colors because you can put you know, if you make something too dark Then it's not a big deal. You just let it dry and put something light over it. It's not a big deal um And a painting like this is all about layers So whether um any of the original painting shows through or not at the end It's just going to add more interest when you do acrylic paintings. It's all about layers of marks and texture in my opinion. That's my opinion All right, let's see. I'm going to let that dry a little bit. Let's go back down to the water and let's um Be inspired by the painting, but let's add some um other colors in here. So I you know, I just can't resist adding aquamarine It's just not in me not to add aquamarine in I may may end up covering it up later, but It's just not in me remember when you're painting water scenes that whatever's Above the water will be reflected in the water and you saw me put some yellow down here And I'll be bringing that back at some point because the reflections of the sunset would definitely be down there Remember the most important thing play just play and have fun experiment with your artwork. That's like the most important thing Okay, let's add some white in here And I'm going to put a little bit of the prussian blue in it To get just a lighter cooler blue Because this is a night scene and I'm thinking I like that aquamarine, but my ocean's a little bit on the warm side And don't treat any previous marks. You've already made too preciously You can always bring them back Don't forget to paint the sides too And I'm sorry I didn't give you guys enough notice to have something in your hands to do the same painting I didn't honestly with all the camera equipment issues. I was having I didn't have I had no idea what I was doing It only came to me I squeezed in a few minutes this morning at the gym to go get some steps in and that's I was on the treadmill and went aha. That's what we should do So anyway That's what we're doing So now I'm going to keep going and I'm going to take some white with the the Mixture I have had already on here and it's just going to make it lighter You can replay and paint and you know that I'm going to um One of the things I like about simulcasting is that It's really quick and easy for me to download the video footage From ustream and then edit it just a teeny bit and stick it up on youtube So I will be doing that and by tonight at the latest it should be up there So i'm going to take my baby wipe and just Blend this just a little bit. I'm barely touching it to the canvas And I have some of these little canvases from You know just playing and experimenting or got some from when I first started from like 2009 that are really bad. I just keep adding more layers on them Okay, I want to let that dry a little bit, but that's a great start Let's work on the sky a little bit wash my brush off See if I push that up a little bit. You guys can see it on um periscope. No, I use Kirkland baby wipes generic um Costco brand what or whatever is on sale Bye bye birdie exactly. So I'm going to mix some of my prussian blue with some of my aquamarine I like to start And I'm painting with acrylic from dark and work my way lighter You're welcome. Those are great questions. Keep asking them. I can answer those while I'm painting And I'm going to add some of this dark here into the painting I'm going to start building up our layers in our sky. Bye bye birdie Yeah, the alcohol free are nice. I I do try to get the scent free I have allergies and asthma So I try to get the ones that are unscented because lots of the scents really drive me up the wall Make me cough hack wheeze. It's not pretty The alcohol ones have their uses though alcohol is really great about removing dried acrylic paint and that's you know, that's a whole different look That you might like You might try I keep an alcohol um Pump thing near my desk here And by pumping I mean these back when I was a licensed dispensing optician We had these in the lab full of acetone and alcohol and things and this is a great little Thing and you just push down on the top and alcohol comes up I have that's what I have in it. I have rubbing alcohol Use it in my watercolor and stuff like that I got the little jar on amazon. I don't remember what they're called before somebody even asked me So i'm just blending it out a little bit. That's nice. Okay, let's Do this top edge I think these deco art paints are a great value for the money So if you're thinking about getting into acrylic painting and you want to try See if you can get your hands on some of these traditions paints. They're a lot more affordable than some of the other artists paints So i'm lightening up my blue That I used for my sky And i'm going to work on a little piece of time. I love these colors, too Well, I love blues you all know that if you've been watching me a while And again when you're working from any photo, you know Even your own photo Painting from a photo for me is about Painting the impression of the photo and not copying the photo exactly if I want an exact copy a realistic copy of that That image on that photo. Well, I'll just have my daughter the photographer take a photo for me So um, you know for me, this is just about painting the