 You're alive Hey, how's it going? I'm good Let me just turn my volume up here. Yeah, here we go This is what he's working on today The turtle. Yes. Yeah, so good. So far what we have is I Put this silicone caulking like shower caulking because I want to do the floor and these like And they ain't like quadrants, so we'll have like we'll have like eight tries to do something And this is the luck he's going for Yeah, and then we have this sample for you too Because I thought we could test some of the paint is running or the other things so we'll figure out what's the readiness pain Is that a good idea? Yeah Yeah, okay, and then we have we have rubbing alcohol, but I didn't bring silicone oil Just because I want to resin it so we can still get the effect I like your a chip glove there He's cut to cut the finger hole for his gloves. Yeah That's smart. I Hope I'm not breaking up You're good. Okay. Well, why don't I have six colors? Okay, so I'm just gonna bring that Just work them out and we'll see what one is thicker Okay, so I think that these will be really thin That one's a bit thicker What do you what is your what are you going for here? So Joanne said to me that Joanne, is it that thicker paint stayed at the bottom and The thinner stuff goes down So what you want to do is the thinnest paint is going to be the most dominant So hang on this ready. Yeah, I've just taken a course on acrylic pours. So it's fresh in my mind But basically the thinnest paint is the one that you want to go on the top So we have two things and that's going to be the most dominant they're doing like a flip cup We have two things to be into heavies Perfect. That's great. So Now this is how much pouring medium I have I don't know if it's gonna be enough But we'll see what we got You've got flow trough. What was that Joanne? Got flow trough Sorry, you were cutting out there. What did you say? Oh Do you have flow trough? Is that what you're using? No, I didn't get flow trough because I saw that it has like Mercury in it or something crazy Yeah, so I got this one Montmartre And I don't have to worry about that. No, it has um That's something bad like I actually wrote it on there like do not use. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah So what's the ratio? I didn't know that Are you just eyeballing it or is there a ratio for I'm just And then I Just want to use it all the way away. You can hear me or if I'm breaking up. We're breaking up. Hang on. I'm gonna move Where I have better internet hold on a second Thanks franchise she says I love this company. Let's go art resin You bring an art shirt right now Gonna get dirty They just get you just get dirty Okay, these are our thinnest ones here Yeah, so go ahead the secret the secret when it comes to working with a doing acrylic pours To vary up the viscosity of the paints and that's how you get all those really cool effects So you you can do that by using like different like heavy-body acrylics versus flow acrylics or you can do it by Changing up the amount of pouring medium you use so if you use more pouring medium, you'll get a thinner consistency Okay, so those are a couple of different ways you can change up the viscosity Okay, do you pour the thicker first or the thinner first? It depends what you want to be more dominant. So if you want The color that you put first is the thinnest and then that's gonna be the most dominant because it's gonna be on top when you do your Okay, and then if I pour that if I pour the thickest first would you which something still happen? You might get less cells and that the thickest paint that's gonna be the most dominant whatever comes out last will be the most dominant Yeah, you really have to mix it well to get those lumps out to get a really nice good consistency I Heard to that green greens tend to really dominate for some reason greens and oranges Dominate so if you want to use less of that or That might be I would do it on this first just to make sure that It's thick enough, so I think this one Well, you're also using different brands of paint right as well So that's really gonna help to cuz different brands have different formulations and then all of those You know different formulations are gonna interact with each other too Street yeah So depends if you use like artist grade paints or use like student grade paints that can also make a big difference because the student grade We'll have more like fillers and less pigment. Okay, so are you gonna put it into one cup? You can put it in one cup and then flip it. Oh Yeah, we that's that's one way to do it to do a flip cup so if you get one empty cup and then just pour each of your colors one at a time and then And then flip it on to the thing and then let all the paint settle and then lift your paint your cup up Okay Pour the paint sort of so it runs down the side of the cup that's that'll help it get less like muddy. Oh I see Kind of like when you're when you're pouring beer, you know Bubbles There's less is more here. I don't think I'm thinking it's just a lot of it's see what it wait and see what happens Hey, yeah, it's an experiment. That's totally what it is. Yeah There you go, so you can either lift the cup straight up once it kind of settles down to the bottom or you can kind of dry Get and lift it up and that'll help to Create some some effects Let's have a blow dryer to her Yeah, should we blow it around with a blow dryer? You know, you don't need to well I guess it's on a big panel, right? So you can't really tilt it. Well, we could tilt it There you go So now you want to look at it and see if there's any areas that you like like or areas that you don't like and then I don't like this color. Okay That's a no-go. Please after another experiment Yeah, but that one needs