  • Apricots on Mars
    Hello Friends! The Peaches in my garden are all ripe right now, I have been enjoying the delicious juicy fruit, but also have really been appreciating the subtle beauty of the colors on the Peaches. The lovely soft tones of Peach, yellow, deep red and a fuzzy white were the inspiration for this pour. I was excited to find Arteza Light Apricot in my colors and had a lot of fun choosing what colors to pair with it.
    Colors:
    Arteza Light Apricot
    Liquitex Basics Red Oxide
    Chroma Molten Metals Xanadu Gold
    Golden's Van Dyke Brown
    DecoArt Rich Espresso (flow extender)
    Leftover Paint Mystery Color (Blickrylic Mars Black, Arteza Bordeaux Red, DecoArt Soft Gold)
    Pouring Medium
    Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish
    a bit of water
    Floetrol
    3 Ring Pours. Layered Cup
    24x36 gallery wrapped level 3 canvas
    I show the dried painting at the end of the video, it dried beautifully!
    I hope you enjoy watching my process and hanging out with me.. If you do, please like and subscribe to my channel.

    This is a really expressive painting, you really do have a knack for choosing colours. The way I was looking at it made me think of a rocky landscape with a road curving through it. It truly is amazing what fruit can do 🍑

      Thank you Deborah 🥰 I had laid off the peaches after eating so many but went and had one this morning again lol it was almost a spiritual experience with all the juice and flood of flavor..☺️ I've never tasted peaches like this before, we just moved to this country-ish area a few months ago. Its sooo different from the concrete city we were in before, I'm just loving it!
      I've watched the video a bunch of times now and find myself wishing I hadn't tilted the last corner, which changed the shape of everything. But then I go inside and look at the painting and there is so much to see in it now. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video 🥰 much love

    Another beauty! I love how you explain your reasoning regarding the weight of the paint and show how to avoid pouring the pretty parts off the canvas. I also think it’s great how you further emphasize the use of paint outside the rings, so they roll over but not off the piece.

      Thank you Susan! No I dont use silicone.. you dont need it with a straight pour. I tend to get cells no matter what, the Liquitex pouring medium and the Floetrol do that. Also, I don't want to have to clean off silicone if I want to resin or varnish.

    @monicacamilli8181 Před 5 lety

    Totally Loved this video for several reasons. First of f all it’s my fav color pallet!!! I could wear it daily in diff variations. Secondly,The red oxide became a soft enough ‘orange’ that it played well with purple!! Ahhh, fave. Sometimes in my palate I feel the need to add a tad of a screaming green. But this didn’t need any distractions. The colors came together beautiful, creating either an agate or Petrified Wood. And most importantly, your narrative ... of your thought process...where you were going or why you changed your mind made it easy to follow... I knew I had the right answers! Mina, I adore, love and envy your work! If I can get close ...ahhh!!! to dream. Need the space first. Are you in Cali? Where else could one do this outside? Thank you So much for sharing!

      Hi Norma! It's very windy here, so theres not a lot of dust sitting around.. I put wet paintings in my Tuffshed to dry, I get moths landing in them not dust Haha. There are mesh domes that you can get to cover your wet paintings, or you could put them inside a big box with some air holes to prevent things from landing in it. I hope this helps.. good luck!

    • @MinaVillegasArt
      @MinaVillegasArt  Před 5 lety +1

      Judy I first started using little fold up plastic tables and covering them with trash bags. We recently moved to this house and had brought my old kitchen table with us, but didn't have a space for it inside. I wanted to use it as a place to eat outside but there is very little shade here outdoors, so that didn't really work and the wood was showing signs of being outside in the morning fog. The two small folding tables were not the same height, finally my husband suggested bringing the old kitchen table down to my Tuffshed/studio, saying at least it would be level. I got it from Ashley Furniture about 6 years ago, it's a big square Kitchen table and it's a taller height, which is great for me so I dont have to bend over quite so much. I have it covered with 3 layers of thick black plastic garbage bags. I dont think it's going to last forever, but it's much better than the cheapy folding tables I had been using before! It's funny, if I take the plastic off you can see where my kids were doing homework and pushing hard with pencils into the wood (that used to drive me crazy haha), but its sweet memories of helping them with homework when they were very small for me now. The kitchen table is always the heart of the family, isn't it? I love that its helping me paint now ❤ Thanks for asking, I love questions like this ❤ I hope you have an amazing day!

