Absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much. I think you opening the garage door, sorry craft room, and realizing it was dark was typical of many artists and crafters who completely lose track of time.🥰
For a smoother finish on canvas you can get Gesso at the craft store and paint the canvas with it.. then when dry sand it smooth. Do it a few times to get a really smooth surface. Most painters/artists need a little texture from canvas as it gives bite or tooth for the paints to stick as brushed on.
@@tendr247 would love step by step of what you use and how you make it. I would save so much money if I can make my own. Excited and looking forward to your response.
Cool Dude you made me smile and learn at the same time. You are the best kind of teacher and I have been teaching 33 years. Humour and facts make powerful medicine. A recipe to pass down the generations.
This guy is so good I could listen him all the time. I am making a coffee table for my daughter and HE gave me an excellent idea how to make it something special. Thank you Duncan👍
I can't remember how I hooked up to your site .... this is the first video of yours that I watched ... but I guarantee it is not the last. I have been into paint, since I created a technique, back in the early 70's (at least I think I created it ... never seeing anyone else do it before) ... using burning plastic, on dash components for my custom van. I moved into air brushing t-shirts, painting car bodies, then painting with brushes on canvas, and now integrating brush and air brush on canvas ... while still painting on other materials ... have seen water droplet effects before but not how it was accomplished ... thanks, Very Cool.
I used the water drop affect in some epoxy corn hole boards I made a few years ago. They turned out insane! You explained everything perfectly. Love the water drop affect, love your videos. ❤️❤️
There's no two ways about it. You, my friend, are a genius with God-given wisdom! You're the Solomon of the airbrush! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR TALENT WITH US! I'm sure that in your painting endeavors and teaching, that you may have inspired more than a few young people to either put the gaming controller down or come in off the streets and follow your lead and express themselves in a positive way! KEEP THE FAITH AND KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT MY FRIEND! GOD BLESS AND TAKE CARE...
I discovered a similar effect when you do a base coat, and while it's still wet, immediately follow with a different color primer and it creates an amazing crackle effect and will dry that way without any clear needed! The primer floats on top of the wet paint!
Sounds great. I accidently created that snakeskin effect on my sons bedroom furniture after I painted it black, I think I varnished it before it was cured and hence the lovely pattern emerged much to my delight.
I dont get to watch as many of your videos as I used to..Life.. but love every single one that you have done. I love and appreciate how you explain your techniques and have fun while teaching. You really inspired me to do Toomblers and more. My first 2 of them that I did were using the Dawn dish soap and then the 2 tone woodgrain. Looking forward to more of your videos as always.
A tip for orienting / hanging the piece with the water droplets: Since light ordinarily comes from above us, mount the piece with the "shadowed" side down and the highlight side up. Alternatively, do whacha want. 😁 Excellent work... and fun!
@@artildawn : And I'm such a pure visual type that, unless I actually SEE it done, I don't know for sure how it'll look. lol But I totally get what you're saying.
That's pretty cool. I was doing this stuff almost 40 years ago with an airbrush when I was studying Commercial Arts (now called "Graphic Design"). What's old is new again.
After watching your video I tried the water droplets technique ! It turned out amazing and was so fun and easy to do . I want to do another but won’t use silver as my beginning background. The reflective color kind of throws the effect off a bit at certain angles . But so many ways to go with this ! I would like to see you do an acrylic pour painting . Give it a try if you have not done so . They are fun and like a box of chocolates ,, you just never know what you’re going to get !
I love this video. Not only is it fun for the art but you remind me so much of me it's wild . You are entertaining delightful and adorable. And you're art your airbrush art is amazing!
So I just stumbled onto your page and I have to say I am very impressed. Thank you for your explanations and your sense of humor. I do a lot of basic spray painting. (One color) but now imma step it up with the help of your page. Thank you and have a great day on purpose.
Thank you, I’ve never used spray paint or truthfully barely have any paint skills but redoing a interior wall and I’m going to try this technique out on it. 🤞🏻✌🏻 Gosh bless
You are probably one of the best people at demonstrations that I have ever watched!! You make it so easy to follow and I swear, I laugh the whole time because you are so funny! I can't stand watching videos where people just keep blabbing about shit that has nothing to do with the project and waste time. I have the ADDsyndrome (haha) and you are one of the scarce few that can keep my attention THE WHOLE TIME!!! 😁😁😁
Thanks mate great video! I look forward to going through all your other videos. I am retired now and Decided to start painting again. I’ve done other spray paint art using texturing materials, such as crumpled up newspapers and tinfoil, space stuff. I look forward to learning more techniques. Thank you. You’re very talented. thanks for the inspiration.
I love the effects. I did one with water droplets a few years ago and wrote the word "WET" over the water droplets. Everyone that sees the effect just cracks up, they cannot believe it is painted.
