I just did a pour with some phthalo
metallic green from Artist's Loft and
it has some really huge cells going on here. Show you all the finished work
But this will look so cool with a gloss coat on it. Um,
it's already looking really nice.
But that is the way to do a sand, a black sand pour on a
project. Okay for this one I'm going to do
just the two color. I'm going to do
some white
and I'm going to do this Artist's Loft
metallic phthalo green. I think that's how you say it. Phthalo?
It's P-H-T-H-A-L-O.
So, whatever. Um,
Let me get a cup here,
stir stick,
popsicle stick. Gotta love it.
And I'm going to put some green in a cup here.
Just a little bit. Not, not too much.
You can see how much I have in there.  It's not too much.
And then... Woah, I almost put white in there. Uh, just a little water.
But the real culprit will be this PVA Elmer's glue.
That's what I want a lot of in there.
To get a good mix in there.
Okay, now let's stir that up. See if I got
Make sure I get all that off the bottom.
I just did a couple pours of
just black and whites and they turned out really cool.
I don't know you happen to watch those videos or not, but I
guess it depends on which one I post
LOL
Make sure I get all of it here
Just a little thick just a little shot of water there ever so slightly
Just enough to break it up you
Don't want it too thin you don't want it, too thick I mean come on
Okay
So I think what I'm going to do is
A
band Straight across here I
Could also do one diagonally?
Let's see what do I want to do?
Let's do a diagonal
you
There doesn't really have to be a specific plan of what I'm really doing
Just kind of leaving it open here
Trying to make a little bit of design to it
Let me get just a little bit more on there. Just a skosh
Just so I can kind of control this just a little bit more
and then over here
Come out a little bit make a little flange just the hair
Then kind of level it out. I guess
and now for the white
Though I totally did not get silicon on that. That's okay. I'll get it on this white
And it'll turn out even better
This time I'm not going with too much white on my last pour
I did a little too much white and it was really hard to
Get it to look right
Okay, maybe I do need a little bit more air
All right, let's hit that with a gun and see what happens
That's some cool sell for me
So there's some really cool cells forming up there
Sometimes you just have to give it a minute let them all come up and bubble up
but I really like it that I mean it's a really easy pour to do and
You know I can always come back in and touch up the little parts just a little bit
like there's just a little stuff over here going on, but
seriously that one was a really easy one sometimes you get lucky and you just
You get ones that are just really easy to do and they look really good
For this video. I am going to take this painting that I did with some metallic Phthalo green
the artist loft as
You can see it has some really cool
sheen Light to it and
What I want to do is
do something that I did with the one I don't know if you watch the
video the Black parole that I did, but I did it with
some
Black sand
and
I got this jo-Ann's Fabric store
You can get like blacks and Blue sand white sand
So anyways what I'm going to do is put black sand on each side of this so basically. I want to get started doing that
so I have some painters tape and
I want to tape off
Where I?
guess I better cut this
Cut it nice and square
I basically want to I say basically a lot. I just figured that out. I'm such a nerd
Basically I would like to take
And stay inside the green area
And then put that on there really good. Don't press too hard where you want to put a dip in the canvas, but
just enough
and then I
Want to I'm going to cut it on the edges because I want I want the edges to be black as well in the sand
So I
Want to just lightly cut this
if I can
Let me go put that there and right here
Doesn't have to be perfect it stands not perfect one thing you have to realize too is that?
the sand actually is raised up a little bit, so
Not that much, but you will have some raised up sand on there
But one thing I don't want to do that. I did with my first and poor is bunch of
Sand up in one spot because if you pour epoxy over it
You will get big areas that will not cover at all
So I'm not squaring this up in any certain way. I'm just trying to get right there to the edge
And then cut it
And I'm not sure how good this tape is going to hold up. That's kind of scaring me
I'm still working out of the garage by the way, LOL
So that's why I always say if I can do this you can do this, too
So what I want to do is I want to get out some black paint and I want to paint this
But first I have to cover all of this of course
basically follow well
you know we have things that we say all the time and
Basically is a word. I say all the time. I don't know who I got that from but it's somebody's fault it can't be mine
It cannot be my fault
Basically I don't know who did that
Okay
since I'm better Right-handed
I'll do it that way, so I got a couple more pieces here to view
But I'm hoping this tape works, and it doesn't seep through at all
So I don't know if any of you like really cool pictures
but I am a photographer and
You can go to carl mazur calm and check out some of my stuff if you like
Or ca rl m az u r dot-Com I?
would appreciate it if you did
Just go have some fun there. I live in Southern Utah, and it's like one of the most dramatic places for Red Rock
photography
We have I believe utah has the most arches in the world
natural arches
I'm and that one just isn't going to cover so I'll have to make it too
I've got that one
In the sand when you pour the sand on there it won't be perfect, but don't sweat it
You can always come back and touch it up a little bit
I had to do that on a couple of four of a couple of them that I did
It wasn't perfect so I had to come back and fill in just like dribbles and stand over, but when you're pouring it
You'll see you want to make sure
You'll see when I show you this one. You want to make sure that
the sand Gets on there evenly
Because if it doesn't it's going to leave bubble spots
Where it's just going to look dumb?
