1. Intro : Hi, my name is Bobby.
I'm an artist. I'm known for my blood
inspired art works, but I also have a very colorful site which I showed you before
here on Skillshare, I have multiple courses
up about acrylic pouring, including the rainbow pore. But today it's all about
finishing up your paintings. I always foreigners my paintings because I love how
the colors come back alive the moment you seal the deal with
this shiny gloss, you've got multiple ways
to finance your pieces. But today I'm going to show you how you can do it the
quick and easy way. I use this technique
myself and I love how in a flick of a wrist you
can lock the colors in. So let's get started.
2. The supplies you need: As I said, it's
quick and it's easy. I usually do this outside, but for filming and doing it
inside of my studio today. But if you can do it
outside, please go outside. And it doesn't really matter
if you're inside or outside. Use a mosque. I use the tree. Whole face masks, the
respiratory ones. But if you're inside, also open the windows
and make sure to reduce the fumes during and
after your furnace session. I also use gloss. I got a brush. This one has a very, very soft and gentle bristles. You need a box. I can't really show
you the bucks. I think it's too
big for the few. As I said, it's fairly big, but it's one of
those plastic boxes that you can put on top of it, some recyclable plastic for on your table or your work spot. But because I'm
already in my studio, it's already on here for me. You can also use a trash bag or a plastic bags and
varnishing it. Can I use these
brands because I'm from the Netherlands and
we do not have Crayola. And over here, ghrelin is
a fairly famous brand. It is mostly used by artists in the USA and in Canada for
furnishing their pieces. It is possible for me to get it shipped to the
Netherlands though, but the shipping
costs are way high. They're like, I think the entire package calls between 80 and maybe
hundred euros. So it was back then. I didn't know how it is now, but that is why I
formed my own version. So I'm very pleased
with this one. It took me awhile
though, but I got it. This brand is sold at the
hallmark in the Netherlands. It is around €10. It's the high gloss
foreign news and I prefer Hague laws
for my painting, yoga foreign A's in
all kinds of finishes. So just explore for you
whatever you prefer. Hello. Today, I'm going to
use high gloss finish. It took for you if you're
exploring and experimenting, make a tryout painting. I did that as well for myself. And that is, I use
a white, clean, clear canvas and the moment you spray or apply a
varnish on top of it, you can immediately see if
it's clear and I run into so many yellow varnish is the discipline for
me is crystal-clear. It also stays clear by the way, due to the UV protection
that is in there. And right away, you
can always google the brand to see
if they set it in your country or in your area. With that being said,
Let's get started.
3. Cleaning your paintings: First I'm going to
put on my gloves. Always like that. I always work with gloves, especially because I'm an artist and I like to keep
my hands clean, but because of common
convex so much with pain and all kinds
of stuff and varnish. I just always use
protection with gloves to be blue
clothing and of course my mosque, but
the gloves are on. First, I'm going to clean my
paintings and that is why I brought myself
dense, gentle bro. I'm going to clean them
because there is dust on them, you probably cannot
really see it. But the moment you go close up, I can show it to you. You will see this particles. That can be because I
feel the intro into paintings lay on
top of my table. But also this can be collecting in your
paintings with ease. They can lie a little
bit on the table. We've worked foreign
news and even when I protect them against us, it still ends up there. So we need delicate brush, gently swipe over the paintings. I do take my time for this. I don't want to ruin
the Yangzi my piece, this painting is
made on Bupa paper, which is made from synthetics. And when I brush to
heart, I Smartsheet it. Sometimes the FX are awesome. Not whether on, right now, I prefer to do this in a
different spot than a Usha. You are actually varnish because we're filming
in the same spot today, so we don't have a choice, but it's a tip for you. If you can furnish
in a different area than the QR, dusting them off. That would be amazing. It prevents the dust from
flying in the air a later leaning back into your pieces again, take your time for it. You can also blow it away. I noticed you have those
cans with air in them that, hey, this works amazing for me and that is
the key right here. Do whatever works good for you. I'm showing you my way. You can do whatever you want. We're going to shift over
to the acrylic painting. Do keep in mind if you work with silicone in
your artwork, e.g. when you make an
acrylic pour painting, clean your paintings
first because you will spread this
silicone everywhere. And if you apply it to date
with the spray for RNAs, you will do on your entire piece whenever you're done cleaning your paintings from the dust, I like to prepare my
space and there's already plastic or my table
as I told you before, lie down your
classic if you want, you can take the sides, especially if you're outdoors, That would be amazing because then the plastic or
whatever you're using, boom, fly up and smack
your painting the moment you're done varnishing it will stick to it and
we do not want that. If you want, you can even grab the plastic box that
I showed you before, which I can really
show you because it's so big but easier. You can place it on
top of your painting, let the dust settle for like ten to 15 min and come back in. I also built for his tens that's above my patron if
you're interested in that. But today is all about ease. All of that. Put on your mask, put on your gloves if you
don't already have them on, I prefer to put them on before. It's actually my paintings. But if you haven't,
you can put them on now because it's
time to varnish.
