 I hope you can hear me because I hope you can. I have my headphones in, so I don't know. But I hope you're all having an awesome today. If you're new here, hi, hello, I'm Erica. I'm half of artist till death. My husband is Jeff and he is currently helping me with a project while I'm doing the live. Sorry, I'm trying to figure out how to let my mixer. All right, got it. And if you're new, please subscribe. Yeah, give up with this thing. Looks good right there. Hey, hey, hey. I have not seen the movie yet, but I look forward to it. Which pink do you guys think we should do for this video? Should I do a dusty pink or a bright pink? I am also using my mixed media better for the environment. Wraps, nope, wipes. It's not a wrap, it is a wipe. I believe you guys have a discount code using ATD. You'll have to find all the information in the last video. I did a review on this, these wipes. So what's that, TG? Okay, so I pulled cotton candy from Just Resin and also dusty pink from Color Passion. Which one do you guys think would be a better color for these here lippies? Something bright and what I would consider Barbie pink or something a little bit more neutral or should I do a little bit of both? I did posca pen these teeth, so they're not the most perfect, but this isn't a fake Barbie. This is real Barbie with real teeth problems. They're a little bit sketchy looking, but I'm okay with it if y'all are okay with it. Do you ever use oil paints? I will never use oil paints in, oh, it does look a little purpley, doesn't it? But only in some lights. IRL it's this pink color, but it does have a cool tone to it. I do not use oil paints in Resin. I do have an art degree wherein I did do a lot of oil paints. Is that your question? Are you asking about in Resin or in general? I'm gonna go ahead and split out this Resin into individual cups because if you've never worked with Resin before, you wanna get it into smaller cups as quickly as possible or out onto your substrate as quickly as possible so that it doesn't start to cure up on you too fast. The brighter looks purple. This one looks purple. This one looks purple. I mean, the brighter or the lighter. Okay, yeah, so I do work with oils or have worked with oil. I haven't done any oil painting in a long time. But I am well-versed in oils, but I would not put it in Resin. This is gonna give you problems. Last time I used an oil paint, it leaked out of my piece and onto the floor and it was not cute. All right, so I'm gonna show you what the cotton candy looks like. It is very bright. In fact, I think they could have named it Barbie Pink. Got a slight shimmer or pearlescence to it. So it's not like metallicy. It's not like hyper sparkly. It's just got a sheen. You know, if you guys can see it on here. Probably not, because it's not gonna focus because that's my life. But it's a beautiful color. And then this is the Dusty Pink. Actually, since I already opened this one, I'll probably go with this one. This is a cool tone and this is a very warm tone. So I don't know about putting them together. I also have some of my Halo glitter. And actually I'm gonna pull my oak lawn because I think I wanna do an ultra fine glitter in it or should I do a solid chunky glitter? You guys let me know. Super chunk glitter or super fine glitter? My chunky glitter goes actually better with the other pink, the Dusty Pink. But this is Princess Chunky Glitter from Color Passion. It's got all kinds of shapes, sizes, and textures of glitter in it. And then this is oak lawn. We love oak lawn. It is a glitter powder, so it's ultra fine. And it's makeup grade, you could wear it. But when it lays out, it lays out in a perfect rainbow somehow. And it's not even gonna focus. Oh, there it is. Nope. Okay, we'll stay back. But it's beautiful. I love it. So we'll use it. Meow. I'm gonna mix. I'm just gonna start by mixing, I think a white so that we have a highlight. So I'm going to use my top-cell white. Not gonna need that much. I'm gonna pour some of what I poured out back in. What's up, vamp? I never use the other what. Oh, I know, but I worry that since I have to put the color down, so nope, the resin down so thin that it will show the texture. Like the texture isn't gonna lay down like I need it to. That's my concern. So I'm using color passions top-cell white. I'm not looking for any cells or anything like that in this piece. I'm looking for just a beautiful coverage. This is a super white, it is opaque. It is white, it's lovely. Okay, you are always extra and that is one thing that we super love about you. All right, so I'm gonna take not as much pigment as I typically would. I'm gonna put that somewhere, right there's good. Because I may try to do this kind of translucent E so that the glitter, the opalon is visible but if it doesn't look good, I will go back in and add more pigment and just cover it up. So you can see the pearl to it now. It's got that lighter color sheen to it. And you can see how hard it's breaking on the stir stick. You can see the color under it. So it's translucent. We can add our opalon and not have to worry about it getting covered up too much. In theory, we'll find out together. It's very light. So if you breathe too hard around opalon, it's gonna get in the air and then it's gonna stay there because it just don't care. You can see