 All right you guys in this video I'm gonna show you how I did this piece It's the junior of this mammoth of a piece this one's 48 by 48 this one I think is 2024 But I sped up through it because it took me a number of days So I'm just gonna tell you real quick what you're gonna see in the video First I did the gray wash background Like by Spursing water and letting it drip and things like that then I went in and picked the areas that I wanted to have this red Added and I just kept layering deeper and deeper every time let that set next day. I added this gold leaf with a special adhesive I'll link all the Materials I used in the comment box below and then I went over it with gold leaf I can't decide yet if I want to resin her to finish. I think I will but Stay tuned till the end of the video to see how I finished off this piece Before I post her for sale. All right you guys Jeff took all of our camera mounts out to the mural that he's working on today. So I'm doing the best I can with I Can't even explain the rig to you guys So I'm going to finally finish Bertha. I'm gonna try a couple new things. Maybe I don't know Depends on if I'm brave enough We'll see so I'm using in biotech's light on this piece for no other reason than I like how it works After this cup is big enough I'm not sure how much resin this will take. I'm not doing that much like artwork with it. I'm just Giving it a good coat So We'll see if I have enough resin Okay, I've been toying with the idea of adding some glitter, but I don't know if this is like too Not really gold. I think it'll probably be fine So here we go. Now since I knew I was gonna be adding Resin to it. I prepped the canvas just like I would if I was just prepping for a regular pour So that it doesn't dip so much in the middle I usually try to make sure that The interior has a good healthy even coat before I push the resin to the sides That way as a little falls off as possible Sometimes you'll end up with a piece of gold that just wants to stick up If you like maneuver it enough it'll either come up or go ahead and lay down That way you can avoid doing a second coat Because that takes time It's not a fun time Then you have to sand it and heat it and alcohol it And if it can be done in one coat I'm all for it Alcohol I know what is this? Resin's expensive. I need to find a resin sponsor. That's what I need to do One day baby steps All right, now that everything's covered. I'm at the point where I have to decide if I want to Add sparkle or not and typically I'm sparkle kind of person. So we're gonna get that a shot Have you all ever tried to put wet gloves back on? Don't recommend. It's like putting on a wet swimsuit Only with resin not fun times I didn't I had this much fluffed over so we're gonna add It into the mix and adding clear resin over where I have glitter and all of the pigment powder That's just gonna push around What I already have so it's gonna make little designs Which I will show you guys when we're done with the whole piece. Yeah, be careful when you use mica powders I don't know if this is a mica powder or just a Pigment powder It says non-toxic. I don't know What are labels but be careful because It's not good in your lungs if it is mica Y'all can't really see it right now, but you will in a minute Filting it just a little bit while I add this heat so that it can generate more movement because gravity I Had y'all rigged up there with this thing on this bar I think that's where we're at right now So this is a small version of this. I didn't put the gray in the background like I did in this one and I haven't covered it in resin yet when I do I haven't decided if I'm gonna do the glitter thing Or leave it just clear but Like on the surface you can't really see much about that pigment powder that we Like dust it over it, but on the sides you can't let me get a light I'll show you more about how she turned out after she sets
