A Run For My Money - 2ft x 2ft fluid art / Acrylic Pouring / Dutch Pour / Florida Artist

Hi guys, I'm Molly. I'm going to do a hair dryer technique like a Dutch

pour

on a 24 by 24 inch canvas, so two feet by two feet I'm using a white base and I'm using colors that I don't normally use. I'm very excited about this. I mixed a mineral blue and a Payne gray together. I'm using, of course, gold. I'm using a deep yellow. I'm using I'll have to look at the name and I'll tell you. when I put you on the canvas, but it's like a magenta color and I'm using deep green, so it's almost Arteta, all of these are teza except mineral blue, but it looks almost like a viridian, you see. when I go down on the canvas, so I don't know how the yellows will fit in with everything, but I thought I'd go ahead and try it, so I'll take you to camp and see you in a second.

Alright, I have my two foot by two foot canvas here and this is my house paint mix that I made with

acrylic

paint and floetrol house paint, gac800 and a little bit of gloss medium and you can see my consistency here is Pretty thin, it goes right back into the container, it doesn't make an indent, but it just goes right back in, so I'm going to put this on the canvas and come right back. I did too much white paint. so that just means I'm going to have to

pour

again - what a shame, how sad, okay, I'm just finishing up, so I put the white base on now and I'll show you that I've sprayed white paint everywhere.

I'll show you consistency. here again it's very very thin, you see how watery it is and it runs back into the cup, no mound, try to figure it out, maybe I'll start with the green one. I usually always start with the blue next to I don't know. Okay, I might have too much water on my whites because it's starting to eat up the color, so that always worries me a little bit, but we'll see, I'll show you how it dries and let you know. Okay, maybe I have some gold on it now. oh man I hope that doesn't ruin things God what color will I do next?

I guess I'll do the pink, pink and green together. They scare me. Okay, now just a little bit of yellow. I had to say a little to myself, Molly. a little bit really means a little bit, okay, now I'm going to pour this giant pitcher of white. I made too much weight, oh, I think it's too much, maybe too thin. Ugh, my God, what a mess I'm making! Alright, now turn this off, let me get my torch, there are some big air bubbles here, yeah, no, I think I put too much white, I mean, too much water on my white, but we'll see, we'll see what happens, oh.

I'm definitely having that cellular reaction I get when I use healthy paint. Wow, all these colors are so pretty. I really hope the white one doesn't swallow them up because it's really pretty. I say it is. Seriously, I say it's very pretty and then I completely destroy it with my high speed. Okay guys, I make myself laugh. I'm just doing this on low because I don't want this to mess me up too much. You know, my God. so when I'm in love with this paint, I'll be so devastated if it doesn't turn out that I'll have to blow out some parts because I can see the color is under the paint. white  I can say I have too much white here.

I don't know what I'm going to do about it yet, so let me think for a second, let me blow these parts out and then if you can see that the color is underneath, that white is going to swallow it up again, so I'm going to have to blow some this, I think, and I hate having to do that, but just when I poured that white like that, I poured There's too much on the canvas, you can see every time I blow, the colors come out, but the white just swallows it up again, the semi-gloss will do that , so I add house paint, but again I just have to I'll have to see what's going on here Maybe I still have to blow somewhere on this paint.

I'd rather blow on it and mess up the design a little now so you know they crack every time I blow. every time I mix the semi-gloss house paint with the

acrylic

paint and my mixture is created every time I blow, it creates all these beautiful cells, but I'll show you, you can bear with me. I'll show you what I do. I'm talking and it's really good that you guys can see the troubleshooting when this happens, maybe I'll call you now and I'll tell you and show you what I'm talking about as far as colors. being swallowed, so wait a second, I'm really in love with this piece, okay, so look, right there, like this, oh my god, don't drop this guy, right there, like this, this is what it looks like, so those They are my cells. that I get when I do that mix of semi-gloss house paint and acrylic paint, oh look at that, but look at all this stuff down here, you can see there's color under there and I need to get it out, so that's what I'm blowing on.

That's what I'm going to work on now, so hold on, okay guys, I'm still fiddling with it, so give me a second because I think I could put a little more white in here. I had white here, but I had to blow. some of that white came off, so I'll keep playing around for a second. I always fit everything together and then I'll show it to you guys after I wanted you to see the process as it happens, let's see there was a lot of white paint in there that can crack. If you don't remove it, but once I blow it out, all those beautiful cells appear underneath, that's basically done, but look at this here, look at all that paint that's falling off right there, it had to come off.

I like the earlier design better. but that had to come out, so now I can explode here, okay, now it's just this part here, okay, I've gotten to most of the parts, this part here still wanted to be white and That part over there still wants let it be white. Look at it from your angle. Sometimes it's nice to walk around it and see what's going on, so yeah, let me grab a paper towel. I don't know, guys, I'm kind of like that. I'm afraid to do anything else with it because I really like it the way it is, but I think I wanted this little part here to be white.

I just wanted a little more negative space in there and I really think let me try it. Do this and don't get knocked down. I really think this part here should be white. This right here let me add the white back to those sections and then I'll see how I feel about it. You don't need much so I'm just going to spray it like this and then you can work on it with your spatula and then I'll blow it on a little bit so you can at least keep watching me fix a problem, making sure I'm still filming, well that's not what I What happens half the time is that I forget that I didn't turn it back on and then I just talk to myself and my neighbors probably think I'm totally crazy because I'm in my garage talking to myself like every day, today I'm talking to you , guys, okay, and then I'll blow you up so you look like part of this again, you won't have to stand there for all that time you offer to clean your spatula a little bit. the same color everywhere orange is fine, so I think this is pretty good.

I'm going to turn this off. Give me a second. Well, you guys actually blew a lot more, but I didn't want to, so that's the only part I didn't. What worries me right now is this autofocus. I want to remove it from everything. I could just manipulate and see that that part is already kind of bleeding again, so that's good, so that's the general look of the piece. Guys, I have to fix that. You drive me crazy wait, okay, I fixed it for sure this time, let me remove the camera mount and this is what it looks like.

I really like it. The green and blue combined very well. Not yellow. Although there is no silicone in this, I really hope that the cells dry out this way and I'm not going to, oh my God, look at that and I won't show this until I can be sure that the cells dry out. this way, but if you stayed with me that long, thank you very much and this is how I fix the painting. The video would have actually been like 25 minutes if I had because I made a lot of points from that spot. I got rid of that stain, that stain there.

I had to fix the center over here on this part here, but you know what to fix the paint, if you're not happy with it, find out why and fix it, it's paint, it belongs to you. okay, that was my soapbox, thanks everyone for watching, let me know what you think in the comments, yeah, but I faint, sure, everyone, this is dry, it's a little wet, right there in the center still, but The outer parts are dry and it dried perfectly. I am very happy with this. I'm trying to get you guys involved in every little part because there's a lot going on.

I love these colors. I can't believe I haven't worked more with green and magenta. I'm serious, look. Those, there's no silicone in any of this, look at the cord and it's dry, oh my gosh, I don't think you could let me turn off the light in there. I couldn't be more excited about this, I hope you like it. I'm in love with him. Maybe I have to go to my own house. Don't know. Or if I sell it, I might have to make another one. This is. I'm in love. Okay, guys, thanks, so look at those, look at those.

The cells are amazing, okay, sorry, I got so excited. Thank you all for watching Happy Painting! bye bye!
