 Hey guys, we are here with the fifth and final step for our five steps to a beautiful canvas or Fabulous canvas our Monday with Deco art series inspired by Shannon Greene's journaling by fives. Yeah, all right So in our fifth and final step, it's free play I'm going to show you some new stuff I just got in from Deco art that we're gonna that I'm gonna use on this in this final step And then we're gonna set the timer and we'll have to get started So let me put this up right here right now and let me share some things with you Now some of these things were sent to me by Deco art and some I bought from Amazon So if you are interested in any of the products you've seen in this video or any of the Monday with Deco art videos go to Deco art comm and they have a Online store. You can also find a list of available Retailers in your area that carry their products The first thing I got which we're not going to use today But we will be using on the upcoming projects for sure as I got a bunch of the Americana Deco page papers This one is called vintage silhouette Silver trends Gold stag paisley punch metallic type Silver basics Gold basics gold trends Safari life Arrows I love there's something about this one. I love this one. I also love this one Victorian romance Which is usually not my thing, but there's something about this combination of papers and maybe it's the colors. I'm not sure iCat Moroccan Ship to shore I love the blueprint one in here and these are all tissue type collage papers So right up my alley thin collage papers. I love that tribal and Old worlds fabulous collage papers. I can't wait to use them in some upcoming projects I also got some refills of some things or some things I didn't have before from them Some things I was running out of Of course the traditions artist acrylic paint aquamarine, you know, you all know I was probably running out of that first, right? I love their traditions artist acrylic paints really great affordable artist quality paints. I love them And I love that color. I got some more fabric painting medium drying time extender and Cream wax because I wanted to try it. I don't know if it would be a good replacement for daddy vans or not I'm not sure so you might see a Monday with Dekker warts video coming up where I do an experiment on this with This versus daddy vans, so we might see because this I think might be a little easier to get we'll find out and Then I got this which is the Dekker wart media satin varnish Can't wait to use that too and we may use this on the canvas We're gonna work on today when it's all said and done and dry I may use this on there and I may at some point share it with you after it's been sealed and varnished so Then I was doing a little research for this fifth step and what I wanted to use I really wanted to use paint pens, but this is Monday with Dekker art, right? So I wanted to use a Dekker art paint pen and I thought hmm. They even have one. I didn't know well. Guess what they do Now they have these these paint pens that are glass paint markers. These are intended for Non-porous surfaces glass tile ceramics But I tested them on acrylic painted paper and they work just fine So initially I bought black and white from Amazon. That's these two here And I also found out they have these paper effects Dekker art paper effects These are like a paint writer and they dry dimensional And so I got some of these two to try and I may use these on here, too I'm not sure yet. I definitely will be using them in upcoming projects. I got these from Amazon and This color is Black pearl these are a little bit some of these are a little bit pearlescent so I got gold pearl Amethyst pearl And peacock gold which I just love don't you love that green color? So that's gonna be fun to use and I have an idea for these again on a future project But when I was placing my refill order for Some of the products I was running low on and the deco posh papers I asked my coordinator about you know these paint pens Can we get them because I have this project? I'm working on here's a link to the video and Is there any way I can only afford black and white is there any way I could get more colors? She's sent me a box of them So they don't come in tons of colors, but they do come in some really great colors I want to share with you guys before we get started and I may be using these in our 15 minutes So I have yellow We'll open them as we go orange Citron gotta be able to get them open Green The Citron is like a light yellowy green and this is just your regular primary green Silver I didn't even know they made these and so now that I have all these colors You may see a future project where we're decorating a coffee cup or something because I should save the back one of these Let's save the back of one of these so I have the directions red Because I'm thinking you know a doodle coffee cup or something would be fun Black another black one, which is great because I can already tell you that's probably gonna be the color that gets used the most The one that doesn't want to come open There we go brown fuchsia And they have a turquoise. Yay violet turquoise Any paint pens come in turquoise or good paint pens? Another white one, which is great So if you can only afford two paint pens You're on a budget get black and white. They're gonna be the two colors you use the most anyway Gold I'm gonna grab my timer Put it right there Got my paint markers Before we get started. I want to show you guys so I tested the paint markers The black and white on this drop paper when they came in Right here in this corner. So this is the black And this is on acrylic paint and this is the white They work great. They dry Pretty quickly they drive very smoothly and they seem to be waterproof Like any paint pen should be so yay. I love that Papers almost time to turn the paper. Okay, so we're gonna get started here and I've got my paint pen I think I only want to use paint pens, but of course this is free play So you can sit back and you can look at your canvas and decide if there's something missing or not that you want to Fix on it or not in the 15-minute time allotment I am gonna get one more thing because as part of my 15 minutes. I want to paint the edges black So I'm gonna get out some black paint As you know, I find every color except black or that's not it. There it is carbon black