 Alright you guys Even though Jeff and I are away on our third anniversary cruise I didn't want to leave you guys hanging. I wanted to post something still every day for at least 365 Gotta have goals, right? So I'm posting something for you every day on this channel Either a demo or a product review or a new kind of artwork or new technique New color something every day just in case We don't have a very good cell service on the ship and Can't livestream or post Since we are going into a tornado hurricane Thunderwave whatever I Don't know who knows what will happen. So I wanted to be sure so I'm gonna post something every day And you know they may confiscate my art supplies as I'm getting on the cruise ship or in the suitcase Who knows then again? What am I gonna do with a heat gun like knock on the cabin of the captain and say give me The keys and hold them up with a heat gun. I don't think so. So I don't know who knows better safe than sorry, so I'm going to Art for you guys so this particular video is going to go over the differences in stonecoats base tin and Other brands so for the sake of this video. I'm using colored sessions Snow white Paste and It's very good brand. It's I love it just as much as I do Casting craft artists use white just resins white Leresa's white It's all good. It's all Pretty similar in the way that it reacts with other colors while in resin The thing I'm gonna demonstrate today is the difference in stone coat versus The other guys so the difference mainly is that this has an oil property to it And while I still stand behind the fact that you should not put oil paints in resin because it will either a Pit to the end of the earth or it will leak out like the shining all over your floor I know this for a fact happened to me don't want to know so What I'm gonna do for you guys today right now is a Demonstration on how to work with these to make them work best for you for what you're going for So if you're wanting a frothy foamy Cell like for an ocean pour that has like tighter cells Like a wave basically you're gonna want to use a pace right and If you're wanting something that has larger cells made for a larger painting or you want some like webbing or lacing You're gonna want to use the base tint from stone coat and How you use the pace versus the base tint is very different in that with the base tint you want to push color Over the base tint stone coat based it needs to be on the bottom because the oil properties. It's going to Alter the surface tension and like diffuse the cells. I don't know. That's the right word. We're gonna call it an e-science word disperse cell dispersion That's what's going to create the cells is the oil property Think of like an oil slick or something like that You want the color to go over it to create your cells whereas with the tense? Nope the pace You want that to be on top of your other colors? So they each react to surface tension differently, but I'm gonna just Do a demo for you guys so you can get a visual. I'm a visual person I assume all of you artists out there are as well So I'm going to maybe I'll make some of their new gold in there too because I love it love it so much Okay, so hold on just a second. Let me get that logo out of the way There we go So I'm going to use the base tint white from stone coat Snow white from Color obsession Which is available on my website or select that come And I'm gonna use equal amounts of those and then I'm gonna use a new color that I haven't used yet But Jeff just discovered that we have it so he's super pumped about trying it It is dark turquoise by color obsession And I'm also gonna use a little bit of the gold that stone coat is releasing Because it's gorgeous. I'm not using too many colors in this because the point of this is To demonstrate the differences not really Create some fantastical Piece of our work, although I do hope it comes out fantastical brand new Anytime you get a paste or a new paint or Well any time paint really make sure you stir it up if you run into a paste that is thickened or looks like kind of Dried out or separated a little bit Put the cap back on and running under some hot water and that should Help everything mix back into where it's supposed to be now for most powders paste tints, whatever The standard measurement is 10 percent paint to resin That's a starting point if you mix too much paint into your resin you're gonna end up with a Chemical imbalance basically and you're gonna have marshmallow fluff instead of nice flowing smooth resin Don't want marshmallow fluff. I've made that happen by accident on some of my videos. Just tune back It'll be there. So I'm gonna go ahead and mark this arm color obsession Where am I? Where are you color obsession? And then this one I'm gonna mark Stone coat Hopefully you can see that The only pin I have is a micron and Jeff would kill me if he knew that I had Resiny fingers on his new pens like he hasn't even used that pen yet He'll be fine so If you haven't used any of the stone coat base tints yet because of its enamel or oil like Um Makeup it does have a slight Odor some people like it some people very sensitive. I just want to warn you about that before You try it because I don't want anybody out there to have any surprises if you're super sensitive to smells Also We're a respirator if you're concerned. This is a no VOC Um resin So unless you put way too much heat on it, you're not gonna smell it So this is the color that we're using where am I? Where are you dark turquoise? Of course, it's not gonna focus Because my life There we go. It's dark turquoise by color obsession. I do have some of this in stock currently however Things change as videos post so if you Go to the website can't find it have questions shoot me an email Thornton at artistilldebt.com to tease to elves and I'll be happy to help you out Answer your questions and Reorder paint that's out if If you can't find it Okay I don't know if this color is going to show true on the camera because the Lighting is set for p.m. And it is currently very am But it is a gorgeous deep rich teal turquoise color And the last color we're using is the new gold from stone coat. It's very glittery very extra And I love it everybody that's seen it has loved it. It's like a metal flake. That's what it looks like It's very glittery and it goes very airborne. So If you don't want it to look like a pixie farted in your house Um, maybe not use it because it's very extra In fact, that's my bid for what they