 Oh, shit. I don't want to do this again. Hey, digits Frederick Chopin here today now before you think I'm copying to talk I did this shit a year ago. I painted white shoes once on my channel ever since that video I've not been the same. I have so many painting things now that I don't need But one thing I've learned is that painting shoes is the longest most hardest most nerve-wracking thing I've ever done especially as a perfectionist. Well, my friend wanted some shoes painted starry night and I was like Fine I got these vans for $10. They are a size 10 I have no interest in wearing them and you'll notice that it's like slightly pink But that does not matter for shoes because we're painting over it anyways And I'm lighting a candle in the summertime because that shit keeps me sane. I'm gonna go crazy painting these shoes at some point I know it after painting those first shoes and painting a lot in general I've learned some tips and tricks first thing we got to do is Tape our fucking mouth shut. I'm kidding You want to put tape all around the white soul so that you don't mess it up and just do that Real nice and quick here. Don't worry about being too precise. You can always just take the paint off later I just realized I'm risking a lot by having three cups of water right next to a candle Also having a candle on a mobile desk would not recommend doing that folks. All right That's as best as we're gonna get it now that you have the white part covered You want to stuff your shoe basically keeps the shoe upright instead of pushing down by the way My whole floor has been protected in towels. I think there are five towels down here right now Okay, I fixed the lighting a little bit. I think it's more true to color now that this is done We need to begin painting actually I need to pull the picture a story night first because we'll be here for a while Okay, so I have the picture pulled up and I have to basically put the whole picture on these shoes somehow I think what I'm gonna do is have the big Black fire thing right here the moon right here, and then I'll just do random. Oh my god, um, I Just got a tornado warning on my phone. Am I gonna have to cancel this video until tomorrow? I did say this would be a three-day project, so I might have to cancel this I've been wearing this beret because I forgot I used to wear it for Frederick's Arkham And I stopped doing it for some reason, but we're back so Get ready. Oh shit I'll do this tomorrow. Yeah, I'll do this tomorrow much later Okay, it is a little bit later and the Thunderstorm is done I also decided to take the beret off because I looked fucking stupid in it It also gave me time to look at the starry night portrait, and I'm realizing there's a lot of shit going on Like all of these involve small strokes, and I don't know if I can do that. Um Let's start off with sketching. I feel like that's the smart decision Like I want to get a general idea of where everything's gonna be so I'm going to time Love this real quick because this will take forever As a kid, I never really looked at it up close, but I did not realize there's that much detail Do I want to sketch out every single house? Yes, I do My first idea was just to create a dark blue and paint it all over here and layer on top But I don't think I can do that now because this is Complicated this might be the hardest painting ever even more than my graduation cap and bold and brash So excuse me while I begin to outline every fucking house I see and prepare to get cramps in my hand. Alright, so as I'm drawing more and more of these houses I'm realizing there are more on here than on this painting. This piece is more What's this word? It's not as landscapy as I imagine and these shoes curve a lot So I'm gonna have to fake some houses I mean, I don't think anyone's gonna notice I added two or three more houses Except the people who are gonna watch this video including my friend who's getting these shoes Hope you like them Daniel. He's doing a lot of spiral action. What's going on with that? And he has like some acres right here some more bushes, so I put these two together They should connect right here. Okay. I think the sketching is done. Now. I have to get my paint brushes out. Oh My god, these look best to me. All right now. Do I want to do lightest to darkest? Yes, that is ideal. I'm gonna start off with the stars. That seems easiest to me the stars have this Whiteish yellow color. Why do I sound like a smart ass? Let me stop. They look white yellow. I don't have fabric paint I make it myself. This is called textile medium Basically combined this with any acrylic paint you want and it turns it into permanent flexible and washable fabric paint And the ratio is a two-to-one acrylic paint and medium So I'm going to mix some white and some yellow just to have both now I usually eyeball this because I don't believe in Measuring paint. Oh, I also have a new thing I bought some palette knives, so I'm just gonna mix up my mediums right here Oh, I'm so fancy with my palette knife now guys By the way, you might want to pull up a picture of Starry Night while watching this video because it'll make more sense when I'm referencing Sorry, I'm just cleaning off my palette knife using my towels on the floor. Maybe I shouldn't Where do you start with this painting man because I'm looking at the white and it's sort of blending in with the blue, too Did you really start off with the