a little bit of the specs, but not enough. So we're just gonna go ham a little bit with baby ham. That's more like it, but I need more of more like it. In my world, glitter is always an option. Get in there just a little bit more. Dump the whole thing. Well, just in case I decide to put a little bit of a different color in here with it, I'm going to refrain. Okay. I'm gonna start with putting highlights where they would probably be. So the highlights are essentially where if you had a really glossy lipstick on, it's where it would be. But if it ends up looking like not what we want it to look like, I'm just gonna blend it in and it'll be great. I don't want it to look like there's icing on the mouth. And I think I'm gonna go ahead and mix up a little, two tiny bit of pink with a little, two tiny bit of purple to get a shadow color. When you use our patented stir sticks, you can reuse a million times. Not a million, don't quote me on that, but a lot of times you just wipe them off in between each color or each use. And you don't have to buy a hundred million thousand popsicle sticks. Brilliant, brilliant. All right, so we have a little bit of the purple. Now we're gonna add a little bit of the pink so that it's still in the same like color, family, sweet. This is just gonna be our shadow. I have never done this before. So we're gonna have a together adventure trying to figure it out. So since resin is just gonna go where it's already been, I'm just going to put the resin out and then fill it in. And for a good portion of this, it's okay, Bowie. You're just gonna have to trust the process because it's gonna look like a hot mess. So I'm just skimming my resin along the lip line in order to kind of wet the lip in this area. And then the resin that we have down right now, the purple, our shadow color, it'll just fill in because it wants to go where it's already been. And I'm putting it where it's going to have already been. So I'm just scraping it along. You don't have to use this process on doing a lip, but maybe it'll inspire you to do some like designed resin piece that's not just a pour, which doing pours is amazing. But I always like to look at new or different or new and different ways to utilize mediums. And so I thought about this a long time ago, but I hadn't gotten around to actually doing it. And so now is the time. And just like with the other Barbie image we did, you don't wanna put your resin out too high because it's gonna run. You don't wanna put too much resin down. It pours out at roughly quarter inch high depending on your ambient temperature and what kind of resin you're using. So that's a little bit much. Resin's gonna try to self-level down to about a quarter inch. And so if you have too much on there, it's gonna try to run and it's not gonna be good. It's gonna ruin your design. I'm never really painted with resin. So this is gonna be quite an exercise. I guess we can use this also for the lip liner. So let's align some lippies. I'm just scraping it along where I want the outer edge of the piece to be. This is gonna be the extent to where my resin is gonna be allowed to flow to. I wanna keep everything within the purple color that we mixed. I don't have to hurry so much on this one. I'm using Stone Coat Art Coat for this piece so that I have a little bit more time because it is bigger than the Barbie one that we did. Have you guys ever painted with resin? You really wanna keep your resin in as thin of a layer as possible in order to reduce the amount of travel that your resin may do. The more resin you have down, the more likely it is to go outside of where you want it to be. If you hear squeaky toy in the background, that's Miss Mam. I started this lip piece like last year, I think. I just never got around to finishing it. So I thought today, today is the day. And I think my marble background that I have on it is pretty good background for just a solid lip piece. She's been sleeping all day. And now, because I'm going live, she's like, oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. All of these sounds, but she's cute so it's whatever. Swamper, so glad to see you in a live. Have you guys gone to see the Barbie movie yet? Sometimes I start these projects on live feed and I'm like, this would have been way better suited for a prerecorded video because sometimes it's just boring, daunting things like this. And I'm like, people are gonna hate me for posting a video or streaming something that's quite tedious and not that exciting to watch. But I'm glad that you guys are here watching me and giving me ideas. A lot of my best ideas come from y'all's suggestions. So I'm gonna keep some of this purple set aside. Now we're gonna fill in with our pink. I'm not just gonna pour it out though because we wanna keep it very limited to how much resin we have on the board. You don't wanna super fill it up because then it's going to break the surface tension of the outer edge, the lip line that we did. And it's gonna run out and it's not gonna be cute, so be advised then for the win. So I think in order to achieve that, I'm just going to put some resin out like this and just skid it around. Maybe I can just use my hand, let me just put some out everywhere. Then we can just make sure there's no raw areas. I'm also applying everything in like directional