 Hey guys, I'm just trying to find myself. I Still laugh at that every time I say it. It sells the weird like the weirdest thing all right, I Hope you all had a great weekend Let's open chat on the iPad. There we go. Hey Debbie Gonna mountain of stuff here on the table. All right, so before we get started if your picture is not clear Open up or tap on your Video if you're in a tablet like I am and there's three little dots on the upper right-hand corner tap on them and then Hit the little gear that says quality and hit 720p and Give it a minute and there you go and that should improve your picture quality Without hopefully screwing up anything else. She'll touch artists. Oh, hey, are you all this morning? so I Have all these things out because we should discuss the fact that I'm kind of galaxy crazy right now And that has to do with what we're gonna do this morning so these are From a video that hasn't aired yet because I haven't edited the video yet Partially because I'm gonna do something more than my standard speed it up and put music I'm going to actually do a voiceover And I've got some serious editing to do because I just let the camera kind of run while I was working on both of these projects And I don't remember. I think it was for the one that's underneath here But at one point the camera fell over because it was on the table over that way So I got some editing to do but anyway, so these are actually a pair of leggings that had a hole in them And I thought initially I was gonna just throw away. I thought well Oh Wait a minute So I repaired the hole and I show how to do that on camera and that clips gonna be removed and be by itself a sewing 101 and Then it'll also be attached to the rest of creating these leggings I took the deco art so soft fabric paint and did sort of the galaxy thing on these Leggings now when you use the so soft paint It is recommended that you let the paint cure for 48 to 72 hours Then wash them inside out the garment inside out and then dry it When I've used the so soft in the past I have not waited as long as you're supposed to because I my middle name is not patience and The colors fade Quite a bit not completely, but they do fade So part of this experiment is to see if they do that with this I this has been I did this on Friday So I'm going to let it go until tomorrow and then I'm gonna wash them I'm hoping I don't lose too much color because I really like the way they turned out and High from Canada my daughter is in with her boyfriend. They are in Toronto right now Now I use the same colors of so soft fabric paint on the leggings. Hey Lisa on these Journal covers, which we'll talk about in a minute. I actually did a large piece of denim and There's a particular way I do it When I'm working on fabric and I then I cut the denim up and I made these covers now I started out and the video is going to air on Friday. How exactly I did this one And I started out doing a plain canvas. This is the travelers notebook cover it's plain canvas and It has pockets on the inside on both sides and then after I Did this one I thought hmm Hmm, you know, I'd kind of like to that was when the galaxy thing started So then I painted the denim and then of course I had to do a galaxy one So I did three I Just did the inside in plain black And again, they have multiple pockets inside and there's video tutorials coming out for these And of course, I just you know kind of kept making them so I may put some of these for sale in Etsy. I'm not sure yet Yeah, they're having a great time. They're loving Canada So along those lines, I thought that we would work in this journal this morning and maybe do I have this idea to do a girl with maybe galaxy hair You know, I do that just sounds interesting to me. Good morning Regina So I have this journal and I've done different kind of like experimental things in there here this year I haven't actually done too much in this journal this year Just so you know really experimenting some left-handed art playing here I played with texture paste where I had Crush up lava rocks in gel medium So I thought we would turn the page here and we would do something with a face on this in this journal and This is a homemade journal and it's got 140 pound watercolor paper cold press and So I thought we would get started to have a little face tutorial Maybe I'm really like I said really wanting to do like galaxy hair or galaxy background I don't know but there has to be a galaxy in there somewhere because I'm just I don't know I'm on a galaxy kick So I've got a variety of brushes out Including me Americana decor One inch angle brush. I like this brush. It's really got really soft bristles. Hey Ann. Oh good. I'm so glad I Try to not always do them, you know, like first thing in the morning because that's not a great time for everybody So Monday at noon Okay, I'm gonna tilt this just a little bit just because I'm right-handed and I have a the one non Deco art product we're using this morning is a lira graphite crayon. This is a 2b you can get these I've