 and it's Thursday. So we're going to do some art. As soon as I get my everything situated, I hope you all had an awesome day. We have. Well you've been working, but it's awesome. I'm trying to pull up the chat on another screen real quick, so that is why there's nothing happening over here. Yeah, but in a minute. Okay, now I can see what I'm saying. Hello, G-U-D. Hi, Shane. Tudor and G-U-D in the Shane. Hope you all had an awesome day. I'm gonna do a negative space piece in theory. I'm gonna do a swipe, bring it back old pool. I still have a lot to pack up before we leave tomorrow to go do a countertop down in somewhere in Houston and then we're going directly over to RK3 to help with her class and do a pop-up shop. So I'm gonna be out of my shop for a bunch of days. So we have to get everything ready tonight and pack up and do a bunch of stuff. So we're just gonna do a negative space swipe because they always look great. They don't take a whole lot of time to do and they always look great. And I haven't done one in a while, so we'll see if I remember how to do them. I have too much resin in my V's. I'm just gonna... I should have put Milky Way in that one. Well, Avalonny will work. I'm just gonna use Avalonny for background color. All mods all day, right? Hello, Susan. What's up, Jerry? How you doing, Vamp? So, it is a lot of mods in the room, but that's okay. You guys are just punctual, right? So I'm trying to estimate how much of each color I want represented on the piece. This is 12 by 12. I made five ounces of resin, which is gonna be too much, but that is totally fine. Hello, Betty. Michelle. What's up, Marcie? I sent your package out today. Joseph sent you out a package. Tim sent you out a package. A bunch of y'all out of package today. All right. The gold we're gonna use today is an oldie but a goodie. One of my favorites for a long time. It's the bright gold from Just Resin. This one happens to have separated just slightly. So we're just gonna mix up it. Hello, JJ. I know the new thumbs-up-y thing is super fun, isn't it? Okay, so I'm gonna use Just Resin bright gold. You don't have to use a lot because it's a paste, very pigmented. You can get this color and the rest of my colors that I'm using today and almost every day in my shop, artisttilldeath.com. Oh, I didn't even know I wasn't in shot. That is super fun color. Next color I'm gonna use is, if I can open it, Just Resin's dark turquoise. Doesn't look like much in the jar but once I have it mixed into the resin, you're gonna be like, oh, okay. Warranted. Hello, Donna. Hope you're having a good morning. Oh, it's cold over there. Thank you to everyone who bought some of our lip pieces that we posted on Facebook. I got most of those shipped out today. So this is what the dark turquoise looks like from Color Obsession. Mercy, thank you so much. You always tip me when you come in and I never have my buzzer ready. I'll find it. Okay, and the last color is Deborah Shimmer from Color Passion. This is a base cell paste so any colors that I manipulate over this will sell in theory. Usually we'll see. Sometimes resin's gonna resin and you never know. You made the sound in your head perfect, even better. You guys didn't know she can sing super amazingly. She gifted me with one of her CDs and it is amazing. If you haven't gotten it, check it out. So this is what Deborah Shimmer looks like. It's a very warm bordering on hot pink. If you guys are new, you wouldn't know that this is one of my favorite palettes. And then the last color we're gonna do is top cell white from Color Passion. It is, as it suggests, a top cell white pigment. So unlike the other ones, it's supposed to sell from being on top of other colors. I don't use this one so much, but it's a really good colorant. I think it's just because I sell out of it so quickly that I just forget to try to use it. I'm actually pretty low on a lot of my colors, but they're all in order and I should get them this coming week. So I'm gonna wet my hands off because I am gonna do negative space on white and I don't want to transfer any of these colors that I've got on my hands into my negative space. This is not gonna work. What's up Clara? I hope you're move and getting settled and all that is going well. So for the background, I'm gonna take this Avaloni shell from Resinart. Look at that rainbowy sparkle that it gives off. It's one of my favorite things to use for backgrounds. I guess you could use it for a foreground, but my jam is backgrounds for this. So this is a little bit more than grease the pan. I want it to be kind of a thicker layer because I want to kind of cast the shadow from my... it's negative space. Would it be like the positive space area? Listen, words are hard apparently today and I don't know if positive space is the antithesis of negative space. I made up for it by using a big board. Anyways, so I know on a black background, Avaloni is where it's at. I'm actually gonna be using this in the countertop that we are going to be doing in Houston this weekend along with dark turquoise and white. It's gonna be amazing. I already know it. I can see it in my head. Super pumped about it. So now that we have our a little bit thicker grease the pan down, we can start adding our main colors or I guess positive area colors, but