lines. So right now I'm moving my hand up and down in a curve so that if any particles choose to, they're gonna lay out in a rounded shape just like it would if you, it was on a lip, a for real lip. I think I'm gonna have to put more pigment into this pink. It is very soft and you can actually see through it to the everything that's underneath the pink. What is that marble? Words are hard. I also think I may mix up just a slightly darker purple, but what do you guys think? So always directional. So I'm swiping in the lip shape curve and that's going to kind of fold the particles that are in the pigment and delaying a certain direction in theory. You guys, this is looking way better than I thought it would. Like I'm super excited about how this is turning out. Now I just have to make sure that it stays within the bounds that I need it the resin this day. I'm also going to be picking up some resin, just removing it because I think the worst thing that you could do, like the quickest sabotage you're gonna give yourself is putting too much resin down. I love it, it looks great. Okay, I really like those oil dirts up there. All right, let's brighten up this pink just to smidge. You can still see the glitter in there. So since I knew I was gonna add all this other pink, that's why I pulled some of that resin off a second ago. We may have to do that again, but we'll find out. You don't care as long as we're gonna bling it out. Well, of course we're gonna add sparkle and pizzazz to it. I'm just swooping in that motion again, but this time I'm going into the white. Hopefully create like a glossy look, but if not, we're just gonna go over it. This is probably the closest I've come to finger painting since I was a wee child. I am not mad at all about how this is turning out, but I wanna know what you guys think and what I should change along the way. There are some things I'm gonna have to go back into and adjust, but overall, I'm digging it. And since we're using metallic colors, we can make the particles do what we want them to do. We'll wake them up so that we get the lines and the lip. Let's lower this, shall we? I mean, if I wear a lip gloss, like glossy gloss, it a lot of times looks like this. Very sloppy, but still cute. There's a hair, I don't know what it would look like if I just did some of this. Looks like an oil painting. Well, that's pretty sweet. Wonder if people asked me about oil painting earlier was like foreshadowing to this, looking like an oil painting. All right, I'm gonna mix up a little bit darker of the purple. Swipe off the stick first because we don't want to contaminate anything. If you get resin in your paste, you're just gonna have a puck. It's not gonna ever be the same. All right, every time you add more resin on, it's going to disperse and push everything out. And so if you, I don't do what I just did. If you already have a lot of pigment down, try to pull some off before you add any more. So you don't end up with issues. All right, so I'm gonna add a little bit darker where are these like lip folds, lip folds. I'm sorry, that sounds so gross. You guys know what I mean. I'm hoping it looks right. Otherwise we're just gonna have to blend it in. Which I think is one of my favorite things about working with resin a lot of the time is if you don't like it, just blend it, just blend it out. I think a lot of resin artists forget that they can remove whatever they don't like. Do you like it with that dark better before or after? JJ, I will come to your house and hurt you. I came for the tips and stayed for the lips. They should, they, me, we should make a shirt that said that, I think. I feel almost like I'm doing an impasto painting because it's such thick resin, kind of like using the thick impasto paint. Very rough, very abstract. And typically I'm not into art with that description, but this I'm not mad at. But I wanna know what you guys think. You should call my husband over here to tell me where I need to add things. Yeah, I think I like him on that side. That way it hides a lot of that land. This is the thing, this is what I wanna, we need to make this thing like bigger and then maybe down, because in the middle it's. Yeah, I will, as soon as the live is over, I'll redo it. What should I add to this though? Because I wanted it to be over there. Does it look Barbie-y or did I put too much purple? I feel like Barbie had some purple things, I'm pretty sure. Now, I'm not going to do anything on the teeth or outside of the piece itself right now because it would end up just bleeding and kind of warping the design that we have right now. And I'm not even going to wipe off anything that's outside of the lip that's touching the lip. So for example, I just wiped off a little dot of something from right here, but I didn't wipe it off all the way up to the line because even though I'm using a wipe that's not resin, it is still liquid and that would make my resin run towards that area because resin's gonna resin. Just edging up some of my lines here just like I do when I do oceans. But I'm always keeping in mind how much resin I have on the piece because you don't want it to go outside of what you have. Also, I'm popping the bubbles and that's it. I don't want to thin out my resin so much that it starts to run, which it will if you thin it out too much. So