darkest colors first? Okay, fine, fine. We'll do the darkest colors first. Okay, I'm just gonna mix all the colors I think to make it easier for me the weird fiery thing that he has down here is a mixture of Brown black and green. I got hookers green like always never just gonna put our textile medium and all of them so I really wish I could use oil paint for this because Acrylic paint dries way too fast. I'm taking the O with that and that is not a dark enough black. Hold on hold on Oh, if you're worried that textile medium lightens the color because it appears white. It has never done that for me I don't know why I'm trying to talk like I'm an artist. I'm just a normal kid We're just gonna put down the base of this and I already realize This brush is way too big. Thank you for your contribution or lack of this is gonna take a while I'm prepared, but I want to make sure these lines are clean. I just realized I was not supposed to paint there That's a hill. I also just noticed that the tape did not really cover and protect because I see some black trickling down Slowly but surely down the whole soul. Oh, and if you're wondering how I got these shoes for $10, I thrifted them So what was van Gogh thinking when he was making this weird fire thing? Okay now that I have the base layer done I'm now going to go in with some Impressionistic strokes. I have no idea how I'm going to do this. I'm not accustomed to voluntary putting strokes onto a painting Oh, I'm already starting to blend damn it. Damn it. Nope. Don't blend a Frederick. It's just so weird You have to do little flicks and I have no brush that is small enough to do that All I can say is it looks nothing like what it's supposed to be. It just looks very weird That's all I can say granted. This is the weirdest part of the painting. So maybe it'll be fine after How do you just simply layer on top of them and not have them mix? Okay, this brush isn't working either It's too thick. I will consider using my thin brush. So the thinnest brush I have is This one no wonder van Gogh took for fucking ever to do this painting usually for these videos I have a sense of what to do going into them this time. I don't know where the fuck to start You can't even tell you can't even tell on the camera I Truly truly Jacqueline Hill truly don't know what to do with this thing I have no idea where to start I need every single color on the palette basically might as well do that Let me just get a blue real quick. He uses a fat on the blue All right I have a lot of blue right there if I run out of blue. I'll be fucking pissed So if you wanted to do this on your shoes Don't it's the trick like I need a different brush for every color But I also have to be comfortable with mixing in between my colors and you need a palette to do that But I didn't do that because I'm an idiot whatever. Let's just do this fuck. That's not even pigmented All right, I thought that'd be a much darker blue, but turns out this is not as pigmented as I initially thought Oh my god, this thing is soaking up all my paint. I'm gonna need a lot more blue than this It doesn't matter if pink gets inside the shoe, right? Like literally all I've done is paint the shoe of blue and then I did some fire But I gave up halfway in between. Oh, but it dried it looks okay. Hmm. Maybe there's some hope for me Jesus, what the fuck am I doing? This shoe soaked up all my blue. I only have a limited amount of this blue guys It's supposed to cover half of that other shoe too I forgot to mention this but fabric likes to soak up fabric paint like a fucking sponge Also, what is up with the back of this shoe? It's two different colors and the My candle is not lit and that's why I'm so stressed Maybe it would have been better to search up a tutorial on how to paint starry night first I'm actually gonna highly regret not doing that probably. Why do my friend have to request starry night? Why did he request a professional painting done by a professional artist who made millions of dollars after he died? And he expects me the sunflower guy the guy who can paint sunflowers for a living He expects me of all people to be able to do this my friend has very high expectations for me And he should not I mean the color is right like it's a beautiful color. I will admit that much Let's see if I can't dip some glue into here and make sure Do some shit. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. It's gonna take so much paint guys Oh my gosh, I should not have done the fiery thing first because I have to paint around it Oh, I shouldn't have done that. Mmm Whenever I'm painting over it, I'll just keep layering on after I have priorities right now All right, I gave up on the blue. I'm just gonna go back to my original fire thing Okay, so my theory is if I can't manage to paint little strokes of these colors I just put gloves of paint all over here and just swipe as I go van go is given a much bigger canvas I'm given a fucking shoe. Like what do you expect me to work with here guys? Although. This is actually kind of working I don't know how I feel about the idea of leaving big clumps of paint on a shoe But I think that's the only way if we want to get the true Look and feel of van goes original. It's like don't walk in the rain or anywhere wet ever Daniel no, we find like it's kind of looking better now whoot whoot by the way Daniel I actually took art classes in school. I Watched Jenna Marbles