 Welcome back to being a 32-year-old lady. I want to paint something today because I honestly when I started making painting videos I had expressed to you that it's because I've never really explored any type of art really and I was doing it just to try it and I at the time really felt that the paintings that we created together were really shit and I actually hated some of them but we wound up putting them in the house and it makes me feel completely different. It's like how every home renovation show you ever watched they like make them do something that's personal to them or make something to hang on a wall and we've done that. We've actually hung up a lot of the art that we've done together and it makes it feel like special and homey in here. I don't know even if I didn't really think that it came out particularly good when I hang it in the house I'm like we made that together like I made that and it makes me feel proud. I don't know I feel like a little kid like when your mom hangs yourself up on the fridge you know except you're an adult you're 32 old lady you're doing it for yourself. I'll show you a couple of the places that we hung up stuff. So that is the abstract painting that Julie and I did together and at the time I was like it doesn't look that cool but now that it's hung up on the wall I'm like I actually love it look at it. My aunt just sent me some actual paintings that she did. Yeah art doesn't look like great compared to hers but you know what it's not about death. It's about having wonderful amazing art that you family made. She's so talented and once I got that mail she sent us a bunch of other ones. I was like I need to keep painting is what I need to do. What did I call this one? This would call stop it or something like that. Like I didn't I didn't really like stop it and it's just like a board but stop it when placed with other things in your home. I'm actually like I really like them. I think that they look so beautiful and then over here like it looks lovely here. You can't tell that I struggled and had such a weird time making it. It just looks nice. Here's our acrylic pours. One is hanging up and one fell down but that's not what matters. Even the paintings that I was like this sucks it's not even good. Once I put it in my house and I let it give me all of the feel good feelings. I'm like you know what I have some bathrooms that could pull little something in you know and it would make me feel really happy and good and remember all of the good times that I had splashing paint around. One of the types of paintings that people have been requesting me to do the most is you cover the canvas in a color and then you dip a string in it and just pull it and it makes this really cool pattern. So it seems like the perfect art form for me. Much like acrylic pouring or abstract painting with a knife because I'm just not that gifted in terms of drawing. I'm gonna do one little one Julian's gonna do a little one and then we'll do one together so that we can have something bigger to hang in like a bigger space. It's not just a pretty picture but it's a memory. It's a memory. These are the paints that we got because they now sell acrylic paint inside of squishy bags. Who can say no to that? We got an assortment of colors. I doubt we're gonna use them all but we like to have choices in this house. Am I right Julian? Painting brings out my inner Aries and it brings out your inner Virgo so I'm excited to see who thrives in this string environment. You probably are. This is also my last hurrah on this table. We did buy this table online about a year ago and I think I was a little confused as to what exactly the top of it was made out of because it stains very easily. Drink a coffee on it, remember it forever. You cover your canvas in whatever color you're going to use. This is thick. Like should I thin this out? No one even like said in their YouTube videos they just show like having paint on there and then pulling a string. Was this supposed to be like remember when we did the pores and you like thin the paint out? Oh this is gonna be shit. Everyone in the comment. You're supposed to thin the paint out first. I didn't know no one said to. Back to the drawing board. So we didn't buy a thinner because I honestly didn't even think about it but apparently you can take a little bit of water with these paints and thin them out. I also just learned to hack on YouTube that you can try using a little olive oil or dish soap. I don't know whatever you want basically to make some little cells in there. I don't know. You know what here we go. Oh my god. Cooking but not really. So as you can see I've made black oily olive oil water. It's all part of the painting process is wasting all your paint right? No yeah no. There we go. If you want to help me do the same thing with the yellow and blue and a little olive oil because we're we're taking a walk on the art wild side just call me a rebel. Damn rebellious artist. I'm gonna cut four strings. I don't really care how long they are. I'm just gonna try and do my best. So I've been getting inspired a lot by other people's string paintings and I will say I appreciate the ones that look very floral like just the straightforward ones but the ones that like really make me feel inspired are the ones that are a little more like abstract than that. All right the string isn't that like bendy. I want it to be like that. I don't know. That looks good. Damn art. What's the matter? Damn. Okay now is where the magic string stuff happens. So I'm gonna pull these off whatever way I feel like. I want to do it like that. That's cool. Wow I feel so creatively fulfilled. That is so rad. This is the kind of art that like little kids can do. That's the kind of art that I'm looking for. Oh my god that's so dope. So now I'm not done. Oh god. Oh god. It's everywhere. How