So let me set this aside
and I'm going to get a
Little bit a floater already got some float role
I'm going to put in a little bit of that, and then I'm going to do some black
whoa, that's plenty and then
I'm just going to mix start mixing it up here
The reason I'm putting black on there and not just doing a Mod podge
Where it sticks is because the last one I did
Kind of showed through a little bit just a little white, and I didn't like it as much I
almost wish I
Would have painted black on top of the sand I?
Think it would it gave a really cool effect?
Okay
Now I'm going to do the slides first
Look at that. Just like a true painter
I've been painting since I was 12 so don't
Think that you're doing a bad job if you don't do it one swipe or whatever
My Dad was a house painter
and
Me I got into television believe it or not I
Started shooting live news and sports and then I got into the commercial
television Aspect
where I made
Did I say I shot live news and commercials? I don't remember
um I shot commercials after I did the live new thing like
a couple of years after
and then I got into live after that I got into
Doing commercials for people like Andy Williams the singer
They called him Mr.. Christmas. I used to do all his TV commercials for a couple of years I
Seriously, don't even remember how I got hooked up with Andy's crew
Out of the two and a half years I did his spots for him
His commercial spot. I only met him one time. He was really cool
I did a lot more for other entertainers, but I won't go into all that now
Because I used to live in Branson, Missouri. That's why a lot of them came to Branson and
For you for those that are out of the country Branson is kind of like a Nashville, Tennessee
Okay, you're not that one. Oh, I guess I need to get that bye
I guess I want to put it on fairly liberal
The first time because I don't want to have to come back and second coat it
So you see how I'm putting it on like this
Which kind of digs the paint into the Groove?
Just real lightly dust it off
You can kind of get it on get it in there, and then I lay it out. That's called laying it out
This brush really kind of sucks. I left it out one night, and it kind of got crappy on me
But that should be enough to cover the the basic white that's going on, so
I'm going to pause the camera and
Once this dries. I'm going to come back and we're going to do the coding part
Because I need a little bit more on there
If you wanted to drive flat because you don't want the sand to get all funky on you
Okay, I'll be back in a minute
So I let that black paint dry really well so it's not tacky, so I have my black sand ready over here
If you're doing this at home I recommend
Building a little box or something like that
but a
Litter box would work great. I've got myself a litter box but
I have
some a movable piece of cardboard here and
I think what I might do
Lift this up a little bit now. It's going to be too hard
I'm just going to carefully put Modge Podge on the top of it and
Then I'm going to sprinkle my sand on top if it makes a little mess
That's fine, but I want you guys at home to be able to see it
See what I'm doing instead of it being inside of a box, but when you're at home
Up don't make a big mess
I'm in my garage, so I can make a knife
so I'm going to put a
Good portion of Mod pot Mod podge. I can't ever say that
on here on the top of this
And I hope this works you know I've never tried it this way with the tape and all this
I wasn't sure if I was going to do the sides or not I
know should I I just want to focus on getting the top right first you know and
Then I can worry about that so now I'm going to do the sand
And I want to get it nice and even just put it on there like you're putting some pepper on there
Actually, I might do this oh
Man, it looks like I got a little water in there dang it
When I was cleaning off my paintbrush earlier, I dripped a little bit of water in there
Don't want that to happen on
the Canvas
So I'm just going to go real lightly just like that real lightly
nice and light
Just like Pavarotti would say nice and light
Yeah, happy mistake
Happy accident because I'm going to make a few
And I'm going to put it on there you
Want to put it on even like I said you want to
have it on there nice and even because
when you come back to it you
Don't want these big bubble spots
Okay, so want to tap that down just ever so lightly tap it down
And then kind of rub your finger along this edge because you want to make sure it flows nice
and you don't want a lot of heavy stuff on there and then
in to get in your box
See how cool that looks know if you can see that or not let me get the right reflection
Let me tap this off again get one little spot one tiny little spot
if I can get that up here
And focus on it
See how cool that is
It looks like I have a real light spot here, but I'll come back and worry about the corners and a little bit
So there's just a tiny little spot right there
But I'm not going to worry about that right now that is going to dry nice
So now for our next side
And I'm going to peel that tape off here in just a minute
Because I don't want it to dry
with the Mod podge on there and
Dry really solid and when you got to take it off, you're going to rip rip it apart
I can't wait for you guys to try this it'll be so cool. You'll love it
love these
no, I
Told you I worked for stars and a live entertainment industry I never wanted to get on stage
I don't see how they do it. I
Didn't have the desire okay, so again. I'm going to lay this out real nice and as even as I can
And when you go to tap it like I said don't tap too hard you don't want it to
You're not really trying to push it in too much because then when you lift up your fingers will kind of pull from up
That's why you just want to kind of do this number two it just ever so lightly make sure that
the sand is adhering and
then
Go dump it
And make sure you tap it and look it there
as you can see that or not and
When we go to the other side, but I just did I believe that the side, I just did I
Hope that wasn't how to focus the whole time, so now I'm going to peel this tape back
Because I'm going to Modpodge the rest of it
Well, okay, let me put the lid on this Mod podge
Get all the black crap out of it. Don't need that enough
I'll do say
okay, I
Guess I have this fetish of being British. I want to be british for at least
an amount of time so peel that off carefully
and then the next one
sand
and
They say you should peel off at a 45 degree angle on
on tapes and stuff
What if gently fill this off?