seen them at the art supply store. I got mine on Amazon And I'm gonna use this to do our initial sketch of our face So the first thing I'm gonna do is draw the shape of our head There's little chunks of stuff falling off my crayon because I use this in wet paint. I don't pay any tension Don't care. It doesn't matter and then a neck if I don't want to do a floating head. Hey, oh Lori, yeah, I'm glad that none of you stream too much because I would be in big trouble You're not the only one who would get nothing done All right, so now Across the middle of the of the you know head right here, right is where the eyes should be I told you there's dried up stuff on my crayon. All right, so I'm gonna put two like Brackets like parentheses shapes, right? Frowny faces to frowny faces and Then about halfway between there in the bottom of the head we're gonna do a smiley little smiley face and Then halfway between there in the chin. We're gonna do another smaller smiley face Right that gives us our basic points where our facial features are gonna be now You could of course draw the lines on there to sketch it all out properly I'm not gonna do that today And I actually even have a class that you can buy and and I send you The link to download it where you create a face template drawing template and everything If you're new to drawing faces, you might want to do something like that so now I'm gonna put in the Iris is the colored part of the eye is called the iris and Then the pupil now none of these lines may stay I may adjust the sizes and the proportions This is just an initial basic sketch. I almost never draw the complete line underneath the eye I prefer to suggest it instead Then I draw two Curves here it kind of always reminds me of a yoke from a horse and oxen and will do the lips now I have to generally concentrate to have my girl not end up Frowny faced Because my girls end up generally Frowny faced and these are like I said, these are just basic marks These probably won't stay they're probably gonna get covered up with paint and stuff. So It's alright, and I do have a cough drop in my mouth. So Hopefully that doesn't bug you guys Well her eyebrows aren't exactly right, but like I said, this is a basic sketch It's not the best face I've ever drawn well, it's alright. It's not bad So we're gonna set that crane aside and now we get to mix some flesh tones We're gonna use Americana decor paints now. I do have a flesh tone. You can buy flesh tone paint Which is great But and I have white. Yeah, I want to see if we can use Craft paint like as an experiment as part of this To mix flesh tones And what kind of color we get what happens? I do have also burnt umber. We might need that and get out some neons I'm not gonna go too far with the paints because I know there's a lot more than I'm gonna need. All right, so let's see what happens So I'm gonna start with Red a red this happens to be a lizard crimson And this is true blue and I'm gonna get a brush. I like to brush mix. I'm a brush mixer So I'm gonna mix these together and I'll make a purple Craft paints can be challenging to mix and Get custom colors. They're not pigmented the same as your artist paints. So it's a really dark purple I'm gonna add a little bit of yellow to it not too much and see what happens. I think it's too blue See, this is what I mean. It's challenging I'm kind of getting paint on slinging paint on my page, but again, we're okay with that doesn't matter So this is what I mean. It could be really challenging to mix paint So if you can buy a flesh tone That's generally my preference because look at this. I've already used up a lot of paint All right, let's see. I just do a little bit over here. Let's see orange. This is what I mean This is why I don't usually mix Well, I almost never mix paint because I hate mixing paint. I Do it for you guys on camera. That's about it. So that's a nice dark It's a little bit blue, but it's not a bad flesh tone color But it's really dark So then what you want to do is just add white to it until you get it light enough That it's the right color for you And I usually tell people just match your own skin tone So when you lighten it, you see you start to get a nice skin tone color Now it's too dark for me and it's a little bit still too red for it to match my skin tone But you get the idea and we may use this color. So we're not gonna go too far with it I'm gonna leave this brush right here, and we're gonna use a different one. It's my rag rag. All right This is a large filbert brush And I'm gonna take the flesh tone Americana flesh tone, and I'm gonna just put it right on the page And I want to just give our girl a base I'm not worried about the hair right now because like I said, I'm not sure if we're gonna do galaxy hair or galaxy background I don't know yet. I Know a galaxy is gonna be in there somewhere iPad went off. Hang on. I forgot to turn off the auto lock. So we're gonna let this dry For a bit and we're gonna work on the background I'm going to switch to I think I'm gonna