 Hi bitches, my name is Fredrick. Stop misspelling my fucking name. Chen, you see it? You see it? Yeah, don't forget it. So Fredrick's art camp is officially its own playlist. You can see it right here. Go look at it. And not only do I have acrylic paints, watercolor paints, and a lot of synthetic brushes, dollar store acrylic paints, and anxiety instructions right in there. Why do you watch me again? But I also have these babies. Yes, Amsterdam acrylic paints. Now you're probably asking, Fredrick, why would you waste your money again? Why aren't you saving for college? Well, you know what? I recently saw this post on Etsy and I'll show it right here. And I looked at the price tag and it's after my calculations, $112. I am a soon-to-be college student. We don't do $112 shoes. I mean, some of you probably do with your inherited money, with your Yeezys, but I'm not gonna say anything. No, my Asian family taught me to be cheap, but in a smart way. Because why spend $50 on vans and then paint them, or just buy the straight-up $112 shoes on Etsy? You can find $4 pairs of white shoes from the thrift store and use some $20 paint instead. Now I'm gonna keep in mind that the $20 of paint comes with literally four of these. Like, I got a lot. So I'm just gonna say these are $10 shoes because you can just buy like a couple colors. Sunflowers are my favorite type of flower and I want some more goddamn yellow things in my life, okay? So we're gonna prepare my art studio, which is the floor of my room, by the way, and I'm gonna get me some yellow sunflower shoes today. But first, I must get into my artistic costume. Parle-vous-français. Yeah, I took four years of French. Let's do the video. So first I'm gonna get some cups of water. I'll be right back. Okay, I'm back. Let's start this. So I'm gonna first trace this out with a pencil. Let me zoom you in a little bit. All right, so I have my shoes. Hello. So all I want to do is just take this design and then pencil it all out through here. So give me a few hours. Hold on. All right, so I got thirsty. So I got some kombucha. It's yellow, you know, fitting the theme. Not sponsored, by the way, but I would wish I was. So I have all the sketches down. I'm noticing right now that this flower is much bigger than any other flower. And I want to change it, but I'm also kind of lazy. I think it'll be fine. So now we have to mix up all my paints. So let me get some pallets. All right, these are all the pallets that I have. I cannot wash these perfectly. I'm sorry. But I'm gonna first mix some brown together. So I'm gonna mix together raw umber and burnt sienna to try to get like a sunflower seed color. Oh, wait. I just realized I don't need to paint that much. So I know it's two-part paint and one-part textile medium. Now, this is like actually liquid. So let's try not to spill this over the apartment floor that I'm about to move out of. Oh, oh, this is like... This just smells like glue. Did I just pay $10 for overpriced glue? Did I? All right, so I'm gonna do something smart for once. I'm not gonna pour it straight onto there. I'm gonna pour it into this little teaspoon thing I have and try to measure this all out. All right, so it's not gonna be exact measurements because I'm too lazy for that. But I think this is good enough. So let me just mix this up real quick. Every time I mix too much paint, I always do this. All right, so I'm gonna test this on the back of my college sheets because I just want to see what this color actually is. All right, so I only have to color in a few spots and I want to be really careful with this because I can't draw outside of these lines. Now, before I paint, I just want to put tape over the sole of the shoe because I don't want to get stuff on it. This is giving me some flashbacks. Okay, this is now working so well. Give me a second, I'll be right back. Two hours later. I want you to know this took way too fucking long. So now that these look even more DIY than ever before, I hope this paint hasn't dried yet because I left it out there. But we're just gonna start. Oh, yep, it's dried. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You're not allowed to dry it. I'm gonna go ahead and paint on all of the brown parts. Oh, Jesus, it is so easy to make a mistake, oh my God. Now, the trick is to take your time and be patient, which is very hard for me, as you all know. But seriously, don't try to make your layers too thick. Or else, your paint will crack and I'm already making this way too thick. Great, great, great. If you came here looking for a real tutorial, click away. Okay, that's not too bad. I can go with that. Okay, let me think about what is the easiest part to paint. Like, the front, yeah, this is the front. How the heck do you draw a circle? Keep in mind that I have to outline all of this. So like, it doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be good enough. There's a reason I say I have below average content because it's good enough. Ooh, my stress. Let me zoom in a little bit more for you. Even a little more. There we go. Oh, no. Oh, no, it's getting on my finger. I'm gonna wipe that off before anything bad happens because I already feel it coming. Okay, so I think that's all of the front. Now I'm gonna get the side. This requires the