 world it is me or I however it's proper Erika with artist till death here in my house slash studio and I'm gonna make some artwork with you guys today I got a comment on our channel that said it was very nice but it was like a critical I don't know how it wasn't like critical but it was an opinion-based comment that I always appreciate hearing from you guys essentially they said I miss your old schoolways of art-ing all the swipes and super tilts and things and I realized that I've pretty well deviated a bit from how we art-ed in the beginning which I think you know everyone evolves as an artist however I don't want to lose any of that and so tonight I'm going to do swipes but I'm gonna do them a little different I'm gonna use some of our awesome possum already patented trowel sticks and I have gloves on so I can't get this paper off when you order these they'll come with a brown paper on them and that's just to ensure that doesn't get scratched in transit but you just pull this paper off and you're good to go just wipe it off in between each use and as long as you're nice to your trowel stick they'll be nice to you I mean they didn't tell me that but I feel like that's got to be true we usually just I can't I don't have nails and I have gloves on so I just use another stick to pop that off everybody that I've heard use my sticks love them and tonight we're using the trowel ones so they have these little teeth and so I'm gonna use this to swipe and it's gonna give me kind of a combed swipe look very excited and I'm gonna do it on a piece that I did a while back with some chameleons so you can see it this artwork through and then I'm going to use another board that I had painted on a while back what but I painted it out white and we're going to swipe on there as well so hello everybody thank you for coming in I appreciate you guys so much for coming in and spending time with me I know time is very valuable and it just means the world so thank you guys thank you thank you to everyone and super special thanks to my mods you guys are the best so I'm gonna start I went ahead and mix my colors already first of all I went ahead and mixed eight ounces for these two 12 inch boards I'm gonna start with my abalone I didn't use a lot just a little bit so that it's translucent you can still see through it but the sparkle is amazing and breathtaking and everything and this is kind of like a skim coat but it's a little bit thicker so I want to create some separation some distance and depth between the layers and so to do that I have kind of a thicker skim coat it's not quite as much as a flood coat but more than just greasing the pan so to speak nice I'm gonna do the same on the white one I'm doing two because these boards are kind of small and my lives have been really fast here lately on the countertop right there isn't about so the sloppy Joe stuff is seasoning is on the fridge whatever you're looking for but both are right there they didn't have the can stuff sorry so all times pressured but so are you you guys are amazing thank you so much you make my whole heart happy so I have the milk nope abalone based on both of my pieces so we have a subtle sparkle but you can still see the chameleon through from the last one which is fine I like to paint in layers when I have a piece that hasn't sold for a while I just will yeah just a little bit I when I have a piece that hasn't sold then I'll just paint over it will do something different but I like to have the first layer still showing through because I don't want to waste anything and also it creates depth it creates separation and it's awesome so let's get started I am going to use this is midnight black from lores very opaque black I'm going to use color passions base cell whites very opaque and I'm going to use my new favorites gold the rich gold shimmer from color obsession I should get some interesting effects the resin I'm using tonight is stone coat art coat if you would like some stone coat of your very own it's the best resin I work with for most applications you can use code y'all y a l l all caps and a punctuation to get 15 13 or 15 percent off I cannot remember so since this one has some artwork under it I'm going to try to apply my resin for my swipe this is going to be negative space swipe I'm going to try to apply it so that it kind of makes sense with the design so essentially I'm going to go this way instead of this way because if I were to cut across the middle when everything is going this way in the flow it's just going to look separated and not very nice in my opinion and then while I have it out we'll go ahead and do just both at the same time and next I'm going to add the gold who doesn't like a beautiful black white and gold painting this is a floating and a sinking gold I know that is counterintuitive but it does both beautifully just to wait and now I'm going to add the black just through everything boom love the look of black white and gold so if you'll pardon me for one moment I need a sippy sippy break tink adult chocolate milk let's get to it so I'm going to take my trowel stick and I'm going to use it to swipe so usually I use a swiping paper and I make sure that it is horizontal but in this case have you guys ever gotten a resin in your mouth it just happened to me not not the most delicious I'm going to kind of comb through it at an angle and yes that's 45 degrees and when you swipe remember that whatever color you put your swiping apparatus whether it's a piece of paper or a stick or a spatula whatever it is that you use wherever it is that you lay your tool that's what's going to be the most presenting color so if I