did it get inside my glove? I think I want to take like two longer ones and then run yellow through it. Oh this is too long. Oh my god. I'm kind of dumb you know like the length of the string isn't really appropriate for this size painting. I just had a grand idea and you know what it doesn't make any sense. I don't want to pull it like straight out though. I want it to be like around. Ladies? Damn who is she? It's a wave. It's very cool. I want to make one more yellow one. Yeah those strokes are like really rad looking. All right ruining it. I'm ruining it. I ruined it. I ruined it. Look at this. Look what I've done. Oh my goodness. I like any style of painting that's first and foremost like really fun. This is fun. He's going on a journey. Oh Jenna's playing Snape. He's going on a journey. Wow what a journey. Damn. He's turning around. Oh damn you're bringing it back. I mean it's not exactly like the ones that you see on the internet but you know what like it's really fun to do. I mean just like every piece of art that I make I this to really hate it but once we hang it up I'm sure I'll grow to appreciate it. I'm gonna take one of my one of my blue boys out back for a ride. Oh no okay too much gene coming in hot. He's the blue boy out for a ride. Oh did you just throw that? Hell yeah. I don't care. I don't care. Do you care? I'm a dangerous lady. Careful with the too much gene here. You might get some muddy. Yeah yeah. Oh god okay. I think we're done here. I've done all that was necessary. I think it's beautiful. Do you like it? I love it. What's it called? Salad by Jenna. Salad? All right it's your turn. Me? Yeah. Oh shit. I don't know where you're gonna paint though because I've pretty much ruined this entire area. I'm doing a white base coat. Oh I like that because I'm just fun and different. It's white mixed with olive oil so it's a little sepia and chunky. Oh it's Chunk City my dude. Chunk in the front. You want to chunk it to him a little bit? Nice art knife. Thanks it's also a butter knife. They really made this seem a lot easier. Oh god. It has dimension. I like your style. It's thought provoking. Oh it's getting me thinking. You're using like a thinner weight string. I'm using a thinner weight string. I'm gonna do a different method too. Oh a different method be. I'm gonna just pour the paint on the string. You're dangerously close to the edge. Not that it matters because we're getting rid of this table. Look at all these drink stains. Get a nice coffee. Drink it once. Live with it forever. Like I did not buy a table that needs coasters. I am not a coaster person. If I can't drink the coffee on it I don't want it. I like the color you chose already. It's really nice. Oh wait that's cool as hell. Why did yours come out so tight? Julien's mine. I really am enjoying your color palette. It makes me feel like Easter's always here. Nice. Is that what you're gonna call this? It's gonna be called Easter's always here. Oh he's brave. Ready? Yeah hell yeah. Whoa stunning. Minimal. It's minimalistic. My art is the only part of my life that's minimalistic. It's also very three-dimensional. Babe don't shoot from that angle. Okay. Shoes topped out. Okay. Minimal. Minimal style maximum paint. I don't know should I do one more string maybe? Up to you. I'm gonna do it like very spirally. That is directly on the table. Julien. You know. Oh my god. Hey babe. Julien. What? Babe Julien. Oh shit. See. Whoa. That's beautiful. That was a spiral. Julien it's really pretty. Do you like it? Yeah I like it a lot. I think it needs to come out of it. I feel like I made a mess now that I'm looking at yours. It looks beautiful. Yours is chaotic and there's beauty and chaos. Thank you. Trust me I know. I feel like our art is backwards as people. Like you make the art that people would think that I made and I make the art that people think you would make. I mean I could make it like people would think I make. No no no no no Julien don't ruin that. Julien do you want to do our joint art project now? Yes please. So I mixed together some white. Hopefully this is thin enough. I really took my time and I hope I made enough but we should be able to just see. Can I spread it? I was gonna tip it around. Oh that's smart. You're smart. Whoa. Maybe I didn't make enough. We have like a bright pink. We have a turquoise kind of. Love it. And we have a surge green. How's it look? We're done. We're done. What if we take the knife and do it like this? I mean it's a technique I haven't seen anyone use before but you know what you do you. Sometimes when you use a cup you know you can just like hold the cup without crushing the cup. Are you ready? I'm ready. I'm ready. Okay what color do you want to start with? I don't know I should be responsible for one color per hand tops. Why don't you do the surge green? Where should I put it? It's our painting so you get to also decide. No no no that's your call. I wouldn't leave me with that much responsibility. Do it. Me lady. You ready? Oh you did it. So you want me to do mine now too? I don't know you told me to do it. Maybe I told you to do it. We're doing it. Love it. Wow. Should I add another green one? Do you want to do it one at a time? Your call. Do it one at a time so you get the same strain. Yeah yeah. I guess. Ready go. So much more like confident than mine. Your color is so sick. It makes me feel like this painting is actually plugged into electricity. It's like boom jolt. Do you have paints on your hands? I love a nice calm art piece for the home. Little turkey turquoise. Little turkey. I'm filling up the corner space with surge. What are you fighting? All right I'm gonna pull this into the coral color. Whoa. Oh I love it. I'm gonna take a page out of your book and pull this one with some more confidence. Yes have a plan and just go. It came out better than my other