should name it. Let's just call it extra When you mix the powder or glitter into your where am I? Into your resin. I just basically just gently fold it until it's a little bit more incorporated That way less chance of things flying out And getting all over your studio house kitchen Just liquid gold y'all Oh Luckily, I don't know how they did it, but it's beautiful. All right So i'm not going to put the clear down like I usually do because this is just a test I'm going to here's okay. Let me just Tell you what my plan is Look at me here. What my plan is is that i'm going to do The stone coat white on this side The color right here and the color obsession here because I want to swipe The color obsession white over the color and then the color over the stone coat because that's kind of the order it needs to be in Color obsession the paste needs to go over the color Unless you're using stone coat then that needs to be on the bottom So this is stone coat and since these cells expand further than The paste i'm going to do almost half Just filling in all the voided areas Having some resin down first helps Your design flow over your substrate more easily So then i'm going to do the color And I really hope this color shows on camera because it's Kind of amazing. Also, I may need more color That's okay because I have some resin left over That I can make some more So we're just going to do that real quick A lot of times i'll keep um Some clean resin set aside just in case There's a color I feel like I need more of or If I need to fix something or if I decide to do the edges a different kind of way better sakes and sorry People ask a lot of times how we figure out how much resin we're going to use and ultimately There's so many factors that go into how much resin you should make. It's really hard to say I know that Art resin has a calculator. It's Not really accurate for our use But it does help a lot of people so that may be a good place for you guys to start I'm going to talk to stone coat about putting a Usage chart up on their website This is very opaque and i'm just pushing it just to where the Base coat is I'm not pushing it into it because i'm going to do a swipe and I don't want to contaminate my gloves With the other colors Now this is the color obsession White i'm going to just Finish off this side And I have a little bit left up both whites. So that's cool Just in case I get a stain On the other areas So so far there's not a real noticeable difference. They're both really opaque See that's what i'm talking about. I'm going to have to fix that But since it's going to be a swipe And it's just a test It'd be fine Now i'm putting some gold into this because it is amazing And I just want to use it All right So i'm going to put a little heat on it You don't want to do that much when you're trying to get cells use as little heat as possible because You use too much heat Then your resin will be too liquid and even if you get cells that you really really like They won't Hold up while it's setting You just want to put just enough To pop the bubbles out of your surface Do quick passes until you don't see any more little bubbles popping. It shouldn't take that long And it all depends on how much um how quickly or how briskly you mixed your Your resin up. So i'm using a bent spatula. Nope. That's not what it's called. But you know what I mean And i'm going to just swipe Hmm Yeah, I think i'm just going to swipe into The color I think this is wide enough that it won't make this white travel into this way and if it does it won't go that far So it'd be fine And I might bring this back into this way because something that's great about the pace that Isn't really a property of the stone coat is This will sell whether this pace goes over this one or this one goes over this one whereas The the base tent really needs to be on the bottom to work. So I could swipe this over this But it won't work the same if I do this over this. That makes sense. I hope it does moving up So when you swipe you don't want to go all the way down to the Surface your canvas. You just want to angle it slightly and lightly just Push the resin over the other colors Also after each pass you want to wipe your spatula off Now I think i'm going to do this over this You can see cells popping up over here not so much yet over here But if I bring this back this way Maybe it'll yield better results This is going to sell whether I hit heat on it or not whereas this kind of needs Heat and motion to more work So Let's do that Now usually with this heat gun, I will push the resin around but for the sake of this demo I'm not going to do that just yet. I just want you to see the differences in the cell structure Of this Side versus this side So you can see the cells starting to pop up over here and in here And you can really see where Stonecoats cells are making magic Also that gold is losing its mind So let's take our experiment a little bit further And let's push it around with Well, hold on this is a little bit too organized right here So i'm going to kind of break that up. I think and swipe this way Looks the same amount of organized, but I like it So let's push These colors a bit And see if we can make something more magical happen Give it a second. They're starting to pop up. They're kind of smaller, but They're still present And what I was saying earlier is it kind of all comes down to What kind of cells you're looking for what kind of Y'all this top corner is doing some banana stuff. I'm gonna have to show you I wonder if I can I may be about to ruin this piece, but I want to try something if I can get my life together real quick Okay, so I don't know if you guys can see this but Like there's peek-a-boo cells right here and it's like glittering only in the cells It's kind of sandwiched The gold under the color of session white But on top of the stone coat white I hope that's focusing like I would like it to but who knows So I'm gonna see if I can Exploit that just a little bit And maybe work it into this part I don't know if it's working I don't know if it has to go all the way over The stone coat part, but It's starting to pop up a little bit over here. Maybe if I use a little bit more of the color of session White and push it over I'll use all my teal again Now wipe off your spatula There's some glittery cells popping up right here So as you can see the difference in cell structure And size is very different Let me switch you guys over to just lucy cam So there's that piece.
