 Alright, so it's Sunday. I have to remind myself when I'm live because I forget. It's bad. It's pretty bad. And so yeah, it's Sunday. So I'm here to art you guys. If you're new, welcome. Hi. I'm Erica with me as my co-star Bowie. Jeff's over yonder as is Moo. You'll hear him coughing a little bit later. AKA Louisa. And we're artists till death. We go live every day, usually at 6 p.m. Central. I'm really today. Whoops. Except for on Tuesdays. We do 2 p.m. Central. And it's usually resin art. Sometimes it's other kinds of art, but it's always art. And it's usually live so that I can interact with you guys and answer questions as we go. So if you have any questions about this medium or anything else, if I know the answer, then I'm happy to share it with you guys. So since you're here, please leave me your thumbs and subscribe. I'd love to have you as part of the fam. I'm trying to grow. So also, if you've got a moment, share our video. If you like it, if you don't like it, share it with someone you don't like. It's ruin their day. Hi Bowie. You want to get down? Okay, go stand in front of your fan. So at the end of this, I'll show you guys how the bear piece turned out yesterday and also some of the other things that I'm working on, which is why I'm doing a short live today. So yeah, what's up Karen, Crystal, Susan, Shane, Lisa, Diane, T.G., Christine, Betty, Lynette, Nancy. No, I missed some at the top. Chris Karen Marine. Missed you yesterday. Sorry about that. Hi, Michelle. Um, we decided to take a day. And if we don't go live, I usually post in ATDs, Poor People, which is our Facebook group so that you guys know what goes on if we're not here. Oh, you guys are in lockdown in Australia. That's no bueno. I fear that that's probably in the future for the states as well. Hey Tiffany, how are you? I hope you had an awesome birthday. Joe, Stephanie, Lisa. So I went ahead and mixed the resin because of the projects and I'm going to show you guys in a little bit. Um, I got to kind of get there. Tammy Anderson, I heard there was beautiful, incredibly talented, amazingly kind hunk of ham live on youtube. So I came to say, hey girl, I am a kind hunk of ham. So what's up? Um, hey Jen Germs, if you haven't checked out Tammy's channel, she's an awesome acrylic poor artist. We're going to be doing some collabs soon. I still have one collab that I need. Well, it's not a collab. We just art it together that I need to edit. Hey Susan, is this named after our Judy? It sure is. This is named after Judy Sand, whose favorite color is purple. So we requested that color passion make. Um, a paint in her honor since she's done a whole whole lot to help our channel out and they were kind enough to oblige. So I went ahead and mixed my resin. It's a one-to-one resin and I used equal parts and now I'm pouring out too much resin because I really want a negative space situation. So I don't need that much color. This is a 12 inch cradleboard that I prepped with a very deep purple spray paint from Montana. If you happen to remember the name off the end, I don't either. So since I'm doing negative space very back to our swipe days, I'm going to swipe this one. Uh, I'm not making a lot of different colors. Nope. Yeah, I'm not making a lot of different colors and I'm not making a lot of each individual color because I really want it negative space and the more colored resin you make the less negative space will be represented. So that's why I only have like half an ounce in each of these little cups. Right, isn't it a nice purple? So not doing that color yet. I don't know what I'm doing. First color I'm going to mix up is this Judy shimmer, which I while it is open, I think Jeff reviewed it one time. I haven't used it and so I'm very excited to check it out. These pastes, the color passion paste are also base tints or base cell activators and what that means is that it's going to be the reason for my cells. So I'm going to do that and I'm not going to use these other two because they're also base cell or color passion paste. Any color passion paste will create really awesome cells assuming that the other variables in your artwork are also conducive to cell generation making cell making. We'll say cell making. I'm going to use black currant from colored session next and while black currant sounds like it would be a black color, it is actually a deep deep purple. Let me like scrape some off of this. Maybe you can see it on the nope, you're gonna have to see it after I mix it up because it's just gonna look black until that point. Good wording. Thanks. Thanks. Good wording. Thanks. I have my moments of good wording. Most of the time words are hard. And it's evident. Angel white is good. Titanium from Just Resin is good. And also Snow white color obsession. Today I'm going to be using Titanium. I've also used mermaid trash white, which is pretty good. System three. I've gotten to work pretty well. It's pretty good. Casting craft will work as long as it's not too thin and it's a paste you should be good to go. Also