I wanted to do a series using metallic colors using different techniques to showcase how different pieces can look using a similar palette. Today is a great piece and I can't wait for you to see it.

It helps me reach more people across YouTube who might also like my process and the creation tutorials I share. ****************************************************************************************** Today's Tutorial Information: ▶ Technique: Swipe ▶ Canvas size: 12x12 inches ▶ Pouring Medium formula: My paints are mixed with a Pouring Medium for all techniques unless otherwise stated in the video. The ratio I use is 1:3:1 Paint/Medium/Water. I use Floetrol/Owatrol for my medium. For those creations that I use water only (again I will say so in the video so please watch the full video for more details) Water only creations use the ratio of 1:1 paint to water. ▶ Color Palette: Amsterdam: Lamp Black, Brilliant Blue Pebeo: Copper, Silver, Gold Cell activator for swipe is 1:4 ratio (Lamp Black:Australian Floetrol) Time stamps: There are hints, tips and knowledge sharing throughout the video! So stay tuned throughout to get full advantage of the process and information. 00:01 - Welcome and Concept 01:00 - The Colors and Canvas 01:33 - Preparing the base 01:48 - Layering the colors for swipe 03:00 - Swipe time to create lacing 04:50 - Close up of lacing 05:08 - Stretch out the design 07:36 - Close Ups ▶ ▶ ▶ Ways you can support me ▶ ▶ ▶▶ ▶ ▶▶ ▶ ▶▶ ▶ ▶▶ ▶ ▶▶ ▶ ▶▶ ▶ ▶▶ ▶ ▶ ** Subscribe to my channel and watch a long with me (it's FREE for you to do); ** Hit the notification bell to be notified of new releases; ** Hit the thumbs up and like the video - it helps me reach more people; ** If you're looking to learn, check out my online, self-paced course here: https://www.smartartcourses.com/art-for-mindfulness ** Join my exclusive members only group here: null ** Join me on Patreon here: www.patreon.com/MarkJRatcliffeArt ** Say Thanks!
