 And Today I'm gonna be playing with oceans and All of that sort of awesome. So if that's your cup of tea Stay tuned for today's Fly feed I hope my nope It's gonna just slowly. All right, so we're just gonna live right here. It's fine so I am a little bit early today because I I'm trying to do a big ocean piece and I am using the Illumina light. Nope these stone coats new Super cure and because that has a like No time working time not really no time. It's it's just quite short at about 20 minutes and It's a really thick resin, especially if your atmosphere is on the colder side So If it's cold where you are you have to kind of preheat it a little bit and when you do that you cut in your working time some so the 20 minute Initial working time is even further decreased So I went ahead and pre-mixed up my resin in my I still use damn mixer, but you can still see there's like a Little bit that hasn't been fully combined and that is because The mixer doesn't mix on the sides. So we got a hand. Do that. What's up you guys? Hi Bonnie Nancy to I Always feel like I haven't seen you in forever toots even if you were here yesterday Y'all I love Let me some toots and if you don't know tutor his actual government grown-up job name is Chris Ochoa, and he is a super talented artist Hopefully he'll Start posting his work more. All right. I think we got this fully Mixed up Now like I said, this is a quick curing epoxy So I need to get it into these a little cups as soon as possible and then even Out of these a little cups super as soon as possible and Of course, I made it extra difficult on myself today and picked like 42 colors to work with so We're moving really fast This beautiful sparkle that I have in this cup right now is the teal luster from color passion I Wanted just a little bit of sparkle and so I'm adding that as the sparkle so I won't be able to read What you guys are saying until I Get most everything done on this so I will be leaning heavily on the mods for this Video thank you in advance to the mods Okay, what I'm gonna do before I even start mixing resin is I'm gonna pour out my shoreline I am pouring on one of our Framed cradle boards and I have a little bit left because you never know if you need any a little bit extra of something So I'm gonna mix up some round aqua. This is from color passion. It is a no shimmer no sparkle, but beautiful Creamy paste that is in an aqua color and since it is one of my best friends Ronda's Favorite color. We decided to name it round aqua and I super love it Ah, okay Next I'm gonna mix up some old gold. I'm a so on the I don't even know why I do this to myself Because I'm a glutton for punishment Guess I just like a challenge this much so I started mixing my resin 10 minutes before we went live So I'm gonna show you just what the luster looks like in here without Any of the other color I'm gonna add into it? Well, I thought I was but it is mostly stuck to the bottom All right, I'm just gonna have to show you on the piece because we are on the lock So this is the turquoise deltent from color passion is a really nice translucent Oh, there's some of the sparkle coming up See that nice aqua sparkle. I'm using it kind of like when I do the abalone shell or the Milky Way in my resin, but It's got a little bit of a color to it. I'm using my top-cell white as titanium and of course, I'm getting it everywhere because I'm awesome at that Because I preheated my resin I don't know if it's warm right now because of the preheating or because it's starting to set But I'm definitely very much on the clock right now I'm gonna make some Sand using interference gold From resin art and some interference oyster. I I know I don't usually Don't usually sand but today I guess I decided to even further challenge myself and sand so the oyster is a nice pearl color and the interference gold is a Gold interference color and together I'm hoping they make me this color Nice platinum white sand looking Beachy beach. Okay. I am also gonna mix up some base cell white To see if we can get some bigger cells on this Bigger Board that's a little bit too much face that there's nothing I knew about that now. I'm just hoping this doesn't I don't know it doesn't just flash cure like that other ocean that I did Okay, this one is the base cell white I'm putting it on the left. I Know I'm gonna forget so you all know Okay Faces on left based on left and the last color I'm mixing up is deep turquoise from color passion I just want to have a dark ocean color and I haven't used this one in a while. So That's what we're gonna do It is a very deep moody greeny color I don't know how much I'm gonna use of it, but we'll find out together Okay So let's start by not doing the sand that we last I'm gonna start by doing my sure color which will be the gel tint I'm gonna go ahead and put the rest of my Clear in this gel tint cup Because I know I'm gonna want more Translucence always my oceans have a translucent or clear or see-through quality to it because I mean In my world water is clear all water that I'm getting into I'm gonna be able to see through it a little bit and so My oceans are clear now. I