assuming all your other variables will work. Okay, I'm also going to do some silver. For this silver, I'm using aluminum powder from Just Resin. I don't usually use a lot of powders, but since I don't usually use a lot of powders, I like to mix it in every once in a while just to showcase the different looks that a powder can give you. And the last color I'm going to mix up is carnation pink from Just Resin. It is apparently also the lid to my pink sherbet. So that's fun. This is a non-shimmer matte bubblegum pepto-y pink. I can't get this lid on. If I get words right, then I'm on a different struggle bus. Never fails. Something and then it's always going to be difficult. But that's fine. So let's mix these colors. So this is a Judy Shimmer base cell activator tint paste from Color Passion. It's got a beautiful like platinum periwinkle lavender pearlescent look to it. Super fun. The carnation pink. Oh, there's low wheezy. On cue. If you're new, I have a palm. He's an elder palm, 13. And he has a heart condition. Has nothing to do with resin. So save it. I've heard it. I've talked to his vet, not the case. This one is a black currant from Color Obsession. We'll start to see the purple now up on the... Here we go. It's like a deep violet-y indigo purple. And then titanium white from just resin. Oh, for sure, Tammy. I always... My general... Let me start again. Tammy says it's good to have some of that shimmer and some that don't in order to give the eye a place to rest and make the shimmer stand out so much more. And I agree. My standard palette or color theory when I do a piece is to have either a black or a white. Some form of a metallic. So in this case, it'll be silver. Usually it's a gold. And I like to have at least one shimmer and at least one flat. And in terms of the main color, I'll pick it. And then a secondary color that's opposite of the color wheel typically to accent the color. Because if you pull colors that are opposite on the color wheel, it'll make your main color that much more vibrant. I can go on and on and on about color theory, though. If you guys aren't going to do a video explicitly on color choice and why some colors work together and some don't, I'd be happy to do that for you guys. This is the aluminum powder from just resin. Except Kim Alpha. You had a dream about these colors last night on Dolls? Okay. That sounds creepy. All right, so for my next trick, I'm going to put a little bit of this bling it violet into my this. And this is going to be applied over the entire surface and it's going to act as my grease the pan. I'm going to do a thick clear all over the whole thing so that you can see through it and it'll give depth to the piece. It'll look like a two-layer piece essentially, but it's just one layer. So this is a sparkling interference. You can't really see it until the light catches it and then it's more evident. You'll more be able to see it once it's on the board that we've got here. So I've got some resin on my gloves from mixing the colors because all of my jars are always dirty. So I'm going to use my notch trowel stick that you can get from our website artistildeth.com to move my resin around. If I were to try to use my glove hand, which is fine, I still do that very often. I would end up transferring the color from my gloves and I could leave a streak, which would be not good since I want this to be a negative space piece with very open application, paint flow. There's a word. I haven't figured it out yet what word I'm going to use for that. You guys have suggestions? I'm going to spill this everywhere. Let's move the colors so I don't get resin in them that shouldn't be there. I like the notch stir stick because it's offset. So I don't run the risk of running my knuckles through the piece, which I have done before. It's not a good time. And then also it will distribute the resin. But see that pattern? It's leaving an eighth inch of resin there as well while we move the rest of it around. So you don't have to worry about scraping everything onto one side of the surface. Okay, so maybe you can kind of see that shimmer you can see it in the notch lines a little bit. Right. Let's heat this up. Hey, Clara. TG, this shimmer was blowing it violet from resin. So when I do a negative space, when I do swipes, I try not to have too much heat on the piece because the resin doesn't like it when you're trying to use a base tint or cell activator for your design. So the cell activator that I have is this Judy shimmer. I'm going to put it on first because it needs to be under my other colors. It's finished all by itself right there. So it needs to be under the other colors to work. I always have to repeat myself when I teach a class on this. Take your time when you swipe and don't put a whole bunch of color down if you want the negative space to show. I used to give the example or what's the word? Not example, the instance that if you go to a buffet but you don't want to eat a lot, then don't put that much stuff on your plate. Get a small plate and