online. That is the difference in education for us. All right. I think the fire is finally done I'm just kind of mad because I saw to paint around it with the freaking sky much much later Oh my god, I've been painting for hours now I decided to do some of it off-camera because it was basically Boring stuff and I got really carried away and forgot that I am a youtuber who needs to record a video This is what I have so far. Basically what I did was I took this blue and put it all over here dark blue on top of it Yes, that is the whole tube of dark blue in there right now And what I slowly did was just added a little bit of white to accent But as you can clearly see this looks nothing like the original and you know what? I don't care because I realized I can't make it look like the original but it is impressionistic and this is my impression of what starting night looks like and this is also So many goddamn layers. I have no idea how I'm gonna do the little Thing but we'll work as I go. I also don't know why I'm pulling both them like it's helping me or something for the windy Galaxy thing I'm doing just a bunch of layers of white and I'm hoping eventually one of the layers looks right Because that this is about five layers already like this one looks okay But it could be much better except I don't know how to make it better So I just keep doing the same goddamn thing. Also. I ruined the fire thing I'm gonna have to trace over that After this and I have not done any stars because I don't want to even think about how to do those stars yet Oh my god One of my videos to like a copyright I finally was released because guess what guys using two seconds of a song is Not YouTube friendly right putting another layer of dark blue over this. I mean I think this layer looks okay. It's just kind of Thick now like it's hard for me to even move my brush in between just because of how many layers I put over it But I think that's the best we're gonna get with the galaxy swoosh thing I'm gonna come back to my small small brush because maybe that would make a difference I actually like what's going on on this side. Let me just see if I can copy that a bunch of times Do they have a brush that's just like one strand like I want a brush that literally has one piece of hair on the end That'll be very helpful right now. All right. I think that she was done Let's finish this one. I mean, there's not much left to do I'm just gonna do one small layer of this real quick. I'm gonna try something different I have both white and blue on my brush They thought that maybe using both will help this blend better, but I think I like what I'm doing here more Yeah, I like this much more. All right, that one is perfect I don't want to do anything to that like I realize it is stupid to do a brush stroke on every piece of the background So I just kept mixing and mixing until it looked like Patchy. Okay, so we're gonna add one more layer of white. It really reminds me of Bob Ross when he does the liquid white because it helps blend the colors you add on top better Maybe add some strokes of blue. Does it have so much of it? Oh my god. I did not need that I'm a oh What they know don't say Did I do it? If I put these two together do they match up? I need to add more of this cobalt blue to this side Which means I got to redo every fucking thing I don't even do this. This is always the most stressful thing for me. People say painting is therapeutic I find it stressful. I don't feel any of my inner demons being released. I actually feel them crying for me It's done. I think I did it. Holy crap. All right. That's starting to look like the thing the thing What's it called starry night? Okay, now I'm gonna do the moon I also stopped looking at the reference picture just because I don't want to know how bad I'm doing compared to it first We're gonna add some yellow and white to the center But you also have to make sure you keep the blue in there, which makes no sense So this will be a lot of mixing again. If I just make them a little bit scratchy looking So it's like fading out that'll help give off that feel. I don't know. I'm really bullshitting through this Okay, like I'm not gonna lie to you and say I know what I'm doing here clearly I am new to starry night and I definitely do not want to oil paint anytime soon All right, I think that looks good enough as for the moon moon. It's a very orangey yellow So I need to add some red to this. Let me beat the devil really quick That is clearly peach. I don't think I've been painting for oh My god, it's nine o'clock. I've been doing this for three hours now Also, I just realized having a yellow moon makes absolutely no sense and then you put some random I don't know how this moon pops like my moon is not popping as his okay I think that's the best I'm gonna get. Um, I don't know what to do about that moon. It's not really showing up I think I'll add another layer after I'm done. I'm gonna take a break for tonight I will see you tomorrow for day two of this fucking project much much much later Okay, it's day two. I have no idea if the paint that I used that last time is still even wet Oh the black is still There at least some of the brown Wow, I'm impressed I just laid an extra palette over top of this and I did not expect that to stay So I need to finish painting the lights I have some places where I didn't paint anything because that is where I wanted the lights to be so I'm