 Ready I'm live. Oh, hi everybody. I was just trying to see if I can get you to curse She does talk nasty Dad gumfab words big fat work talker. I got to be a quirked up or yelling at Amazon greetings morning FedEx. So y'all I've been seeing a lot of geometric type pieces over pores and I want to do one because you know how I get when I'm like I could do that We're gonna see if I could do that. So today we're going to be fixing two pieces with masking tape and gold leaf Yeah, we got real ahead of ourselves and went ahead and mass this one off So we're gonna mess this one off with you guys. So you can see Wow So first things first you have to have a poor Ideally for this type of art you would want a negative space for and You're gonna basically figure out a shape that goes in and out of Your piece for purposes of ease. I'm only doing straight line things Because I don't have to worry about making a perfect circle for example Let's do like this. Let's do we can either do like a chalk pen or this It's where you can see That's gonna work Hey y'all, thank you guys for coming in and seeing what we're up to today. I Hope you'll love it like we do It's hot and humid. Yeah, it's that way here, too What tape is Jeff using? Basically car Pen striping tape. It's just the other kind that can bend as you go. Yeah, like you can You can literally bend this stuff It's what they make flames with Sticks really well All right, so what we want to do now is just kind of figure out the in and the out basically I want this to be out because I love the look of this I wanted to go under it. I want this to be out Here since it's a solid point Yeah, yeah You want you can do here that's gonna be also over Yeah, I'm gonna say let's leave this one over because you need to have some overages Yeah, so what's happening Hi, everyone. Thanks for coming in and seeing what we're up to today. We are making some awesome Upgrades to some of our pores that we've had for a while Yeah We set it up right but Well, that'll just show us what it would look like so you're right But I'm just saying what the point of this skinny tape was just to see So I hope everyone is having an awesome today if you don't know where artists till death we go live every day usually Usually at 6 p.m. Central so for on Tuesdays that 2 p.m. Central here lately we've Thought we would take the weekends off Because we have been very busy bees I Loaded a second exacto situation. You never want to cut with a dull knife. That's how accidents happen I am feeling better. I Was not At all feeling okay yesterday Definitely feeling better today So Betty what we're doing is we are taping off Areas so that we can put some gold geometric You can see it's kind of Right exactly over top if you've ever done your eyeliner and it got away from you because You're like I'm just gonna have a little bit here a little bit here. It's gonna be amazing. It's not it's not gonna be amazing You're gonna end up with two black eyes At least that's what happens to me. So we're covering back up the areas where we want the gold to be under The design and we're leaving open the areas where we want the gold to go over the design So it's gonna look like it's Going inside outside. It's gonna be a whole mood. It's gonna be amazing It's not gonna take that long to do this is just an easy way to level up your artwork Yeah, and if you notice you just tore this side so that'll give like a more rustic looking edge So, yeah We good. Do we love it? I'm gonna start. Let's do the thing but what's gonna happen now is We're gonna use this stuff as an adhesive for our Gold leaf It's like the bottle with the lady on it Car pinstripers like industrial version of yeah Mm-hmm. Yeah Ducks paint quick dry gilding size Some people say that they can add because it's very clear That you could add maybe just a hint of yellow to it That better or not that you could add just a hint of yellow to it Just so you can kind of see where you've put it. I'm not sure how this stuff does but If you ever want to do that with your It looks like oil ball The bottle with the lady speed ball Mona Lisa Mona Lisa. Yeah, I'm planning on flood coding after The only thing is I'm not sure if this glue is oil base I think I think it's a oil base. So you might want to be careful. You might want to test this Well, this one will be the test to see if I can flood over it Paint it on this stuff stays. It says it leave it for an hour to three hours for it to Start being tacky What I liked about it when I saw the guy using it on the video He pulled just I mean he put a Whole line down with this paintbrush and you can see it because he how he had it how he had it angled And it was on a dark piece of What do you call it car? So you can really see This just seems a lot thicker than Mona Lisa When they can it looks like It's like castor oil. Yeah, like a lacquer But when you put it down, it's not Can't even see it Not even close. Yeah, we can You want to use Mona Lisa for the other one we might need to just hit it with the heat gun, right? So we're gonna try to speed this up. I'm not using too much heat. I don't want to scorch it Right right away. We're dry it too fast. I have the heat all the way up But the airflow on the lowest setting pulling a little bit You can touch over here. It's A little techier wasn't sure if we should do Like the variegated leaf or that leaf or the stuck-on leaf or the loose leaf Just grab that one. I don't know why it's