 You guys to see It's better. So what's up everyone. Hope we're having an awesome today. Turns out it's Tuesday and it's two o'clock. So We're live doing work. Today I'm going to be doing Kind of a resin finish. I had A resin finish like a countertop finish. I had someone call me today asking about Like a moody marble color to go along with his very dark blue Cabinets in his kitchen. No The call I took this morning and so I'm going to do my best to create a finish that would look good in this man's house. He didn't I'm I'm not hired to do the project, but I do get called often to come up with Color palette color schemes. My goodness. Okay, this thing will turn off but It's annoying me over there. So We'll be using my Better for the environment wipes. I don't know where my big reusable Bucket is but the whites are the same So Let's start talking about Colors man that cover image. I wonder if I can change that. Nope Beautiful anyways The colors I'm going to be using today are shooting star or milky bit Milky Way by resin art Darken stormy. I Don't know right here Darken stormy from color passion Oyster satin from resin art silver gray from just resin top-cell white By color passion interference blue and then a floating silver Arguably is way too many colors for me to use in one piece But we're gonna roll with it I Hope you've all had an awesome day. Thank you all for joining me if you're new here. Hi. Hello. What's up? I'm Erica. I'm the one in the horrible cover image which I'll be changing as soon as I post the video and And We do art every day We try to do live artwork every day It's not always resin, but it's always a good time and we're so excited to have you guys here So let's get arty So I'm only gonna mix up the amount of color that I I feel like I want represented in the piece And usually I do this off-camera But I know I want a little bit more of this a little bit more of this JK I don't want more of that. I want more of this this this For my actual color any dark color I want Less so I always Mix up a smaller quantity. I feel like if you mix up more than what you're gonna need you're gonna feel pressure to use it and I don't want you guys to feel the pressure With the kind of marble that I'm gonna be doing today. It's very minimal in terms of The colors that Aren't Sort of white And in fact, I'm gonna be doing two whites. I'm gonna be doing an opaque white and then a skin milk Type of white so I'm gonna need a Little this and a big this and oyster There's a little bit left in my cup probably less than an ounce, but Okay, let's start with the interference blue so interfere Interference blue is a color that some people get mixed up with a Chameleon, but it's not a chameleon. It's just a pigment that shines blue under certain lights Like where a reflection would hit it. It's gonna present as blue I don't want this to be opaque. I just wanted to have a blue sheen So I used not that much but you can see where it kind of has splatted out That blue Sheen that's in it. I think interferences are really good to add a pop of something. That's like Wait, what was that? Did I just see that? so I Can still see all the way through My resin down to the stir stick but where the light hits it. It's shining blue If I were to add too much of the interference blue it would turn into a cloudy milky white and The blue wouldn't be as awesome Hello D. Chrissy JJ Paula Shannon Julie. Thank you guys for showing up with me today You have any questions, just let me know I'm always happy to help All right, I'm gonna put that aside. This is Milky Way or shooting star It looks like wet coffee grounds a little bit and it looks like it's gonna stay a chunky consistency in the resin But it's not I promise you so just like with the interference blue We're not gonna use that much because if you use too much it'll make it opaque and I really want to Not have it be opaque Stone Coat, what's up? I was just telling everybody I had someone call me asking questions on What they should use for a color palette to match a picture of their countertops that they sent me and I'm doing a color test for them because I love to do color matching for people Big Mitch love to see you guys Okay And thanks for using our colors the other day on your last live so I'm gonna use minute amount of This top-cell whites in my big cup Slightly more than minute this much of minute and I'm doing that because I want this to be a translucent or a see-through kind I'm trying for frosted or Like skim milk, so I want to be able to see the stick through the resin But still have that haze and then I'm going to mix up just a little bit for my opaque white Sorry, I get lost in words sometimes so I'm gonna use essentially the same amount of pigment But in this little cup because I want it to be Opaque and opaque is when you cannot see through Your color to Whatever's behind it. So when we're doing a test to see if this is opaque I'm just gonna hold up my stir stick and see if I can see the brown which you cannot so we have an opaque color Next color when I mix up is called silver gray. It's kind of a kind of blue bluish Taupe that makes sense and I want this to be opaque, but we're not going to use that much of it. So we put it in one of the smaller Cups now. This doesn't look like it would be that dark of a shade, but trust me once it's in the piece It's very noticeable when you have Basically all whites and creams and then you drop this in it's very noticeable So the next color I'm going