use the angled brush to start And I'm gonna grab some of this purple that we made and I'm gonna go, you know right into her hair and When I like when I do most galaxy things, I'm not gonna really wash my brush. I do need a different plate Okay, this is Indian turquoise those of you who know me know turquoise was gonna come in there somewhere So I generally start with When I do any galaxy on any Medium in any paint form. I usually start with The lighter and brighter colors and then work my way darker I don't generally clean my brush because that just gives me all kinds of other fun colors of paint to use in My galaxy and it doesn't really start to pop until you put the white stars in Looking at the colors that I have. What do I want to use? Scrub some of this color. What is this purple pizzazz? I will put all the color names in the description below that I've used I Know line them up over here after we're done with the broadcast This is a neon. This will be fun to put in there. I have a fondness for galaxies with purples and blues Those of you who know me are not surprised. I know Because you know and I just you just really stab it in and blend it with your fingers be abstract about it Maybe grab a baby wipe Don't worry about cleaning your brush blend with your fingers You of course could do it with other colorways. These are some of my favorite colors to use in galaxies I need black. I'm gonna start to pull some black in Now I'm gonna try not to get too much of the black onto the flesh tone. We've already laid down there Just because I don't want to have to go back and touch it up So I'm gonna get my paint close Hopefully without getting it on Face at all and you know I'm putting it on there and then I'm blending it out with my fingers this journal here is you know, this is the kind of Thing that's fun to do in your art journals and just experiment with and have fun You know if it doesn't exactly turn out the way you thought make some notes About how you would do a different next time and just use it as a place to do studies You all still there the chat got awful quiet I'm gonna rinse my brush off try to get most of that black off and then I'm gonna go back to my other colors Now one thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take a stipler Let's see little Cornell three-eighths inch stipler and this is a fun blending brush to do these kind of things It's got really short stiff bristles and So you can just kind of get in there and scrub with your Scrub your paint around Move it really move it around Don't worry about cleaning your brush off. I'm glad you're all still there. Yay. Okay Let me know if you have any questions It's just about creating layers and This using this kind of stipler brush will give you thin layers. So then you'll be able to see some of the other colors Now you could do this over the whole page and then put your face on top of it Um, but then you'll have to put a layer of like white gesso to like blank out The area where the face is so that the flesh tone colors will show up that was a lot of blue So let's put it in a couple more places and then just wipe our brush off over here That's a lot of blue oops That's right Maybe it needs to be there Now when I did the journal covers and the pants I started out with black fabric So when you start out with some a white base, it's a a little more challenging I think it's easier when you start out with a black base In my opinion, I think it's easier. Hey Cindy Glad you're back home We're of course doing galaxies again because you know I'm kind of galaxy crazy right now So whether you start with a white base or a black base, you can use your black paint To darken up those areas You don't want it to be all brightly colored And if you have a black base, maybe you put too much color on it You can use the black paint to kind of touch it up and bring some of that black back. I know I'm stuck on galaxies I don't know what to say. I am That's not wrong. So I'm gonna. Oh, that's the wrong color I'm gonna dip it into this dark purple just very lightly I have canvas on my tape work table so that I can just do this with it and wipe my brush off on the table Okay, so now We are going to take I think I'm just gonna use a paper towel and I'm going to just Do this because I don't want to get tons of white dots on her face. I Think that's good. And then we're gonna take some of the white And I'm gonna take a little cup. It's a little single-serve ice cream cup and I'm going to add some water to that and we are going to use a Fan brush here we go and I just put the water to make the paint a little thinner the consistency of like milk That's not what I wanted to do with a brush Okay, and just flick it on there Okay, I'm gonna take my baby wipe and I'm going to just gently wipe some of these dots that did Yet on her face where the paper towel wasn't off. I have a smaller stippler brush and I'm gonna take some of these larger Puddles of white that got on here move them around lend them out leave streaky wispy Almost like fog