in parts Did you glue that Paper down it's okay, Bowie It's just a straggler from outside Just tap that a little bit down. Did you sand the piece first? I didn't just because it was the last second It always helps your resin pieces if there's tooth if you're gonna flood it Honestly since this is a funk not a functional piece. It's a wall art I don't really have any concern about delamination if it was functional piece No question. I would have sanded Probably best to sand better safe than sorry, but I did not on this one Stephanie says we know it's Mona Lisa, but will forever be known as the bottle with the lady on it It's cut all the way up. What did we do this for? If you're just doing in small sections, and you're not putting it down and it blowing away or ripping or Like you're reducing the chance of a whole piece getting destroyed Ducing the odds of ways. Oh, we don't like to waste around here waste not better. I'm so excited to see how it's gonna turn out Brilliant idea for the heat gun Because waiting one to three hours is for the birds The open cans making nervous as I get sticky all over my fingers While Jeff is making sure everything is stuck fully down. I'm just gonna Brayer it's over there So this is a brayer and its job is to make sticky things sticky downy Yeah, it's just a rubber roller And it makes things and more contact Yeah more even contact is the time to see a moment of truth I don't know Judy Should we do this one and let this one set and then come and then peel tape after we get Everything down on the this one Say again. Oh, yeah, cuz these were already cut into half sheets Thank You Pamela for reminding people to Jeff has a super happy face on his face right now Hold on everybody and I'll give you a view of what's happening with Jeff if I can figure out the this There it is So Jeff is using Something a paper cutter to cut a whole bunch of tea tiny gold strips It is perfect. And so the point of this is reducing waste Because if you see here All of that that stuck to the tape That's not within that tape line that we did All right, I've had a tiny guys back up so all we needed was this Area right in here And so all of this I'm gonna try to peel it off and save it But ultimately would be waste and so just trying to cut some strips that are just big and bigger than these ones here so when we lay the gold down on to this It won't It won't come up. So if I would have used a spray adhesive on this all of this gold would be stuck and Unusable and then so we didn't do that. I'm just gonna pull these bits Surprise boycats not over here. I have some safe bits. Hello Kimba. Cheers so Now that we're gonna be done with this and for a minute We're just gonna let this set up For the amount of time it takes to apply the gold onto the bigger one And then we'll pull the tape on the smaller one with you guys See and that Mona Lisa would have been Dried by now this brush probably would have been It would have been a rock probably Brilliant to cut into the strips. Hi, Ida. I know right Betty Kimba says nice. I just started getting into abstract painting. Well, welcome glad to have you Mike says get some imitation gold one shot to tint the sides. You can see where you put it since it's clear Yeah, I I just learned of Gold leafing Like there's a couple guys that I follow on tiktok That I was really surprised that they actually told me what they used You guys I thought the art world was past Being crappy to other artists what okay, let me back up. I do not think that artists that Keep their secrets to themselves are crappy. I think if you come up with something and It's original to you and you want to keep it a secret then go for it a billion dollars My issue is when you're rude to people that are getting into art or use it for Like art therapy or whatever it is Just don't be crappy to people That's all I ask Don't be crappy and You could smell the oil in this so we should probably open a window. I think I actually said that on the Can It is ducks You're teaching Gary to fry okra to Judy right now. Oh, that's Fantastic is he making you a fresh loaf of bread? I hope so ps speed recovery for Judy While she rests on her sofa The masters did not keep secrets. This is true Hi Kelly welcome Agreed Joe So is this done being painted on all right just making sure of why you're walking around with the paintbrush Yeah, can we do that after the live maybe in the bottom of the pantry Come spirit spirit do Could acetone be okay for him He did that's funny They're crappy to people Erica and I'll figure it out and share it. This is true. Listen If it is something that someone worked really hard on and they it's classified or whatever It's something that It's not hard to just help people out when especially if they're just starting out, you know People ask us if we're gonna get on like Paid sites and all this patreon. Everybody asks us where our patreon is And ultimately we're here to help people to grow their style Patrion would be amazing, but what happened over here, babe, did you well? I moved them because a heat gun would have blown them anyways So these are the strips Jeff cut in the gold leaf So the best way to do this if you can leave them leave them in your In between each of these You know, that's basically why you cut them. So then you just Lay them out My side it's gonna be very patchworky because I'm just picking up the strays The thing is I want it to be like So if you can just get