to do is interference oyster pearl and I really like this color because it's a very satin Pearl I mean, it's oyster pearl satin. So that makes sense. I always forget when I'm mixing a Powder not to just go ham and start mixing it really fast right away because then you get that puff of Micah in your face, which is one reason why I really really love pastes There's many reasons. That's just one of them So this is super beautiful Hurley oyster you can make it more opaque by adding More pigments, but I'm not going full opaque. I like to have translucent in my Colors and my pieces because it shows more depth and more depth is how you get realistic finishes You're ready to do a River table class be a zoom remotely in your own shop following along with me or fly out to Oregon tech or Texas for an in-person River table class personally I'm doing in person Okay, and this is the color that I feel like a little bit is Is Represented in the person I think Michael Called me today And I think this is it's a little bit more green than what is Cabinets are But we're not gonna use that much of it. I'm just using it as a deep pop of color It's like a moody dark teal. I think Mitch would really like this color You kind of see it on this edge here love it. Hey Evelyn Okay, let's get started. So here lately I've been really big into underpainting with my pigments and So what I'm gonna do is under paint a little bit with Some of these colors But I've forgotten to lift my cradle board Okay, so first I'm gonna just kind of rough Draw in some lines And then I'm gonna do some white as well. I'm using the opaque white This is one of those processes where You just have to trust Trust the process So now I'm going to use some milk you a if you are used to diamond dust from Stone Coat. It's similar And I'm gonna do some of the interference blue some of my pearl I'm going over the subtle lines that I already put in and what I'm trying to do ultimately is create a background painting for the Dirty poor or exotic poor lines that I'm gonna put in in just a second So I'm just going to skim my hand over the piece and just make sure that there's no Dry areas left and because I use translucent and transparent you can see the Underpainting that we did with the resin For me under painting is one of the best ways to create depth and shadow and shading Without I guess kind of going too far with it because sometimes you can definitely Take color too far, especially if you're doing a marble piece. It's very easy to add too much of a color And unfortunately when you do that it's very hard to take that back I'm not trying to blend everything in that I have down. I'm just covering all of the dry canvas And Taking hair out because apparently I'm shedding awesome. So we have very thin skim coat down You guys can't see the interference right now But you will be able to see when when I get everything down I'll give you guys a close-up Chris. Do you want to start doing countertops? You've been doing practice boards, but you're really wondering what would be To start out charging honestly it really depends on your area your markets and What kind of finish that they're looking for because if I were to do a solid color it would cost less than doing sorry y'all cost less than doing a whole bunch of Design elements like a marble like this They're just be cautious of that So I'm going to create a dirty pour or an exotic pour. I'm putting my translucent white in And I'm going to just jump in there with this dark and stormy from color passion. I'm just giving a swizzle right this is swizzle We're going to call that a unit of measure When you're doing a dirty pour or an exotic pour It's really important to get your colors in to your cup and then back out as quickly as possible Because the longer they have in here to kind of hang out and talk to each other The more you're going to get kind of a sporadic or crazy Pattern Swizzle of the silver gray and that's all of the Kind of darker colors that I'm going to add And now I'm just layering Everything else that I've got the milky way the satin oyster The translucent white the opaque white Did I say interference blue because that's in there? Just layering them all Then once you have everything layered I I Give just a good swirl for good measure and that's just so that when you first pour it out It's not just the boring top color that you put in I didn't mix it. I swirled it so different so now I'm going to lay this dirty pour out in Whatever fashion I feel like I want to go Currently it looks like this It's going to be so nice since I have already a Layer of resin down before I did my dirty or exotic pours my Pour my dirty pour and my Underpainting are just going to start to level out on their own if I were to have done that the dirty pour or exotic pour on a dry Surface or one that just doesn't have any resin It just it wouldn't level like I want it to it would start to roll over itself as it's trying to get out of Being such a high pour because Generally, resin is going to pour out at like a quarter inch, but it's going to try to self level at an eighth inch. So if you help it do that, you're going to waste less product in my opinion. Alright, now I'm going to just add lines of The rest of the resin that I have So I'm adding some of the translucent white in the areas where I feel like I need to brighten it. I probably won't add any Words are hard. Any of the silver gray or the dark and stormy But I might you never know. Everybody has