added an extra pump of color into this cup so I can get a little bit of a deeper hue And that's something that's really fun about working with the the tints Just adding a little bit of the round off with through Little bit of the gold through My goodness if this sets up on me again, I'm going to feel like a complete failure Because you would think I would know better at this point, right? But no Glutton punishment welcome here Okay, I've got a little bit more gold I want the gold to kind of like breathe up through and have also patches of the rondaca as well I know it doesn't look like anything right now, but just trust me It'll be amazing. Okay, so I'm putting the base cell white touching my clear and this clear is acting as a buffer between My ocean colors and my wave colors. I don't want my wave to be too thick Because then It'll cover all the awesome blues that we're adding now I'm adding the top cell white right on the outside on the sand side of My base cell white and so I will have white cells over White cells in theory. I don't know we're going to find out if it even works because I have let this set For arguably way too long Okay, so right now I'm just moving The resin around I should probably go ahead and heat it Oh, okay. I'm not going to be plugged in perfect So I'm just moving the resin around in order to Cover everything up ultimately, I just don't want any of the raw board visible And I'm not really worried about the frame right now the outside areas Because I'll be covering that In post My goodness. I hope I have enough resin to reach across this thing Switching gloves. I had too much white on the other ones and I didn't want to cloud out my water I'm just going to go ahead and put the rest of this rondacoa in here Just to make sure that I can Completely cover everything. I started with 20 ounces and this is a 24 inch board. Okay So I'm just filling it in just filling it in Doesn't matter what it looks like It's all going to change as soon as we start manipulating our waves And so I'm hitting with a little bit of heat just to thin it up a little bit Because heat will Um change the viscosity of your resin it'll thin it out. It's how much easier it moves now Downside to that is it's going to mix my colors a little bit and you have thinner resin It's going to affect how your colors interact with each other. So just Be advised of that This is going to be very moody. See that was not my intention when I started But because time we do what you got to do And let that be a lesson also I think Jeff's home Um, this is not a beginner epoxy It's a challenge for even the most Well-versed resin artist It's not on the market yet, but I know it's going to be super popular when it does drop You got everything covered. So now I can heat it. We can start manipulating it And then hopefully my sand won't be set up by then So I'm using my platypus attachment. I don't have this listed in the colors below the video, but I have I mean in the description box below the video, but I have all of the colors listed Below the video You can see how it's not really moving that much. You can still see kind of the textures and the waves that are just Holden in there I just want more gold. I don't know All right, so I'm going to put my board on a tilt Maybe a 45 degree angle Knocking everything over but that is okay And I'm going to work at about a a third of the piece at a time So I'm working this area right now preheating right in front of my wave And now I'm just going to catch a little bit of movement and move on immediately You don't want to scorch your resin and it's going to be really easy to do Really easy to do with this This amount of heat that we're using Oh, it's starting to Kind of mushroom cloud at the ends of my waves and that is because I'm putting really hot resin into not as hot of resin I didn't preheat the whole thing enough, but it wouldn't have really mattered because The resin's kind of later in the curing process We're going to make this work though Mark my words So now I'm just pushing the white down. I don't want all of my white to be concentrated on this on the um The front of the piece I want it to be pushed back And so I'm helping it along Back here where I'm getting all of the this is what I mean by mushroom clouds Booger so to avoid getting mushroom clouds. You really have to have a consistent temperature across your piece Which would not be what I did today So I'm just stretching out this color a bit I thought it would glide over the resin I thought my white wave would glide over The rest of the resin the colors Um better It is not It's kind of just pushing it all back So he says hello So i'm just going to work The darker color forward So it's not really um Oh My sand is solid now Um, so i'm working this color forward So it's not such a stark contrast. You know what I mean? jelly beans using this concentrator tool this um Plated plus attachment is really helpful when you're working On pieces like this where you have to move mass quantities of resin at a time Because it's concentrating all your air into one area And you can better manipulate it that way. Ooh my white's not set