So I do want to paint it black. So I've got some black here You know be as prepared as we can be because we don't you know your time is limited, right? So you don't want to have to be digging for stuff. I'm gonna have a small sponge brush To do the edges with have my paint here ready to go Okay, set our timer Alright, are we ready? So before I hit the timer. I want to make sure the pens I want to use are prepped Colors so this must be the yeah that that one's ready And by prepped. I mean, you know because they're paint pens So you have to bring the paint all the way down to the tip I may want to use the turquoise so When with a paint pen give it a good shake you want to just give it a pump Again some paper you can kind of hold it until the paint comes down out of the barrel of the pen and fills the felt tip See how it's starting to right there So that's the turquoise and then I think I want to do the pink maybe the citron So make sure all of this stuff is prepped and ready to go before you get started That way you don't have to waste any of your 15 minutes doing this and I would definitely Recommend as I do with all of my paint canvases painted canvases do the edges last When you do them have a baby wipe handy Which I'll get down in a minute In case you get any of your edge paint on the front in a place that you don't want it You can just wipe it off because this is all dry Sometimes I leave you know my canvas sit for a couple of days and then I do the edges in this case We won't do that but and we had a word here written on the stem and I might want to put more writing on here So we're gonna Look at that as we get going here. It's green one doesn't want to get started There it comes it's coming Eventually there we go Okay, so now we're ready to go. We've got our pens. We've got our paint. They're all prepped. Let's go. Yeah So I'm gonna hit start and I'm gonna start with the black So I'm going over some of my doodles darkening my lines with the black pen At least the part of the doodle that I want to keep if there's part of it that I don't you know I'm not crazy about I can just leave it the way it is I'm gonna rewrite my word here See now I wrote that I'm not sure I like it at least not all of it so grabbing the baby wipes Remember what I said about this being dry so in a paint pens not dry and it is Acrylic, but it takes a few minutes to dry So you can just wipe it off You just want to make sure your background is dry. I do like the bleep so we're gonna leave that Outlining all your shapes is just gonna it's gonna make everything pop now Of course, I'm gonna have some a little bit of trouble On the parts where there's lots of texture That's okay I'm gonna turn this around so I can get the other end without sticking my hand in something. It's totally something I would do Switch to white Still trying not to stick my arm in anything. I'm just you know, don't worry about Anything except just having fun and and just creating some doodles I'm trying to make sure that whatever I do on here. I do it in at least groups of three Or groups of five Instead of just one of something on even group numbers of things are more interesting and Right now. I'm just doodling now I'm doing it in white because there's enough black dark black on here enough dark black lines But I want to add some more interest to the piece and I'm gonna do three groups of three of these little arrow shapes Each group has three in it, but I'm gonna do three of them Hopefully going different directions. I'm gonna keep turning my canvas To ensure a 10-minute warning to ensure that I'm going different directions And I'm not really I'm just going by instinct X marks and just keep doing that and turning your canvas around and I kind of kind of forces you to Be a little bit more random than you may be normally would with your marks That's six and you put one more. I like that so far. Let's put some pink nine minutes Just keep doodling keep making marks follow your instincts Try not to think about it. Try not to glance the clock too much If you can help it use your colors your light bright colors And your white to brighten the painting up so it doesn't look too dark Try not to stick your hand in anything which is easier said than done at least for me I want to put some blue on here somewhere The question is what mark do I want to put? Holy cow, and I just said not to think too much about it. Didn't I how about some we have a lot of circles going on five-minute warning Now I'm gonna take we have five minutes. I'm going to take my sponge brush and my black paint and I'm going to paint the edge Doesn't that cover so nicely some paints that I've done this with you have to do two coats or more To get the same kind of coverage with this traditions paint it really the black at least Along with most of the other colors has a really nice coverage. This really Frames your painting very nicely doing this Leave yourself at least the last five minutes So that you don't have to rush Although technically, this is probably you probably could consider this not part of the Five steps and just do this last and do everything else first and just let it dry and then Just do this in part of your free time You know after you do all the five steps I'm gonna include it, but you don't probably have to And it looks like I'm gonna do this and I'm gonna have some time left Not necessarily a bad thing and even though you don't really see that on the front it just Makes it look so nice and finished Let's keep going here and let's do some more doodles Let's see If I can think of any I don't know I think it looks pretty done and I have three minutes left Holy cow Let's do this. No, I kind of like the way it's looking. I'm wondering if I do this How does that look? Oh, I kind of like that I'll now see what I did. I've only got two minutes left See I like that Holy cow. Yep. That's really nice. I think I just want to do it to the flower too I don't think I want to do it to the rest of it. There we go Well, I like it. I Hope you guys like it Can you even see the whole thing? Let's see now. It's all wet. There we go That's sideways of you, but that's the only way I can get it in the camera. So there's our fabulous canvas all said and done I love the way it looks. I love this kind of primitive abstract freeform kind of style It's one of my favorite ways to paint.