to be mixed better though So if you tilt it it's gonna start changing as well and then because there's all kinds of stuff happening underneath the surface as well So if there's areas that you like then tilt away from those to preserve them There you go, you can see some cells starting there If you use a torch on it, too, that'll help to promote cells Grab a torch You need more like or like a teal color Vibrant Can help Dave to if you like to mix it it can help if you put the paint in the cup first and then add your pouring medium Okay That might help reduce like the lumps. Oh nice. Okay Good tips good tips So we'll try a torch and then what about rubbing alcohol was that a thing too? I know of you can use like to get cells you can use like silicone oil like you said But we know that that doesn't react very well with resin I've heard you can use a little shot of like WD-40 also Okay, okay, just Pour into it and torch it Okay Okay Let's try it again. Let's try it in gotta get something cool here There's another technique as well, which I've seen so it's called a tree ring pour So with that one you put your your layer your colors You don't need to pour it down the side you pour it in the middle of the cup and layer all your colors And then what you do is pour it onto the center of your panel In really like tight circles and the circles get bigger and bigger as you pour kind of like tree rings And then the the paint will kind of spread from the center out and that's that's super cool too Okay, so it seems like it's very common to put all the colors in the same Yes, yeah And with the tree ring pour your first color is going to be the most the most dominant First color Three colors Big experiment here. It really is. Yeah And there's so many different techniques too. So then you're gonna pour in really a slow steady circular motion Really small circles at first and then They get bigger and bigger and bigger. There you go. That's it. Perfect And you can see all those concentric lines. Yeah, that's better Some artists make it look so easy. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing Yeah, and then the paint will start spreading. Yeah, that's better and then And again, you you can tilt that as well to kind of like exaggerate those lines, but you get really nice like crisp lines I'm hesitant to add any oils like a Yeah, I you don't I mean you don't necessarily need to like to get cells like it's Changing up the viscosities. It's using the pouring medium The oils are are optional. Okay. I'm not seeing tons of cells though Yeah, no Like how do we get more things other cells? And it really it depends on the um on the amounts of paint that you use I think in the pouring medium, you know, like the different viscosities Maybe all the paint is too too similar viscosity So what what it is is like the thinner paint kind of Goes on last and it gives way to the heavier paint and it kind of just breaks up and makes holes So that's what's happening. So maybe you need to like vary up your um thicknesses I wanted to make um What color did I like this color? Yeah into that color there Yeah, all right, let's just put it on there now I'm gonna make and then I do I just have a little bit of this yellow pop through What will we do if we don't like it? What if you what if you do it as you try it the first time when it drops and then just drop drop drops In the same in different cups and then just like Oops, I will try a bunch of different techniques. So this is our really Where's this color this I think I'm gonna have to read the flow trial label and see what's in there Yeah, everyone seems to use it. So I just bought it kind of, you know, didn't even think about it I think there's the one So I think the most people use the australian And the one that I'm pretty sure the one that had leaven it is from here Oh, okay. So I think it's from like the automotive industry. I think flow trial There's this artist So this is a no Can you pass me that one? Yep Is it shelly art blooms joanne? Um Her last name she she's a Like the yellow core and Lots of his classes lots of people take her classes and that's how at least yang Yes, yeah, I think I know that one that artist. Yep. It's really it's a lot harder than it looks. That's for sure Yeah, and there's definitely like a science behind it as well That's the best way to learn right Okay. Yeah, we got bright bright a bit of dark So we'll use these four colors. What do you think? You want this one too? Not that one. No, okay three colors. Yeah, okay. So you want to try a couple techniques There's I've also seen one where Since people use they put the layers in on a dustpan and then they just like Wave it out. We don't have a dustpan, but we could do this cup and then just like do zigzags I've also seen like doing it over like a cookie cutter Or you know the bottle the bottom of the bottle is kind of like notches Yeah, and you cut the bottom off and pour it So it kind of goes like a fountain like it spouts on four or five sides. Yeah Just goes to you, right? Yeah Hi This will be this one first I think that one has like the best ratio of medium to paint I just You can also um add white in there too Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah It's a good idea. You're testing first before you do it on your so we always say right test before you do it on your masterpiece Exactly. Yeah So, you know exactly what to expect not exactly So I have four come on more colors more colors more colors No there Okay, well that side might be like it might be dark And we can tilt it you want to tilt it a little bit so it spreads out So I'm just gonna put this upside down Can always mix up more That was a great idea to use silicone to break up your um your portion out your areas. Yeah