4. Varnishing the Yupo Paper painting: I shake up my spray
fine niche and I like to walk my painting
like these are my arm. We can also lead
sled that I like to work when it's laying
on my arm because I feel like I have better
control over the painting and also over the
spray orange itself. Then I lightly brush
over the painting. I do not have any one spot. I just keep on going
because painting in one spot gives you
an irregular finish, which can be noticeable. And if you do it
too much, you get drips and we don't
know long trips today. So be fast, but not too fast. Not too slow and slightly brush which you
can overdo painting itself. I prefer to do. I
see multiple layers instead of a very thick one. It's better to ease the layers onto it and has some
drain time in-between. And then the moment I'm done, I put the box on top of it
so it can dry and cure. Nps is only takes a
few minutes though, but do not touch it until you
wait at least a day or so. I always take one day for it. Before I go to
touch the painting. Let's move over to the Canvas.
5. Varnishing the canvas painting: Canvas painting, I worked
slightly different because I hold in my hand. This also gives me
better control, but this technique
is still the same. You're going to get laid flat
if that works out for you. But I have done
it so many times. I know my weight in it. I prefer to flick the painting
around so I can see where the furnish has landed and
it did not, It's ten layers. So finish with a campus. I'm also willing to add more layers or to apply it in a little
bit thicker than I do. And the pupil paper or the blood type painting
that you saw before, because it is more
possible now due to the acrylics that I
have used on this one, when you work with inks, that is not possible
because you will make the ink if you apply
the list too thick. Run me again, I'm still
protein layers at first, a leader being a little heavy-handed. But
again, it's not. The delays gets so thick
that you create drips. Then when you're done,
you put the baby under a box and let the gym dry. Wait. The canvas paintings, I
have way more careful with dry because most of the time the acrylics need to
try a little longer. So don't ask them
to see if they're ready or if they're
done. Do not do this. And if you're really curious, please touch the side
instead of on the front. Because when you touch them on the front or the side
that's facing you, you will always see that. Just wait at least one day
before the painting again, it should be fine after 6 h, but I rather be safe than sorry, if you do mess up your findings, do not panic most of the time. If it's still wet, it
is possible to apply another layer or multiple layers and you won't see it anymore. And if delay is so thick
that you gotta drip quickly, wipe it away with my finger
when it's still fresh and wet and it's hard to blend
it in as much as I can, but also fairly minimal. At the same spot. I do not spread it all
over the painting, but only in the area, but I don't touch it too much. It's just a swipe
and a slight tap. Add more layers to it or
find it in this web state. And this always helped me out.
6. Outro: That is how I finished
my paintings. It's such a quick and easy way. You can do it everywhere. Indoors, but also
outdoors, which I prefer. But you can do it in the garage. But always make sure that
you open the windows and please be aware of your surroundings
because you're not only furnishing your paintings. If you don't take
other stuff away, the varnish may sometimes can hit other things nearby and that is why I like to make
sure that everything is covered under plastic. If I'm doing this immersive
video or take special pieces, are finished pieces
out of the way. Of course, safety first, wear your gloves,
wear your mask. Thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to follow
me on Instagram. Your couriers of our
paintings check them out in my shop because they are
all available over there. And if you want to
know more about them, hit me up on patriot. Because there I go into depth about the paintings and
meanings behind them, behind the scenes, stuff, tips and tricks and way more. I appreciate you and have
yourself a blissful day.
