. I just want to put a smile on your face and paint something.

beautiful

with you, so I'm starting with a handmade art stone using molds from Happy Dotting Company on Etsy. I'll leave a link in the description to find out where you can get yours. It is very low in stock, so if you have any problems placing an order with it recently. It's been a little difficult right now, so please be patient.

The wait is worth it. I'm using a ruler. You've seen me do the part of the dial where I did the. I used a compass and made two circles, luckily these stone molds come with centered points so you can work with that center point and make great circles, so what I'm doing is using a ruler that is broken and I made a straight line. the middle over the center point and then I made four lines coming out just to figure out where I want my wings to be. Now I know there's a chance to slow down the video because I speed mine up a lot so it doesn't take hours once I've added them all together, here's a little secret.

I found these online on Amazon. They are eyeliner brushes, disposable eyeliner brushes and they are amazing. Horrified eyeliner. The only thing I have a problem with is that they are short. I need it to be a little longer but they work so if you're having trouble finding a fine liner brush split it in half but remove half of the hairs and then you have your fine liner brush so if you've seen my brush fine eyeliner. tutorial, do the same thing with these brushes and you will see that it has a very fine line, so I will leave the link in the description of where I ordered them on Amazon.

I'm in Canada so I use Canadian Amazon. I have to look elsewhere for them, but I definitely google disposable eyeliner brushes because they are useful. I think it came like a couple hundred super cheap and I've used mine a few times. You have to be careful that some of the hairs come out, so be careful. Be careful with that when you're painting, but other than that, I've used it for a couple of days and it's working well, so yeah, if you're struggling with fine lines, also fine liner, make sure the paint has consistency. It has a nice consistency, is able to move fluidly and is not clumpy or grumpy, that's what I call clumpy and grumpy, so I always outline everything in gold.

I'm going to clean it up and make the gold lines a little thinner right now instead of taking a pencil for all of this like I did with the Dragonfly just to show you an easier way to draw your Dragonfly, which is why I used a pencil for that, but other than that I'm just going to continue with the golding and I'm doing a couple of flowers you can only see parts of the flowers and you can see one whole flower but you can only see part of the others I'm going to outline my frame which is the same thing I do In all my others you've seen them before, guys, I'm sorry if I bore you with it, it's my favorite thing when I have a very round stone.

I like to frame my dial painting with a nice little colorful frame and with gold of course, so someone recently asked why you always outline with gold and the only reasonable answer I have is from the bottom of my heart and that is that I love gold, it's my favorite, it's my favorite flavor, so now I'm cleaning it. I'm going straight to getting rid of all the pencil lines. I'm losing weight. I'm using a different brush right now to make the wings black right away. I'm doing it quickly. but I'm going to take out my fine highlighting brush to leave the little areas in little nooks and crannies and this is the cleaning part, it takes a while but it's just to get everything ready for color, that's why I do this, so if I He Been on my channel for a while.

Thank you if you are new, welcome and thank you all. I love you all and I just want to enlighten you and give you something fun to watch on YouTube for 25 minutes and entertain. You, yes, have seen my dragonflies before, this won't be that different from any other

dragonfly

stones you've seen me make, very simple. I love dragonflies, they are pretty and I love the glitter, gold, sparkles, etc. we're going to do all that and add color and resin oh it's going to be amazing I promise so actually some people told me you know what I can do to help this world right now what can I do to help you guys even helping myself to be honest, painting, laughing with you, laughing, entertaining, I've been getting my guitar out more, painting my nails more.

I don't have time to paint as much as I used to, so this moment here with You are very, very special to me, so I will entertain you for 25 minutes and 16 seconds and we will go from there even if you don't like this dragonfly at all or the elections color I've made mm- Hmm, don't judge me on my color choices, so one nice thing about these is that while you put them in the water you can put your little plastic cap back on them. They all come with a little plastic cap and you can put it in your paint. glass and it won't bend or ruin your bristles, it'll still be nice and straight, so that's what I do when I step away for a while and leave my little fine liner brush in the water for a while. put the little lid on it so it doesn't bend and then you're ready to see all these little tips and tricks that I'm showing you, so now I'm using dragonfly polish, it's like a rainbow colored holographic effect. and it's the Dragonflight folk art polish number four four three eight zero and the trick to this is not to do a thick layer, really spread it so you don't leave thick gobs anywhere because if you do, it's very noticeable once you seal it. but basically you know a little bit is enough, try to spread it out as much as you can.

