 Sorry, I'm not fully a hundred percent prepared We took the babes to the puppy park today. We'll be uploading a video a short of what Fun that was a bit later today I'm gonna try to figure out The piece that I couldn't figure out. I guess yesterday The piece took over way too much And so today I'm gonna fix it. I'm gonna try it again Now I can see what yens are saying. Hey, how have you been? Hi, Lisa. What's up, JJ? So this is the piece we did yesterday, but I have already buffed it out. I painted over it because This wasn't a good look for me I'm trying to do something similar to the Carrera-esque marble that is on the cover photo So we'll see. No, I don't know if you guys can even see much of what went down yesterday That looked like that So I just spray painted over it. Hi, Kim. What's up, Christy? so I Think I am going to Under paint some Let me Let me send that reference to myself the video may freeze for just a second, but it'll only be just a second So just give me just a second Okay, I'm here. So I just sprayed it matte white over what I had there So this is what client is requesting and It looks like it's gonna have to be hand-painted Or at least hand-accented because it's hard to control resin But I'm gonna give it one more shot. I'm gonna under paint this one And hopefully I can Give it a good old College try. Yeah, what's up? What's up everyone? So just for a second. I cannot see what you guys are saying I'm just looking at my my reference piece And since I already have one layer of resin on this I'm gonna try to go with the flow of it because they use a lot of translucent in my marble finishes And so you may be able to see some of this first layer through it Okay, so all the veining looks like it has a darker outline So that's gonna be that that looks like it has Some lines going through it. I'm trying to work off a reference, but That looks Interesting don't judge me off of that alone. Okay, thanks appreciate that I'm always starting my pour off the piece In case it like blobs out It looks like there's some that comes off of up here Essentially That's kind of the layout. I'm seeing I Don't know if this is gonna work if you're new to my channel. Hi we always Try to test stuff Try to make it work Today is no different I'm going to attempt to do This finish in it. I guess a new way different way a way. That's not the norm I always use resin to under paint because I feel like it gives a lot of depth. I Also frequently knock things over like that, so if messy art spaces Make you nervous Click away now in terms of mess things get pretty scary here All right, I mix up just a little bit more translucent white Needs a little bit more. Oh, I'm using Color passion top-cell whites Silver gray from just resin resin art abalone and those are the colors. I'm using today I always have some kind of pizzazz some kind of sparkle in my artwork and that includes my countertops I treat them all like artwork Okay, now that I have what that looks like I can come back to what you guys are doing So hey, hi. Hello. What's up? Tim hope you're doing well So I'm gonna I did my best well I didn't do my best, but I attempted to make sure that The darker lines had resin over it because I don't want to pick up Much of the gray because when you actually put your hands on the the dark colors Well on all of the colors you pick up and you transfer those colors and I want to not do that I want them to be where they are and Maybe like slightly moved, but ultimately just be where they are So I'm going to try to blend My translucent white which I made with color passion top-cell white and just a lot of resin and then I Have my milky way or shooting star on here as well to give some sparkle And I'm not trying to mix the two. I'm just trying to make sure there's no dry Areas on my board or areas that don't have resin and like I said that is fully because I don't want to Pick up any of that color and transfer it Across the piece. I'm trying to make sure all the dark is covered By another color or at least to the best of my ability. I'm not going to be too nitpicky with it Because some transfer does look good. All right, I'm going to call that Good enough All right, so now I'm just going to skim my hand across the surface and if you didn't completely or Mostly cover your underpainting then you're going to pick up a lot of gray and it's going to transfer But if you did a good job of covering it Then you're not going to get a whole bunch of transfer. I'm just skimming my hand across the top I'm not putting any pressure I'm raking my hand off over here when I noticed that I did pick up a lot of gray Just so that it doesn't really transfer that much sweet Now that could be a finish on its own. Hi Heidi. How have you been? What's up Gail? Hello everyone. Thanks for coming in to my up to today Okay, so I'm going to take some of my opaque white and add some lines And then I'm also going to break in some dirty pores This is just to create depth. This is all underpainting or background noise But it all kind of matters. It all changes the look Just slightly Someone is leaving the police station very upset outside right now So let me turn the light on. Hey bubba Hey Clara So this already is closer to what I was going for Than what I ended up with yesterday I'm just letting the resin roll over itself and give me some depth Which is the magic of using translucent and transparent colors What's up, Alan? Nice seeing you in the artist's neck of the woods It's still too much gray for my liking. I still haven't Gotten that light touch that I've been Trying for Okay, so now I'm going to throw some dirty pores in there because that's just my style That's just how I do And it's going to be mostly Translucence and the lighter gray that we made up If this doesn't work, then I'm going to just go over this and hand paint it Just to see if I can do it He's like somebody at some point is going to see that I want to get up here And help Okay, so we got mostly transparent and translucent with a little bit of color I'm going to bring it over any patches of dark that I want um toned down Doing these little dirty pore ribbons just gives the look such a softer feel Now I'm just going to fill up this little dirty pore cup again and do it again You're not missing anything. I'm just loading up the colors Okay, good Made a lighter dark gray this time and I'm still trying to use minimal bits of it I definitely like this one a lot better already And I think it's because it's we've gone and made it softer Just a little swirl Yeah, that I definitely like better I'm going to put some of it down here through that Some of it right here through this But I still need something here. So If I can scrape together enough I'm going to do that and then I