This is what will make your galaxy start to come to life If you get too much in one place you can always come back with your colors and adjust like right there That's too much Now of course you could do this with gel pen and be more precise about it If you're not a per kind of a person who can do the whole just Splatter paint. Let's see what happens thing and I understand that some people can't do that then you may want to Do it with a gel pen and be more controlled about it. I enjoy the challenge of Just working with whatever happens so just make your way around the page and Do the do the whole you know do the whole background Some of these may end up being covered up by her hair Some of these might end up being her hair, so we don't know yet. I think that's pretty good I'm really wanting to leave that so let's go back to working on her face I'm going to switch to a small filbert brush, so I have more control and I am Have some of the water down white and I've got enough colors out here. I think I can work with what I have So I'm gonna start with this kind of dark reddish flesh tone that we mixed kind of by accident and I'm going to use it in the parts of her face where there would be Shadow the parts that are farther from the viewer upper lip would be darker Be a shadow under the lower lip. There'd be a shadow under the chin I'm going to blend it a bit with the Regular flesh tone color. I do have a baby wipe in my hand So you can get in here really quick with a baby white and you can wipe stuff off You can move paint around and where of course we're using a acrylic paint So acrylic paint is all about layers of mark making right so The more layers the more interesting your piece is going to be I'm gonna take some of this flesh tone and mix it into the water down white I'm actually gonna pour some more in here. That's nice. That's gonna be a nice highlight color So we're gonna come in here so we're on the face and add the lighter colors to the parts of the face That would be lighter on this is just like I said, this is just one layer when I do faces There's usually a lot of layers of paint I should say when I do faces in acrylic, there's usually a lot of layers of paint One thing I do want to do is I want to take some of my white Before we get too far and I clean off my brush here pretty good And we are gonna paint the white part of the eye Otherwise known as the sclera and we're gonna actually just paint the whole eye white Give us a nice base for our eye And it can be drying while we're doing the rest of the eye Now your eyes don't have to be the exact same size, but you should try to get them close But your eyes if you look at your face are not the same Get a nice even base coat of paint on there for the eyes Then we hopefully don't have to go back and touch up later All right, now we can go back to work on our skin Switch to a bigger brush. What do I have over here? I like filbert brushes. They're my favorite brush Nice flat brush, but they have a rounded edge. So you don't get it's Super harsh line. You get a nice soft line So this is a really a thin coat of paint. So I can put it over the whole of her skin And all the darker shades are showing through This of course by no means means I'm done shading, but I'm just giving it a nice even coat I'm not using any fancy paints. These are deco art Americana craft paints You don't have to have fancy super fancy paints to do this They're nice to have don't get me wrong and I have plenty of them, but you don't have to have them It's not a requirement So this is the darker full strength flesh tone just on the tip of my brush I'm going to without cleaning the brush pick up some of the darker Just try to work in a small area at a time off the brush Use it to blend blend blend blend Like when you're putting on makeup, right? You don't want to walk out of the house with raccoon eyes You want to blend blend blend Okay, so back to the flesh tone and dip it in the darker rosy tone Now I'm not treating the galaxy background too preciously. Although I do like what we did near her face Because we're going to be putting giving her hair. We're not going to leave her bald So that means if I go over a little bit and outside of her face It's going to end up being fine because her hair is going to cover it So I'm not too concerned. Just a lighter flesh tone color in there. This is just white And it'll mix a little bit with the flesh tone colors of paint that are on there And we're going to work our way around the face working on shading our colors Blending them all into each other This is more blending than I generally do. Let's do the other eye before we get too far down Now because this is craft paint. It's pretty dry and I'm doing thin coats It's drying pretty quickly Which is good and bad So it depends on how comfortable you are with that you might like to Add some extender to it or some water to it because it might be drying too fast for you To be comfortable with I'm okay with it because I like to do layers of marks So I I'm okay with the fact