 What's up, everybody? All right, so I have been wanting to do this since I tried to do the alcohol ink On black and white I did half kind of a half black and kind of faded into the white Galaxy kind of like a I just wanted to see if the alcohol inks would would show up on the black paint after you put the Resin over it and it kind of did but it made a really nice fade from from the white to the black and give it kind of a nice little Dimension so I thought why not try to do like a black hole like Space galaxy coming out. So that's pretty much what I'm going to try to do today with alcohol inks and Let's try this here. We have an 18 inch round MDF board That my man Ray over at Via are made for us It's a MDF cradle board two pieces He has routed a little Wedge little thing Inside here you can kind of see To where you can hang it any way you would like so and then that way you know that it's not going to slip off the Back of this anywhere if you want you can put a d-ring on there, whatever you like that We did this so that you can hang it any way you like it and how I prepped it was I took some Krylon spray gesso Give it a good whitening Let it dry hit it with some 400 sandpaper Because it does leave a little texture just a little And if you're using alcohol inks you want it to be nice and smooth. You don't want any dips or little ridges or bumps And then I just took some Rust-Oleum painters touch flat black and just did a little Black hole in the middle And make sure if you do this if you're if you want to leave a fade You want to take pretty much any kind of spray paint if you spray it and you you're leaving some white Make sure you take a rag Let it dry 100% make sure you take a rag and wipe off all the excess over spray because if you don't see it It doesn't matter the resin will pick it up And it will make it look muddy. It might turn it some different colors. So make sure you wipe all that off And if you'd like you can hit it with another You know 400 If your paint is thick if it you know Whatever you feel like And that should be nice and smooth because we are definitely using a lot Of alcohol inks today. We're gonna do a rainbow type of fact Should be interesting Let's see this little camera can get all those guys there um, and what we're gonna be using today for The resin is stone coat countertops art coat, which is By far the best resin I have used to this day and we've been doing it a little over a year or so The art coat is made for artists It's made for artists because It's made for first timers. It's made for You know advanced it you have at least an hour and a half of working time depending on if it's hot In your studio if if it's summertime and you know, your your studio is a little hot You want to work at probably around 74 to 76 degrees, I believe And you get about an hour and a half we've used it for two hours before I I'm I'm serious when I say that at least two hours Because it was left in a cup. Normally if you leave resin at a cup it tends to heat up really fast Um, but make sure when you do mix if you mix a lot and you have a lot of colors Get get it out and get it in those little cups get it and you know separate so it's not sitting there Working that working the working time Working the working time that sounds like e-science So and this is a uh a one-to-one mixture you put one ounce to one ounce Mix it up for two and a half three minutes and you're good So what I'm gonna do and put these Little guys aside And get my cups out Oh and the ink I'm using is zig cure color Ink I believe that's right cure color And I'll be using some stone coat that white This white. Sorry we use this and that Black that black this white stone coat countertops. Um, excuse me white base tint and possibly I'm thinking about using some bronze to kind of Shake it up a little bit put a little put some streams in there to make it kind of glitzy with bronze We normally use like a gold Um, I might even use a silver just because spacey who knows We'll see so let's get this party started. I'm going to Mix up probably about I would say Six ounces or so Um And anytime You're working with I'm gonna go back to the inks any time we're working with the ink Normally we would tell you put the pigment put the powder put the paste In the cup then put the Resin in it don't do that with alcohol inks especially in The paper cups because it'll just soak into this paper and It'll be a really pretty cup, but you'll waste your ink. So Just wait to put the ink into the resin after All right, so let's mix up some resin where are my cups at? I thought I was ready One my cups at there they are all right. So like I said, I think I'm gonna mix up six ounces Maybe eight just so I can just so I can Make sure I have enough Then no, no, that's wrong. I'm doing alcohol ink On this what am I what am I talking about? I know I literally thought I was going to be mixing the resin With the alcohol I'm gonna be doing the alcohol ink on here first then just doing a flood coat Wow, all right. I guess my mind is on Vegas. We leave here in two hours So pardon that You don't