Back in the day (as a creative child of the sixties) I used to lick the coloured lead tips as it used to make the colour more intense, nower days (as an adult who has learnt a bit) I shudder to think of the damage I could have done to my health, and all in the name of 'art'
I LOVE that eraser hack! As someone with severe hand pain from RA, anything that helps take the strain off my hands is a life-saver. I've never seen that mod podge before, definitely Have to have it. Thanks so much!
Heres a good one, if your acrylic paint is thin when you paint it, streaky, transparent, etc; add corn starch and mix on pallet. It turns cheap paint to very pigmented expensive paint.
*Mod Podge clear iridescent sealer dupe: Auto Zone/Car part stores carry a product called Clear Effex by Duplicolor that is just the same, I'm obsessed with it. It's marketed as a top coat spray paint for cars, looks best over a dark base coat and is quite easy to use to get the same effect by layering thin coats. It's a bit pricey, about $17 a can, but is readily available most times and is amazing.
I dip a q tip in vegetable oil and use it to blend different colors on my project that were penciled. Never thought of dipping the pencil. Thank you. Baby oil and coconut oil work too.
Lori, you are bloody brilliant! I had to go back to Amazon three times to get the thing as instead of watching all the way thru, I would stop and order something. lol
Whaaaaa! The electric eraser as coloring tool is brilliant! Every tip was great but I also liked the skip a pearl till dry idea. You are an invaluable resource
You can use your colour pencil to partially colour like a petal then dip a paper stump in like Gamsol ( mineral spirit) then starting on the coloured part blend colour out to shade the petal .
Hey Lori, great tips and advice! I'm curious to know if you had painted the plaster rock with black before adding that amazing iridescent spray over top? I totally agree with you, I'd spray it on everything I owned, like Frank's Red Hot lol!!!❤❤❤❤👍 Thankyou again for sharing your time and talent.
I am mesmerized by your globe, oh to have such skills 😊 I was just digging out my old arts & crafting stuff & realised I really need to be replacing a fair bit of it, so this was synchronicity for me. Thank you, I was wondering where to begin & I've got similar books to decorate so your advice is gratefully received.🕊️💞
@@ColorMyWorld this is so great, I better get my booty to the nearest crafts store today, more for an up to date education on all these wonderful products your using. I've been away from this side of my creative spirit far too long so thank you again for reigniting the love & joy in it for me. Hope you have an even greater day filled with the colour & healing love your giving by sharing your skills with us.🕊️💞
Same here, my wee flat looks like a crafter's jumble sale with crochet, sewing supplies & other wee things that have caught my eye over the years. Only just found the needle punch thingy ma jig - no material is safe from me the now😄. I'm looking forward to bringing more to the projects I do from now on & to improve ones I've had sitting in watching your uploads, you already got my imagination firing away. 🕊️💞
These are great! I love the mod podge iridescent spray!!! And look at you, you have paint on your hand! LoL 😂😆 I can just imagine you doing a paint pour!! Thank you for these hack videos!! I sealed entire pencils inside glass, like a ship in a bottle.
Genius hacks! I have the Princeton spotter, it’s is great but make sure you condition the bristles because they fray very easily. Here’s a hack for you: to keep your brushes bristles nice and conditioned, mostly when using acrylics, use a makeup wipe to clean them after rinsing them with water. I stopped having frayed brushes when I started doing that. That globe is amazing it does look like an entire universe is contained in it!
@@ColorMyWorld I use pink soap and the master’s brush cleaner, but what really stopped my detail brushes from fraying when used on toothy gessoed canvases is the makeup wipes. You rinse your brush in water as you normally would and then you wipe it back to shape on the makeup wipe.
Lori, HI!! It's been a while! LOVE this video!!! You have me wanting to get some plaster of paris! And of course that spray.....if I can find and afford it I will have THE coolest mailbox in the U.S!! All of these hacks are so useful and helpful. Thank you so much! Still simply the best!!❤😘
It would be better to use an acrylic medium to thicken paint, or thin paint. The baby powder and mod pose or glue could change the co,or of the paint,mor cause yellowing There are a lot of acrylic mediums available that do different things to paint.
Looks exactly like my eyeliner brush! Asa matter of fact, I took my extra older eyeliner slanted brush, and have used it with both watercolour and acrylic :)
HELLO , GREAT GREAT GREAT VIDEO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM NOE FULLY SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL . LOTS OF AMAZING IDEAS , TIPS , TRICKS , I HAVE A COUPLE OF THEM AND THANKYOU FOR SHARING WITH US ALL HOW TO USE THEM IN SUCH A VERSATILE WAYS. HAPPY CRAFTING TO YOU . STUNNING PAINTINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT VIDEO N GREAT ARTISTRY.
I randomly found this video & KNOW 100% I was subscribed but for some reason was unsubscribed! Glad I came across it because I subbed again!! Such a great channel & great tips!!
I was going to bed and saw your channel. Well, 1 hr later. I'm really interested in your painting in the adult coloring books. what you did to the eye OMGoodness. amazing. I joined your channel.
Also you’re really choked up on that brush. I know holding it by the ferrel feels like it gives you more control but you should center your hand in the swell of the brush.
Great video! I will now have to seek out a few of these items and see what I can create. That electric eraser with those color pencil nibs are a burnishers dream and will save many hands from carpal tunnel. I will save this to watch back later and see if I can find some of the items. Thanks again for the hacks, look forward to watching other vids you made. 😊
@@ColorMyWorld Yes, I've been exploring other media to do colouring pages and having a lot of fun. Your OMS tip means I can use coloured pencils again, may be not the entire picture but they will add texture and interest.
