 We are live. Yeah, that's fine. Thank you. Hello, everyone. You're having an awesome day. We are, what's the day? Wednesday, Thursday? I don't even know. But we're here. All right, I'll get you guys lined up. What's up, Shelley? What are you doing? Just trying to get everything situated. Awesome. Hello, Kristie, Amanda, Melissa, Heidi. I'm doing gray marble. I still have a couple of pieces to finish for that jewelry designer. Nope, jewelry photographer. And so this is the last piece of that pick up, I believe, is tomorrow. So yeah, we're gonna go over marble. I've gone ahead and mixed up my resin to save some time. I'm never, ever sure that I've got it completely mixed together. Even though it just says mix for three minutes. You've been mixing that for a while, so let's go. If you're new, hi, welcome. I'm Erica. Jeff is here, as well as Bowie. Jeff has a snack. And we're artists till death. We go live every day, usually. It's 6 p.m., Melissa then comes up. Or it's Tuesday, in which case it's 2 p.m. All central. It's usually resin, always art. And yeah, if you haven't subscribed, do so. If you have, check and make sure you still are because YouTube can be kind of a punk sometimes and unsub people, which is not cute. It's true. I'm doing smaller cups for like my golds and my stark white. Nope, my opaque gray. I was really surprised at how much gold I used. Gonna try to keep it. I was wondering, can you over mix? I mixed by hand for five minutes. You can over mix. And so what happens when you over mix is... Okay, so you have to be vigorously mixing for extended time for it to happen. But what happens if you over mix is you just basically set off your resin to start curing faster than it would have. And you have to really, really work for that to happen. It has to be hot. Well, it'll get hot for me. I'm mixing it. So the first goal I'm mixing up is color obsessions, rich gold shimmer. The last floods aren't the best floods. So I'll be reflooding the white. I'm just from me pointing the A-C down. I wonder if it's because... Probably did just bounce up. And I'm getting some old gold from color passions. But I'm doing it kind of away from my board because it's a powder and I don't want to have any of the fallout land on the board. You think five minutes is too... It depends what kind of resin you're using. For art coat, it's really not. Struggling to hear Jeff. I have the mic on and he doesn't. I'm on the other side of the board. Yeah, and he's on the opposite side. Love the alcohol thing from yesterday. Can you do a video on how you did it? I can. I sure can. I have two grays. I have silver gray and I have taupe stone. I think silver gray is a little bit too blue. So I'm going to use color passion taupe stone. This is not for Bowie. Thanks, you guys. I will definitely do a version of that. I think I want to do a big piece like that anyway. So I kept all the colors out that I used to do that piece. Yes, it was pretty fast. So I'm making this one opaque. And I think I might make it a little bit darker, but we'll see. I'm going to just take like a scoop out of my opaque gray and put it into this other resin and hopefully get a clear or a translucent gray. I want a translucent one because I'll be able to create a lot of depth that way. Okay. So now we have a translucent gray and opaque gray and two different golds. I don't know if I'm going to use white, but I think I am now that I said that out loud. I'm just going to do a little bit of white. What's up, Tim? Hello, everyone. So I'm going to use some L'orese Angel White. I'm going to make it opaque. So to recap the colors I'm using are old gold from color passion, taupe stone from color passion, L'orese Angel White and rich gold shimmer from color obsession. I don't know, but I made it just in case I want to highlight. Okay. So I'm going to start with putting just some clear down because I want some of my background to come through. Love it. Love it. This could be a piece all on its own. What's up, Denise? And I'm going to work in some of the translucent gray. That doesn't really look gray anymore, but we're going to roll with it. I think I'm going to just put some white in it. She has no clue. I have all the clues, I think. We'll see. Walk away, right? Christie, I hope I do have titanium and stock soon with Australia still being on lockdown. Their exports have gotten more strict. I'm going to put just tea tiny bit of white. Nope, this is not white of black from just resin into the rest of my topestone opaque mixture to get a little bit of a deeper gray. That's what I love about these pigments is you can mix them all together. That's a good gray. I did not think I was going to use all of this resin. It's 24 inches wide. I'm kind of just cross-hatch moving this resin about. This is all just going to be background. It's not going to be the cutest right now, but just hear me out. I may even add another bit of black in here to make it a little darker, actually. Hello, John, right? It's up soon. If you're just tuning in, just hear me out. It does look crazy right now, but it won't in a minute. One more scoop of black into my gray mixture. I'm trying to get a lot of depth of tone. Obviously, when you want to make a color darker, you add a darker color. In this instance, I'm adding black. Then if I wanted it to be lighter, I would add white, right? Currently, not the most beautiful piece, but I'll just wait. I'm just skimming over the top to create some movement, not doing any hard-mixing, just creating a background for my gold veins to move across. I always get my hands sticky when I work with resin. Pop some bubbles. We're going to tilt this so that everything's kind of flowing in the same direction and get some movement that's not just left-right. Was it prone to the gloss paint? It was actually primed with a hammered paint because I didn't have any just gray regular spray paint, so it was hammered. I know shaking resin isn't exactly groundbreaking procedure, but in my head, it helps it move. Sorry. Also, sorry about the ruckus. Our windows are open. All right. Do I like it like this? Do you think this is