that it's kind of drying pretty quickly And I'm just I'm using the very tip of my paint brush the very ends I'm not Pushing too hard on it. There's always one part of your face Whenever you're doing faces that doesn't come out the way you want it to when you Are working on it. It's there's always one part that just is a struggle to get look to look the way you want don't feel like You've done something wrong if that happens because it happens to everybody. I gotta tell you Sometimes it's the nose Sometimes it's the eyes Sometimes it's the lips it happens to everybody. I should probably switch to the smaller filbert brush because I Have more control So how detailed and how realistic you get is just totally up to you. I I Generally don't get too realistic. I mean it doesn't make me happy I have and I don't have the patience for it to be perfectly honest Too much realism makes me want to poke myself and I know somebody out there's laughing and they think that's funny And they probably think I'm not telling the truth, but I'm actually telling the truth I do a lot of scrubbing with my paint brushes when I'm doing faces Now if you do this, right, you won't have to go back and Add anything as far as like pen or pencil is concerned to your face to make the features stand out Of course, it's always an option and it's never a bad thing to do But you won't have to because you'll be able to tell it's a face because you've painted the features in and Shaded them correctly. Now the upper lips always darker than the lower lip It doesn't mean I want it to be black and right now. I'm just you know, we're just we're still using those flesh tones. I haven't Switched to anything else Not yet. It's coming. Okay. She's not bad All right, so I think I think the eyes are dry enough I'm really kind of wanting to give her purple eyes. So let's do that So I'm going to start with the dark purple that we have I'm going to paint in some circley shapes For the iris the colored part of the eye. Okay, I should probably go to a little more brush I had a little one out there. Oh, yeah, there it is Switch to a little brush. I'm going to alternate between my brighter purple and my darker duller purple and color in her eyes and That'll do a couple of things that'll color in her eyes, of course But it'll also bring some of those background galaxy colors into her face Which I think might be fun the outer rim of the colored part of the eye would be darker than the inner So if you're working on shading your irises keep that in mind and Of course like Everything else you can do this with marker rather than paint But challenge yourself to do it with paint. It's fun I think one eye is a little bigger than the other. Oh, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's see if we can fix that maybe I don't know. Maybe I'll leave it Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, let's see what we can do about that Hey me bear creations. Hello. All right, let me see. I'm gonna tilt this up a little bit. Let's see I'm adjusting her one eye for those that are just joining us Because one is much bigger than the other and while I don't mind if they're not the same size I Would like for them to be close. I Couldn't leave the idea of not doing a galaxy alone this morning again So I decided to do another galaxy But I thought we would do a face on a galaxy or a face with galaxy hair or something along those lines So that's what we're working on and it bonus you guys are giving a little face tutorial So that's not a bad thing. I don't think For those that don't know how to do faces or that are new at doing faces Again, there is a page on my website called the classroom and there are lessons there for doing faces I'm gonna put her pupils in because right now she's looking a little bit like an alien Okay, that's not bad I'm gonna take my small round brush and I'm gonna put some black paint on it And then I'm just rolling it off on the edge of the paint. I mean the edge of the plate and I'm going to barely touch it to the face and Follow along along the upper lid and then pull it as I'm pulling it out. I'm gonna lift it up We're giving her the suggestion of eyelashes and thank you so much Touch it down. Remember. We're using acrylic paint. So what does that mean? That means if you really mess something up Just let it dry you can go over it Worst-case scenario you can let it dry completely and just over the whole thing. That's actually not bad We need to work on the iris of this eye a little bit, but that's not bad All right, let's The edges need to be cleaned up on that one eye So let's do that before we move on to anything else Right there Okay, let's now do something about Yeah, yeah Mm-hmm Let's do something about her lips. So I'm gonna take a little bit of a lizard and crimson and my little filbert brush and Just a tiny bit of this paint I'm gonna put a little bit on the upper lip Wipe my brush off My brush was pretty watery which generally I would not be okay with but I think in this instance. I'm okay with it That's