Okay, so I'll mix that one of these I did half of it Now you go through a lot of this stuff, eh? Yeah I found it kind of difficult to find this part medium Did you did you go to a paint store or like Yeah, some people use white school glue as well like a mixture of white school glue and water You can do that too, but I've heard that using water like when you're doing acrylic pours it can um the paint will crack I've enjoyed so See what happens We're doing it Yeah, because if you could use I want to do more tests later with just this white Because you can do that this is That way cheaper. Yeah, you know Dave you should go back and watch. Remember we did that dutch The dutch pour video with pristine Fitzgerald. We did that sunflower Yeah, so she uses glue and water and she talks about her kind of recipe Oh, how she does it. So if you go back and refer to that video or the blog The information is there She gave a lot of really great tips Yeah, she's been experimenting. Yes. Yeah Yeah, so dutch pouring that's another type of acrylic pouring as well. There's so many different variations And so that uses a hairdryer I think to push push the paint. Yeah What do we have here now? So this is school glue And I this is much thicker than The pouring medium. Yeah way thicker like two things. So that's why she uses water. I think to thin it out. Yeah Okay, thank you just Just gonna get some water I like your color palette though Yeah, the teals and the yellows and the greens. It looks really nice Yeah, I want to start trying to use happy colors. Mm-hmm. Yeah I was wondering like google what are happy colors just red could be angry, you know, but To me like yellow yellow is such a happy color yellow I think a sky blue like a fresh sky blue. Yeah Okay So I need to add some color to these too I'm gonna just do this. We're all right. So I'm gonna lift these cups Bring the camera over there. I'm just gonna try and fill up the space To the floor kind of mirror that one. So Dave did you get lots of inspiration in Paris? Oh my goodness. Yeah. Yeah Notes and notes. Yeah. Oh, that's amazing. Rebecca. Rebecca's been painting a lot now too Can I show the picture? Yeah. Yeah. Look at this beauty right here Oh, yeah. Yeah, I've seen that in Dave's videos. It's gorgeous. It's huge too. Wow It's two panels. Oh, it's two panels. Okay. Well, it's so pretty I love those colors. I know I'm look at the detail in it Wow Okay All right, okay, I'm okay with this so far So the idea is once it's all dry, I'll just be able to peel off the silicone. Yeah That will look beautiful. That's perfect. Yeah, and I'll probably go over top of it with some like Gold foil. Oh good. Yeah. Yeah. Well, this is gonna be gold foil. Okay. Silver and gold. Oh, okay But yeah, I'm not just out of this And then you'll resin the whole thing That's right. I mean I have so much stuff to resin soon. Yeah, that's great. It's gonna look amazing Yeah, that color looks nice in there that darker green. Yeah Um, okay. So here's what we have left Let's just fill this thing up That one's poor or good one too. Yeah, they look amazing. Yeah What day are you on today? What day is it for 100 days of art? It's on my calendar Is it day 50 today? Not yet. We're getting close to day 50. Yeah, I think we're like halfway through now Almost I know I can't wait Oops I've been organizing all of my supplies lately and not actually making art But I guess that's still an important part of it All my stuff was everywhere. So I bought some pegboard panels and I hung up everything. It's so much better now Oh, you should have um put a tripod behind you getting organized. I love Oh, I know I should have done. Yeah, thank you there Yeah, yeah, actually I've got more shelves to put up. I bought these little acrylic um shelves for holding nail polish bottles And I'm going to put all of my paints and my um resonant and my alcohol inks I'll film that Yeah, yeah, it definitely seems like most of your time has spent cleaning and organizing. Yeah Almost more than the painting or ordering supplies and like you have them ready to go And then you just have to pull the trigger and do the project. Yeah I just found when I was looking for stuff. I was tearing through like Bins and boxes and stuff and just making such a mess. So Yeah, I got to get organized Oh, this looks like almost gold. I'm gonna do some gold in here. Oh, I like that. I love gold Okay, I got some pretty gold Oops Is that is that a mica powder? I don't know Where is that gold coming? I don't know what it's there for. You know, I probably picked off from here something there Let's take a closer look here. Is there gold in there? Right over here. It's accidentally. Oh, how cool I know. Oh, that's neat. Oh, it looks beautiful So now I just I want to find like a place to match, you know, okay I love your color palette Dave with the black and the hold it looks so nice with those teals and Yeah, when you resin black just yeah Clunk this up Sorry my wobbly camera work here He said he might add some some pink in there as well. Oh, yeah And the other side. Yeah, like have you seen those cats? Yeah No, I haven't seen the cats. What are the cats cats? Do you have any cats in here? They made a bunch of painting for the cat of cat for what was that for? Or for the shoot for the okay for the commercial. Yeah, so Anyway, they're black. They're black and they're just like all these neon Pinks and oranges and yellows and it's they're really cool. Oh, that's so cool Okay, I feel like I almost filled everything up I'll fix some leaks Then I'll add some gold Then we'll just play around with other ideas for cells and then Yeah, try running the torch over it and seeing to see if you get more cells. I remember Christine. Um, that was one of her tips Okay I