gonna see if I can't Replicate his stars. Okay, I will say the paint is much more thick So I need to water it down just a little bit. I'm gonna add some white to accent the lights a little more make it seem like they're popping This one actually looks pretty good. I'm impressed with myself Okay, there's one down. So if you want the tutorial version of this, I put the Orangey yellow color in the center spread it out like this and just do some weird circle things Add some accents. All right Another star is done. We only have so many more to go Nice Okay, I think I got all the stars on this. You're done. Next we're gonna do the other one I'm sorry. I don't have the technique of a professional. I'm not Joanna CD. Uh, all right That is all of the stars done. I think they look Pretty good. There's a lot more stars on this one. But like this one has the black fiery thing So I thought I would balance it out speaking of black fire I'm gonna repaint all of this because that clearly got ruined in the process of painting. I don't know how easy this is gonna be I don't expect it to be easy though mainly because I can't see any of my lines anymore Okay, I got an outline. I just kind of figure out how to get these brown and green brush strokes in again For some reason that worked much easier than the last time. All right, I think that's good enough You're full. My card is full. How long have I been doing this? All right, so I took yet another break. This should all be dry right now And my paint is probably dry too, but that's fine. I don't need any more of it What I want to do is figure out how to do this hill situation because it's very confusing me like somehow This requires even more blue than last time. I'm also very sorry that this is basically turning into an art channel Except I'm not professional in any way shape or form Uh-huh. I already know something's gonna go wrong where I need white to cover it up So why not just make a net? There was so much to this painting that I did not know about I cannot have the patience to do all of this. So I highly respect him. Damn it. I want to paint around this again There's a hill like right here. I mean, I'm gonna have to just paint this in my own way Which is basically me trying to find the easiest way to make it look like the actual painting Hmm It's fine. I'm not gonna freak out yet. This blue doesn't want to layer over itself I don't know why that is a thing. I paid good money for this and all I wanted for you was to be opaque But you don't want to fucking do that. So I guess we're stuck here I'm gonna add like one swipe of white just one. Maybe that'll make this look a little bit more like a hill I don't know when was the last time you saw a blue hill. Oh This looks terrible. I looked at the picture There's like multiple layers to these hills. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it. Okay. So one thing I know for sure is that the hills behind are much more darker. So I'm going to Add just a little bit of green. Oh, that is too much And now you want to be pigmented, huh? I'm gonna see if I can perfect this one. So he uses like Downward strokes for this one hill just this one hill. I see downward strokes It's a little bit of black. I think I'm okay with that. I'm gonna let that dry until then. Let's work back on this one They're all kind of the same color. It's like a greenish Blue but also black at the same time. It's very confusing. There we go That's more of the color I'm looking for do that a couple more times and we'll be good This all looks very messy, but I feel like it all just magically turns into a beautiful masterpiece at the end Like what is that? Looks like I'll be painting over my fire for the millionth time These are supposed to be bushes. Let me know when they look like bushes to you because I don't see it at all Okay, that's literally what it looks like in the picture. I'm just gonna go with it I have to figure out how to make this hill look streaky. That is what I'm looking for I realized that the hill was way too dark. So I'm just gonna lighten it up a little bit He also outlines these hills, which is gonna be terrible for me because you know how much I hate tracing and no I can't just use a black paint pen because that is not fabric paint So you can go ahead and delete your comment because I already know you're typing it Let me know when they invent fabric paint pens, then we'll talk. Okay. I think that is the best I can do So let's paint over the next layer. This hill magically fades from a nice black To a blue just what I wanted a gradient. I hope you know this is like Blue white and black all mixed together, but somehow you can see every color. It makes zero sense I'm convinced that this can only be done with oil paint. Oh, no, that's too much black It's too much. That's so much more than I needed. Fuck before I mess that one up anymore Let me go back to I have to redo this on there somehow. So I'd rather make them green so you can tell that they're hills then make it blue and just look like the sky again Does that somehow match up? It actually does maybe just stop looking at the image because they're just gonna make me more mad Maybe add some shading just like a little bit of black to this. Oh, it's too much white. Oh god. Damn it. No I wonder if these shoes are even breathable like this paint has been layered so many times Next we're gonna do yet another layer while I'm at this I'm just going