their own way of doing marble their own way of doing resin. Mitch is a very talented Reson artist Let's don't go very blessed to have so many talented friends around me. I think it's important to have a bunch of talented people around you. Because if you're the most talented person in the room. You need to switch rooms. That's just my opinion. Nice line of this interference blue is going to look great. The interference blue shine in. The only thing Is where I want to put it initially was right through here, but you don't want to have something that's Too different run right through the center of your piece. So this is the most bold dirty poor It was the first pour out, I think, but it's off center. If that would have come out right here. I would have tilted it to shift where The most obvious vein is vein 34. You know what I mean, lots of color simple design. I love it. I think it's important to have simple elegant designs, at least as an option for your clients, I say that but I always have an element of sparkle in my pieces, whether they're a countertop or An art piece. I'm trying to decide if I want to add some lines of the gray. You can see the gray kind of peeking through in some areas, some slashes of the dark and stormy coming through. What do you guys think should I add More of the silver gray while we're deciding. I'm going to add some lines of the opaque white I like having stark opaque white lines and because I'm using a heavy white and I use so many translucent. What's going to happen is this white is going to sink through my translucent colors. And once I tilt it, it's going to create like a shifted shadow. It's just a super easy way to create depth, which I'm all about easy ways of creating depth. I'm just following along some of the dirty poor lines to do this walk away. Alright, I always trust y'all judgment. Alright, I'm gonna head with some heat. We're going to tilt it. Then if you guys let me. I'm going to add some floating silver, which I think is going to add a lot of pizzazz to the piece. In my opinion. So I'm just trying to pop the bubbles. I'm not trying to create movement. So that's why I'm using a chef's torch and not a big huge one or a something. What's the word he gun. Also, when I pick that up. I dropped a couple of It's a trash. So I'm going to try to pick them up. If not, I'm just going to tap them and push them down into the resin. Sometimes it happens that things fall in your piece. And sometimes you can't get them out. Maybe you don't have tweezers. I don't have one handy, but you can just push them into your resin Just a little pro tip because if it's under some of your opaque colors, you're not going to see it. And if it's under your translucent colors is just going to create more depth With resin, you just have to go with the flow. You have to roll with the punches and just know that it's okay Alright, so I'm just going to put it on a slight tilt If you're doing a countertop And you're doing a porn place. This may not always be possible, but the bright side of that is if you're doing a porn place Odds are it's not perfectly level anyway. So inherently you're just going to you're going to get a shift anyways Tilting is one of my favorite ways to make all of the lines I put down look not so sporadic and kind of just make it a little bit more cohesive My goodness, these colors are rolling over themselves and they look so great. Let me take my gloves off and I'll give you a better view So that looks like straight up shadow, but it's just that opaque white rolling over some of that gray. It looks like it's straight up has a shadow See how it sank and then stretched as I tilted it this way. That's the oyster. That's that that color right there in the light. Then this is Milky Way This is a dry spot. Don't mind that. And so all of these ribbons and veins are lapping over each other and that to me not being like in masonry or any of the awesome Things that like Mitch is into I don't know all the things but I do know I know color And what I think looks good. That's not always accurate, but in my head it looks good. Yeah, the stormy colors are underneath and they're popping through in different areas In a so random pattern as my RK three friends like to say so I'm taking some of my floating silver and I'm pouring it out into the back paper cup and I'm doing this specifically because I need the propellant to work its way out I need the propellant to work its way out. So you can see that bright yellow haze around it right now. That's propellant. That's what makes an aerosol like a spray paint Not dry in the can. So I do spray it the propellant will evaporate And it just leaves your paint behind but if you don't work out the propellant Then you're not going to have that much control over your line the propellant is going to keep your Your floating silver or your floating gold or whatever color maybe it's going to keep it fluid and it's going to keep it fluid until it dries on your surface and as it dries it's going to crack so as it blooms It's going to crack and it's not going to be your favorite thing but maybe it is your favorite thing who knows and if it is I love that for you, but I want to be able to control The thickness of the veins that I put in this piece. So I'm going to soak out as much of the propellant as I can without it fully drying up And so I always do a roadside test to see if it's going to bloom And if it doesn't then I move on to the piece and if it does then I just Stir this around