If you're doing a large area you can use a sponge and that will give you a nice even layer of shine but if you're doing what I'm doing which is probably the hard route where I painted all my stuff there first and then I decided I wanted my background to be bright. You could definitely make it shiny first and then start with the dragonfly step, you know? What I mean is to do it the opposite way to how I did it, it may be easier for you, but if you are doing small areas with glitter and probably many different types of sand paint, just spread it thin and if you need to apply a second coat once it's dry you'll be able to see where it is there's not enough shine you know what I mean so yeah I'm very careful with this because otherwise it gets tarnished and I'm even looking. in areas and it's not attractive the best I can do is do a very very thin layer like this layer is so thin that it's almost dry already and I'm not even done so you can say it's almost dry but that's because I'm being very scarce is that word.

I'm short on that, so yeah, let's do this. I know there is a lot of shine. There will be even more glitter and sparkle than your eyes can probably handle right now, but hey, it's like a mini of Rachel's Rock. holiday, so I chose a teal for my outer ring. I'm probably going to apply two coats of that so you can't see through it. The folk art teal is pretty good with its consistency and covers well so you can choose whatever colors you want for all of this, by no means do you have to choose the same colors that I'm using but I like these colors so you probably see them often on many of my stones, so yes I have been to my shop recently thank you, thank you for stopping by, if you purchased, thank you and my family, and I thank you, and if you have donated to me through PayPal , I like it a lot, I mean, my phone broke too.

Since my laptop had a giant crack on the screen and my son was trying to use it for his 10th grade education at home, yes, I've had bad luck with technology lately and I really wanted this tutorial yesterday, but because Because I have new devices, I don't even know how to use them because everything is different, so yeah, I had to retrain myself on new devices, how to edit and record and all the fun things I do behind the scenes of presenting this video to you, so Yes, I'm sorry you've been waiting so long, life has been unpredictable, let's just say that, but we're all going to be okay, I'm okay, I'm painting for you now.

We are all here together and I am still smiling and I hope you too I love you all and I only love you who have helped me through PayPal. It's taking me a while to know that they have helped me or to respond. I would like to send you a message thanking you personally, so I only want those of you who have donated to me and my creative channel. They are helping me move forward. They are helping my family even if it is. It's just to put some food on the table once in a while, you really don't know what people are going through so I just want to thank you, even though I don't know what you're going through, you still came to help me. so I can't find the right words to tell you how much it means to me that so many of you support me the way you do by just watching my videos or liking me or sharing my videos on Facebook or here.

YouTube really means a lot to me and I never get the chance to tell everyone how much I appreciate it. I still can't read the messages. There are many of you who have sent messages and see them there. waiting to be read and I feel so bad that I didn't have time, so I want you to know that on those rainy days where things aren't going so well, I open those messages and I read them and I hope I can read them. I'll be able to get back to you very soon, but I just wanted to personally thank you all as I outline my favorite paint flavor. um no don't eat the paint and it doesn't taste good it's just my favorite so yeah.

I just want to tell you guys, you mean everything to me, you keep me alive, you are my light on the dark and rainy days, so there is no way to express how much that means to me, you have no idea, you have no idea, so thank you. You and I will continue to post this as often as I can. I lost some tutorials recently when everything went down on all my tech, so I'm going to redo some things and hope to get them back very soon. Sorry it's so blurry, it will clear up in a moment for you.

Let me clean my glasses here, we're all wearing my glasses and they'll be cleaned in a moment and it'll be less blurry, so all I did. I was cleaning everything, I made sure everything was outlined correctly in gold in case I made it too thin and now I'm choosing colors for my flowers so I'll start with a saffron yellow, here we go, I cleaned my glasses, not too bad, yes, saffron. yellow and I'm just doing it around the center so you know in the three areas where the flowers are. I'm just pretending I know where the center is on those other two and adding a little bit now.

I'm going to use pumpkin orange, you know, I'm going to list all the paint colors in the description. I promise you yeah, it looks good, saffron yellow, pumpkin orange and then I'll add a little bit of magenta, so it may not be what you like in four colors. options the best part about this is that you can make once you have outlined everything the way you want you can even make any flower shape you want you can make daisies you can make forget-me-nots you can make I don't even know how mmm I don't even I can think of another flower, how about peonies?

I don't know how to draw peonies so it could be anything you decide you make up your own flower because I made it these are made up flowers so you make it whatever you want and then you decide what color you want so I decided I'm going to use yellow, orange and dark pink. You could do blue and purple. You could do white and yellow. You could do a purple ring instead of a teal ring. You don't even have to make a shiny background, you can just make shiny wings, which I'm still going to do. I'll just use a different size of glitter and a different color of glitter because I can't get enough glitter.