one. Yes see. I just want to take both my hands and smash them into it really bad. Why do you turn into an Aries when it comes to art? I don't know. Wow that one had some gusto on it. More green anywhere? Does it need more green? Yeah it needs a big big old Hulk piece of green right in the middle. In the middle? Yeah yeah yeah. That looks so good. Does it need more green? It needs more green again. Just similar to a minute ago it still needs more green. I'm going over my green with more green. I hope you like green. It's the only color that I'm responsible for. Honestly Jenna you're killing it. It looks like beautiful leaves. I feel like this painting is very green heavy because I only am responsible for one color. Excuse me I need some green. Damn I was saying. No I hate it. I hate it. That was dope. I ruined it at the top. That one was bad and I got it on your old painting. It's okay. I hate salad. I like that. Does it need more green? Can you tell me where it needs green? I'm making a mess. Wait I don't like what I'm doing. I think you should be in charge. You're making a feather. Yeah it's really pretty. Wow good for you. I think we should stop. What about some black? Well no no see no what's gonna happen is you're gonna crowd it and then all of the beauty that we've created just gets drowned out. It doesn't it does not compute. Okay go wash your hand. I think honestly I think what we should do is do a thumb print. Mine's gonna be green right? That's really cute. My signature is green. For the amount of green I have on my fingers I'm upset with my signature. Okay now we're gonna play frisbee with it while it's wet. I hate it. What do you mean you hate it? It's really nice. I was doing the Simba thing. I'm not Simba. Not yet. I don't know what that is. You need to keep your distance from the painting. I can't control myself. You need to not. I can't. No no no burr buzzer went off. It's over. Time's up. I like I don't know how you just uh you stop. Stop. But I want to keep touching it. Slowly take a step away. I was enjoying myself and then you're telling me suddenly I have to stop enjoying myself just so I don't ruin it. Why don't you get an iPad that has an undo button because there is no undo button here. But iPads don't feel like this. You know what? It's just a vicious cycle of the enjoyment of feeling it and doing it and then I hate it so then I keep doing it so I try to feel better and then I hate it. Can I cut it? Just for scissors. Can I just take that knife with black on it and just smear it one time? If you do that, might as well take my signature off it but then it wouldn't be my piece. Come on it looks good. It's okay. It'll take a week to dry. You see how thick Yeah who's fault is that? Yours. Yeah you right. Yeah you right. Are you ready for the art tour? Yes. It's the gallery. Are you ready? Kermit we're doing an art tour. Okay do you want to see the art? Come here. First of all let's show the mess. So this is our joint painting. I think it came out really nice. I like it because Julian is somehow very skilled at this and I am not and so there's a lot of Julian in this painting that I enjoy. This is salad. It came out like an abomination but I love it anyways. You know what that looks like? What? Twitter dark mode. I think it looked really great in like a guest bathroom where I don't have to go. It's dark and ominous and it honestly makes me feel like a piece of shit so I'm hopefully gonna look at it ever again. That's Julian's painting. Would you call it Easter is Forever? Yeah Easter is forever. No I'm calling it floor to floor. Okay floor to floor. I actually really like that one because it shows restraint and self-control. Something that I don't have outside of art. And that I clearly don't have it all inside of art. What is going on? I don't know. I really just honestly I want to like punch this one really bad. No no no don't punch it. There's still like wet paint and it's like ready to be played with. I'm just like that kid you know in kindergarten when they fill up bins with like watering cornstarch and one's got sand in it and one's got buttons and everything else is like this is fun and then walks away and I'm over there just going like this all day. It's over. It's done. It's done. I think it's not. If I walk away are you gonna mess with it? I just can't look at it. Don't look at it just look at me. This is our painting we made together. I like it. Clearly. I want to touch it still. I feel like any art that like a little kid can do is something that I enjoy. So I enjoyed pulling the strings. I just have no self-control and can't actually stop. But I genuinely like the way that they look when they're done and as they're like settling and you can see more of the lines and I don't know. I just think it's really pretty. Yeah I'm glad that we did it and thank you guys for suggesting it and encouraging me to continue on my art journey even though it's a little too hard for me because I just wanted to like react to everything. Hello? Bunny is your first art video. She's like, fuck this. What are you guys doing? Oh fuck that shit. Honestly I would recommend this style to anybody. Like it's super easy. It's super fun and I really think what we made looks very nice even though I want to keep touching it but I'm not going to unless you turn around in which case good luck. No, no. Salad's going in the guest room. All right well make sure you subscribe to my channel. I put it in a visitor's Wednesday slash Thursday and if you do this tweet it at me because I'd really like to see how much better yours come out than mine. But you know what? I had a good time and that's all that matters. So oh here she comes. Hey what are you doing? Hi Bunny. At least two times in a row. Seriously? See you guys next week. Hey Noah. Shut up. Hand off. No don't. Doesn't make you nervous. Noah.
