20240923 Another Hide and Reveal with Candyshop Colors - What we have those pigments for, right!? 🍭

Hi!
I'm doing all kinds of things outside my comfort zone this week.... I'm not into sweet colors.
But hey, isn't that what we have those beautiful shimmery pigments for?!
Whether it's This Little Piggy's or other brands, you MUST play with it!
This was again a small test canvas, but I really enjoy watching it myself.
So why not, I didn't want to keep it from you.
Just having fun playing and trying out!!
And a little tribute to Jess from Winterstromart, for her beautiful technique, you can do so many different things with it.
The variations are endless!
This is a nice palette, and now I suddenly think.... a transfer swipe!
But consciously and not to save a partially ruined painting (as I so often do).
But on a negative space... black or white... or both?!
Would I succeed?
Happy pouring!
Love x
(Now I can't get 50 Cent out of my head....)
How I make my BASE:
Talens Art Creation Titanium White and Owatrol floetrol (1:3 minimal water added). I do this in portions (cups) of 35 grams of Titanium White and 105 grams of Owatrol, and usually add 5 grams of water. I make larger stocks of this, and always try to let it rest for at least 2 days so that it has fewer air bubbles
The COLORS I used:
TLP Pinwheel
TLP Unicorn
Golden Teal
Golden Permanent Violet Dark
Amsterdam Expert Permanent Red Violet
Eye Candy Pigments Aztec Purple
BOOM gel stain Pearlescent Teal
I MIX MY COLORS also with Owatrol floetrol. Ratio depends on the pigmentation and thickness of the paint, also a very small amount of water added for consistency, but slightly thinner than the base.
I first wet my PIGMENTS with a little JoSonja varnish until I have a paste. Then I add a small scoop of binder (Caparol). I also use Owatrol as PM with the pigments and that is not paint. It therefore lacks the binding. And I personally don't like it when colors become 'runny'. So that's how I solve it. Then I also add Owatrol floetrol to this, I do that by eye, in the same consistency as the other colours.
I make my CELL ACTIVATOR with acrylic paint and Australian floetrol (1:2). I used Amsterdam Titanium White here. For the Gold cell activator I mix two different types of Gold. I use Golden Bright Gold and Amsterdam Deep Gold (1:3 approximately). Because Amsterdam works well, and Golden to make the color more beautiful!