lay my stick like this to where it goes from the black to the gold to the white and I'm going to have that ombre a black golden white in my swipe so let's oh my goodness how gorge is that now there are some bubbles so we'll hit those with some heat and get rid of those but that comb through y'all loving it loving it already my husband's in there making fun of my y'all but it's fine okay so I'm going to start the swipe going kind of the so the first one I started like this tilting to the left this I'm going to start tilting to the right for no other reason than I just want to see what it'll do you guys I put a little extra pressure and it's scooped this big wisp how gorge and I love that you can see the original pour through it in these comb swipe right here yes yes B I love how this looks just so you know I know you can't see it because you're in there cooking and I'll love you but I just want you to know that this is amazing very very good I guess I'm gonna do this way again even though I'm running out of real estate so I like how it looks when I pull in all of the colors that I have so it's not just a whole like white swipe or black swipe or gold swipe I'm going to go to where I can pick up all of the colors oh I'm so impressed with myself and I don't say that that much I'm not the end I'll be all by any means but how beautiful is that layout oh I'm so excited cat you're a y'all user too I feel better okay so okay we need to do the other side okay wait okay go okay wait so a lot of what I swiped to this way it's obviously already used in swipe so I'm gonna just add some more of the other colors just a little bit so that I have something to pull on the other side I probably don't need any more of the black but but we'll see and then of course more of this gold because Irma Gerd loving it okay so every time I finish with a swipe I'm wiping off on this edge here most of the resin so that I don't have any color transfer okay I'm gonna go I'm gonna do this angle but I'm not gonna do it exactly where this one was because I want it to stagger so it doesn't look like I just parted someone here so to speak someone's here rather one fourth is half of the orange one you said one fourth or one and one fourth okay so you need a blue a whole blue one and then half of the orange one so impressed right now so I'm putting a lot of the pressure down in the beginning and then I'm kind of lightening up on the edges and that way it kind of just drops that whole scoop of color that I've swiped over I'm so excited so the gold is rich gold shimmer from color obsession I currently in this moment have some in my shop so cat what was the question so I'm gonna try to pull this way so I can get some of the white involved just gave it a little bit of a little bit of like some swirl action so this looks a whole bunch like a feather now but honestly I'm here for it I love this look I now want to take it to a larger scale I think if you were to be doing countertops and included some of this magic it would look amazing and it's going to do more as it sits there and relaxes and we're going to hit it with some heat to pop the bubbles the blue blaze go ahead and do that and see what happens I'm not trying to create any movements I'm just popping bubbles I don't want to thin out the resin too much I don't want to um heat it too much because then it will thin out and then you could lose your lines by the way I'm getting some cells and over here there should be a tea tiny no it should be a tea tiny can and the kitchen and the pantry it's all right we'll swipe through that I was gonna put this up but I'm just going to leave it here just so that we can see how it moves morphs and grows I'm going to put a line of white here here okay just wipe that bad boy off and check this one out this one I'm going to use my tea tiny baby Bowie stick a little Bowie Charles stick if I can find it there it is so this one is smaller and so the little notches are smaller so I'm going to see what it looks like over here if it doesn't look right we'll just switch back over to the small size all right so I'm going to pick up all of the colors yep uh I hesitated all right we're going to try to reswipe it you ready I'm not ready okay I'm ready okay wait okay go so I'm allowing it to go all the way to the bottom just to see what it looks like and it I feel like it pulled too much of it because my notches are smaller I'm closer to the surface so I think I'm going to just reswipe that whole bit so I'm just going to cover it with more resin because I scooped it all that way and so this one I'm just going to glide across the top but I'm still going to try to pick up a bit of all the colors so this tinier one takes a little bit more finesse but I think it still gives a like a fine comb type look so I'm going to do a couple of these ones and then I think I'm going to fill in with the bigger one just because it's a little bit difficult I think so this has got an offset handle so you can go you can work more comfortably without really worrying about scraping your knuckles across the piece which I have done more times than I'm actually comfortable telling you guys okay so I'm going all the way to the surface I'm letting up and so it kind of deposited a little bit of color there so good to know I'm going to just alternate how I scoop this I just love this comb through look it just looks so dimensional it looks like there's actually ribs I just want to do I just want to do a portrait now and just say this is the hair which is completely absurd for me to do a big portrait just because I want to do the hair and we're going to redo that one feel like I need more