a little bit more. Also the reason why I'm in the back of the cup instead of the inside of this little Dixie cup is because most Dixie cup are wax wax line So that your mouthwash whatever you're putting in these cups doesn't soak into the paper But I want the propellant to soak into the paper, but they don't coat the bottom of these cups. So Bottom of the cup All right that bloomed a little bit. So I'm just gonna do a little bit more of this and as I stir it You can see where the silver splits right here Right here That's propellant and it'll soak down All the way down this cup if I let it go. Clara. How are you doing? All right, we're gonna go on with it. You ready? I'm ready. Are you ready? I'm not ready. I don't know where I'm doing this Okay, wait. Okay. Let's start on the side I like to start kind of in an inconspicuous area and then if I don't like it I can just Scrape it off and start over So this is also going to be giving me kind of the dark The dark accent my eye. I think I was looking for when I was asking if I should add more of the silver gray and this floating silver It's gonna it's it literally just floats on the surface It should be the last thing you do after you have heated your resin Done all your tilting and manipulating Because this isn't going to It's not going to do anything Pretty if you try to manipulate it after it dries on your surface. It's just going to crack And it's not going to look fun Hope you're feeling okay today Clara Wait till you see what this floating silver looks like you guys are going to absolutely Love it If you guys do decide to use this floating anything that I have on my website Then just be sure If you you're going to stand to do a flood coat just try to avoid The areas that have this floating silver on it because it's It's surface. So if you try to sand it it's going to stand right off those be advised Feel like I don't want to go right through the center, but it needs something so I'm just gonna just add a something I'm good with it. So Okay, you guys down and see what you think Floating silver floating silver What's up? What's up? What's up everybody? I think that floating silver adds just a touch of something Just magical In my opinion I love it What do you guys think they should add anything Take away anything Also keep in mind that this is going to change and shift a little bit as it's Curing and self-leveling it's gonna do more things. So never really Unless you're really good about keeping your everything level and Pour it out at an eighth inch. It's going to move. It's going to change. It's gonna do something and Can't really control it So you just have to look forward to Like a nice surprise essentially once it's Done well, thank you so much That's a sweet of you Anytime you guys tip us through a channel. It means so much to us. I can't even tell you Means the world. Oh, thank you Laurie. I think it's super subtle I think it'll go good in Michael's space I am going to recommend him to add a little bit more blue to the dark and stormy because it's giving a little bit more green When it's combined with all of these light colors, so so yeah Think Think we're good Do you guys have any questions comments concerns? This was yesterday if you guys want to go back and watch I like subdued look too. I think I have it off kilter me When I'm experimenting with something I want to get y'all's idea thoughts on let me just take this to the dust-free zone Okay, so the thing I need your guys is Thoughts on I did this piece the other day on a live and then I decided I wanted to try to make black Bubbles my seafoam. I tried to dye it black Didn't really work like I wanted it to but it doesn't look horrible either it looks a little bit more Halloweeny than I Imagined it would in my head. They all of my bubbles would look like these but I think I just layered them on too thick because it's Quite a pile, but I wanted them to look like this There's a lot of people like adding black lace to pieces So I think this is going to be a good thing to do. I just need to remember to lay them down thinner So I need to know if this looks just too weird Don't pay attention to the mound Pay attention to my these these edgy Bubbles that you can see all the way through these So essentially it'll look like this but be this And these so I'm gonna do a video on Sorry for all the movement I'm gonna do a video on my these Maybe not black because you can't really get to black with Mod Podge but I bet I could do a nice dark purple That would make sense One of them on the look like these Oh well All right, you guys, I hope you have an amazing Tuesday. Thank you so much for the contribution And for coming in and watching what I'm doing today. I will do a video on the these And I'm so glad you guys Speak my kind of English about the these What are you doing? You just letting me pet your tum-tum Um If you are interested in the colors that I used today, they are Color passion dark and stormy resin art interference blue resin art shooting star or macu a silver gray by just resin interference oyster from resin art And top cell white from color passion And there's my big boy Who told you be so cute? You're just gonna go back to sleep All right, you guys, I hope you have a stupendous rest of your day. I'll see you here tomorrow at Sixth central And I hope you have an awesome day be kind to one another because you never know what someone's going through Yeah, we do test so you don't have to you see you guys next time.