too busy? Do you think this is too busy? Too busy. Love the movement. It's not really a texture paint. I guess maybe hammered would be a texture paint, but I didn't put enough on there for it to create a texture. I just wanted to get the color. So I am going to be putting gold veins on it. I just need to get the background kind of where I want it because once I put the gold veins down, there's not a lot I can do with it. I think it's buzzed from the board. Try heat gun and blend the colors a little more. If I use a heat gun to blend the colors, I'll get cells. I'm not really trying to get cells in this one, but the top part has softened from the tilting, so now I'm just trying to get it to match up on the bottom half. It looks like I'm stretching the piece on there, but I'm really just bouncing it. Could be bubbles. So now I'm just tilting it back a little bit and then we'll get moving right along to see something, the gold. All right, not a big deal. That'll fall back down. Also, it's a little bit lighter in person. It looks really dark on camera. See, I hit it with a little heat and the cells are coming up. You don't want cells? Oh, it's marble. You're just tilting it a little bit. It's like clouds. It is. Oh, I make mistakes all the time. See them cells? You don't think it's kind of a nonsensical? Then we'll roll with it. Meow for the gold. So client wants a shimmery gold and variation in the gold. So I have the rich gold shimmer, which I'll go down first and then the old gold from Color Passion will go through the center of it to brighten the gold veins and give like a floating sparkle look. Here's my issue when I do something that has a busy background is I always end up wanting to follow these lines instead of just adding fault lines. Hey, Shane. So isn't this gold pretty? It's one of my favorite golds right now. I'm not going to do it. I'm doing straight lines. All right, let's do this. I always start my lines off the board and go all the way off the board. And this is because if you start pouring on the board, you're going to get a blob where you when you pour something out and gravity collects into like a teardrop shape. You don't want that. You want that to fall off the board. I'm also not hesitating because when you hesitate, you get those like speed wobbles and we don't want those pouring different thicknesses just to vary the shape and the feel of some of the the lines because not every line is created equal. So some of the lines I'm using the stir stick to drag across and other ones. I'm just pouring things down. This gold is rich gold shimmer from color obsession. Sorry, my jars are always gross. If you have a line that breaks, don't worry about it. It's natural. It's nature and nothing in nature is perfect. So never fret if something doesn't go exactly how you have it in mind. I don't want to go this way. You always want to have sweeping long lines. I think we're good with that particular gold. I'm going to go through the middle of it with this brighter gold to give kind of a highlight gold and once the heat hits this gold, it's going to make particles kind of float and give depth of color. That one went a little wonky, but that's fine. Now with every bit of color I add, it's going to change how everything else lays because when you add color or add resin, it's going to push everything outward. So keep that in mind. If you want super straight lines, maybe best to kind of put them on first and then do clear and then do other stuff. This one is not a wall display. It's a background for jewelry magazine shoot, which is why all the ones we've been doing here lately have been marble. So, but I could do a bigger version of this. Thank you, man. So I'm going to hit it with some heat and not a lot because I don't want to melt my lines. I want them to stay rigid. In fact, I'm not going to use that. I'm going to use the torch so that there's no air moving the piece. It's just making the particles in our floating gold come up to the surface. So it looks kind of like a string of tinsel. I'll show you guys up close in just a moment. And when I put this in the dust free zone to start to cure, let me turn a light on one moment. My goodness. Am I going to do this? Okay. Okay, wait. Sorry for all this shaking. Do you see how it's like blowing out in some bits that I don't know why it reminds me of like tinsel where some of the particles are floating? You can really see the difference in the shades and the color reflection between the two golds. You can see here, I laid all these lines straight, but it's kind of getting wonky a bit because I'm laying resin down so it's pushing everything outward. Judy, this is just a quarter inch MDF. Oh, thank you so much for saying that, Melissa. I love it. And some of the gold is sinking so the lines getting thinner. Yeah, the second one is definitely a surface or floating gold. So, yeah. So this is how I'm going to leave this piece. I'm probably going to leave it off tilt just a little bit so that some of the lines can sink and shift kind of like how this one is. This looks like this because the gold sank right here where the line starts and then the white came over it and pushed the golds this way. And so because the white was kind of transparent, it went over the gold making that deeper type of shadow because it was slightly off tilt. So I will do the same to this. I'll probably perch it a little bit up on this side so that this blank area can fill in just a little bit. Hello, Images by Gretchen. Thank you for coming in. So that's how I made this gray and gold marble piece. I hope you guys enjoyed it. I have another flood to do because this piece, you can see it right in there. See those blue looking dots? That's just reflecting these lights. They are divots. So I have to refled this one. But this is an alcoholic piece. If you guys want me to do a larger version of this, I'll do it for you guys on camera. Camera. So you guys. Very manly. The thing I love about that rich gold shimmer seal, that reaction, it like sells by itself without having anything going on with it. Anyways. Thank you guys for watching.