don't put a lot in it. That's kind of the comparison to why I use small cups and then don't put a lot of resin in it. So I won't make so much therefore I won't be tempted to apply so much onto the surface thinking I have to use it all. Which waste is done? I mean waste is not good. So I understand that but if you want negative space you have to apply as little color as possible. That may cover up your negative space. Okay Ms. lay down. So this is a black currant. I typically put light colors next to dark colors because when I swipe them out they'll layer really nicely and you'll see a gradation I guess in between the colors. This one is a carnation pink by just resin. I'm going to put another line of the Judy shimmer through here. And I'm going to add some white. A lot of people especially if they come from an acrylic background think that the white is what causes cells which is very common with acrylic cores. But with resin it's a little bit different in that it's about what's in the paint as opposed to the weight of the paint which is kind of what creates cells a lot of the time in acrylic cores. What's that kiwi? So this is the aluminum I'm going to add now. I'm going to add just one more line of the black currant. And the reason why I'm doing that I usually wouldn't add this much paint over but when you swipe you want to put your swiping paper in any color that's not your base paste. Which in this instance is going to be the Judy shimmer. So I'm going to take a piece of paper. You can use any heavy weighted paper that you like. And I'm going to place it like I said a second ago in any color that's not the Judy shimmer. So that will be the black currant, the silver and the carnation for this white. You want to let it soak up a little bit of paint. And then take your time pulling it outward. That pink is just disappearing. You can already see some of the cells coming up. Okay I always like to heat up the first swipe that I do just so that I can see what it's going to do if I need to make any corrections with my pigments at all. I always like to trail off my swipes so you can see it is thicker on this side than it is on this side because I swipe down to one corner as I pull it out. Okay cells. And I really want more pink represented so I'm going to put a little bit of this carnation just right on our swiping paper. You should call this a ditch swipe. Now I'm going to lay that right in our resin. Take my time swiping that out. I'm going to continue down this line of color that I have. I am Susan, thank you. I appreciate your asking. So I think it's looking pretty amazing so far. So now I'm going to do the other side and I always recommend that people pick a direction to pull. Don't cross them because then it looks kind of busy and confusing for the average person that's just looking at it. It's no bueno so pick a flow pick direction and keep it consistent. Always pull towards you not away from you so you don't risk having a swiping paper that you pull out this way and then possibly dribble back on because it's I guess a reflex once you fully extended your arm to just come right back to you and you don't want that. Just if you pull away from you just drop the swiping paper or just don't swipe away from you. Then when you do the other side pro tip just turn your piece around. I say pro tip like it's a joke but I I did this a few times before I was like oh yeah I can just I can just turn it around whatever. Okay so now we're going to pull this way to my left as opposed to to the right a second ago so we're going to pull to the left so that everything's flowing in the same direction and it'll look more consistent. Let the paper soak up a little bit of resin a little slowly. Also something is going to be an important point but I forgot what I was saying. That's a pretty one and I haven't really added any heat to any part of this except for this area here that's already basically maxed out on cells. When I add heat to this other bit you'll see the same sort of thing happen. Now if you wanted to swipe out and not have the cells just don't put the base cell in that area. Well thank you Tammy. Do enjoy the swipes. I did well we did two tours in Australia and both times it was basically centered and concentrated on this technique. Negative swipe, swipe that's not words. Negative space swiping and restraint knowing when to quit etc. So let's hit it with some heat and see what we got. Now you don't want to add too much heat because your cell structure won't be good if you heat it too much because when you heat resin you thin it out and when resin's really thin it's going to want to flow more it's going to want to flow off the board more and the more it moves the less words the less defined your cell structure will be. So this is very lace very very hard lines but the more heat you add the more blurry it could get because it's just moving more so do yourself a favor practice restraint with the heat because not going to do yourself any febos with it. Hey Donna Parker it's been great I hope you