mean if you had alcohol in there, that'd be might be a thing too Oh, what if you took your paint brush and just like flicked gold flecks? Oh, that's a good idea Yeah Or um Even with the pink like if you took a toothbrush and put the put the pink on it and then just like flick to the bristles and I think people do that. That's yeah, that's a great idea. I think the pink will be just back a little bit. Yes. Yeah From this angle Oh, yeah That's so cool Again, my favorite part of this is that's all it's just two lines to make the Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That's right. Rebecca said she didn't abuse it. Rebecca's like A lot of really great stuff Oh, that's one of means a lot coming from you guys. Thank you I did a bunch of stuff for um for that resin craft blog. It was really fun. Yeah. Yeah All right, I got some leaks here, but I'm just gonna let the leak Okay, so we were going to get gold Yeah Oh Tracy's in the house here Oh, hey, hi Tracy. Tracy. Hi Tracy. TP. I love watching Dave Dewart Me too. Okay All right, next is Gold we miss you too, Tracy Tracy Tracy, do you have time to snow? and We're supposed to get some today Yeah, we're getting some tomorrow here in Indianapolis. Okay I'm excited there. I'm too excited there I wonder how long this is going to take to dry for a pretty long time Yeah, I think so and you want to make sure it's really dry before you resin it. That's for sure Yeah, I think it's going to take a while because it's it's quite sick. Yeah Gold Am I putting it in the gold here? Going really? um Well No Just do that. Oh Is that paint or mica powder? It's mica powder That's why you do a task first. You don't do that and get gold in your Tracy says yes to the gold. Yeah, it looks amazing. What's going to fill up those picks up the big slide Should I like move it around too or just let it be just let it be because I think it will get muddy if you Stephanie's here. Stephanie says this is going to be a nice day Awesome Okay, I like it you too. It's messy. It's good. We got some more leaks. Maybe I'll think of a leak solution I got a leak solution. Okay Last to see Oh, good idea Yeah And then we'll try the torch over and see what happens. Oh, yeah I love acrylic pour paint it. You never know what you're gonna get but it's super forgiving too because you know If you don't like it you can paint over it or you can pour more on top of it once it's dried I should Last to see Fill the leak see if I can grab my paint Show you I did this one if you can see that I love the pour Look at this and I didn't I didn't like it. It was the entire panel So what I did was I just painted blue around it and did like a white circle And then did gold leaf and made a tree and then of course I resin the whole thing. Yeah It's really cool. Yeah, it turned out really great. So I took, you know, something that I wasn't happy with and Made it into something else. Exactly. Yeah I found a tutorial online by this amazing painter Veronica me and she had a similar project. So I love it so much. So you're saying your whole canvas was the pour in the middle And then you just paint it over top of that. Yeah, and I did it backwards So what happened was I didn't want the green to be so dominant I actually had a lot of dark blue in there, but I put them in the wrong order in my cup And I flipped it out and the whole thing was green Which is not the look I was going for I was trying to do like a northern lights type idea Did you put silicone oil in your paint? No, no. And did you get cells in yours? I did. Yeah, I just um I think I put wd-40 in in one of the colors, but I made sure I really changed up the viscosity of the paints Right and the way I layered them was right. I just did it backwards Oh, thanks Steph Okay There's that crack this one's still leaking Okay, oh, they're all still leaking but it's okay. They're they're much better than they were I'll just like scrape that off. Yeah as they thicken up. It'll be easier to wipe up Oh, yeah, okay. Good point. So I kind of babysit it Sweet. Yeah, that's good Dave That's rich Yeah, thanks Jaren Now you get the satisfaction of crossing it off your list No Maybe a little turn up, but I love that gold in there. I really Another element Yeah, I didn't see what kind of paint um Dave was using if it was all the same type But if you really like if you use heavy body, um artist paint from the tube and you mix it with more fluid acrylics And just change it all up. Yeah, this is just dollar store paint and I'm pretty sure I I used some of that too. I used that exact color actually in in mine as well WD4 you just see if it doesn't even Like that Jaren or mix it in Um, well, when you mix it into your medium and you're like when it's in the cup, I'm not sure if it's going to do anything now I think it is doing some cool things. Oh, is it? Oh, yeah Oh, yeah, so it is. Oh, that's cool. I want to do this Maybe try it on the smallest one And you just need like a weave it All right, we're going we're going all in I'm just going for the spots Okay, good TBD So I just wipe it really dry before I resin it Mm-hmm Yeah Yeah, the WD4 you should like evaporate Okay, well, I think we should just say it's good. Okay. I'm not muck around with it. It's a good idea It's way brighter than I thought it was going to be which is good I'd say that looks that looks very happy. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you Jaren. Thank you, Jessica. All right. No problems. Thank you Dave Okay, and if anyone's watching let us know if you want us to do stuff like this Yeah, or if you have any tips on how we can or any different techniques It's great. And next time I'll do I'll do smart at the same time with you guys. Yeah, great idea. Oh, sweet. Okay. Okay. All right See you