we're only popping bubbles so that we have a good complexion. And then that's it. Meow, I think that's all we can do with this, but I have a lot of resin left over. So you guys wanna do some coasters or some something else while this is curing? I'm digging it. It is very oil painter-y, dust-free zone you go. I have one of these things that Jeff did. Little glitch, glitch lip. You don't have to adjust your monitors. It is done in such a way that it's supposed to look like your eyes are fuzzy. There's a paint splatter that is in my way, so I'm gonna just... We have the stencils for these lip shapes on our website, artistilldeath.com. If you wanna try your hand at doing some lip artwork in the shape that we have created, this is called a prune. You know why it's called a prune? Because when Instagram models give that slightly open mouth look, they're saying prune. And I know you guys are... You okay, bubba? Get down. I know you guys are looking in the mirror right now trying to see what your mouth looks like if you go prune. Just wear your faces during those vowels. That is one of the best ways to do open mouth photos without looking like a codfish. You're welcome. Okay, Bowie, go lay down. His cough is much better. Thank you guys all for inquiring. What, do you want up or down? Want to get down? Want to get down? How about this? We'll put canvas in here. Come on, canvas. Let's go in here. Come on. You're not gonna fall for it, are you? Cool. Bowie, just hang out. I'm gonna do this last piece, and then I'll get you down. All right, just like the last one, I'm going to go ahead and put... Well, I think he's learned just like Kujo did, how to get my attention by not feeling well. Want to get down? Come on. Canvas, leave him. Stop. Leave him. She's in heat, so she's extra not listening. Not even in a mirror, just trying it out. That's funny. I sound like you, but instead of puppies, you have kids. I'm fully owned by my puppies. But you know, at least I'm aware, right? Isn't that, can that count for something to know that you're completely whipped by whatever thing that you love so much? Okay, so I'm gonna start like last time and do all of the outer edges. In my opinion, it's best if you can frame your work when you're working with resin in this capacity. You think having a definite outline, a barrier, an end of where you're gonna let your resin go to is important. Also, this is on a very cheap canvas instead of a cradle board. So it may still all run towards the middle, no matter what kind of fail safes I use to keep it from doing that. Okay, so let's start with the side. So I'm just giving it like a curved windshield wiper. I'm just letting it all blend together as I'm doing this. I'm not trying to mix my colors. I'm just letting them talk to each other. You guys, I may wanna paint more things with resin now that this one turned out successfully. Well, successful in my opinion. Do you guys think it's a nailed it or a failed it? You're not gonna hurt my feelings. Just let me know. I hope we did that with this. That looks more refined. Every time I pick up my this, my, what is this called? My star stick from the piece. I'm taking whatever resin that it brings up off of it. So that I'm not kind of muddying my piece. I think this is good. There's nothing out. Can really change with this one. It is quite a bit darker than the last one, that's okay. That's free zone. I still have more resin. So if you guys have another couple of minutes, I'm gonna do another piece. I just gotta run, grab a board real quick. Y'all not mind, do you? Well, some people do. I get messages sometimes that people are like, you're so unprepared. And it's true. You're not wrong. I thought I had more lip pieces that I could work on. Turns out I don't. Coasters it is. Okay, I guess let's just do some smushes and see what we can make with pink and purple and white. I'm half tempted to mix up some aqua. I'm just gonna let it all, no, I'll let it smush off. And then we'll do, sometimes pulling these coasters apart, it's just ridiculous. Let that run a little bit. Nice Barbie marble anyone, marble? Don't judge me. I mean, you can, but don't judge me. If I had a lip coat, I wouldn't even know where to start if I was gonna do lip without having at least teeth down first. Oh my goodness, I'm scared already. If it fails, we're just gonna smush it. Oh no, I had at least the teeth down on the last one. This one's just gonna have to have like sketch lines because there's no cleaning that up. Now I feel like I'm on the clock. You may put the teeth on this because why not? It's gonna be too much pigment, but we'll just wipe some off. My goodness, just doesn't look the same without the teeth burp. Just drop some white in there and call it teeth. Oh my goodness, that's not good. You do that one on there? I am doing a test so you don't have to, but it was a test fail. I'm just squeezing it and rotating it so that I can make sure that it's coming out of all the directions, but it didn't come out right here. So I know that it's gonna be a bare spot right there. So I'm gonna just turn it. Now I have full coverage in theory. Give up. Yeah, we had that bare spot right here. You saw where someone put a thin layer of resin on the back of a canvas to help with sagging. I've done that, you can do that, but resin's expensive. I