impression that I'm getting from the photo Which I think is more fun and more creative. So See what you can do with that and have some fun with it And don't be afraid to you know, like put some paint down and then get in here and Smear it around with a baby wipe and you know god if it's they're completely wrong color If it's wet you can just take the whole thing off If it's dry just let it dry and then go back over it again with some more Paint at some point. Let's start adding some fun colors to there Stick with the same brush for now I need to sip a coffee So it's getting there. You can start to see a cloudy sky and an ocean. You're starting to get there So now we're gonna come back with Um, I need some more white You know, I figured I hadn't done one of these acrylic painting over painting tutorials in a long time last time I did one was um taped for youtube so I thought it was kind of way past time I'm gonna take some of my white. I just poured out and I'm gonna mix it with a little bit of my yellow My lightest color yellow. This is the hanty yellow. I think yeah hanty yellow Okay, and so I'm going to I'm looking on my inspiration photo where the like sun rays are coming out through the clouds Good morning, april Okay, so then I'm gonna get in here with my fingers And a baby wipe we'll switch to the smaller filbert brush And I'm gonna stick with the yellow for a minute here Oh, yay. Yeah, I'm glad you're able to catch some too and that fritzy is working And so you know this I don't know how long he's gonna keep working So what do you mean by professional artist? Have I sold artwork to people? Yes I used to be in a shop here in san jose with my art and crafty things They went out of business I don't know about other places in the country, but at least here In san jose They don't sell well. Yes. This is what I do for a living. I'm a youtuber and professional artist and teacher It's what I do. I have lots of allergies and asthma. I'm not actually capable of doing anything else physically. So Which is a silent blessing because I love doing what I do. So I should say unexpected blessing So I'm just creating some reflections in the water and I'm gonna come in here I put some paint on there and then I'm gonna come in here and just moving around with my baby wipe I might leave like with watercolor. I might leave some of the marks To suggest what I want them to Now because now we're we're leaving marks and we're making the colors darker That's giving me, you know Here what I saw in this photo where you have this sort of burst Of sunlight coming out in the photo, right? And that's we've got that burst on there now So I'm going to take a little bit of this, um red violet color. I forget what color it was uh, quirocridone violet And I'm going to mix it with a little bit of my darker yellow and just orange it up a little bit Not without switching the camera around and if you're a troll, please stop because I will block you Just go to another channel. This isn't the channel for you All right, so now we're going to come in with our orangey color And we're really looking at the inspiration photo Okay Blocked yeah, exactly right go away troll Seriously, don't people have better things to do? I don't I don't understand people I you know, I used to just think it was me because that I was you know I always thought I was normal, but maybe everybody else was weird now. I'm just thinking I'm weird You troll be gone spray exactly you find some Michelle you let me know because I think I need some every time I come on one of the two broadcasts mostly periscope Yeah, there's trolls So I'm just working my way around the painting using the inspiration photo For an idea of where I where the sun is reflecting I don't know. I think they have they're sad people and have nothing better to do So I'm where the sun is reflecting on the underneath of the clouds. It's really coming, you know, it's coming up And reflecting on the underneath side of these clouds Yep, exactly So pathetic children you need to get a life I don't know why it just doesn't make sense And honestly, I'm just me. I'm you know a 52 year old, you know middle-aged Woman, I am not a sex sex symbol by any stretch Um, you know what? I don't want to tell you guys that live somewhere, you know, else where it's all You know icky weather It's bright and sunny So I'm using still using I'm just you know, I'm following the inspiration photo where the colors are New jersey. Yay One of these days. I'm gonna get out there to new jersey The east coast My husband keeps telling me he's gonna take me He's a new yorker, don't you know But I want to go to carlos bakery, which means I need to go to the east coast. I am using deco arts products Let's switch. Yeah, I know it's kind of cold out there right now, huh? Um, I'm using deco arts traditions acrylic paint Sorry You're made in Maine. See I know see I know it's really bad some parts of the country I'm sorry you guys so the one thing I'm going to do here is you see how this color if you can see on camera This is not completely mixed. I'm going to leave it that way. It'll give me interesting marks And I'm going to keep following What I see in the photo That paint I'm going to just kind of wipe off because