giving me a thin wash of paint, which I think I like I Do have my baby wipes so and the base coats dry So if you get in here and you do something you really hate and the paint is wet and your base coat is dry You can just come in and you can wipe it off So this is just I'm just pulling in some white so I can blend and shade a little bit and Highlight the parts of the lips that would be plumper and fuller Closer to the viewer and the darker reds to the part that would be in shadow Can use some of that flesh tone? There's no reason why you can't and just like with everything else on the face or any painting Just play with your layers And keep adding paints and marks until you get something that you really like of course I have some tricks. We're gonna pull out, but I haven't done that yet There are some things that you normally do to faces that we haven't done yet So I remembered it clean my brush off sometimes. So this is just the white and I'm just gonna Pull some of it in to some areas of her face Oops too much white. We have blob edge Okay, so here's some fun things that I like to do so Neons are a great color to use to suggest lightness and brightness and warmth You can use pink. You can use orange. I have both here. I'm gonna put both out. Let's start with the pink so it's fun to highlight your paintings and Bring out those high spots with a neon instead of Just white or black the orange is especially Nice to do take your baby white clean spot of your baby wife Again, we're not worried if we go over into our galaxy because we haven't painted our hair yet. So That's coming but look at that. Look what that little bit of neon painted to that face Okay, so we're gonna put some of the pink in the cheeks here Neons, neons are my favorite and Americana neons were the ones I started out with when I started painting and doing mixed media They're still my preference. They've always been my preference and they're affordable. You can get them anywhere Look at that How fabulous is she? See the neon highlights. They just make it pop every time Of course, there are some more things we need to do to her So one of the things I want to do is take a little bit of the purple that we've used to create her eyes And I'm gonna take a little bit of my water And I'm gonna just water it down a little bit And I'm gonna go in here. I don't want to get too much So I'm gonna blot my brush off and then go in here with just a little bit her her upper lash Little thing that we did is dry So I'm gonna dab a little bit of this water down paint on here and then come in with a clean damp brush and just push it around Really into the shadows around her eyes Almost like it looks like she's got either Eyeshadow on or the color of her eyes is reflecting on her skin There's a damp spot on her right there. Okay And then of course we want to go in with white It gives her a beautiful glow and it's just the neons So the other thing you want to do is you want to make sure you put a reflection in her eyes Otherwise her eyes kind of look dead, right? So that makes her eyes pop We still need to do something about her hair. All right See I'm gonna get out a round brush. I have to decide what I wanted to do about her hair I think I want to leave the background to galaxy background and give her hair And I'm kind of wanting to give her black hair, which is weird because I don't normally do girls with black hair But at least for the base, I think I want it to be black So we're gonna start over here and I am going to One of the fun ways to do hair that's time-consuming is to use a round brush and to actually You're basically you're painting in the strands of hair So you're just you're painting in stripes for the hair, right? I'm gonna do some strands on the other side I'm going to mix this with some blue What do I mean by that? I'll show you so blue is a good blue and I'm probably I might use some of the turquoise, too Blue is a good Highlight color for black hair And yes, I heard I saw that hair can be very challenging So I'm gonna alternate my strokes With some that have blue and some that have black Not gonna clean my brush now where her part is would be Darker you can lay the brush down heavy for I think Mark you can just use the tip of it for a thin wispy strands like you know, maybe you want to do something like this I almost got a blob of paint on her face where I didn't want it. So be careful. Do be careful So just like the skin the hair would have Highlights and low lights Your hair doesn't even if it's not died like mine. It doesn't have just one color in it Have some turquoise over here. It's a little dried up, but And then grab what we have and you could do like really lay it down with one color and do wispy strokes with another color You could use clean brushes for each color if that you so choose Just keep switching back and forth whole purpose of the Deco art series is Not only to share their products. Yes, that's part of it with you all but To prove to you that you can create interesting journal pages and