yet. Okay So i'm just edging up my front line Because I just do that So it's a rigid white I guess crash zone I need my torch a I really want to Do something with these Very angry looking Cells i'm not sure what happened I I may have just used a little bit too much heat with these cells So i'm going to see if I can torch and tilt to break them up and create Pockets of cells where they aren't This is a very nerve-wracking process to do if you've never done Any like last minute Cell editing with a torch I'm going to do it just right in here so you guys can see up close what i'm trying to do So this is the flame of my torch, right? The color part. I'm not letting it hit the resin. I'm using this out here. You can't even see anymore flame It's really easy to scorch your resin with a torch. Well, you can scorch your resin with any heat source, but with a torch It's really easy So always use the indirect heat. All right, so i'm going to tilt it just a little bit and i'm just dabbing That area that doesn't have color to it In different areas where I want pockets of cells to come up And ultimately what i'm doing is thinning the resin That's on top And it's just dispersing over the cooler resin that's under it You don't want to leave the heat on for any amount of time. You are literally dab and go because You really need to let your resin cool down in between little touches So that you don't scorch your resin Scorching your resin is probably one of the most devastating things. It looks so bad It looks like an elephant's kneecap if I may No judgment to elephants I'm a fan of elephants Uh, yes, definitely be in a well ventilated area wear respirator when doing this Because should you scorch your resin you don't need to breathe that in even if your resin is a low or no viscosity epoxy If you scorch it I know what happened. I put too much of the base cell in my resin. That's what that is Let that be a lesson Remember I said I put too much in there That's what happens. I used to get this look all the time with the stonecoats Uh this and that I don't know if you guys were around for this and that Uh base paste or base tints however they call them But if you use too much of that it would do this as well You can see where I'm touching with my torch little cells popping up That way we don't just have solid breaks of color Or I guess solid breaks of white Where cells should live as soon as you see the resin kind of disperse outward pull back You are close to scorch territory All right, I think that'll be good This will definitely be a first layer because While I'm not mad Y'all this is solid I'm not mad at the piece But I could be happier with it I'm going to take you guys down and show you What we look like Okay Here's the piece as a whole Not bad Not my greatest I definitely Dad's home So this is from using too much of the base tints. I don't think they heard So because the resin was more further in the curing process and I didn't heat it enough I got these mushroom clouds. So to avoid doing mushroom clouds or these fingers Make sure you heat in front of whatever it is you're pushing outward And these torch cells will grow As itself levels. Oh a hair super Uh, but they won't end up being this big. That's just Something that you get from the base cells Where's my kicker outer? Okay Are you going to Interrupt my wave, but it is what it is So I'll have to hit that with some heat But I'll do that in a minute What I really like is that I did put a little bit of the gold throughout the piece and when I pushed everything outward um This gold pushed with it and so it kind of Gave a little bit of a crashing sparkly Almost geodesk line Especially right here. Do you see a geode here? Maybe malachite geode that pretty Um sparkle right there is the tealuster from color of passion That's what the cells should have looked like That's because of the rondakwa These are because I put too much Base cell white in my white. Okay so Questions do you guys have any questions? Where can I see all the processing video? Ricky this will be available to rewatch After the live raps you'll be able to You'll be able to see it This white and that black haven't heard that in a long time right Stephanie Do you learn color theory as you do new pieces? I learned something new every time I do a piece I do have a college degree in arts uh, it is not in resin I don't even know any of the probably is A concentration in resin now, but Not when I was in school um, my concentration in art was actually in ceramics, so I have Pottery wheel in my studio as well I do a bunch of ceramics and um I actually teach color theory classes I know aren't the gold highlights cool. I actually decided to do that one day because tutor implored me to do it and now um, it's something I like to try to throw in to a lot of my Pieces what I super love is like right here where that translucent turquoise from color passion is rolling over the gold and so That movement is just so fun that Whoop with the curl Let's see those thumbs Exactly I'm gonna do a big piece. That's just like this. I guess I could do a design piece where I just let the piece cure I basically mix