have an amazing day. So I think I'm really okay with this I'm pretty happy with how the piece looks so I'm going to walk away from this one. Once it sets I'll be able to show you more in detail the depth from having such a thick under layer the flood that we did initially and let's keep moving and settling for the next couple hours so I'll be checking in on it making sure nothing's really changed. One second and take this to dust free and I'll be our bee. You look at my this looks like this. Thanks. You can hardly see what it actually looks like without the lights on dust free zone check. I'm just going to grab a couple posters because I have a little bit of resin left over and we don't waste resin. Left over resin means time to experiment for something new that you don't want to mix fresh resin for because don't want to waste it. Don't have any clear. I don't even know if I have enough for three posters but we're going to do our best here. Well thank you alpha. It's much time right. I appreciate that crystal core. You guys are so sweet thank you. I'm just doing a bunch of different color bases and I guess since I have the time I can show you guys what happens if your base paste happens to end up on top of your other colors because people ask me quite often I mean why does it have to be on the bottom can it just be anywhere and make the same results and the answer is not. It has to be on the bottom because of whatever magic is mixed into the color passion paste. It has to be under the other colors in order to make that dispersion happen to create the cells like that. Five dollar word I just used dispersion. Me and words are doing all right today. What's up tutor? Okay so we got our bases done. I'm going to show you the difference in a base pasting on top and on the bottom. So with this one this light purple the Judy purple is our base base so it's going to have to be under the other colors. So this is the one I'm going to show you what happens when it's under the other colors. So I'm just going to smush this around. My only concern was making sure that the other colors were on top of that Judy purple which we did. Now on this one I'm going to swipe this Judy purple over the other colors. Now let's get some heat. Let's see what happens. You can already see some cells popping up here right. I'm just going to move these aside so you can still see them while I'm doing this other coaster but I'm not going to do anything with them till they relax and make magic. Meow then we got this one down here. You can make this one a smush. I'm out of little cups so I'm just going to put it right there. Impressive word use. Thank you. Thank you. And some pink. Essentially all I'm doing on this one is applying a bunch of color so that I can smush it on top of this purple one. It essentially does not matter what this one that looks like. Leave which one? This one? The Judy shimmer one? You're saying I should let this one live? Answer quick. So we'll let this one live. Put it over yonder. Get a new cup. Would it be good to spray paint the coasters white or any color and then do the colors? Sure. The reason why I'm not really worried about that on these is because all of these colors are opaque. You technically won't be seeing through which is why you would really need to create a base painting. You need to make most of this one the Judy shimmer because that's what's going to give us all of our reaction. See, I'm just putting this on our raw MDF coasters and you can't see through it. Okay. Now the rest of this black current and white. Y'all just hear me out on this one, okay? I know it looks hot mess but we're going to smush it and see if we can make magic. Susan, are you talking about the just resin giveaway from last week? Sorry for that movement. I just hit the charging cord. Yes, I did pull winners. I can't remember who they were but I'll go grab the winners in a moment. Okay, I'm going to smush so that some of the filling comes out and give it a quarter turn like that. Now we're going to just easily just do this. This is going to be super cool looking. Just trying to wipe my hand off with one hand, not easy. That is pretty. I feel like if I try to do this on a larger scale, it wouldn't really work. I try to do it with the 12 by 12 and it, I thought it was going to take the jaws of life to separate the two. That he says my smush has never come out of school as yours. The trick to a good smush is to be very haphazard with your application. It's my favorite part right there. A little broken butterfly wing of cells right there. Oh yeah. All right, I'm going to take these bad boys to the DFZ right back and here's the results of our, this is why we put the base under the other colors. You can see here, it did a little bit of something, not really a lot. This one did all of the things. So I'm going to smush these because they don't really, as just sample pieces, they don't really look like they're doing anything. We're going to smush so that some resin comes out of all the sides. That way you're sure