 hello everybody and welcome back to the average today we're going to do something just a bit of fun with our and we haven't had fun with art for a while so we're going to do something a little bit more video orientated and that is a hundred layers of acrylic chili gouache and we're going to be using this bad boy because you know it is 2017 again so we're going to be doing this because we don't want 2020 what am i saying 2020 2020 anymore we're done with it so i'm going to go back in time a little bit here are the amazing jelly acrylic paints and as you can see they're still as nice as the day i bought them i haven't really used them much because i don't really like acrylics so kind of regretted buying this much of it but today we're going to utilize it and do some mountain painting as in a hundred layers of mountain painting let's go cool transition after that glorious introduction we're going to start nice and easy with the first layer i wanted to try and make a sort of rainbow ask layer of paint here so as it would go up the layers of paint it would become different colors and beautiful at the sides as we go on you'll see that i kind of changed my mind on this but i just gently started out with layering down the paints and then in between paints i am hair drying it which was actually a really painful process but layering down the paint was really fun just the drying of the paint was not so much fun it was really great to just kind of relax and getting to the groove of just moving pushing paint around the canvas without really thinking too hard about what i was doing it was just fun and free and something that i don't usually get to do much of these days and kind of doodling stuff for comics so making more of kind of specific art and detailed art and it's just nice to shut down your brain a little bit it's kind of like a meditation in a way so between each layer i was also washing my brush and wiping it down on this cloth that i had so i wasn't wasting any like tissue paper or anything it was good for the environment but yeah it took a long time guys this took three hours i didn't think it was going to take that long because i thought acrylic might dry faster it didn't it didn't it needed some assistance in the form of the hair dryer as i was going i was really getting like mark rofko vibes from this way of painting if you guys don't know who mark rofko is he's that guy who did those like rectangular areas of paint but as you look into the paint it's kind of like looking into your soul because it's like really in depth paint and you look into it and it's just loads of textures and it's very beautiful but very um like a required taste i guess because some people are like why is that worth so much when it's just a square on a paint square on a paint yep square painting on a canvas and this was kind of giving me vibes of that in the beginning and i really like that i thought you know what it's it's more than fun this painting with the acrylic i'm starting to see like textures and the way that the acrylic paint is reacting with each other and i was finding a lot of like visual interest in doing that and just like making marks and seeing what would happen if i then went over a little bit over the sides with it and what would what kind of like impression i would create i don't know how to explain it was just fun and it was it was like trying to make like a nice piece of art that i could hang on my wall that was abstract but also quite beautiful and i really like the way that it kind of worked like dry brush but it wasn't really dry brushing because it was just it was just reacting to where the the texture was of the paint so some of the paint was building up in certain areas a bit more than others and it was like a natural texture and a natural progression of this this thing kind of growing on the canvas which was really interesting as i continued it kind of turned into a bit of an experiment with acrylic paint and i really thought at the end of this i probably wasn't going to like the outcome too much as an artistic piece like i would have enjoyed the process more than i actually liked the overall painting but at the end of this i really like the painting and actually i think i'm going to hang it up in my house because it's quite pretty and i think it would look good in like a nice white frame maybe and just non-traditional art that i don't really own so there we go it like i said it didn't take a long time it took about three hours but i think i would do this again i would maybe limit the color palette and see what kind of creation would come out of that of just putting down layers of paint of a certain color and then yeah i just think it would be really pretty and i will probably try that again in the future because i have a lot of that jelly gouache i keep saying jelly gouache i'm used to it i have a lot of that jelly acrylic paint left over so i think i'm going to keep doing these because it was just fun and relaxing how many times can i say fun in the same video fun fun there you go there's another view for you for your little book there what um yeah so i just kept experimenting and then in the middle there was starting to see like this progression of this kind of build up of paint i thought it would look really cool if i pushed paint a little bit more around the canvas to build up little bits of different areas which were built up a bit more as well not just the middle bit and it came out with this like beautiful pattern in the middle which looked like a really expressionate paint brush stroke and then on the outside flecks of paint and it kind of looks like you know it reminds me of like an artist's palette that's been used over and over again for years and years and i think it looks so pretty it just reminds me of that kind of vibe of like in an old art studio with paint splattered everywhere and different things like that and i think it was just fun and i think the process was i said fun again didn't i i 50 points from puffer puff um no we're not doing Harry Potter anymore right um yeah it was just it was just a good expressionate thing to do and i could relax and i highly suggest you guys giving it a whirl i think i'm gonna let you guys just enjoy the last uh couple layers that i put down on this piece all by yourself and i will meet you at the end okay guys that is the final layer of paint i actually really like the way this turned out in the end i found it loads of fun and i think i'm gonna frame this because i think it's quite beautiful in a way i had a lot of fun making this and i'm sure you guys had a lot of fun watching it or i hope you were anyway i just like to thank my patreons who are devon ace tubalum jackalyn