need to do that All you need is just to get some some alcohol 91 percent alcohol a lot of bean Um And then just you're gonna flood coat it. I don't know what I was thinking man. All right So Now I want I want that look that faded. I'm gonna fade it from Here and it's gonna be all nice and faded so how How I used to do it I used to just put alcohol on it and then put all the colors and And that does not work if you've done it, you know, that doesn't work because it just Gets muddy gets crazy. So B Aka Erica has told me just put some put a bunch of alcohol alcohol down Put one color kind of spread it around let let that give you a kind of a style and then put a little more Color and then put a little more alcohol a little more color a little alcohol and just kind of get it to where you Where you like it? So and the alcohol does nothing to the Spray gesso or the paint So let's just put some alcohol down. We're gonna go In a circle All right, let's start How about we start with something? Let's start with yellow first How about that and I'm just gonna do a couple drops Kind of almost an even Drop of each side Because I have so many different colors And see just blowing it gives it kind of a good even Even Fade See how it goes from dark to light. That's what I'm that's what I'm hoping it'll do all the way around And then you could get your heat gun I like to turn my heat gun up Give it a little Heat and horrible explaining this blend some colors in here Let's just start with a little green just because we know green Goes with yellow you can turn your heat gun down if you like So that it doesn't dry out the alcohol that fast That's totally up to you that way if you like to add some more color You sure can let's do some Here let's do Some teal right in this area where the greens are it almost looks like an eyeball. It looks crazy. So let's do We'll get a little dark into the green into the black And didn't a stand that I can put this on so I don't have to turn it off every time. Let's do So black holy Now I want to do like a daisy like no, I did some flowers. Don't worry. You can harness the power of that that thing They're like I'm loving it be And if you like you can just you could do that let that set so then it sets up you know A nice fade or you can Add a little bit more and get a little you know leave it like that as a hard edge just kind of keep going back and forth so it dries And a gnarly little Hard edge for you there I'm digging the fade I think I'm gonna put a little bit more darker So like how that Goes into the black how it fades off into the black remember you have Four other colors that you have to do so Keep in mind a lot more colors to go All right, I'm gonna put some orange Right in this little area for this little yellow guy Probably here I kind of want to I kind of want to make it to where the colors go good with the color next to it Um complementary colors Normally don't look good blended together. They look good next to each other. So I try to keep it that way but with alcohol ink. That's kind of impossible sometimes Unless you really control it. So I'm just going to give this guy a little working over with the yellow Even though that even if I have to put some yellow in it I will Just to kind of mix that up so that they do blend well together I am a 100 beginner. So Just know This is like my fifth time doing this So if I sound a little crazy and not know what I'm talking about that's why it's just fun to me All right, where's my yellow? I'm gonna put a little more yellow over here so I can Because I'll probably be mixing some pinks over here You see how I can just put that alcohol right next to it Look at that. Just give you a nice blend give you A fun transition Nice and fun This is where it gets kind of spooky when you get into these darker colors So you you want to make sure that you Just add a little Add a little you can always add more you can never take away Pretty much the rules of resin as well So I'm gonna do I think I'm gonna do some reds right here Add to come up over this area. Ooh, that is some bright That's supposed to be crimson Right. I don't think that is red, but that does look good That's like a bright orange. Wow. All right Let's go with it And if you notice that some of this stuff is drying pretty fast and normal Remember you're putting heat on this board and this board does retain heat so You're definitely gonna get A little hot spot so that alcohol will dry up a little faster Oh, that is red. Look at that red dry I thought it was like bright orange when I put it when I put that out there. That's crazy It's so weird when they dry different colors. Yeah, it looked like a really bright orange The pinks like tripped me out when they do that. Where's that alcohol are you using? Uh 91% I need to prep this with gesso I did I talked about it in the beginning of the video. I'll have to go back and watch it Yeah, I literally started this video like I was going to do Resin with alcohol you can It looks so cool when it does that like starbursty thing. Mm-hmm You know, it's so crazy how it dries a