I just got some hair on the piece though. One moment. It is a moderator kind of day, isn't it? But that's okay because we love y'all. Alright. I'm trying to adjust this so that there's no glare or shadow. I don't think there's a way to do that though, but nah. So first color I'm gonna add is the Color Passion Debbie Shimmer. I'm adding this on the bottom so that it will help me create some cells hopefully. And I always do kind of a thinner line and I don't do a whole bunch of stuff because it's just harder to swipe through. Hey Brett Cunningham, how you doing? Get some rest vamp. Then I'm going to I think run some gold through it. This gold won't take over like a lot of floating gold will, but I still don't add a crazy amount. I want it to be kind of thinner. And so I don't want to add color thicker than my finger. I've already gone past that point on this one for a very small area. Just try to keep it very minimal. Ideally I would have done like twice the size of that one for all the colors, but it's fine. And now I have the Top Cell White. If Jeff were over here he would want me to try to do a, I guess a Dutch type pour. We're just gonna do it this way. I taught this going all the way across Australia. This exact everything. Thank you Clara. So now that I have all the color down that I want to add I'm gonna heat it up a little bit just to pop some bubbles. The base cell paints like the Debbie Shimmer don't like to hang out with a whole lot of heat. It makes your cells kind of weaker. So you just want to add a little bit of heat. Not a lot. Okay now I take my swiping paper. I have this available on my website. You can just use a heavier, like a heavier type of wax paper that has a shiny side. This one has a shiny and a matte side. We're gonna be using this shiny side. Now so for a swipe wherever you lay your swiping paper is gonna be what color shows up. So if I lay it just in the white and pull it then most of the dyes, dyes, that's not words. Design is gonna be white. So I like to kind of lay my swiping paper in to a few colors. So I have kind of a gradient between all the colors. So you want to pick up about a pencil width of your colorants and move really slowly. If you go too fast you're just gonna skip over everything. You want to give the paper time to pick up and redistribute your resin. Beautiful. I just want you to know. You're welcome. Everybody is welcome for that awesome that I just bestowed on y'all. So I only use a swiping paper one time and then I will tear that piece off or get a new piece and then move a little bit further down and repeat the process. Make sure that if you do this you're not putting it in your resin vertically. You want to do it as horizontal as possible because if you do it vertically, sorry, okay stop swaying. If you do it vertically you're just gonna scrape your resin off and ultimately what you want to do is kind of soft glide over the top. We'll do Megan. Right Donna Parker? Super fan of the color combo. We were getting some cells already. You didn't even add any more heat yet. As this resin kind of sets and relaxes those cells will grow a bit because we are using a base cell paste. So I'm going to get a new piece of paper. I'm going to go just a little bit up. I'm kind of going to do just kind of a feathery type of design on this one. So I'm going to go up and lay it into multiple colors. Take my time. Then I kind of angle it down to one of the corners to get that kind of trail of color. Now this is just how I like to swipe. There are plenty of ways to use this technique. It is totally up to you and what your creativity, what direction it takes you. Everybody's creative. I was just a little bit different I think. You didn't know you could get cells in resin. Well I am here to tell you about all the celly things that you can do with resin. Sorry about that really loud, not very sweet car that just came through. It may be better if I get you on this side. But you can kind of see what I'm doing without my hand actually being in the way. So just as before, I'm going to lay it down so it kind of picks up multiple colors. Just swipe right on through. If you don't like these gaps that are in between all of these, I mean it's art. You can do with it what you wish. Sorry that it's moving like that. You can also take a little bit of swiping paper and kind of fill that gap in. So now I want to try to do this side. However, I don't ever really want to swipe away from me because then just reactively I may swipe through and bring that swiping paper back across and that's just going to most likely drip into your piece so that is no good. So I just like to turn things around. It's always easier to pull towards you than to push away from you as well. So now I'm going to try to stagger where I started the swipe. So I'm not going to start here which would be exactly opposite of this one. I'm going to come up a little bit. That way doesn't look like I parted the hair of this painting so to speak. And you want to kind of match the directional of what you have on this side. So if I'm going this way, then I want to come this way. We want to always come this way. I guess you could go back this way but don't do this and then like angle it like that. It just, I haven't seen one work out, not to say that it wasn't in my