them like this go to the very bottom one there That's gonna be difficult for Let's try not to grab so much. Let's just do like a couple of these little guys Okay, so Jeff has a whole fan My hands are sticky I'm just trying to like fan it to where I can get one like that Where it's just kind of loose Make sure it's straight on there It's like a pest dispenser, but of gold leaf Now you made it Hello, Melissa. I Don't know what that is Mike Plus karma for sure. Hello, Melly So Jeff's just putting a little piece of gum out and letting the sticky take it Guess what it looks like when you just have like just it looks like someone just takes a gum out Joel that sounds amazing for dinner. Did everybody have an awesome today? Hope so So Jeff really wants to avoid any seams really And we're gonna brayer all of it in and I want to get one of those varnish or Varnish, I don't know. It's a little thing. That's like You can use like It's like five thousand grit sandpaper or something that you just cut a circle Five thousand you wait till this is dry obviously all the way dry or you can use like Almost maybe like Cotton Sometimes cotton works or but it's like a very firm pad of Whatever that stuff is That is legit very legitimate And try not to Don't don't push your finger Don't give it pressure and pull it along because you might stretch it you might break it because of this stuff being still moist You just don't know It's so there's like a small amount of air in here It's just gonna grab one of these and like Flail it It's a good word. I just really want to show people that there's no ruined art. There's no Art fail. There's no No None of that if your piece doesn't sell Just evaluate it look at it compared to pieces that did sell what's different And if you can't figure out why a piece wouldn't sell because you like it and you can't figure out why What the deal is add to it just a little bit like we're doing we're adding Something a little bit more Well, I guess it's a retro and now What album cover has something like this nirvana Pink Floyd pink Floyd. Yeah So now Jeff is brayer in it in but I'm just lightly pushing it. I'm just using this side. I'm not like they can't find a I'm just trying to use. I mean, I know it's all flat, but I'm just trying to push a little pressure down on here. Well, and this is a canvas So you have to be kind of particular about what you're doing and We just put the glue down so it may not be a hundred percent dry everywhere and you don't want it to tug Keep that in mind Students don't get impatient if you're if you're an impatient person Do this and just go do something else go do a load of laundry or the dishes or watch a One episode a season of American horror story. I don't know what what you kids watch these days Good point Judy If something doesn't sell hang it in the toilet no one puts nice things in the toilet Your pink Floyd pink has this the one that was in the jury show I love that piece isn't it looked really good really good Let's show them what we got I'm gonna say just that I'm still trying to figure out why Pieces I don't like sell and the ones I like take longer to sell. I Cannot even explain to you how much I understand what you're saying and how frustrated it makes me Because it's always the piece that we're like, hmm Let's not take this one to this show and then we have a little bit of room left in our truck or whatever And so we decided to bring our last effort pieces And they always tell first they got to a point where we're like, we should just have a A stuff we don't like show and Just sell out with it. I'm sorry Gail Judy wasn't getting her notifications either. And so she just set an alarm for six o'clock every day and Impatient person now doing laundry. Well, here's the thing I'm bad at doing laundry My favorites go in the dining room till they sell and people ask me what will happen if it doesn't sell I always say I'll hang it in the toilet and they always act offended like it's too good. Well, they can buy it Pull away from the gold. Yeah, so that if it is attached to it if you pull it like this It'll peel it. Yeah, I could peel some of it off I'll definitely pull away from it like that. So now he's using just a fluffy brush. You can use a makeup brush They sell brushes that are specifically for Bubba, what are you doing? He's gonna be lazy and protecting it protect us. What are you doing little tater tot? You guys hear him? Okay, hold on I'll help you Okay Is it new? No Like it hasn't been moved. It looks like it Okay What adhesive did you use this adhesive was by ducks? I don't even know if I'm saying it, right? Ducks quick dry gilding so it's like a car Level of the lady with I mean the bottle with the lady We could do one with it thicker on one side to make it have a force perspective for sure Great idea on this piece beautiful I didn't buy a special brush just use one from five below. Yeah, absolutely you can yeah, you can get an eyeshadow brush This is for this is for gold leaf as you can see it's pretty dense and What it does is it it'll it'll take those little edges off without scratching it. I Would just wait For two or three hours after to take it off anyway, so I Love how it looks now. Let's see what the bear So since this is an oil-based Adhesive I'm not gonna flood these till tomorrow So that's probably what I'll do on tomorrow's live is flooding oil-based Shenanigans adhesives and what to do How to seal it in further etc That's