completely different color At least we want to like be late for the flight and play it out hard Hmm Did it hit the tip hit the tip I tried to get him down Is that gonna work? It was not about that life All right, so let's do we'll do some purple Is there any color you want that you don't have? The amazing Jen brought us all the colors you want some black This is an amazing blurk You want to like fade out the middle or something you could get me some No, I got some I'm gonna say some alcohol, but I got some No, I've made one out of Colors look really accurate But it doesn't look like a galaxy because it's a little bit spread out Like it's too Galaxy gone floral We love all this table a horrible idea We'll name it how not to do one Like the purple just literally got rid of all the black. Well, you can put some alcohol on a rag Wipe that off. How fun is that? Look at that y'all. That's kind of one of the cooler things about alcoholings is that it's The most forgiving I feel like If you don't like it Wipe it off the galaxy black hole of color Pujo I don't think he likes it. All right, so we're gonna name this how not to do a galaxy black hole But what I'm gonna do I'm gonna go all the way around this I'm gonna fade in areas that Around just the edge I'm gonna shake a shelf a shaker shover Shoe shover? I'm gonna try something I'm gonna try to Draw all on this with some alcohol Jen give me these Okay, that's way too tiny I'm just gonna try to Like stippling dots Kind of like that milky way dots milky way dots Just makes me want a candy bar Yeah, it doesn't really work that well Do you have to like Do it and wipe it or do it and wipe it or does it just kind of go away It depends on how pigmented you've got it I'm gonna do some uh bronze in the middle Bronze? Oh, that's why I was like I have to wait to do that with the resin Well, you don't have to wait long You gotta like really clean it off, huh? It's not gonna work Hmm music's too Too fading. All right So I have my black hole So now I'm just going to Put a little layer of resin over it But I'm gonna put some white in there too just some strands of kind of Gonna try to make some Milky way lines whatever those are called Some galaxy Fun galactic ribbons There you go galactic ribbons So let's back this little guy up here and do some room. All right now it's time to mix some resin We're gonna do a flood coat over this and add a little bit of white I might use some of that bronze just to make some Who knows? Who knows This was supposed to be a short video Power video What do you think six ounces? I wouldn't do any more than six You're not really missing any color The other day I was going to try to make some um, you know, our like metallic spritzes I was going to see if it'll work with 007 But I think doing a spritz will take over And completely cover it So you guys just seen me kind of Go from one idea to A another idea But that's how um alcohol inks work They have a mind of their own as well Um I should have just put color color color color random not try to Place it But I think it looks all right This is the stone coat art coat I'm gonna make sure you mix this up nice Because you do not want dry spots in your resin piece I'm sorry wet spots Wet spots Your spots Yeah And what that means is if if you get a part of resin or a part of hardener that isn't mixed up that place will Stay wet forever until you either scrape it out or put a flood coat over it And pray that that Seals it Yeah, so you want to scrape the sides your stick the bottom You want to make sure all that's Nice and mixed up. All right. What I'm going to do is I'm going to put a little aside And a cup for some There's some white. Let me put just a little bit in there And then maybe some of that bronze. I don't know why I'm seeing that but I'm only going to use a little bit. There's actually less in there So now I'm just going to take this I'm not pouring it over the edges because you don't want to waste any Is it going right towards the center? I just want to cinnamon roll. Get all the excess out A lot of people say you need to seal in your alcohol inks before you resin over it So it doesn't bleed in our case. It don't really matter if it bleeds because it's All over anyways, but you can seal it with tamar varnish You can Or glaze Or triple fake glaze virus Look how it It did a little bit. It does a lot Spoke too soon. Now. I think it'll go. It'll blend back out back in. Yeah Oh, it is. Yeah, it'll it'll blend back in. It's just where you've Let it set for a second is fine All right, make sure you get it all even you can kind of see if there's Thin spots Or dry spots you can oh my god, it looks like an eyeball now It does Eyeball galaxy A really trippy at a party going too hard in the paint eyeball. Yes party eye And whenever you're working with alcohol any kind of alcohol 91 70 50 Never use a fire don't use fire around your alcohol Unless that's on purpose Unless you're in a fireplace with alcohol ink and there's a fire in the fireplace That's why I'm trying not to use the torch because there's way too much alcohol around here