experience kind of mirroring as the best bet in terms of design. Now I know someone's going to comment and be like that's not what I do and it looks amazing. I'm sure it does. I can only teach what I know personally and personally it just doesn't work out for me if I do all that. Awesome business, right JJ? This is such a quick and easy design and it really never disappoints. Is there a way to do one vein down the middle of both directions? Are you talking about pulling a line through these or just a line through the feather itself? Well that picked up only the teal because apparently I only laid it in the teal. Marcy thank you so much. I know you probably did that better in your head but I wanted to give it a shot. I really appreciate that tip. All funds coming into the channel go right back into the channel and so it really helps us out when you guys do that. So thank you very much. I think I want to pull one through here. It does look very feathery does that. It always makes me so nervous to pull opposite of how I have the board. Thank you Debbie so much. I love these colors too. They're some of my favorites to start with because the secondary colors from them if they decide to make their own version of mud they still look amazing. So that's why I go with this palette. If you guys want me to do a video on the color theory just let me know. Do you believe Tudor? Thank you. I don't have my button. I know that was weak. Not bad. So there we have super easy swipe feather. Meet you guys in up close. You can see the cells that you can create. It's fun. You can see that Abalone in the background just living its best sparkly life. It could be mermaid hair. I'm all about mermaid hair if you guys don't know. I'm a mermaid. Little humble brag. So I can say that the top cell white is in fact a top cell pigment because we got some little cells. I'm sure if I tried to work those a little bit I could stretch them but I don't want to mess up this gradient swipe of the teal and the pink. So I'm just going to leave that alone. I'll do one of these bad boys up the middle to further impart the fact that it's a feather. Where's Abbey? He is. I think he's editing down a video. I love it. I miss doing these types of pores. I'm glad I have a mental capacity to do them again. I'm not just trying to plan a wedding and running around like crazy. So yeah. Do a color theory video. I absolutely will. You guys know whatever you guys want me to teach. I'm here for it. Be all year round. Do you want to see my this? I'm a mermaid hair feather. So Jessica in the background is a color called Abalone shell. It's by Resonart. You can get it on my website artisttilldeath.com along with all the other colors I used which was Bright Gold by Just Reson, Top Cell White by Color Passion, Dark Turquoise by Color Obsession, and Debbie Shimmer by Color Passion. Well thanks for stopping in Cary before you go to work. We appreciate it so super much. I'm going to take this over to the DFZ before I get cat hair in it which is very likely. Also try not to trip over to that. Beautiful. So y'all know that wasn't a very long live. However, sometimes you just have to do what you can do with what you got to do it with. I don't know if that made sense. Somebody out there understands. I've been asked before about my cleanup and this is basically it. We use a butcher paper and then just roll it up after we're done art-ing. That is the best way found to clean things up. Thank you Cary. Love watching the video. I am still waiting on my professional video. I'm very excited about when that comes in. Hi Bob, how are you doing? Come let's see hi. Come here. Do a smush with Geocosters. Tudor, I think your feet is a little behind I would have. Everybody was asking about UB so now they can see you. They were like, where's Jeff? Where's your hubs? Why isn't Jeff there? Oh, freezer paper. Thank you for the compliment, Cary. No worries, Christy. You know all of our videos are on replay after we do the live. Anyways, I got to get to packing up stuff for the next 10 days. Tudor will be around to send out orders while we're gone so have no fear. All orders will still be going out and inventory will be coming in. I look so married. I think I wear it well. Anyways, you guys are amazing and we love you so, so much. Have an awesome evening. We'll see y'all. We'll see y'all at some point this weekend. You know, we're going to post updates on what we're doing and create some content. So yeah, we'll be doing a basically white onyxie marble with Avaloni and dark turquoise and then we have to go to another spot down there and do a flood coat over another countertop and then we're going to run this to help with the class and do a pop-up shop. Anyways, we have our classes posted on our website if you want to join us and yeah, you guys have an awesome evening. We'll see you guys this weekend. We kind of want another because you never know what someone's going through. So you don't have to. I didn't. It just does it from the reverb of my excitement. But we did a test that you don't have to. Anyways, thank you guys so much. We'll see you guys this weekend. Bye. Oh, you're going to say bye. Hold on. Hold on. You do. You do. Look y'all. I'm wearing shoes because I'm an adult and I didn't forget. Yeah, that's all. Okay.