I'm not sure if you can find it with that angle, but you're using a 10/0 brush, and you can buy a 20/0 brush. It's actually one of my favorite brushes. And to keep it from getting frizzy and looking like it has split ends after you wash it put a little Ivory soap on it reshape it with your fingertips and let it dry.
The triple thick eyes, have an uneven surface reflection, due to Brush Strokes. It would probably be better to apply it similar to the Paint-Dots you showed.. where its more likely to maintain a smoother uniform surface. (Thinner Clears can often self-level.. even when applied with a brush.. however, thick clears are not as good at self-leveling, thus causing the uneven surface shapes) Another safer idea, would be to make a Frisket Mask, and then spray clear gloss or maybe Triple Thick aerosol spray, onto the eye area from about 10" away, in light mists passes. Possibly applying a few coats... with drying time between coats. This would make a thinner, but glossy eye.. vs.. the above method which would be more of an actual 3D bump / dome shape. The pencil thinner trick is cool.. and the Iridescence spray looks awesome. I believe they make thick lead-holders and or special mechanical pencils that can hold those thicker colored leads. (I think the dollar stores used to sell them, and included a mini-shaperner in the package) With a Powered Eraser... one might consider making a make-shift blending stump to insert into the rear. (maybe use a used up fiber marker tip?) Or... to use a speed adjustable dremel tool, with either a rubber nib, or one of the other polishing nibs (dense wool, or other hybrid materials. These often come in the accessory kits). A standard speed adjustable drill could also be used, if you have a flexible wand extension attachment. They can be adjusted to run at much lower speeds, with much higher torque (strength). They are also much quieter. Though, even the wand will be a bit clumsy / heavy... and if not careful, the flex shaft can coil up, violently moving the drill. (if choosing that option, look for the drills that have s small round dial on the trigger, and whos trigger can auto-lock in the On position. The dial spin sets the speed (RPM) ) Also, dremel tools have different sized Collets, that can hold different shaft thicknesses. Additionally, there are attachments for mini-drill heads... so any size shaft can be locked in place. Meaning, you could also likely use a dremel for inserting those leads.
I have a professional dremel, but it would probably be way too much for the fragile leads. I can try and let you know. Leads available to the public are 2.0 or smaller. That's way too small. I happen to have 3.3 from the manufacturer. They aren't available to the public although it may be me that couldn't find it.
They had it in stock yesterday. This product went viral on Tiktok and people are panting to get it. I'll go look for you. They may have changed the link.
Very cool art hacks! I have to say something. Your voice sounds really familiar. You sound like Doris Roberts from everyone loves Raymond. Raymonds mom! lol
I just discovered your channel today. This is my second video, and I learned so much so fast. Tried to order the detail brush, but they are out of stock. However, you have a new subscriber. Keep up the great work.😃👍
Just came across your channel. I just ordered the ModPodge spray !! Thanks fir the great tips. You are soooo talented !! You’re not from New York are you ??? I’m a Long Islander and recognize the great accent !!❤️👍
I am still doing colored pencil but it takes longer than two days now because the pictures are so much more complicated. I have a cool one coming out soon. I promise. Actually I am working on 3 pencil ones.
Hi Lori. I just wondered if you could help me figure out if I need to mix something with water based acrylic paint to be able to use it in Montana refillable art markers to make my own colors of acrylic paint pens. My friend bought me some Deco Art 2 Oz. bottles of acrylic water based paint and I want to use them in refillable paint pens .
Here is the problem. The nib for acrylic paint pens is not the same as the marker nibs. The acrylic nibs have the paint flow over this little plastic piece that bops up and down as you prime it. Marker nibs have the ink flow through it. They would glop up and harden if you tried it with the marker nibs. I do use copic ink with the blank marker nibs. Works really well. Go for the bottles and the needle adapter for acrylic.
This is just me, but I don't trust lists like these because its always items that the person is making a commission on Amazon. Once the vid is over you might see them using a couple of the items but not all of them and then after awhile you don't see them using them at all.
Yes I used black gesso and I know the spray is hard to get. It keeps coming and going from Amazon. The link I provided is the only one that works and not all the time. I checked today and it's out, but just 2 days ago it was in. Blicks had it and may still have it.
@@Loonit23 Use only 2 coats and let it dry completely in between. All iridescent spray works the same way. After 2 coats it starts to look cloudy. The sparkle comes out more as it dries. Don't judge it wet.
I don't think so. I believe Gamsol is mineral spirit. I get the Daler and Rowney at Walmart. It's cheaper than Gamsol and I personally think it works better but that's just my opinion.

What does the baby powder and glue do to the acrylic paints?
It make it puffy so it stands up instead of shrinking flat down on to the object you are painting. Gives texture.

You just invented “electric colored pencils”! Cool!
I didn't invent it but I certainly will be using it! I should talk to my friend Andy about making the cores available.
@@ColorMyWorld How cool would that be. Maybe a pack of cores for such & such a price. Like glitter gel pen refills.
To get the black iridescent rock, did you coat it with black gesso first? Or is it just the spray?
You can't get this spray anywhere. :(
Yes I used black gesso and I know the spray is hard to get. It keeps coming and going from Amazon. The link I provided is the only one that works and not all the time. I checked today and it's out, but just 2 days ago it was in. Blicks had it and may still have it.

Ghost crab eyes.
The low order thinner you used, is that the same thing as Gamosol ?