think I'm going to put some silver Floating accents. Do you guys agree with the silver floating accents or should we Go bold and do gold. Oh that it rhymes. It should be on a shirt I'm pretty sure that's the rules of it things going on a shirt as it has to rhyme Also, I have no evidence of that. I just made it up But I want to know what you guys think this is going to be a tea tiny little dirty pore That's okay No gold do silver Turnier the better I see you vamp. Oh my goodness. You guys are like Exactly not agreeing with each other. I always do wonky fault lines like that At least I call them fault lines. I don't know what they actually are When this piece settles and starts to level off some These little lines will make a lot more sense Except for that one because that was not a little line. That was a full adult Line of color that I did not want. I'm not upset about this one yuns I need to get out of my comfortable range. I don't even know what that means Oh do silver Okay, so we got my cup got my sylva I just need a pipette Okay, if you guys have never seen me use the floating silver or floating any of the colors that we use This is a very Awesome product. It's essentially spray paint not in an aerosol And I always let it Work the propellant out of Itself By working it around the back of a paper cup you can see the yellow on the rim Which shows the propellant floating out It's essentially what makes it able to be liquid When I pick up just a little bit of the clear overflow Just a little bit though and work that in The more resin you add to this stuff. I find that it Loses a lot of its luster the sheen of it The part that catches the light so beautifully So don't put too much resin in I just put a little bit Looks like I've worked the propellant out I do that because I want to be able to control the thickness of the line that I'm about to draw on And you can't really do that when it has a whole bunch of propellant in it. It's just going to bloom and crack Before I do that I'm going to tilt this Just a skosh Skosh is a technical unit of measure as well Oh my goodness. I forgot to do the Tuesday color box I just realized You ever get so worked up trying to figure out a project a puzzle Or a finish that you just just lose sight of things sometimes And forget we're supposed to be doing just me cool cool cool So I noticed I did like a cardinal rule Of things not to do with resin especially for artwork and countertops is when I was putting those little lines in I put an x essentially in the center of my piece and um That's just not a good look It's just going to be distracting for the eye So I'm just going to tilt And rotate this bad boy around until I either meld that part out or just get it to a section that It makes more sense and isn't distracting Did you guys know I teach color theory? I'm going to do it in person At an upcoming class at rk3 designs May help you know your colors How to lay them out What colors work and why they work and what doesn't work and why they Doesn't work I already have a blog started on my website artistilldat.com where you can get all of these colors and more And it's for free That that is a good point vamp if the client has Gold or silver hardware would have to go off of that, but she Didn't tell me yet. So I'm going to draw these little veins on Just going with the flow that we've already established I swear, this is what makes the piece a lot of the time Is having this extra dimension Just floating on the surface You probably can't really see it right now But give me just a second and I'll bring you down so you can see what it looks like I'm just using this as the kind of Liner color around some of the accent areas Okay, bold was a good choice Very good choice This will probably be the last Line. Oh come on. We can make it. We can make it. We can make it cool cool cool cool Digging it definitely digging it more than The last attempt I'm gonna let you guys check it out And tell me if you think silver was a good choice Just love the way it just sits there on top, but it still has that Dark that stinks a little bit So it's just an extra bit of dimension You can really see the sparkle from the Milky Way So if I hadn't have worked out the propellant these lines would have really grown And when spray paint grows on top of resin It grows to a point because it's drying really fast That it cracks or crazes And it's just not a good look so To circumvent that oh look at me with the big words. I Just work out the propellant put just a scotch Of resin in it and then it just lays where I need it to Nobody ever comes to me for regular marble. I always get Can I get purple and green marble? Which I will do for people because where else are they gonna get it? I guess that's my niche with the countertop biz Is designer Replicas, I don't know how to say it. There's probably words I don't have them Thank you. Thank you guys. I think it turned out nice. I think it's still way too much gray especially for the Sample image, but I think this will give me something to work with if I wanted to go over it after it cures And draw in And paint in all the things But also I think client may like this Because I like it look how much depth is in it and it's just one layer everything that you see now is A byproduct of the underpainting I guess some of this gray over here is on the top side. You can tell it's like a different shade It's like warmer when it's on the surface and then cooler when it's under the translucent You can see those lines that I threw across it Almost have faded, but they're just there enough To look like They're supposed to be there Yeah, I definitely need to do a few less lines. I was trying to Really Kind of go with this design, but I just tend to forget that it's such a bigger scale when it's on like an island like this as opposed to What is a 15 inch round, you know, so I try to fit too much in anyways That's what she said Yeah, the gray did give it some nice shadows So that's take number two I'll probably send client these pictures And see what she says I could see that on a big countertop An island etc Anyways, so that's our live today I have to go ship out your orders from Yesterday and today if you haven't Come to me use code ATD for 5% off your order At artist told at comm to get um The colors that I use today And don't forget tonight we are going to go over to rk3's live I think um, she has a guest Artist tonight. I think it's Leslie. I think it's tumblers. I think Either way, we'll be there. You should be to Be kind to one another because you never know what someone's going through So you don't have to And we'll see you guys In the next video. Oh, but wait, let me show you My baby Yeah, my baby Does my baby I'm not a big lion baby. I know it.