  • @possumbold
    @possumbold Před 5 lety +1

    That would have been a very difficult pour under the best of conditions. You pulled it off despite the heat, the wind, the size of it, and because you did it outside - not under cover but out in the open! You made it look easy but I know it isn’t. So many factors are involved before the paint even hits the canvas: the colour combinations (you were right not to include the espresso in the pour part of it, though it is a lovely colour); the paint consistency; the varying thicknesses of different brands (and within brands); the amount needed to cover the canvas with the ring pour; problem solving; as you say, the level of your work surface; tilting with only one pair of hands; the paint potentially starting to dry or skim because of the heat; the cost of it with good quality paint and I dare say the timeframe - I’m guessing you didn’t wait for a cleaner day because you had your camera person there and were set to go - wind or no wind.
    It was an almighty effort to produce this painting- let alone a beautiful one. Congratulations!

      Thank you Rael 🥰 I love painting outside with the wind and birdsong, it's very relaxing lol (the sun I try to limit by shooting just before sundown but it does make me squint lol) I enjoy the challenges.. I did one big pour, Medallions, inside the house with no wind and no sun, I didn't enjoy doing it nearly as much. It felt like an operating room! You can get used to anything I guess 😂 The Wind and I have made friends, lol I promised to let her paint a big canvas very soon 🥰 thanks for watching Rael ❤

    Mina, I don’t know how I missed the peaches painting but girl this os by far one of my favorites it is beautiful ? Question when you pouring outside with sun do you run them inside or leave outside just wondering if sun cracks the paint? Yes I seen you spray back of this painting ? But the other oneI was talking to you about ? She said front is s definitely a big part from small to large most important and another artist 100% agreeed with her she also does the backs to , but you have to let them dry for about hour then your paints will not weigh doen canvases and also if it’s large ones like you use , have something under the bottom to support all the weight from paint leave it til dry , Mina you paintings is gorgeous ! I just want to help you from losing some of the most important beauty of your art ?? Plzz try it because like I said gorgeous, beautiful, dimensions, and depths may will stay on canvas and not leave !?? Plzzz just try it because Ig it hurts me to see some of the beauty rolling off I know it does you too Love your art, love the fun in you and all you beautiful art energy! Love lisa

      You're such a sweetheart Lisa! I hadn't heard of spraying the front of the canvas before, that's an interesting thought, I will look into it!

    Thank you - gorgeous. Can i ask a question? In the UK, Floetrol is just as expensive as liquitex gloss medium & varnish. if i buy liquitex gloss medium & varnish, can I use it pure, or can i dilute with something else? thank you

    • @MinaVillegasArt
      @MinaVillegasArt  Před 5 lety

      That's a great question! You can use it pure.. I find it a bit thick, you can add water a little at a time until it is pouring consistency. I prefer to add Floetrol because it doubles the amount of paint I have, but you can absolutely pour with out Floetrol.

      I love All your art. Your laughter is so infectious. Even when you make mistakes you laugh at them. I am just starting out and I watch all your videos. Hopefully one day I can be one half as good as you. I unfortunately have cancer. It started in the breast and now it took my kidney and liver. Keep up the great work. The world needs to see positivivity and hear laughter like yours.😘😷

    Hi beautiful painting. It's got aa very outdoorsy look.. u crack me up!! U r fun to watch.. thanku. Do you gesso any of your canvases? I was told I should cuz I buy the cheaper ones at Michaels. Usually artist loft that 10pk for 14 dollars. Size 8x10. I'm new at this lol I've asked many amazing artist about the base coat. What r your suggestions on that? Pls & thanku.

    • @MinaVillegasArt
      @MinaVillegasArt  Před 5 lety

      Hi Karen! Thank you so much!
      I dont use gesso, but I do use a basecoat of paint if I'm using a wooden panel that has not been gesso'd. The bulk pack of canvasses is great, especially when you are just starting out. The best advice I can give you about a basecoat is to make it slightly thinner consistency than the paints you will pour onto the canvas. If it's too thick your poured paint won't slide, it will get stuck.

      @@MinaVillegasArt your welcome. Thanku very much. I'll try using the canvas without the gesso. Maybe that's part of the problem lol I appreciate your advise. I have thinned the paint. I'm issues getting even on the canvas. Its obviously the way I'm doing it or not doing it. Lol I'm limited to space too. I'll keep trying. Thanku very much!!!