Dude, that was amazing. Could you also have tilted the canvas after applying the water to get the larger droplets to run for a similar effect with droplets and runs? I have searched and searched for a class where I can learn to airbrush. My problem is with the airbrush clogging up. If I thin the paint too much, the results are terrible, but if I don't thin the paint the brush clogs. I need instruction as to how to adjust the brush and paint for varying conditions. Any suggestions where I can get such instructions?
I saw the second one years ago and always meant to try it, but never got around to it. This was a good reminder for me to try it as well as adding another trick to my mental toolbox with that first one.
Fun video. Cool technique. I attempted this. My effort came out looking like the "acid washed" version. I was going for the bolder shadowed droplet look. I spray painted a 1/8 in thick rectangle of plywood gloss white and let it dry. Then sprayed water droplets on the panel. I sprayed gloss black at one angle and a green at a different angle. (not sure how to convey this) My water drops were weak at the edges. I'm assuming what I am missing is surface tension. What is the trick to make the water droplets more pronounced and stand up from the panel surface more?
I like the salon sprayer I have because it can atomiz the water very well and I can vary up the drop sizes. You may just need to spray more water and some will combine to make nicer bigger drops. Also play around with the amount of paint your spray, try more and try less, but a very low sharp angle.
Awesome share! Hello from across the pond (no, not England) 😂 Just found you, your talent (and your humour). Subbed, looking forward to learning something new. 😊
Well, just when you think you've seen it all, along comes one those videos of a guy mixing good humor with unique art and a bit of science. I did airbrushing for several years in a tourist town, then got into fractal burning wood, now I'm thinking about epoxy and the like. And now you show me something new. Very cool. Might combine a few different things. See if I can come up with something original. Or is the saying "nothing new under the sun" a real thing? Guess it doesn't matter if it's original to you, right? Enjoyed your video and picked up a bit of inspiration from it. Well done.
😂😂 This izz the first video i've seen by him, and he's comical. i like what he shared (AMAZING). i will definitely be viewing his previous videos on metal and woodwork.
I was told about the "rag" technique back in the 70's. Use a basic color for the background, then dip a rag in an opposing color. I tried white with black. Dip a rag in black paint and wring out most of the paint, like a paintbrush. Then just roll it down the wall from top to bottom. My bathroom looked like a zebra exploded in it, but still very cool.
This is absolutely beautiful and AMAZING!! I've always wanted to know how to make rain drops on canvas, so ty!! And u my friend, are hilarious! U just got yourself another subscriber bc of your talent and your personality!! God bless!!
Terry..you da man! Love your very creative ideas. Wish there was a way to show you the "Bigfoot plaster cast clock" I made. It's huge and yes I epoxied it. I have a few pics, but not sure how to send them to you....hmmmm....
That was really cool to watch n learn few new tricks...thank u for sharing them!! Keep the cre8ivity, tips, tricks & videos coming!! Congrats on the new personalized airbrush kit, looks gr8 n luv the color...u will have them available again in near future so I can grab one!! Til next tyme....keep those cre8ive juices abrewing!!!
Love it, especially the drops -and timelessness lol! Any chance of a vid demonstrating the psychedelic gradient with patches panel? Apologies if you've put it up already etc (I used to spray bikes and spent hours over gradients -one day I'd finally got the Red to Yellow perfect blend and picked up the clear coat to finish -except that it was the Silver I was using on another project. Yeah. Mess. I got there eventually :D
Not a pro, but I use winded. Looking glass paint, spray in the container (large glass jars) then spray winded inside. Dry. Looking glass paint again, windex. Do it until you get the desired effect. Love your video!!!!
It makes me wonder, when you let the paint on the drops of water dry, won't they be adhesive the next morning of after drying with a heater? you probably have bad bonding right? the effect does look cool I would have never thought this could be the way to make those. it is a realistic effect and probably better if you give it a top coat in high gloss of satin transparant laquer
Any one know what "Put the water on the DNA way" means?
spitting it out and putting your DNA on it. Talk about making it personal! 😜🤑
LoL I think the real question is, why didn’t he use his air brush gun instead of a can of spray paint 🤔
❤️❤️❤️❤️
@rebeccamd7903 my guess is because of the paint type, especially with the acid wash look, air brush paint doesn't dry like spray paint.
Spitting just like Pob!
Those water droplets look so realistic! I love that technique!
This guy's out there......so refreshing.
I don't care if it's been done before, I could listen to this guy all day.

hello, what did you say to spray it with once dried? clear something?
either use a transparent color or what I will use is Rustolium Matte Cleare
In your opinion which is a better base coat silver or white
It makes me wonder, when you let the paint on the drops of water dry, won't they be adhesive the next morning of after drying with a heater? you probably have bad bonding right? the effect does look cool I would have never thought this could be the way to make those. it is a realistic effect and probably better if you give it a top coat in high gloss of satin transparant laquer
Yes you have to top coat it - I mentioned it in the vid👍