technique. Technique, the technique. Ooh, okay, let's not touch that part. One more circle. Yeah, definitely made too much paint for this but it's better to have extra paint than not enough. Okay, that one is done. Now we have another shoe. Let's start off easy. Let's do the front first. You know, a part of me wants to save this paint because I'm that cheap but I don't know what to save it in. We might come back to that. Okay, now this enormously large flower. Ooh. I'm breathing really hard right now. Oh my God, my neck is fucking killing me. I don't really know if this is like amusing content but y'all fucking voted for it. Okay, three more dots. I'm kind of scared that my love for yellow will just keep growing to the point where I might need an intervention. It might be time, guys. This guy's addicted to the color yellow. Find out his story below. Oh my God, my hand is shaking so much. Stop. Okay, one more dot. I just can't wait to show you guys how much extra paint I made. All right, that's the end of the video. Look at how much extra paint I have. I need to find something to save it with. All right, I found a little small black pop from Lush and with our finger because we are lazy is gonna scoop. I hope everyone who is a professional painter is cringing at me right now and judging me. I'm also going to take this time to use my paint towel which is a beach towel that I accidentally put paint on. So now it's a paint towel. So next I want to tackle all of the yellowness. Now this is really appealing to me right now because this one right here, this one right here seems like the perfect yellow for this. This one is called yellow medium. Mmm, that much. One part textile medium. And I think I'm just gonna reuse the brush for this even though I probably shouldn't. Oh, look at that yellow. Look at that beautiful color yellow. I'm literally gonna have a yellow room when I move, mark these words. All right, so let's get started with painting. I'm gonna try to see if I can keep a gap in between the lines only because I want to be able to trace it. Oh, it's beautiful. Oh my God. Wait, I'm pretty sure I can go over that with green. If not, so God help me. Now this paint is said to be top notch quality. So I better see full pigmentation. Oh shit, that was supposed to be a leaf too. Wait, which one's the leaf? Damn it, I was right the first time. But so far this seems much easier because I don't have to be as exact. Which is a very good thing for me by the way. My body, however, physically hurts now. I would like that to stop immediately. Really glad I saved that brown because I might go over some of these parts again just because I'm not really good with layering. I should have done yellow first, then brown and also let me know what to paint next because I got a fucking lot of paint. Okay, one flower done. Move on to the next. Okay, running into another problem here. How the heck am I gonna get rid of all these pen marks? I'm not gonna trace it that thick. I'll figure it out along the way. This is taking such a long time and I would like to listen to music but then I'm just gonna get copyrighted. Like there is no win-win situation here and my body is aching. There's a piece of fabric here. There's a piece of freaking fabric here. The perfectionist in me is coming out again and he rarely comes out. Oh my God, I want this to be over. And there's a stain here and I was supposed to cover up that stain using the big flower but someone forgot. Everything will be A-okay. I also can't stop smelling detergent because I washed these for two hours yesterday and I still don't know how that stain ended up there. Like the stain showed up after the wash. How does that make sense? Not someone's gonna come. It's gonna be like actually Frederick. Then proceed to give me a two-page essay, body and conclusion about why the stain appeared. Okay, so after like 20 layers, I got that one done. I will say on camera it looks much better and that's how it always has been from my channel. Exhibit A, my face. Exhibit B, my skin. They said blow-dry this after but I don't think there is any need to because this whole thing's gonna dry by the time I'm done. I haven't even finished one shoe and I've been here for like over an hour. What time is it? I've been here for two hours. This is why I hate the painting videos. It's like 90% silence, 10% me talking sometimes. Like how the heck did that flower take so much less time than this? Let's go to this flower. I'm also running out of yellow which is a very big problem. Ah, no, that's another leaf. I painted on another leaf. Uh... Now this was so hard to draw over because it was like there's too many lines so I don't know how this will look with paint over it. Wait, wait, before I do this let me first identify the leaf. There's the fucking leaf. Okay. Fill me once, shame on you. Fill me twice. I'm a fucking idiot. No, there's fabric on here again. Please go away. One eternity later. Jesus Christ. I've finished one shoe officially onto this one. And all my tape fell off. Great. I'm gonna paint this big flower first. You know what, fuck this tape. I can't do it with it anymore. We're going freehand. We're gonna... We're gonna yellow this. How is that gonna do hard? Whoa. Wait, there's a divot here? Wait, hold up. Now I'm curious. Did I