that there's no gaps or breaks in your resin. I'm going to give it a quarter turn, beam bomb boom. Say the magic words. Wipe my hands off. We'll hit it with heat and see what we got. I live haphazardly. Well then the smush should be no problem for you. Purple up to my elbows. So this is the one you guys wanted me to let live. It's doing some magic all on its own because this is the cell activator color. So it's kind of just trying to make it, make some action happen anyways. Yeah, they smoothed out. In fact, they're almost smooth now, but they'll continue to relax and do amazing things. This looks like clouds to me. This wispiness right here. Love it. We'll let that one live. This one looks like a spider web almost. I like smushes because you never really know how it's going to turn out. It's like a box of chocolates. A smush is like a box of chocolates, okay? And only a resin person will understand that. I'm going to pick up a couple of these cups. Calm down, Miss. And I'll show you the completed pieces from the last couple of days. All right, Miss. A lot of you very neat and tidy ladies out there would probably lose your mind if you saw how messy my paint jar. Sorry. I just need to clean this up. Well, no more purple. Yes, I woke up like this and I'm sorry. I look like this. So what do we got? There's the panda. I'll do a true color video on this guy. I did this one yesterday, so if you're interested in seeing how it happened, it looks kind of like that new glitter we want, doesn't it? All right, Miss. Go lay down. Nothing's happening right now. You didn't miss anything. Okay, come here. Mooper wants to say hi. This is Luigi. And he just wants attention. He knows it's almost time for the end of the feed. And he likes to cough to get his way, even when he doesn't actually have to cough. I'll show you our big bean in a minute. Okay. And then this piece I'm working on as a sample piece for a client. I am creating a video, so don't get mad that I haven't done a video on it. Okay, Miss. Lay down. So yeah, this actual bad boy will be seven feet. Have a drink on me, girlfriend. Oh, Tammy, where's my, do you want me to make a pamping arrow sound? He could do so much better and he knows it. So working on that piece, that is layer one done. Now I'll show you the other piece that I'm working on. Wait for it, wait for it. Yes. Sorry, I look like this today. Pop art lip piece. I should get this done today. It's essentially finished, but I got to do some shading. Yes, Tammy, you're an actual real life doll. Also, I just got in some thing. Hey, there's you guys. I just got in some lures, and you guys will be getting an email about it. So if you've been wanting the Angel White or some of her other amazing colors, get to getting because Angel White sells out super fast. The lips are always the favorite. Well, thank you, Pamela. Hey, Bamp. Yes, Tammy is amazing as all of you guys are that join us. So yeah, we're working on piece seller replace and also something we got to go down to Austin. And sorry, on Wednesday. So we'll be down there. Well, that's rude. We'll be going down there to finish that countertop that we had to completely start over for the Austin place. Okay, Bowie. Bowie wants to say hi. So come with me. There he is. So yeah, yes, big boys. All right, you guys. Thank you so, so much for watching and seeing what we're up to today. I hope you learned something. We're entertained or I could educate you about something. Okay, okay. We'd love to having you. Please share a video. Please subscribe. Leave me your thumbs. And on yesterday's video, you can leave me a comment about what animal you think I should paint next. Okay, Moose, hold on. And if you I'll be doing a drawing on Monday. If you get drawn, then you get a shirt. Oh, sorry, Susan. I'm gonna pull the names for who won the last one. Coming to my shop. This is my shop. This is where all the paint magic lives. Okay, so the people that won are Ms. Earley, Melissa, and Leslie. And they have till Monday to get in touch with me to claim their prize. Otherwise, I'm gonna do another drawing. So yeah. Okay, Moose. That's enough. Hey. Hey, what do you, what are you gonna cough right now? You're okay. We're gonna go. Just hold on. See how he stops when I talk to him. He knows. He knows. All right, you guys. Have an awesome day. Thanks for coming in and seeing all up to today. You guys are amazing. We love you so much. Enter our giveaway and you'll look out for an email with a discount code for the LaRez restock. So for the shirt drawing, if you go into yesterday's video and comment what animal you think I should paint next, that'll enter you in the drawing. And then I'll draw names from those. He knows. And so anyways, you're awesome. Have an awesome day. We'll see you tomorrow. We love you guys. We kind of want another. We never know what someone's going through. So you don't have to. See you tomorrow. Bye. Great. Round off the cat. What do you think, Bowie? That's not yours. Silly boy. Miss. You're okay. Just calm down. We're going.