entirely too much for the amount of space I'm going to create on and kind of use the thickening And quick cure of this epoxy to my advantage and so I could make Because essentially what this is all of this back here is is um The design that I kind of just haphazardly put in just the lines are crunching together and Manipulating themselves at different speeds. So this had a lot more heat to it So it's more forward than this right here This is more forward because I worked on this piece for so long So I can time out how much heat I add to kind of control the movement and the compression of the lines In theory you wouldn't have a whole lot of time to do that though What is the best top cell paste and best thin viscosity resin? On the low cost side. So when you are talking about price As it relates to value It's it's really tricky because With epoxy you really get what you pay for um For example the art coat a two gallon of art coat is like 200 something dollars But um It's UV resistance and viscosity and no VOC's and it's heat resistant to 500 Fahrenheit and it's got really great durability um That kind of makes it worth the spend um, if you want something that's way more cost effective and um You're not working with whites or need the durability of an art coat. You could do craft coats It is also by stone coat and it is Markably cheaper because it doesn't have the UV resistance That art coat does so it's it's a lot more budget friendly but you have to Keep in mind that you don't want to use a craft epoxy um with light colors because it will amber really quickly Uh, we used to use in biotechs light which you can get at your hobby stores That's a a good one to start with if you want to start with something that's local Do a lot of mold and use a lot So you're going to need a casting epoxy and unfortunately casting epoxies are quite pricey because they have to Do a whole bunch of science Ultimately when you thin an epoxy a lot of times that makes it more susceptible to amber ring and yellowing and so Casting epoxies often will amber really quickly Especially if you don't pour to the standards on the bottle Just be careful with Casting epoxies, but they are the thinner resins. They're usually a two to one which is not good for my non math brain I really wish I hadn't put so much paste in there. They would have turned out like these cells And how gorge how gorgeous are these? That's what it should look like but with white sand less learned I will not mix up 20 ounces of quick care at one time. I will not mix up 20 ounces of quick care at one time um I don't I've never heard of j-diction three times uv resistant resin. Um if you send me Some if you send me a link to it, I can read up on it and let you know So this paste is because of the color passion paste color passion paste always give me larger cells so The white I used was color passion top cell and the blues that I used were color passion as well And they always give me really rigid cells um Just make sure you don't overheat them once you do the piece and you set it down Basically right before I started torching little areas Let it relax for a minute. I couldn't because I'm on a time crunch but if you let it relax for a minute then um It'll start doing its own cells a lot of times what people mess up on when they they try to make these cells Is that they heat it and till they get this look And you'll thin your resin out way too much for these cells to hold together because it's it's dispersing right And if you heat it too much they can't hold and so they'll basically pop They'll just stretch till they can't hold on to the other side anymore and so Just be careful with how much heat you add If you want to get bigger cells like this you need to use color passion base cell and Put a top cell over it and don't use too much heat. That's the key. It's easy it I promise you you can do it. Don't use too much heat use a base cell and a top cell A be same Hi, Lisa. I used to have a glow in the dark ocean. It had a mermaid behind it. Uh, but I think I sold it So, yeah This piece is no longer moving And so this will be how it cures. This will be the finished end results And I'm not mad at it. Um, I am going to do a second wave. I'll probably do that tomorrow So I'll bring a wave in probably to here and just do a second layer after it's already cured because I mean, these are fun and all but it's not what I was looking for I was looking for my standard of waves like these And if you want to see how this one was made I did it on this channel Just a couple of days ago This was with the kit I did this one with the turquoise kit From color passion. That's all color passion paste Yeah, I love it when it's luminescent when The cells kind of focus When there's like a back glow of what's under the cells particularly if you can get the these line These outline cells like this You turn the flash off just so you can see I'm talking about I don't know if you can notice since I turned the light off, but there's a dark ring on the inside of these cells Because of how I laid out the color And you can see the full process video on this one on this channel just um