And then gently peel this one off at A 45
So 45 means I'm kind of pulling on this a little bit and leaving it at that angle
and then at the end I can get at a steeper angle and
Bam
There she is
You can see how cool that looks
It's kind of uneven this one's bigger than the other one, and that's cruel that
That makes it look really neat so you can see some of that
Let me get it close here. You can see some of the finished look
so there she is and then once I
Gloss over this it will be a really nice
so I'm going to let this dry and
Then I'm going to gloss over it
and
Then I'll show you that
when I
Took the tape off earlier. I
Noticed that there were just a few places
Let me get this focused in
Just a few places along the Edge where I just lightly
Capped off with my finger. You can just lightly
Scrape it so I can even do that now
Scrape it just a hair to get it even more level
So because you want it level and you don't want to you don't want anything sticking up like that. Oh
There's a little piece of something
You can see it sticking up right there
Take that dude right off
there we go fell off and
I also signed it, too
So scrape it just a little but the Maji Maji the Mod podge
You can tell that that I only let this dry for like 15 minutes, and it dry pretty good
Whoops so if you can see that from here
Yeah, it's kind of sparkly the last time I use the matte finish
Mod, Mod Podge don't do that
the
This makes it really shiny
To where it came out really good it came out nice and clean
Along the Edges so I built this little litter box thing
and
It works pretty good
And get my paintbrush all cleared out there
So let me get the Mod Podge going
get my
black sand going on there, so I'm going to take this and
Yeah, the things all leaking now this brush I
Know this is a really long video
But I wanted to show you how to do this so in case you wanted to do it at home
In your garage like me the first part of this video is in our dining room
You want to get it up close to the edge there, but you don't want to get a bunch on the edge
if you can see that okay, and
Then you want to get it around the corner on the bottom just a hair so you want to make sure you get enough
down below because if you don't there will be like a little gap and
It will look kind of dumb
But for this one. I'm just going to pour it on
And then I'm going to tap it down
A little spot right in there and then get it off of there
You can see how that looked now I get it up here to the camera. That will dry
That white spot will dry nice and clear come on P emma
Still not focusing right it's an iPhone
But you can see how cool that's going to look all sparkly around the Edges Q
you
so now just going to keep tapping it a little bit and
So there you go now you can see
How cool it looks and with a black underneath there that really helped me painting it this time
So the white didn't show through at all
Like just a little section there. I'm I ate. Just a few more grains of sand on
Just round that off
so
You can see that
And that white this little white section won't be there that will dry. That's just the Mod podge
so
Anyhow there it is. I'm going to let this dry and then I'll show you the last coat
So let's go ahead and seal this so I went to Walmart tonight
and got some
rust-oleum Gloss and
I am going to coat this
So stay here
Do the Corners first here?
And I won't be breathing all this in I'm going to go and slide here just
So you know?
I let the Mod Podge Grab pretty good Mod Podge whatever
Kind of hard to see what's going on here
Wow, that looks really cool
So I want to make sure look I got everything covered
Really good
Trying to get the bottom there make sure I get the bottoms good
Looks like where the silicone is it is heating up a little bit. Let's take a look
What really brings out the color that makes that black really dark?
if you can feed some of the shine oh
See where we at here there? We go. There's some of the shine
Looks like I have a little black speck in there get out of there
Take a razor get that dude out
Don't want that in there
So there she is