don't wanna waste it on the back of a piece that no one can even see. That's my only issue with that technique, but it definitely will help tighten a canvas. Maybe if you have some old resin laying around that you don't really, you gotta use it anyways, that would probably be a good use. You can also do the trick about inserting a cardboard. It's gonna make a purple marble. It's so easy to do. You just swirl on just a little bit of color and then tilt it around. And there you have purple marble. Now I saw how easy that was to do. And put it on countertop, just like that. For the record, I think I used only maybe four ounces for that entire lip piece. That's bananas to me. I need another cup. I'm gonna do Barbie marble. I think I'm gonna mix just straight up halo as well. Not halo, oak lawn, gorge. All right, this resin's getting warm. Anytime I have leftover resin, I'll do coasters because when we have sales and do any kind of event, these sell so well. Any coaster. I may have put too much purple in this, but we'll find out together. Just let whatever falls off, just fall right onto another coaster. So soft, I love it. All right, I'm running out of time to be able to use this resin. We have this one and two more. I really like how that looks, that berry that's under the pink. I like underpainting anyways. I think it adds a lot of extra depth to a piece. Just maneuver this around a bit. It'll be real Barbie marble or marble. I'm hitting it with heat in some areas so that it flows faster in that area because when you heat up your resin, it thins it out and it makes it move. With marble, if you don't like what it looks like, you just keep tilting it around until it does look like what you want it to look like. If you have a luxury of a tilt, if you're doing a porn place, then that's a little bit more difficult. If I had more opaque white, I would add it. All right, one else. Still have some translucent white and still have some halo. And we'll put pink in there. You gotta have the swizzles, Tigi. Gotta have the swizzles. Love this work here from India. I am teaching a really sweet Indian lady how to do ocean pours this weekend here in Dallas. I love teaching one-on-one classes. So if you or someone you know are in the market for a one-on-one class, hit me up. Just a little swirl for interest. I'm gonna put, no, I'm not. I'm just gonna base paint it, but I'm not going to do that because that would be too much color. There's a lot of that purple down on this overflow down here. A little bit too warm. Smoked a little bit if you're ever doing resin and it gives you a puff of smoke. Don't breathe it and back off with the heat. Let it cool down a bit. Shouldn't take that long. That looks marbly for sure, for sure. I just wanna move some of that brighter paint back towards the center a little bit. I don't like this band where you can see the color of the coaster. So I'm gonna try to put just one more line of our dirty pour through that. Now we got a little swirl, a little loopy-loop. Thanks, T.G., we're almost done anyways. I got one more coaster to do and then that's a wrap. What do we wanna do with this one? I don't even know because I don't have that much of any one color left. I really wanna try to paint something with resin now that I would consider successfully did that lip piece. It makes me very excited about the potential for this medium because I mean, I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure most people are under the impression that you pour it and then that's it. I mean, that's, I guess, what it essentially was initially used for but if you can do other things with it, I think that just is exciting. Anytime you can take a medium and kind of change how it's used or introduce a new style of anything into a medium that people are kind of stuck in their ways about how you do use said medium, I think is super exciting. But maybe that's just me. What's that, Gail? So let's go check the piece that we did earlier, our lip piece, make sure it didn't move. Come on over to the dust-free zone. It's still perfect. Okay, I don't want it to hear. Let me say that it still looks perfect. So we're gonna button that up and leave her be. That one's still kicking. And then these are the coasters we made. We did these two on Smush. I think we did that one. And this one on a Smush made some Barbie marble, some marble, another marble, more barley things. That one is tilted. You can see that halo start to, nope. Oak lawn start to float up. See that silvery, okay. See that silvery sheen in the purple? That is actually from the pink, that cotton candy. And so, if you wanna know what colors I used today, the bright pink is cotton candy from Just Resin. The white is top-cell white from color passion. I don't know if I have any more of that right now. And the purple is berry by color passion. And then the glitter is oak lawn. And that is one of ours. So you guys, I hope you enjoyed this video. I hope you learned something or were inspired in some way. And I hope you have an awesome evening. Please subscribe if you haven't already. And we'll see you guys in the next video. Be kind to one another because you never know what someone's going through. And always remember, and always remember. We do the test though, you don't have to. I will see you guys in the next video. Bye.