get all of it? Okay, so tape is a waste of time. Let me go back and fix all of this. Let me go back and get all the little parts in this. Yeah, you definitely don't need tape. I don't know why that tutorial is so scared of people messing up. All of that. All of that. All right, that's just good. Back to this one. Yeah, see, look how much brown I missed. Oh my God. Anyone who called me stupid for saving that paint. Guess who's laughing now? Ow. Did you just hear that? That is the sound of tendonitis. That is the sound of arthritis. I'm really starting to run out. Is not a good thing. Please, I need you to be more full coverage. Three more flowers. No more paint. Time to freak out is now. There's yellow on my soul. There's yellow in my soul, too. I think my kombucha is lukewarm at this point. I'm cutting it close with the amount of paint left in my pan. Why did I draw so many flowers on here? Oh my God. Okay, take back what I said about being able to finish this with the amount of paint I have left. We're not going to make it. Wait, maybe we can. Oh, where there's a wheel, there's a fucking way. My back may be killing me, but oh my gosh, I did it. You guys, I used the perfect amount of paint for once. There's really no more in there. Oh my God, I'm so proud. I must take a break though because my back is about to pass away. And my foot is numb. Oh my God. Okay, so all I have to do is paint the green and then re-do the brown and then trace it all and then we're done. And now that I think about it, yes. I just bought more acrylic paint only to open one color because now I'm going to take some emerald green, mix it with literally one drop of sap green and then we're going to get my final color. Sorry guys, battery died. A full battery, mind you. But I'm about to put the textile medium in here if I can find it or the fuck did you go? Seriously, where did you go? Oh no. Oh, it's by me. Okay, I'm done. Okay, put like a few drops of this in here and we're still going to use the same paint brush because I'm cheap. Okay, so that's a little bright. I would like it just a little bit darker. So we're going to take our favorite color. Focus you stupid camera. We're going to take our hookers green, everyone. Just a little bit because this is pretty dark. Okay, I'm liking this color. I like this. I like that. So where are my failed leaves on here? I'll start with the back this time. Oh, that looks so cute. Oh my God. The leaf just pulled it all together. Oh my God. Notice how I've learned how to hold the shoe in my hand. I'm really getting the hang of this guy's like, this is enough fail for once. I actually did something good. Oh, look at that precision though. Mmm. Oh my God. I love this. Okay, now this fat ass leaf that I drew precision, accuracy, speed. Mmm, beautiful. Yeah, this brush really does do everything. It's flat so I can get in the nooks and crannies. It's pointy so I can make precision. Oh my God. Look at that line. Oh my God. I'm so proud. Oh no, wait. I think I just got too excited. I kept going and going and I realized that this leaf ended much sooner. This is fixable. All right, so I'm going to make one small change. I don't like the direction of this leaf and I would like to remove these two stains. So this stain, you're going to be a leaf now. Okay, small problem. Um, I didn't make as much green as I needed I think. Let's pray this turns into this situation with the yellow and it all works out in the end. But if not, I'm going to fuck the screen because I just make so many colors to make this perfect green. Sorry, I just realized I ran away from the camera for like a clean five minutes. Mmm. Oh, never mind. That's not that big of a mistake. Notice the overdramatic gas that just happened. That's the gay in me. Okay. Oh, that was way too risky. Frederick, don't do that ever again. You're going to a little too confident with your painting skills. Frederick, slow down. Okay. Okay. One, two, three more leaves to go. Oh my God, slow down Frederick, please. Like this hand just thinks before I do and I haven't seen any drops on my floor. Like look at this. Frederick, our camp is getting a better reputation. Now let's just raise enough money to get himself in his own studio. So he doesn't have to paint on the floor and ruin his back every time. And then class can finally be in session. That leaf's done. One more leaf. And I think I have just enough. Look at that. Frederick knows how much paint he needs now too. Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm done. What's up, Matt? I'll take paint. Okay, bye. That was my dad, by the way. All right. So I don't want to film the rest of this because it's going to be so boring and I have too much to edit. I'm just going to take a Sharpie. I'm just going to take a fine paint pen and trace over everything and then we'll be done. Let's cut to the end result. One eternity later. And after four total hours, I am freaking done. Oh, this is why I don't do art videos. They take so long to make. But yeah, these are the final shoes. I'm actually really proud of them. I think I did a great job for once. They're not perfect, but I don't really care because they're shoes. They're four dollars. There's nothing to complain about. And I'll be wearing these a lot now. So that's all I have for today.