gold oh no there's never too much gold just just an FYI I may decide just to tilt this one when we're done with it just to see what it'll do see what difference is oh that one got out of hand but let's heat it and tilt it around and see what it does sometimes you do a piece and it's great technique wise but um Fonzie looking hey isn't it wasn't that the font you didn't heat a a little bit of heat to get some motion and tilt this bad boy around and see what it does because I don't know what a wrecked comb swipe looks like oh that's something new did I invent something it sounds like something they probably people would be about because they do like wrecked bloom pores and all such things you guys I am very much loving this texture we've got going on loving the waves this went from I don't know if I'm digging it too okay okay how okay I want to do a huge one I want to do a massive like headboard piece I love it just the way it is nobody can tell me anything about what this piece looks like because nobody I don't okay ooh you could get a wood grain out of this I don't want to drip on our first venture now I'm wondering should I tilt around our first piece the og do we need to tilt this guy or do we like him how he is oh my goodness if I actually I'm gonna leave it I'm gonna leave the dot I'm gonna call it a signature anyone else see roasted marshmallows okay well I love roasted marshmallows so I'm with you 100% on this being a roasted marshmallow so thank you tg for linking our shop I sell these super affordable little reusable all you do is just wipe them off after each use stir sticks as long as you're nice to them they'll stick around yeah and why not yeah you have to be sweet and then they'll be sweet be look at my this don't tell me how much you love my this because it's pretty amazing you have to be sweet you have to clean them off this is my favorite this looks like some rocky road just go they were saying toasted marshmallows yes very that and so I'm wondering if I need to tilt this one around a la that look tilt this one okay let me okay it's been a minute since I've done a technique that turned out to be like my new ultra favorite and this is my new ultra favorite okay nope okay let's get some motion and our little ocean doesn't it seem so counterintuitive that you heat resin to thin it out but then it heats itself up to cure and you know solidify I almost said harden but it is not atd after dark it is 625 so petrified wood I see that a lot of you may already have some of our super awesome trowel sticks and if you do I encourage you to give this look the shots and if you don't I happen to have them available on my website artists ill death comm supporting my little tea tiny baby shop supports our dream to live off of our artwork and it would mean so much to me if you guys would try our everything there was a floater and I had to get it out and now the undercolors are showing maybe I'll just nope this hide that right in there so now I just have to decide where I want the center of the pc I think you guys are right I think the tilt was a good idea love it all love it all that one's definitely my favorite but love it all but I want to know what you guys think the sparkles on both of them is abalone shell by resin art I should have some in stock on my website if not I'll have it in really soon so which one is your favorite the dark one or the light one let me know and hopefully we have the same favorites but if not I'm cool with it these pieces and many others will be available in our art show that will be this Friday at 6 p.m central uh well art show art sale and I would love to have some pieces hanging in your home or office so now this piece will ever forever and ever be called the toasted marshmallow typically this much movement bothers me because it can be construed as busy but I think it very much works and for those people that do like the all the color in the middle and then like swipe up and down and do like reflection scapes you know what I mean this would be very that is there a silver equivalent to the gold you used um titanium by color obsession is very similar but it has a little bit more of a sparkle to it than just a metallic sheen but I think she's coming out with another form of this oh yeah I hope you enjoyed the video this evening let me know what it is that you like seeing us do best so that I can do more of those because this is what happens when you guys tell me what you like what you think I go back to my basics and come up with new ways to do them and then they're magic and then it makes my heart happy and then hopefully it makes you guys happy so yeah um I have just resin and color obsession on order I expect those in this coming week they um color obsession just takes a little bit longer to bottle up because she's a one person show but I will have those colors in and hopefully the tints before too long let me know what color it is that you are looking for and I may have like a dupe in another color or another like product range in the meantime yeah this would be amazing for wood grain I'm going to show ronda I think she'll love it so anyways look how fun that is I want to do like a lion fish now because of how this looks you can do a disco green disco grain halo in there yes make sure to be here for the atd art sale friday 6 p.m delis texas united states of america time but till then I will see you guys in the next video be kind of one another because you never know what's going through and always remember I don't know if you guys can hear them but we do the death so you don't have to and I hope you guys have an awesome evening we'll see you guys tomorrow bye