It was this past week Can we call it an underglow? I guess we can call it an underglow I am always happy to help you out if you have questions about products, whether I carry them or not Um, just let me know send me a message. I don't always get to them right away because I have to do 120 tumblers and I have to finish this birch tree commish, but Shoot me a message. I'll get to it As quickly as I can Eden. What is that? What is what? Which what? ocean pours today's piece Red birch commission I'm in a row that I need to really Work on ceramics And tumblers Hello, missy so, yeah the first one Um, this is a notion This is a notion. These are paintings I haven't cleaned up the backs of the mat, but they hang just like a regular canvas does on the wall This is our cradle boards You can get these as well as all the colors I mentioned today on our website artistilldeath.com Love the ways this is a way of design. Thank you C level gallery I know you know what you're talking about does a resin bottle last a few pieces or empties quickly So it really depends on how many pieces you do Typical and the designs that you do so for this one This is a 24 inch board and I mixed 18 ounces maybe 19 ounces um And I used up pretty much all of it except for I know I didn't because my sand didn't make it so about four ounces Five ounces didn't get used probably And So if you do pieces bigger, then you'll go through the resin more quickly Typically use three to six ounces per square foot Thank you missy If you guys ever see anything on my channel that you want to purchase shoot me a message Everything is always for sale except for commission work. Obviously Those that are taken but I definitely Um have quarterly Sales of all the artwork and so I need to do one soon I have a lot of art laying around And then my birch trees I need to detail out The the ones in the back but Thank you maria Am I able to get a painting for free? Unfortunately, I pay my bills from my artwork and so I can't really Give away paintings for free, but I do do giveaways on my channel From time to time So maybe we'll do a painting giveaway This is a marble piece that I did for a client sample If you're into natural finishes with epoxy we do that as well Thanks, Janelle Can you do my front cover like what I look like? I have no idea But you can send me a message on our website artistsilldeath.com And I'll take a look So our website is artistsilldeath.com same as our channel name And you can find all the colors that we use today on our website. We use Face cell white from color passion deep turquoise color passion Did not get you to use the interference oyster or the interference gold. Whoops Color passion turquoise gel color passion rondakwa Old gold from color passion and just resin Top cell white and teal luster from color passion. I have all those linked down in the description box below this video Anyways, thank you guys for watching. If you haven't subscribed, please do so And always remember to be kind to one another Because you never know what someone's going through You sure can tell when vamp isn't in the shadows. Oh girl. I know but she's busy with her puppy How much research did you do before you started a resin art career business? So I did not do that much. Well, okay So I watched someone do acrylic pours and I tried to do them And I couldn't my acrylic pours are horrible And so Yeah, I it was horrible and then I realized you could just put paint and resin and so I started asking people if they could help me um Learn resin and nobody would help. I asked about 20 different artists And none of them Would assist so I said fine I will learn it myself and teach everybody everything full free and that is what I do And so my research is basically me working with it every day Thank you cat lover Do you ever use resin art colors by color art? You know, I absolutely do. I carry resin art colors in my shop um they're really Really beautiful colors and um, we'll be carrying her new color drop soon too Can you paint my profile picture your profile picture is an m Thank you. Thank you guys. Um, if you I painted everything in my shop Except for her Um, but yeah, we paint a lot of things And I do ceramics as well So, yeah Thank you. Janelle. Just shoot me shoot me a message if you ever have, uh any questions I have a Contact form on my website. I'm the only one that works my shop which includes my paint and my videos and my Website and my email. So if you message me, I will be sure to get it right away Okay Thank you cinema roll. What's her name? Um, my name is Erica Cat lover your mommy should do resin art all college money um I don't know what the question is But feel free to leave me your questions that I missed down in the description box under this video Nope the comment section under this video And I'll see you guys tomorrow at 6 p.m. Central where we will be live again today Thank you so much Donna so Um, I hope you guys had an amazing day You kind of want another could you never know what someone's going through and I always remember that we do the test So you don't have to almost see you guys in the next video. Bye What's up Christy?
