 Hi and welcome back it's Vicky here with a new art journal project. Today I'm going to play with my new Pebio paints. These paints are really amazing to work with and you will see what I mean later on today. Now I have to say that this is not a sponsored video, I don't do sponsored videos, I just happened to see the products while I was on creativity and loved them. Now I will be using three different paints, the Vitrae, the Prism and the Moon. Now all three of them have different properties and I'm going to explain each and every one of them separately. So the Vitrae is a paint that is made for painting on top of glass which means that this paint is transparent and of course it comes in a huge range of colors but you will see that you can use it for the technique that I'm going for today. This paint is really concentrated. If I open up the bottle it looks as if it is black but this is good because actually you can thin it down and this bottle can take you for a long long time. I am going to show you how to do it later on. And now let's move on to the next two paints. These are from the Pebio fantasy line. There are two actual collections here. The one is called Prism that you can see here and this creates a beautiful honeycomb effect. You don't have to add silicone or any other mixative to create this effect. This is a high-end paint that includes all the good stuff inside so when you use it it's going to create the effect for you without you having to do anything else. And of course it comes in a huge range of colors as well and the second collection of fantasy paints that they have is called Moon. Again it comes in a huge range of colors and this one when you apply it it creates a beautiful hammered effect. Now I will be using all of these paints today and you will see how everything works out. Now normally you can use these paints to do some pouring which is very trendy these days and you can work on a canvas or a hardcore surface like these art panels by Ranger. They work beautifully on top of those. However I want to try today something different and I want to play with them on top of paper. This is watercolor paper and I want to create a page for my art channel. But again you can do what I'm doing today on top of a canvas and here's a fun thing there are canvases by Pebeo these are called art panels and they have this raised frame all around which means that if you pull paint on top of it you're not going to make a mess all over your craft area. So for today I'm going to work on a watercolor page from my 6x6 discbound journal and since I want to use these paints I need to make sure that I cover it up completely with Gesso. So that's what I'm going to do now I'm going to prime my surface with Gesso which means that it's going to turn into a non-porous surface and all those paints that I'm going to apply are not going to just soak inside. Now first of all I want to apply a coat of the Vitae this is turquoise and you can see how concentrated it is and how dark it looks as if it is black. So I'm going to thin it down so that I get a lovely color and at the same time just with one drop I can have lots and lots of color. So this is just a thinner that I'm using and you can make it as concentrated as you want. I don't use a lot just a couple of drops here and I'm using a pipette which makes my life easy and I avoid any mess. Now in my page here I have applied Gesso just like I said before making sure that everything is nice and dry and now I'm going to use the paint that I have prepared and thinned down and apply a very thin coat. Now you will probably see some texture coming out that's just because when I applied Gesso I did that with a spatula because I didn't want to have a completely smooth background. Here I'm using a spatula to help the paint spread out and I avoid using brushes with these paints just because I don't want to have to do a lot of cleaning later on. Remember these are not water soluble paints. This means that they have a little bit of odor but it's already spring in Greece so I have my windows open and I'm good to go. Now I will move on and use two shades of gold one of them is fantasy the other one is moon. You don't have to use both of them you can you are good to go if you want to create a similar look just with one gold. So in the end you will see that you can create the same look just by buying three paints only. A shade of blue some gold and some white which means that it makes it easy for you to try them out and see if you like these techniques. I apply my paint with a popsicle stick so again I'm not using any brushes so I don't have to do any cleaning at all at the end. I am applying now the lighter shade of gold and remember that before you use those fantasy paints you need to give it a good steer because when you store them all the good stuff are quite heavy and they go and sink at the bottom so just give it a good steer but don't shake the bottles before you use the paint because this way you will create bubbles inside the paint bottle that you don't really want to use on your project. I'm moving my page up and down helping those colors to blend together they have already started to react the fantasy paints which are the two gold ones at the bottom and they are creating all kinds of beautiful effects and now I'm going to go and add some white I'm going for an ocean themed today so this is going to end up looking as an abstract ocean and I'm adding the waves now. The paint that I'm using here is moon fantasy moon and the color is pearl again I apply everything with a popsicle stick and I'm also going to add some abstract lines on my sea as well these are not going to look like that those paints react on their own they have a mind of their own they are really difficult to control so don't go for the perfect look just go for an abstract look and you will be really happy with the outcome. This was the first time I used those paints I find them really easy to work with since you are going for an abstract look and I had so much fun working with them I'm definitely going to use them again and you will see more videos of me using those for lots of beautiful backgrounds for my art journal. When you give your page a little bit of an angle you will see that all those paints move and blend together and create beautiful effects however at some point you want to stop that happening but since I'm working on a page it was quite difficult since it is a little bit warped that's not the case when you work on a canvas of course but I had to make it work so here is my work around I'm just using a printer paper underneath and I have applied some double-sided tape and now I'm pressing my work on top of it so you can see now it's nice and flat and of course you can add as many layers as you like on top of it and then you have to leave it on its own to dry now in my case it took about 24 hours to dry so I went back the next morning and it was completely dry but I guess it depends on how much paint you add on top of your project as well as the climate so here we are about an hour later now I have transferred it on a hard cardstock which is nice and clean so that it's not too messy for you guys and you can see exactly what I'm doing and I'm going to add a little bit of glitter in different areas the paint is not dry at all yet which means that this glitter is going to soak into the paint and it's going to stick nicely there I'm using some paint glass glitter and this is by Stampendous I'm going to link all the products that I'm using down below just like always into different shops so you can check the prices and I think that the Pebio paints are on sale at the moment 15 percent off at Jogles but you will find all the links that you need down below and just because I want some touches of white I'm also going to sprinkle this chunky white embossing powder I'm not going to melt it I just want to add it and it's going to stick nicely where the wave is just like I did with the glitter and here is my beautiful background 24 hours later everything is nice and dry and I love that it has a beautiful shine the glitter and the embossing powder is nicely stuck there nothing falls out so I'm just going to finish it off I don't want to cover it up completely to turn it into a journal page for my art journal I want to add just a few touches here and there but I want to keep that background to be the focal point of my page so I'm just going to stick down a little fishing net this anchor that I had in my stash forever enter a cheap quote from Tim Holtz collection for sticking everything down I'm going with a little bit of a new water looks glue I'm also going to use my hot glue gun to secure down the metal anchor just to make sure that this is not going to fall out and since I had my glue gun on my table I used that to stick down the cheap quote as well so all I have to do now is to just use my scissors and cut out all the fishing net that sticks out of the page and here is my finished page that I absolutely love I think that I am going to recreate that into the big canvas that I showed you earlier so now I'm going to use some metal rings and turn this into a new art journal where I can add even more pages as I go now I like to use metal rings just because I like the feel of them I will link the ones that I'm using right now down below and they come in many different colors and sizes but you can also get the plastic rings which are way cheaper and they come in many different colors and sizes as well so that was the project for today don't forget you will find all the links of the products that I used down below in the description area I hope that you had fun today and that you got inspired to give those paints a go and by grabbing just three colors you can create this beautiful background here are some close-up photos thank you all so much for joining me today and I'll see you all next time