that was in the wrong place And I'm going to keep adding my paint colors Per the photo in a similar fashion to what I see that going on in the photo Then I'll lay some paint down smeared around with my finger Yes, neo colors work great. The question is have you mixed neo colors with acrylic the answer is yes um neo colors work great with acrylic and frequently, um I don't just use acrylic on a painting like this and I would use neo Excuse me neo colors metallics markers pens We do have some collage on here, but um, this is a deco art You know demo so We'll use deco art products, but you could use anything now the one thing that it's fun to add to the paintings Um, that's a deco art product that i'm really loving are the deco art glass paint pens I love them and they dry and they Some of the colors are sheer some of the colors are opaque Yeah, I almost never just use paint on anything. That's that's pretty rare Um, when I do do it it's usually because I'm doing a demo like this Uh work, okay go to work. It's important to make money. I know I'm a starving artist. It's important to make money Oh, thanks, and we're not even nearly done yet. We may not be done today We may we may have to finish the next time Okay, we're gonna add some more white to that and we're gonna light it up again Lighten it up not light it up. Holy cow And I may add a little bit of this bluish white in there too starving professional artist yet. Well, you know, it's true Thank goodness my husband has a good job or we wouldn't be able to eat or pay the mortgage That's usually what I tell people is if we had to rely on my income to pay bills We'd be so it's such big trouble. I will post this up on youtube later And like I said, don't be surprised if at the end of the video. It's not Finished That won't surprise me in the least and we will I'll just leave it until we get on next time Now see how I have these kind of random Marks here. I like those and they're very suggestive of clouds. I want to I'm not going to touch that I'm going to leave it. I could wipe it away My youtube channel is the same as my name here on periscope gena b errands So if you just if you just search for that you'll find me right away You can also go to my website, which again is the same under the same name And all of my social media links my online stores ways you can support me in my art and my family From having to pay for my art supplies Um, those are all on my website My husband's threatened to make a public service announcement that for me to broadcast when I'm live like this or on youtube with him dressed in rags Asking you all to support me. Do you know how much my art supplies cost him? I thought he was too funny I know right He was hilarious. That was kind of funny. I was like really? He had this whole script planned out So now that I like that what's going on there, but now it's too yellow So let's go back to our blues. I'm going to put some ultramarine in there Which is more of a cool blue Mix it a little bit with the prussian blue And I'll gray it up a little bit. I just have to make sure I stick it in the right place So this is what I mean. So we lost some of our blue Sort of suggestions of the cloudy shapes here and that's okay I'm going to bring them back by adding more blue on top of the yellow that I put I'm not going to try to cover up the yellow That I put on here I'm just adding another layer of interest I'm bringing back those shapes that we lost And I'm just tapping the brush to the canvas. I'm not really, you know, I'm not brushing it on I'm tapping it on and I'm Blending some of the shapes, but I'm leaving some of them too Welcome everybody. We're getting a bunch of new members suddenly Or new members new viewers If you have any questions about um Any of my work, of course, as was said already previously you can go to Um my website. There's a bunch of stuff over there, but you can also join my facebook group We're just we're adding more and more layers of paint Inspired by our sunset picture, which I have off camera for those of you just joining the pictures off camera But you can go back to the periscope recording or later on to the youtube When I get that loaded and you can um watch and see the Copy of the photo Okay, I'm going to leave that alone for a little bit. I have some purple here Purple is a great cool Shadow color besides paints gray It's one of my favorites Lost the sound that can't be good Is it you lisa? Did everybody lose the sound or is it just something on lisa's end? So i'm just building up my layers adding more shadows. We're painting over an old canvas of mine And we're working on a sunset picture and of course i'm I love to do sky so right now i'm stuck on the sky I need to stop and leave it alone in a minute though You can still see a little bit of the bird that was originally on here in the background And that's kind of cool. I kind of like that I don't think it's just you because somebody else just said they lost sound on periscope Sound is fine on u-stream Yay, that can't be good. No sound over on periscope for those of you on u-stream I'm not sure. All right. I'm going to leave this alone right now. We're going to work down here Hopefully they understood that over on uh Periscope I'm