 Alright, we're live with the results from last week's blow art. Yes, look at it. So we got the shell all done. Here, I pulled out all the silicone and I painted it in yellow. And then I'm starting to add in the pinks here. Do you see how I really like those pinks? And a bit of orange. So I'm going to brighten that up a lot. And then this was meant to be like water swishing by, right? And then we're going to have to draw the legs, some detail on the head. Let me sketch that right now. So I like sketching with the charcoal sticks. And I'll probably have to get a reference of what a turtle head looks like. I'm sure they have like a brow here or something, you know? So I'll start kind of... I'll get a reference to figure out what a turtle snout looks like. Do they wipe off easily? Yeah, these are great because they wipe off easily. But then also, if you do it along the edges, like if you do it on the edges and then you paint, it mixes into the paint and you can get these... You can get like dark... Yeah, shadowy effect, yeah. Okay, so what do you think? It doesn't have many cells, but I like how it looks. Yeah, I think it looks good. Yeah, and once it gets resin, it's going to be great. Okay, so next is the tool. I've been doing a lot of black outlines around everything. Okay, let's see it. So this tool, it's a calligraphy pen. It's a circle and it splits in the middle. Oh, okay. And what you do, it's the best thing for doing thick black lines that I've found. Let's get some alcohol ink over here. I'll do this side of her neck, but you just soak in the ink. But once I discovered this, it just changed everything because then you can do easy thick black lines. Look at that, eh? Isn't that amazing? Yeah, it's nice and smooth. And are there different sizes? Yeah, there's all different sizes, yep. So I'm just going to do all that. I'm noticing that the ink doesn't stick to gold. Look at this. Oh, yes, interesting. And I was going to do all the line work here, but so this is gold enamel paint. I wonder if the Posca marker or something. Oh, yes, I'll try the marker. Yeah. Okay, let me just do this head here. Look at that thick black line. It looks great. Yeah. Let me just finish the head since I got this going. Soon I'm going to have pieces ready to resin. Big pieces ready. Big day. Oh, yeah. I'm going to have lots. I took out all the paintings with the ones to finish. So I'm going to have like five paintings in here. Get something done, right? Okay, so that's the idea. Calligraphy pen. Okay. The circles at the end. Now, one more thing? Yeah. Okay. So the next thing is this is a piece that I've been working on for Rebecca. Because her dad was really into pigeons. And also, so what I did here. Yeah, and I added, I don't know if you can see it, but I put a bunch of this diffraction paper. Oh, yeah. I don't know if you've ever seen like a pigeon's neck is like purple and green usually and it looks like diffraction. So on all the pigeons, I have that and I'm hoping that when I resin it. So is it like cellophane? Yeah, it's just, I don't know if you see that. Oh, yeah. So I cut it into like little slivers and glued it on to all of the pigeons' necks. That's going to look awesome. Yeah, yeah. Will you resin all of this? Oh, yeah, this is all going to be resin, yeah. So the last, I'm almost done. I think that this part's almost done. Okay. I love the gold in that picture. I know, I know. And what I did is I mixed up some paint, gray and water. I just, I want this, the bottom part here to be dark. Okay. To be this blue part. So it's going to be a combination of putting it on and taking it off and seeing how much actually stays. Okay. Oh yeah. Yeah, like I said, I don't want it to be super dark. Yeah, so all this just darken it a little bit. And I'll probably do the opposite and I'll add more light up there too. Okay. Cause that's when you go to your art galleries, you notice that things have contrast. They look amazing. So that's just paint and water? This is just acrylic paint and water. They're like a better already. Yeah, yeah. And then you just put it up on the wall and you look at it for a bit and say, okay, yeah, that needs to be heavier. And I'll probably come in with the white marker and like fix up some of this. Yeah. And make it more defined. Yeah, exactly. And then maybe going with the black marker too and a couple of bits of bright color. Cool. I don't know if I should cover in these, see those four flowers? I see those, yeah. Yeah. And I guess the idea is like this is Rebecca's dad. There's four of us in my family. Yeah. Four flowers. I just was going with fours for this one. Yeah. Okay. I'll just dip it in the white paint. That looks great, dude. Yeah. But I want to kind of take more off of the top here. Okay. And blend it in together. Just a bit. Yeah, so it's a bit more blended. And that's anything that looks a bit much. There you go. What do you think I got? I think that looks fantastic. And I like the yellow and the, yeah, I like all the different colors. Nails and blues and them. It's so close to being done. It's so close. Perfect. So look there for a bit. Do you have time for one more thing? Sure. So it's this piece I want to show you. It's on there. Okay. So this one, the stage that we're at with it is, where's that piece of charcoal? Right here. Oh, thank you. See, I just was coming in and I'm starting to add some shape. Okay. See, like it looked like her knee hits here. So we put that in and you can see that we kind of have her growing here. So just some darkness there, right? Okay. And then this is one foot. It looks okay, but I'm wondering if the other foot should be like here now. Off in the distance, you know? Yeah. I used to have it here, but it almost feels like this wasn't it. The other knee right there, right? Yeah. It looks just more spread out. That was a better and more natural. Yeah. Anything else looking weird? Like I feel like the shoulder goes here. Does she have a nose or is she looking away? I haven't decided yet. What do you think? Like it looks like the nose should be like right there. Yeah. I'm not sure. I gotta do a bit of work on the face. I hate doing faces. It's so hard for me to look at it. You've been practicing faces. Have you not? Or body parts? Yeah. Just got to practice. Should the other hand like you see it back here or something, you know? Yeah. Maybe I'll cover this up with blue. But that's the next step for that one. I love it. That's not coming in. I like this gold around the edge as well. Yeah. Should I paint the edges black or leave that part cool? No. Okay. Sweet. Yeah. Okay. I hope that was helpful. All right. It was. Yeah. Keep painting day 51, right? Day 51. Okay. Almost there.