I know there are people who feel me right now I know, I know there are people who love it as much as I do, so I don't make points that fast in real life, possibly if I drank more coffee I could, but no, this is a lot of speed. so you know I'm going super fast so you can see everything don't worry about the size of the dots don't worry about everything being perfect everything looks fantastic I promise you'll see it in the end when someone looks at this they're not going to say why your yellow dots are bigger than your pink dots why one wing is bigger than the other like you no one is going to say that they're just going to think it's beautiful when you We're done so don't worry no stress out, nothing is perfect, nothing is perfect and still beautiful, so if you clicked on the thumbnail because you saw it and thought, hey, that's a good thing, well there you go, nothing is perfect about this and it's still it's kind of nice, my favorite part about these artworks is everything I think a lot of people immediately think oh I'm not an artist, we're all artists, we all are in our own way, we're all artists, maybe. be theway you fold towels, there may be an art to that, but you've got it, you know what I mean, you've got that talent in you, um, I didn't know I could paint and I didn't know how much I loved dots.

I didn't know how much I loved the gold glitter, honestly, I didn't know about it, but every painting I've painted has quite a bit of gold in it and if it doesn't it's like they got me the gold. I'm starting a new Rock right now. golden, more golden than normal, it's true, man. I need my golden solution in each one. I try to hide it in there, so yeah, I'm doing the same thing I do with most of my leaves, which is making a variation of different shades of green. I did light green on the inside around the leaf vein and then I'm doing a bright green that's a little darker around the rest.

That's just two shades of green. I have my magenta, my orange and my saffron in total. three flowers, sorry, I'm still living, my ring light is annoying because I have like a little sheet of plastic down there so I don't get paint on my desk, I try to keep it as clean as possible, but that ring light is really bright there. and it's a little annoying so I'm sorry but yeah it's all done with a toothpick when I fill it in the small areas because it's a lot easier but other than that just use whatever you're most comfortable with.

I use nail dotting tools. I'm just looking for dotting tools and I'm sure they'll come up as a package in a couple different sizes and yes, I use them all the time. I take them off, I have a towel on my lap that is covered. in paint it's my paint towel and I literally wipe the paint off the tips and put them in a drawer when I'm done. I never soak them, I never soak them like acetone or anything like that. so because the tips come off immediately the plastic corrodes so you literally just wash them with soap and water it works and if the tips fall off because they are used as many times as mine I literally just glue them back on using Krazy.

Very easy glue now I'm using color change which I normally don't use is folk art color change and it's blue flash. I promise this will all be in the description and I just made some bigger dots on the Dragonfly's body to make it easier for me and you, but they are super cute, it changes from a purple to a super cute blue and I have to let those large drops dry for a while before sealing it, but now I'm going. to choose haha ​​hologram you guys know if you've been on my channel for a while this is also one of my favorites it has a larger sized glitter than the background we just did with the Dragonfly polish so it looks weird.

It's like you're like Rachel, what are you doing? There's too much shine here. I'm telling you, there still isn't enough. I'm still going to add, so don't panic, get ready. There's my new saying. Where is my? t-shirts I need to make some t-shirts so you can see it's a little different. The 796 hologram on the wings looks different than the background, so now I'm doing the part of the dial that I don't like. notches up down left right and then I continue in the middle in the center in the center Center center yes Center, that's right, you have it and then I continue until I have enough notches and I'm happy sometimes I get too nachi, that's usually when Although I'm hungry yes I'm here all week guys if I haven't made you smile like once even if it's to make fun of my laughs please tell me or even if you don't like it. everyone who hasn't laughed once, press that thumbs down because that helps my algorithm too, believe it or not, so I'm making a second layer of the beautiful hologram two seven nine six and making sure to do the same, not too much thick.

Don't leave any big stains anywhere because they might be noticeable once we seal it. The gloss can be tricky, but it's worth it if you know it for the long haul, so it will look different, although once you seal it, it will change quite a bit. so I'm going to add even more, check this out. I have rezoned it. I let it sit for about eight hours and just glued a stone in there that is also teal. These are flat crystals. Oh, the anticipation, here's my desk. I don't want to get dirty guys, see why I put the plastic there.

This is what my desk looks like right now, but in a year or two you'll see. I'm really making you wait for this once because I slowed it down so you guys like to appreciate the brightness once I bring it into the image. There is a method to my madness. I told you this before, so here you can see that the glitter on the wings goes really well with the teal ring and the teal crystal. all those colors together and then of course the flowers, aren't they so beautiful guys? Come on, hit the thumbs up, hit subscribe, but be a part of my rock solid family.

I love you guys thank you so much for being the best group of people in my entire world I don't know what I would do without you thanks for staying by my side even though it's been quiet and I haven't been able to keep posting as much as I want to keep painting guys I'll be back coming soon. soon
