 Goes live there's a switchy around II but then What's that be? It's time to pour it's time to pour may have to switch around. I don't want it just on me though So you want me to like Do you want me to just do it like this all time? Okay It's not bad. I'll just do it like this You don't so you guys we're pouring again today Well as you know Thanks switching it around. Hey, Lou. Hello, Anthony and glad you guys made it So this is the one that we did yesterday. So okay, let me start over in this video We are going to show you how we prep our canvases and Then we're gonna do a pour it's all gonna happen on the same video We're gonna wait for some more people to chime in. This is fresh out the bag artists district heavy-duty canvas Howdy y'all This is the one we did yesterday It turned out really well. Let's walk over to the light Super flat The colors are great. The cells are amazing Really excited about this piece So thank you Greg for this Amazing board. It's completely bananas. We need to he probably should Stand the edges a little like make sure they're flush and then I would just Rout all the way around and not stop Because some places you can see it on the corners them corners And then some some of like he did a little bit and some were needed some more So let's get back over here It is five like 20 Here in Dallas it is a gorgeous day in the neighborhood It's in the mid upper City life. It's in the mid upper Yeah, it's like 80s Karen, I'm glad you could tune in. I know you're upset that you missed one or two So basically it's ideal Hi from Germany my dad's from Germany, but I don't spreck and Zee at all He tried to teach me, but I failed Anyways, let's get down to brass tax Brass tax. Yeah, isn't that a thing? I think it's a thing I'm gonna call it a thing. I just need this for just a second. What's that be? Sand a canvas real quick You're gonna get started. I'm down to get started. Let's get started. It's gonna be a long video anyway You guys have probably all tried to pour on a canvas that didn't really turn out the way you wanted it to because It dips in the middle because of the weight of obviously The paint whether it's an acrylic for or a resin for It doesn't stay exactly how you would want it to because it dips in the middle because science well Because Jeff is an airbrush artist and he has to work on very tight canvases And very smooth canvases he figured out a way To tighten the canvas and make it more ideal for Paint pours well more idea ideal for his airbrush Coincidentally, it's also really ideal for paint pours. So What he did first was sand it with a 220 grit sandpaper you can get this at any hardware store. I'm pretty sure and and After you do that you paint it. He's using a foam brush The reason why he uses a foam brush is because it won't leave streaks like a regular paint brush probably might And those things The paint we're using is kills you can use gesso if you want to we use house paint Just because we have so much of it That's my just a beam. That's the key is that My gesso is really thin and I don't I don't know that if it makes it It gives it that that much of a stiffness to it when it dries. I'm pretty sure the Reason why it tightens up the way it does because of the house paint. It's a lot thicker paint Just a great thin Just being says cool hat. So we use kills. It's super thick. So after he does the first coat He hits it with the heat gun, which is you can't let it air dry the rapid Heat application like tightens the canvas. It's one of the key parts, right? Yes, I know That's I thought you said like the bigger stuff if you let it air dry it tightens I think Well, we're impatient also so heat gun Karen it is after five in our neck of the woods, which makes it okay for everybody to have a glass of wine or A beverage of your choice Must be 21 to drink drive responsibly and all the other things they like to say Also because of all the amazing Contributions that we've had lately. I took a cue from Anne-Marie Ritterhoff who is the most precious little lady on the internet She does a list like this whenever she does a giveaway, I think actually she does like a monthly Giveaway Anyways So she makes a list like this for her Contribution people and so I thought I would do that. We're doing the contributor giveaway on April 22nd. We'll have a live feed Sorry if that's loud We'll have a live feed giveaway for that On the 22nd probably around 6 p.m. I'll let you guys know closer to the date. Also once we hit 5,000 subscribers We're gonna Oh, we're only 100 away from 5,000 So at 5,000 subscribers, we're gonna do another subscriber wide giveaway for you guys you guys And we're almost there we're at like a hundred people left So get out there and share and stuff. Oh Miss Lauren said we're at 4.8 So we're at like 200 away Easy killer So also because we're doing Resin and it's super heavy. We do two coats. So he sanded it After it dried, which doesn't take long with a heat gun And now he's doing second coat and he's gonna dry it and sand it and then it should be good to go For the first time like a first like when you open up the canvas because they're normally pretty rough Sand it with a 220 Hit it with the paint dry it Hit it with the 220 again, and then you can use 400 and that makes it really smooth