going to take Um some of one of my i'm going to take this blue here that I have i'm going to put some black in it Hopefully they can go out and come back in and you guys can Get the sound back They thought I was in my quiet zone. No, I think it's periscope. I haven't changed anything the camera is like way up there So thank you for going over to periscope scrap chic You can let them know I haven't touched my camera. So I mean it's my telephone and it's up that way So I don't know Tell them all to come over to u-stream if you would If periscope's going to be a problem they can come over to u-stream. There could be all the storms Yeah, more of you are coming over to u-stream I think that's probably a good idea if you're getting no sound on periscope because I haven't changed anything So I have no idea what's going on I'll just keep painting and talking The recording will be on youtube later I'm adding some of my purple to some of my blues and I'm just making a dark color I'm probably gonna I think I'm gonna add some brown to it I'm just going on instinct and mixing something dark Hey lisa Over on u-stream Is periscope maybe do another update? Well, I wonder So I'm just I'm working on my um ocean. I'm letting the sky dry a little bit When you're doing a any kind of a water scene you want this kind of line here between the sky and the ocean To be pretty defined generally And I'm you know, again, I'm looking at my inspiration photo and kind of getting a feel for where that dark patches were in the waves And that's where I want to start. You know, I want to darken work on the darks. Okay, and then I'm going to keep going darker for a little bit, which I did with the sky There's no audio. There's no sound and I don't know why there's no sound Now I forgot what color I picked up. I think I picked up black. Hopefully Yeah black I'm doing the sound to start me off So I'm going to be very careful about where I put the black and how much I put That's not the right color Hey Colleen. Hey Lisa If one of you is still logged into Periscope, if you could go over there and let everybody know that there's some audio issues Maybe they can switch over to Ustream I know Colleen you did once already, but we probably need to do it a couple more times Okay, so we're gonna let that dry a little bit. Let's go back up here Um, let's mix up a really light blue skyish blue. Let's do I'm gonna get a room over here. Let's put it here. We're gonna put a little bit ultra marine And some white and we're gonna need some just plain white This time. I don't think it's my equipment. I think I think it's the I think it's the uh I think it's the app I know I've been having equipment issues, but we're broadcasting on Periscope with my phone and that hasn't been an issue So I don't think it's my phone Thank you Colleen for doing that. I appreciate it Oh, see now Periscope just crashed on my iPad The app That I was viewing with That's why I think it's Periscope Everybody's coming over to Ustream, which is fine You saw me just dip my baby wipe into the paint Which I like to do. I don't always like to use a brush And again, I'm not treating anything too precious um Periscope is crashing on my iPad. I'm I'm not even touching my iPad. So I'm not sure what's going on Over there Yeah, welcome everybody. Yeah, I think it's the app My app crashed again on my iPad. It won't stay it won't stay open now I'll keep broadcasting over there. Maybe they can get the recording later, but I think if they want to see hear what I'm saying, they're gonna have to wait wait for youtube or they're gonna have to switch to Ustream One of the good things about simulcasting is I can guarantee I'm not going to go off the air unexpectedly Let's go back to a brush So we got some color on there and we lighten up our sky and continue working on that And I'm losing my yellow again, but I'm okay with that because I can always bring it back Sometimes it's hard to know when to stop But whenever you're you know, if you feel like you might be really happy with the way it looks Even if it ends up looking nothing like your inspiration photo then stop Because maybe that's maybe that's you know, maybe that's going to be good for you Oh good I think that's a good thing that you're all leaving periscope because I can tell you I'm not even touching my iPad except to turn periscope back on because it keeps going off by itself It's doing all kinds of not fun things I'm also going to do this sometimes. It's good to get a different perspective on your paintings That crashed again. My the app keeps crashing My water container, you know where this is from? I actually I actually got this one at michael's but I have two of them. I found a second one at Safeway When I was grocery shopping, I happened to walk through the floral department, which I never do because the flowers usually make me wheeze um And they had another one it's um meant for floral arrangements And they had another one So I actually have a spare now because I was worried I'd you know drop and break one of the containers or something And I love it so much. So look in your At you know, like at michael's I got it in the spring when they had the all the spring home decor come in So when that happens look there