to go ahead and outline the rest of the hills. Maybe outlining will help make it look better Say cheese Why do people say painting is so therapeutic? This is stressful as hell. You're all lied My butt hurts from sitting down. My SD card is almost full and it's 64 gigabytes That has never happened in any video and I feel like I'm not even done yet We're gonna touch this off with just another layer of the black liner and those are my hills. What do you think guys? Oh god, please don't fall in the light. It actually looks pretty good. Okay, so for the bushes He takes like green and white and just does a bunch of circles. I think this looks right I'm so sorry van gove. I'm disturbing your sleep I feel like every time someone paints a famous artist painting they get a headache in the afterlife Now I'm just going to add some white accents. I'm just going to take like one dollop and swipe Okay, this is a very stupid technique But I think it's going to work little circles of white and then Blend it out. Oh my god. This white jar. It's way too fast. Hold on. Nope. Never mind. That did not work Like expected. Okay, so we're not going to do is that a little bit faster this time Frederick Oh, no, it's getting more It's getting worse and worse and worse I need someone here to tell me that everything is okay because everything is really not going okay right now I just wanted to look like bushes. Art is supposed to be fun and I'm not having fun That is the closest I can get to a bush. I'm sorry. I'm done. I'm not touching it anymore. We're moving on to the houses Oh my god, there's so many of them. I'm just going to paint some squares One color that is very commonly used is this blue. I feel like if I just paint a bunch of shapes It'll eventually work out because I have to outline all of these things eventually. There's also some Greenish colors. He also uses some brown in here. The thing is it's very muddy here Like I can't make out what's a house and what's grass There's only one thing that I can tell the house and it's a freaking church So I'm just going to focus on making that one thing happen. The church is Very tall and there's a building below it at this point. I don't think it's mainly about the shapes I think it's about getting colors on here at a house right here because I fucking can't Oh no, oh did it get on my uh it got on my chair a brown blue house How do you make that color? Okay? These colors are basically all mixed together So I'm just going to start doing that. I just looked at a house and I counted five different colors So I'm done trying to make the shapes. I just want this to be over with now Okay, that is my neighborhood by the way, all of these houses have chimneys and I find that very interesting He also makes a lot of these things dark like he'll just add black lines everywhere So I think I can handle that oh my hand needs to stop shaking please. Oh my god Basically the trick is to outline everything just outline until it looks like a house the more confusing you make this the better It'll be in my opinion. You want them to look at it and just be like, huh? Is that a house? I don't know bitch. These things are 3d as hell. This is starting to look good Okay, I need to shut up more triangles triangles are good You don't have to make houses if you just connect them somewhere. It looks like they're a neighborhood Dude, that looks like it. You can't even tell what's going on. I was right. We have to add yellow because The lights are on just add a hint of yellow Occasionally, oh my god, he literally puts him like in a corner It does not matter where you put it and the yellow has to be a little bit less vibrant So I'm just gonna blend it out. I just add a water to my brush and I'm just gonna go back and forth I fucking did it. Oh my god I may be an artist that actually looks pretty good once it's all done It's kind of like a makeup look you're so confused until the very end after you put on lashes I'm very happy with them considering the fact that I made this a little more Like blended instead of individual strokes. I really like the way it looks though I'm I'm proud of what I could do with my skills. Keep in mind here professional artists. I am self taught I learned from the internet. Okay, so don't judge me too hard I'm gonna go ahead and let them dry But that is the end of the video and as always I will read a coming out story the end of my videos because I want to promote being authentic to yourself. Who's my specimen this time as always I'll keep the message anonymous I respect I came out to my dad a few months ago when I was at my school's GSA gay straight alliance for those of you who don't know I texted him asking if he knew what being pansexual was and he said No, and I told him to look it up. So when I got home, he said I was too young to know my sexuality Which really hurt when I do know my sexuality and he was trying to make up an excuse I later came out to my close friends and they all accepted me That is a reality that a lot of us have to deal with but I'm glad that you have some acceptance from your close friends But that is all I have for you today. So if you enjoyed give this video a like leave a comment down below Please do not ask me to paint shoes again. I'm done. I'm never doing it again Subscribe for more amateur painting videos. And as always, I love you guys and everything is less than three now I will take my break because I deserve it