Interesting pieces of artwork without buying super high-end materials. Yes, they're nice and it's great that they're out there You don't need to have them to create a really interesting piece of artwork Okay, I am going to give her some eyebrows, but I'm going to go in with my thinner brush and The black paint is a blob of water on there stand up. Let's see my mom had Well had had is the right term had blue black hair now. It's gray But she had beautiful blue back black hair in her younger days a little bit right here and where Just get in here and I think I want to get rid of that So we're gonna get in here with a baby wipe try to fix that little boo boo Eyebrow boo boo. Oh, yeah, that's better already So I'm just wrapping the baby wipe around my finger and using my fingernail to just get in here up against where I drew the eyebrow There we go. That's much better So she's pretty good So let's get that turquoise out. I'm really I wanted to give her a lighter color here Again, I'm just I'm barely Barely touching my brush to the page when you do hair like this with just Lots of lots of brushstrokes the more you put on here the better it looks Thank you so much Just keep going back and forth And you know, you probably want to and what I usually end up doing is starting out with a heavier brush stroke and then As I'm layering my colors on the hair I go with a lighter and lighter touch And you notice we've put no more pencil on here Except for what we initially put on there to put her face on you know to map out where she was going to go We've put no more pencil on there You could of course If you're going to put pen or pencil on here that you want to make sure that this dries completely before you do that That's my best advice for you. I want to give her a necklace I could do it in pen, but I think we're going to do it in paint because why not that's more fun I think we're gonna I'm tempted to use black, but I think instead of using straight black I think we're going to add some of that Turquoise to it and make sort of a blue gray Color, I think that's going to make me happier Thank you That does make me happier. I'm not really pouring out any new colors. I'm just using what I have I'm kind of wanting to reflect the galaxy in her necklace. I think I didn't know that was what I was going to do with this when I first started painting this on here It's got a little bit of pink This is my default way to do hair. I um Go back to doing it this way a lot Put a little water down there There we go Okay, so I'm going to come in with some where's my white white white She can't be wearing a reflection of the galaxy without without there being at least a couple of Starry things, right? So what do you think? So there's our galaxy girl Deco art americana paints nothing fancy Now of course you can she's pretty dry. Um, let me clean some of this mess up here. Let's see At least her face is pretty dry. The hair is still a little bit wet but you can of course come back in with your graphite crayon or a pencil and you can Use that to help you Without sticking your hand in something that's wet, which is what I'm trying not to do You don't have to do too much because if you've done the painting the right way Then this is just an accent And you don't need too much of it if any Just a couple pencil marks Most of my girls look like they're meditating or something if they don't look like they're totally p. Ode I think the galaxy background helps though to be in all honesty All right, do you have any questions? Now whether you're new at faces or not Um, give this a try. I think you should give this a try Even if the only takeaway from this lesson is that you want to do galaxy backgrounds cool um, but Give faces a try. What's the worst that could happen? I mean, you know They don't you don't start making um well without practicing so And they're fun to do and of course you could put a quote over here or words or um cutouts a collage maybe It's a good page for that And there's space here I would wait until this dries completely and then if you wanted to do something like that do it after It dries you could do it in Paint pen you could do it in with gel pen You could do it with collage Oh, good. Yeah, there's a lot in the beginning those that came late You know we start from the beginning all the way through and she does have some kind of ugly stages But you know we work through them They all have like an ugly stage at some point Happens to everybody There's something right there about that that I don't like So we're going to just take it off So see there you go. No more graphic pencil baby wipes Now I'll tell you a little sip tip a little sip a little tip Sometimes you can um reactivate dried up watercolors if they're not too dry with rubbing alcohol sometimes not always Sometimes you might reactivate them, but it might ruin the paper that you're painting on so be careful All right guys, that's it. I'm gonna go have lunch and get my mail I will see you all later. I'll be back on wednesday for watercolor wednesday.