Um or look in your you know floral department at your grocery store Three would be handy and I've seen one with three but the containers were smaller and I like the big giant containers So that's a great question. They app crashed on my iPad again. So I'm gonna just leave it now. I don't I won't be well I hate to do that because if there's somebody over there and it starts working asking questions I won't know what they're saying I don't know how to leave anything alone There's only five people watching now because everybody's coming over to ustream So now I'm just holding it up to see if I'm starting to get the effect that I want and I am I'm thinking that this whole dark patch right here Needs to go. I know you're all probably going It's glass. Yeah, these are glass and then with a wire basket I would like three but I would like three big ones like this and that I haven't seen yet Um But I like this one And you could just buy two of them and you could make two work so painting with a baby wipe is nice because It keeps your hands clean for obvious reasons. It's nice. But also because You can really smear the paint around and get smudgy marks That you just can't get with the paintbrush See, I like this like ripply texture we've got going on here And I lied I might just stay on and finish this if you guys are up for watching Because now that I've started it's you know, it's a cathartic process and I've had such a stressful weekend It's fun to just sit and just paint At least while the camera fritz is decided to cooperate. So we might as well catch him on his good day Now again, we're bringing back out the blues But we're losing some of the yellows. I'm okay with that. So we're not you losing all of them But we'll we'll bring them back. You can still see some of the writing right here from the um The collage paper and you can see a little bit of the bird's head right there Which I think I'm going to try and save Now sometimes if I'm going to scrub hard on my canvas when I'm doing that, I'll put a book underneath of it I like that All right, let's go in with the small brush Back to yellow and let's mix our two yellows together. I think at this point And I think I want to pre-mix some orange And I'm just I'm just at this point. I'm just using the colors that are on my collet And the nice thing about using this Kodak Redone Violet, which is Almost a magenta is you get this kind of purpley warm orange color, which is that's what I want for this painting I'm going to before I touch the paint to canvas Yeah, the app crashed again. By the way, FYI Where is my clay tool? I wash it. Hold on. I need my little brush So you could use this Or you could use one of these is this is a clay tool now. This is not a deco art product. This is a low corneal product, but I love it. So I'm going to put some of this orangey color here And then I'm going to do this You could do it with any kind of brush if you have like an old toothbrush or Periscope just keeps crashing at this point. So I don't know Shows me still on the air, but I don't know it just keeps crashing the app Not my not my system. I'm still on the air, but I don't know So then I'm going to come in here with the light yellow And basically do the same thing I can't even get periscope to stay open you guys I keep trying it keeps closing I'm going to switch to a really tiny brush Yep, there it goes it crashed again This is just a small round. I think this is a folk art brush It's probably a bit past it too most of well not most some of my brushes are but they're my favorites So I'm kind of following along with the suggestions in what's happened in my my painting inspired by our Brent Frazier photograph and Making what are already the lighter spots Where our sun is kind of coming through the clouds making them even lighter with this lighter yellow color And this time I'm not doing so much to Get rid of our brush marks I'm going to leave them I like some okay Now I need some more I keep running out of blue Go figure. All right, so I want to come in with The small filbert first And I'm going to take some of the ultramarine and mix it with some of the prussian blue For the most part. I'm not going to Wipe the marks away I may occasionally with my just with my finger not with the baby white like we did with the yellow the light yellow colors Now I'm still I still have the photo out guidance, but I'm really looking at The spots in our painting that happened on their own Where it's darker Let me know on you stream if you guys have any questions since Periscope is not working and if you guys can get in periscope, which won't even stay open on my iPad now Um, you can let everybody know over there. I'm still broadcasting, but um They probably can't hear me and It just does nothing but crash So I don't know no, I don't want to neglect these other areas up here But one thing I do want to do is I want to take some of Um one of my colors And I'm gonna I think start with this that's on my palette And I want to I have to turn these into more cloud shapes red color and back to the blue So clouds generally speaking are really about layers of marks And this is just some pure white And before I get too far with that I'm going to Smudge it in with my fingers
