 one in YouTube land. So when I was teaching a class in Pasadena, one of the lovely beautiful very talented students we had there asked me a question about how to create a crashing looking wave when you have like rocks and other stuff in your piece and I told her that I would demo this and so that's what's gonna happen. I took some of my clear fire glass not gonna focus because that's my life and I sprayed it for real not gonna okay so it's just the glass and then I sprayed it with this nope yep this Rust-Oleum texture spray. This stuff takes forever to dry I blast mine with a heat gun while it's drawing to help that along but I left some of the angles clear so that it still looks kind of just frosted and not solid but I'm debating on dusting it with a gold spray paint sorry Bowie I know I just scared you I'm sorry my bad I'm sorry but I was gonna see what you guys thought about that before I actually did that bit. Gold rocks or leave them regular earth color I'm actually pretty excited about how these look because I didn't have any rocks or boulders for my ocean waves to crash upon for this demo and I was gonna make some and then I did and I'm super pumped. What's up what's up Kathy, Julia, Jini, Carrie, Melody, Christine, Julie, Stephanie, so many fans thank you guys so much for being here if you're new hi hello what's up welcome please subscribe and hit the bell leave me your thumb if you wish you like the earth color two three earth colors so that we're gonna leave them earth color team cool no more spray paint for now so this is an ocean that I did I don't even know how long go and so we're going to add some waves to it and next level it so everybody likes the earth colors but I want it to sparkle just a little bit so I'm just gonna like lightly dust it so it just has a little bit of that like shimmery you can't even really tell actually oh there you go you can see those like goldy kind of flecks but you can't really I didn't fully cover it just some flecks of gold because who doesn't want to see gold in their hills I think I just made that up but that's fine okay so I'm just gonna hit this with my heat gun to further dry them because we don't want any of the spray paint getting into I cannot believe this will not focus well you can see the gold there anyways so you don't want any of the spray paint to get leaked into your piece some resin I'm going to use some of the new quick coat that's UV resistant not today but as soon as I get that resin in I don't have tracking yet so I'm gonna arm wrestle someone at stone coat slash polytech soon I think anyways I don't know why I said all that but so because of reasons I'm using mixed media girls art resin it is a shorter working time it is thicker but it's still a good resin to use for oceans it's UV resistant I am currently out of it but you can get it from Marcy's shop makes me your girl calm leave her a note saying I said what's up if you do so Christy hey Tim so yes okay I'm gonna make me some white I haven't done this with fireglass making like a crashing wave look so we're gonna see how it works in theory I don't see why it wouldn't work as well as actual rocks other than the fact that rocks tend to be more circular instead of angular and it could mess with the way the heat gun airflow kind of I don't have a word but basically bounces off the rocks and moves the white the waves the water the white so I don't know we're gonna figure it out together and see if this works if it doesn't we'll still make something pretty because we can't I put too much white paste in this but there's no going back now so how is the weather and everything where everybody's from it's finally starting to thaw here in Dallas I only got one day of snow a little bit bitter about that but it's fine I'll see snow in March okay so we have our white I'm going to what is this fondi sweet not gonna do that yet usually I would go ahead and make some color but need to figure out my wave line first usually I tell people to stay at least an inch back from their first wave but I'm kind of doing this as though it is a first wave okay so let's put our this down I don't want to be too deliberate with how I'm applying these rocks because they'll look more natural if they aren't placed they're just there but I need them to be kind of taller so that I can use the airflow to bounce off of those rocks and push out into the ocean I hope that makes sense and I'm kind of talking as I'm figuring out how I'm gonna do this I tried to find all the bigger glass that I had I'm just gonna dip this into this overflow I think I'm gonna kind of trail off this rockiness so it looks kind of like what's it called like a breaker that right when they have just like a peninsula of rocks I think it's called a breaker because I'm pretty sure it's meant to break up waves so you can have like a calm surf area I could be way wrong I have no idea but until someone tells me that's not called a breaker I'm gonna use that word all right I think I can I think I can roll with how we're looking right now ideally I think I'm gonna put some more rock out here so that it's balanced but not even I don't want to do it like this because I would just look awkward yeah I'm just gonna put them out out in the ocean okay so let's make some more color so I'm gonna use just a little bit of my Milky Way or shooting stars so I have some sparkle in my water I'm gonna use just a few drops of my Bondi to get my first color and then I'm gonna add a couple more drops for a deeper ocean tone even though the deep water that I have here is already dark enough so this is what our sparkly water looks like right now I'm using color obsession Bondi blue which I think I have some in stock oh I just got a shipment of color passion and I have a code right now through this weekend the code is restock 15% off just FYI okay now I'm gonna put my light color on bang bang boom I'm gonna add just a couple more drops of the same Bondi to the rest of this mix that I already have and that's gonna build me a deeper color it's the cool thing about these color obsession tints is you can add as many drops as you need to to create a deeper color and it'll always be translucent and when you're trying to do water I feel like that's super important to have translucent pigment you can get all the products I'm using today at our website artist till death com alright so here's our deeper blue it's not that dark but that's on purpose because this is already very dark so you can see here this is the blue I just added and this is the blue that we did first their difference in tone even though it's the same color used