gorgeous gonna have to go back and watch what I missed so much inspiration. Well, thank you I definitely did not come up with this idea No idea who did But I definitely Hope you're all inspired by this and Want to give it a go? It's fun It's fun to do stuff like this because for one It takes a little time a little precision and it kind of gets you out of your norm It's just relaxing it definitely will break you out of your norm We kind of forget about time when you're doing something like this Mm-hmm. I have a great source for foil and foil adhesives Am I allowed to share Mellie? I don't think it will let you add a link But if you like type in a name and then space and Yeah, so if you do it So for example, if I was going to share artist till death calm. I would do artist till death space dot space calm because it's just not going to let you add a link unless you're a moderator um if they want Like some people To represent them affiliates for their foils and adhesives That would be even better Because anytime as an artist you can diversify your revenue streams. It's good for business Just as an artist making a living with art I'm just saying So now we're gonna dust this one off and see what we got Hi, John. What size canvas is that? I believe it's 18 by 36. Yeah. Hey Valerie. How are you doing? I would say a I'd say a 15 by 30. Maybe maybe 15 by 30. Well, it's like here you go I normally pretty good. Yeah, this is 18 by 30 15 15 by 30 15 by 36 normally it's 18 by 36, but usually they're all divisible by the other side Well, uh, I love painting on these And my husband gets a promotion. He's up for I make what working in art full-time Well, I hope so Susan only because I know that you love to art and you're very good at it Love this. It's gorgeous. Love that. Love it. It's beautiful. Awesome. Awesome. Take my fur girls out for their walk Gail have an awesome walk. Give your little fur girls a hug from us Looks like modern abstract art. I love it Reach out to them. Maybe still send you some stuff. You can work to that together on stuff Melly, can you send me an email with their link and I can reach out to them Is that I'll call like no, this is in a resin pour from many moons ago This is so old, but I think it needs to be more a harder line You know what I'm saying? Like this is just very weak right here If it were to come out through here You know because you don't see Mm-hmm. Yeah, I see that Hey tg That added so much just a touch of the gold geometry Agreed stunning. Thank you Love this scale of it. I do too. I think it works out really nice So as soon as Jeff is done dusting off, um, I'll have him hold it up so you can see it And all this vertical glory If you have some pieces that are sticking up you can push into it and that's what Kind of flakes it off breaks it down some trying to paint it off and probably just pushing it down A lot of times I think you have to use Like a rough brush edge Oh, yeah, let me come on this side and so it can catch in the gold Well, that's obviously not the right sticker No, no I love it. Hey, bubba And so then also the smaller one It's just something to give a little bit Of a something extra to a piece that just hasn't moved quite yet I love having These breakaways breakthroughs these open ended areas where it comes out or goes under And just splashes that just enhances the movement to me just a little bit I love it. I love it Love it. I will do a top leaf To seal these in do you want to just get a Tupperware for those? Because they're just gonna fold if you try to stuff them in there No Mm-hmm Do you want me to get you a I'm gonna go get a Tupperware You're not right big boy Okay, fine so Anyways, I will be flooding these but since the This that I used is oil based I want to give this at least 24 hours to just Air out and hopefully it won't give me any issues when I try to flood it and seal it in Hopefully I love flat versus shining blown out versus sharp lines. Love it, right? Thank you Thank you Completely changed the piece. Love it. Just the classiest touch. Thank you So I invite all of you guys to give this a shot If you like either of these pieces, they are currently for sale shoot me an email if you want pricing On these or any other pieces that we do And I hope you guys have and An awesome evening The circle piece in the background. That's beautiful. I don't know what circle piece Anyways, you guys have an awesome evening And we will see you guys tomorrow where I will attempt to flood over something That apparently has a little bit of oil in it, but I'm hoping after it's got Gold on it Right, why would they have something oily around the cars? Oh, I forgot to show you guys. Um, because of how we laid it The seams are a little bit difficult to see I haven't found one yet I know I will anyways Yeah, I'm still working on finishing that one You could have used speedball adhesive for the gold leaf absolutely, but we wanted to try this one out So just what we did You can pull a straighter, longer, smoother line with that than the speedball This is for, um, pulling lines on cars and use Mineral spirits to clean your brush if you use this anyways You guys have an awesome evening We'll see you all tomorrow Be kind of on another because you never know what someone's going through and always remember We do the tests So you don't have to is it too much? It's too close All right. Well, we'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye Mm-hmm
