Wow, here I am back with another video. And surprisingly, it's not about the hobo-digi. Oh my god. Actually, it's about art supplies, which is something I've been collecting far along there than I have been collecting hobo-digi stuff. And I'm in this video. We're talking about the golden open acrylics. I'm sorry, golden open, slow drying acrylics. So acrylic paints are basically like liquid plastic. And when you're using them as a paint, the tendency of the original ones is to they do drag quickly. There are slower drying alternatives like oil paints. However, some of the materials that you need to use are the cleaning materials are solvents and they have fumes. So that might make people sick. And so that's why you'd want to use acrylics to get your paintings. And if you are sensitive to that kind of stuff. And so golden has developed this product that is an acrylic that dries much slower and you get this cool open thinner. You could also, you could have bought before other stuff to mix into your paint to make it last longer. But this is just a paint now, is a new formula, I guess. Different type of formula that allows for that to happen. So we have this really cool guide that comes with the paints. And it shows you all these colors that you can make with just the eight colors that come in the pack. And you'll see if there's like one, two, three, four, five, seven, eight refers to the color, not, not an amount. And so you'll see like over here, at the end over here, like where it says like five, four, eight in the corner. Like number five is like the blue is number five. So like those three bars are like approximately how much in comparison to each other, you'd want to use to make that color. But you'll see here, I'm not even looking at that to make any colors. I'm just going about my merry way to mix the colors. And right now, I just want to see. I want to know, I want to feel here and observe how the colors are mixing with each other. How the paint mixes with it, with each other, with itself, with each other. All the different colors of paint mix. So this has got the, let me take a look here, what color is this? It's probably, they low blue and they low green. And I'm seeing how they mix together. And you see like they, it makes that like delicious teal so good. Yeah. So here I've gone ahead and I've swatched. Apparently I made a gray, which is cool. Because gray is a cool color. Okay, so I made a gray color. And you'll see what I'll do next is I'm, what I'm trying to do here is compare what the paint, how the paint reacts to the thinner. That comes with this, the open thinner, right here. And also later on how it's going to react with just water to that end down. Yeah, so you see here it pretty much allows you to make a glaze, right? So it's like a really thin layer of color with like even consistency, which is, which is something that oil paints are like really great to do with the light. So then I'm trying to clean my brush over here. So now I'm just adding, adding, adding, adding water to the, you'll see it just, it does something completely different. The color doesn't spread evenly. It just, it just goes to where the water is, much like watercolor. And, and you know, that might be a strategy you use when you make your paintings. You know, like not, you know, nothing, you know, nothing. And you'll always have to be, have to use the paints as a scratch. You can, you know, that's kind of what art is about, right? You can just kind of, you kind of want to do this type of experimentation to see how, how the paint works and how it reacts to what you might, what you might want to do. And like, maybe you want that watercolor. Like, oftentimes if I'm working in, in water colors, on paper, if I know that I don't want the background to change up, I might go into my acrylics and do a wash and acrylic so that the background doesn't change. Wash, darn it, email. Of course, it's a craft store email update. Let me know, stuff is on sale and I'm like, I can't, but I will, but I can't, but I'm gonna, so I've moved on to trying to blend, blend colors now in bigger, bigger swatches. So here's that cool gray I made again. And yeah, I'm just trying to see how it behaves here. And I don't, I don't believe that they were trying to recreate oil paints and acrylics because this looks very different from oils. Like, oils are much thicker. The consistency of the paint is much thicker and this is going on pretty thin. And I mean, I think their main goal is to slow down the drying of the paint. And if it has to be cool, I'll quote watery like this is like pretty thin. But that's okay because they're trying to, they're trying to have it, the goal was to have it be re-workable. It also work well as a paint. And so here, I think if we're something magical is going to happen. Yeah, I've added some opaque, I'm sorry, not opaque, it's a, it is an opaque white, it is titanium white because they're like, the bajillion different white paints. But this is the one that comes up and says it's a titanium white and you look at here, it's like super thin, you know, this is what I think oils look like. I feel like there's lots of potential to go like overroke if you really want to. Okay, here I'm trying to see, all right, so I added my, my opaque white. What is that going to do to the paint? Yeah, and it kind of does the glazing effect. But now it has this like, now I feel like, it's like this weird like jelly donut type of glazing versus like the glazing I was talking about before. So maybe you want, maybe you will paint, like, and that's what you want. That kind of like translucent, like sugary coating of feeling. Maybe you will want that underpainting of your donut. Yeah, so yeah, so I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna let this experimentation finish and so please like and subscribe, subscribe, like and describe, we'll leave it like and describe. But only if you really want to. So yeah, Peace out. Blue donuts, I feel real interesting. You feel like decorating with stars or make them like underwater theme, maybe you could have like half person, half fish, very tail, maybe, maybe.