just a little bit more product will give you a darker hue the rocks look awesome well thank you hello Kelly I hope you're having an amazing day but we had an awesome birthday yesterday he did the same thing that he does every day just live the life basically I work hard so that I can spoil my pup and I'm just gonna push the resin that I have down up under this a boulder that we made it because it's looking kind of shallow so Marcy's resin is a bit thicker than other ones like stone coat for example so if you do need to thin it a little bit just put it make sure your lids are tight and then put it in a warm water bath for like 10 minutes to thin it out some but keep in mind that when you do that I put way too much Milky Way in here which is bananas since I didn't even use that much if you do a hot water bath be advised that when you preheat your resin you kind of start off the I think it's endothermic reaction that resin does could be exothermic I don't know words are hard and it will speed up the curing process so you'll cut your working time down and Marcy's resin is a 45 minute ish epoxy so do be careful okay so I'm gonna take the white I'm gonna put it down like I usually do where my fresh resin is touching the dry part of the piece in this case it is the first wave just as expected that resin is already like creeping forward right here which is fine I'm just going to have to make sure when I put the board up to cure that I'm leaving it just at a slight angle downward towards the deep water so that it doesn't want to roll forward is there glitter in the blue resin so I put a little bit of the Milky Way or shooting star from resin art in it so there's just a little bit of a sparkle because in my world water glistens and sparkles you know I'm putting just a little bit of white on the water side of my rocks see if I can zoom you guys in a little bit cool hope that's not too zoom in and zoom in okay words are hard today apparently okay I'm just gonna make sure that everything's lined up so you can see it okay all right I'm gonna turn my heat gun all the way on high airflow and high heat highest heat highest airflow and I'm using a concentrator nozzle to give me some Ripley looking waves I'm gonna put my board just a little bit on a tilt on angle so that my resin starts to slide backwards I'm gonna do this side first so what I'm thinking I need to do is make my heat gun airflow face towards my rocks and because the air has to go somewhere I feel like it's going to curl under when it hits the rocks it's gonna go down because I'm gonna try to hold my heat gun at an angle to push the waves back outward if that doesn't work we're gonna figure it out going to do the rest of this area beautiful scalloped wave there I think I don't like this I'm just going to sweep it off then I'll fill it back in with some of the other resin that I have out on the board to da and I'm going to redo this part of the wave maybe I just need to have it face downward instead of directing it exactly at the rocks yeah downward it is so I have the white and the wave where I want it to be but I don't want to mess up this because this may be the prettiest wave I've ever done on this area so I'm gonna take a torch and okay so you can see this bright blue area that's gonna be too hot for what we're doing and then you can see this kind of like pale translucent blue area that comes to about here I'm gonna use the heat that's right here you can't even see where it's at but that's the area I'm gonna use and I'm just gonna lightly kind of tap that area onto the bits that I want to have more cells I want it's doing in my head in terms of e-science is heating up and thinning out the white that's on top while the resin that's under it is colder so it's kind of creating that dispersion in my head that's happening that's the e-science of it and so I'm just tapping that area that you can't even see in the bits that I want to disperse and give me some more cells perf perf perfect leaving it loving it so that is how I address having rocks and a structure and needing to have some crashing waves also if you wanted to create more of a texture more of something different I have my super awesome seafoam blend that I put on this one I don't even think I can peel it off I didn't put it down but oh there's some so you can create some textured bubbles stuck that right back on like I wanted to so all these are a texture I put it sideways you can probably see that it's not flat and so you can wait for this to cure use that seafoam blend and just kind of place some bubbles here which maybe I'll do tomorrow to kind of just add another level of awesome to the piece so maybe not tomorrow got stuff tomorrow Monday Monday if you would like leave me a note down in the comments about if you wanted me to do the seafoam blend on these rocks or maybe I'll film it this weekend because it's gonna have to be time-lapse anyways anyways um that's the video today hope you liked it let me take you down for a little bit too much Milky Way but needs the coral reef put in that I saw you do before yeah so this was just for demo purposes I very much would like to do another like underpainted coral reef definitely going to do that for you guys but for now is that a hair there is some Bowie DNA for whoever ends up buying this piece anyways so here's my wave you guys saw it was just one pass really quick heat but very intense heat and then our crashy wave here and so this rippled scallop look is because of the heat gun attachment I think this is called a wedding cake or the groom's cake on the website it is just concentrate our nozzle anyways hope you guys enjoyed this video if you did leave me your thumbs if you're not subscribed I don't know what you're doing with your life you're already here watching may as well subscribe I don't think you carry so yeah have an awesome weekend and we will see you guys on Monday be kind of one another cuz you never know what someone's going through and always remember we do the tests so you don't have to see I know I feel like I should extend the O's again but I felt like they kind of weren't your favorite things so I was like you say something directly after that oh yeah okay so you guys are amazing there's big boy Bowie talking to his dad oh big boy stretch alright you guys stay safe this weekend share my videos if you think they were sharing and don't forget about the sale and we have classes coming up we have poor with us kits all available on our website we'll see you guys next time bye we did buy didn't say bye bobo say bye yeah okay yeah he's he's over it yeah take him for a big boy
