126 - Glue Gun Painting - Elephant

[@BakerbooPaints]

I'm glad you found my video - thanks for taking the time to watch it and I hope it entertained you for a few minutes :-) I can't remember what most of the paint colours were, so please don't waste your time asking - I also don't know what make of glue sticks I used on this one, as I buy all sorts when they're on offer. If you want to try this yourself, just buy a glue gun, some paint, some glue sticks and experiment - have fun. That's what this is all about :-)

[@berneemartin4383]

It looks like a fun technique to try - so you didn't need to put gesso over the glue before painting it?

[@BakerbooPaints]

I sometimes gesso over the glue and sometimes I don't... depends on whether I can be bothered, whether I remember and which way the wind's blowing lol :-)

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

@@BakerbooPaints will the glue stay on the canvas or will it peel off? I've never tried this before. Looks cool.

[@pattym8639]

Elephants are my absolutely favorite animal on the planet. You did a BEAUTIFUL job. I have a 47x35 African elephant painting in my living room. Good job!!!

[@BakerbooPaints]

Thanks Patty... I can't choose between elephants and giraffes - my house is full of them lol :-) x

[@NolaGB]

Turned out beautifully! Thank you for sharing this with us.

Gorgeous piece of art💕 I LOVE elephants, such loving gentle giants. Give your elephant a name ❤️❤️❤️

[@BakerbooPaints]

Thanks Diane - me too! What do you think he should be called? :-) x

[@JoyAloha709]

That’s fabulous! Thanks for sharing this technique. Gotta try it.

[@BakerbooPaints]

Thanks Gila - love your name, by the way :-) x

[@mariannecampbell9420]

This is SO COOL I think I might even be able to do it!

[@lynnekohler8299]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

i so love this how its done with glue and paints but also i love elephants so awesome job LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT

[@BakerbooPaints]

Thanks Donna - I had a blast making this one - I love lellyflumps too!! :-) x

[@pattym8639]

That's so funny. Giraffes are my second favorite. I have a large giraffe print in my little "African" corner of my apartment. What amazing and gorgeous creatures they both are.

[@BakerbooPaints]

Indeed. If I was forced to choose, I think I'd choose giraffes. They are an incredible feat of nature up close - like nothing else on earth :-)

[@ellygreaves9793]

Great work and thank you for showing and inspiring. Love elephants. I also liked the tree you did as a quadtryptich. Big Hugs

[@BakerbooPaints]

Thanks Elly.... I'm branching out ;-) x

Me too, I thought he was going to add them back :)

I absolutely LOVE this!! Elephants are my favorite animals. I'm gonna have to try this. Although I'm not good at sketching. Lol. Thanks so much for sharing💕

Thanks Julie - glad I've given you some ideas! :-) x

I so want to try this. I have painted ceramic bisque for many years, its still my favorite . But I have been watching this hot glue painting and it has inspired me to try something new. Thank you . P.s. Subscribed .

[@BakerbooPaints]

Thanks - glad to hear I have inspired you to try something new :-) x

That's really pretty.

A very interesting effect. ---Dave...

[@BakerbooPaints]

Thanks Dave - trying new things :-) x

[@lacarola6513]

Beautiful. Can it b made with a persons photo? Or any image?

[@melindasnook8408]

Hi ~ I learned a lot watching your glue gun elephant video. I am wondering if you sealed your elephant or just left if as is ? I would love to see more videos from you on glue gun art. Thanks ~

[@pameladamm2231]

I painted this 4 years ago, didn't seal it and it's still fine.

[@TheNotVeryGoodFortniteGamer]

This is amazing! Do you have to paint the background silver for it to look good?

[@angelamarshall1819]

Gorgeous what is an alternative for some one who can't draw?

[@PSALMSOFSONGS]

I'm so doing this!

[@BakerbooPaints]

Best of luck - hope you have fun with your project :-) x

[@lelievremarieline8257]

Merci, il est superbe !

[@Iris-ug7dr]

Love it

[@chrisyoung8648]

Awesome 👏👍👍

[@jenniferbronston9263]

Just found this and I’m so impressed! It is just beautiful. Do you apply all of the layers of color consecutively or do you let the layers dry in between?

[@holdyourhorses1736]

Nice! Did you add eyes later?

[@BakerbooPaints]

Thanks - nope... he's a no-eyed elly :-) x

[@cayleyhill8291]

very lush

[@BakerbooPaints]

lol - it's rare to find someone who uses the word "lush" on YT. We say "gert lush" where I come from :-) x

[@cayleyhill8291]

@@BakerbooPaints lol lush is a very under used word! once again your picture is very get lush

[@floradempsey7235]

No eyes? Great idea.

[@brendabrownartist]

Is there a list of colours you used and what about eye?

[@PSALMSOFSONGS]

How'd you sketch this? Did you have any traceables??

[@BakerbooPaints]

I just found an image I liked online and then sketched it out onto the canvas freehand - I messed up a few times, but that's why I use pencil and rubber... bye bye mistake lol :-)

[@llynethrowlands7395]

how did you get rid of the pencil marks? Sorry if stupid question, couldn't see.

[@BakerbooPaints]

Just painted over them :-)

[@ShareeMonique]

I'd like to try this but I dont eant to do all that work to have the glue peel and lift. Will this peel easily?

[@BakerbooPaints]

Definitely not - I messed up another one I was making and I could not get the glue off for love nor money and had to scrap it.

[@StudioPashnada]

This is really pretty Sarah. Glad to see you back. Have you used modeling paste much?

[@BakerbooPaints]

Thanks Sherry - not too much... I'm mid project with a massive tree to hang above my headboard in the bedroom - it's got glue, modelling paste, glass bead gel, all sorts! :-) x

[@StudioPashnada]

Bakerboo Paints oh I can't wait to see that!

[@BakerbooPaints]

Nor me - do you wanna pop over the pond and finish it for me? I'm finding it overwhelming lol

[@nickkywise459]

Do you gesso it first at all?

[@BakerbooPaints]

Sometimes I do, sometimes I can't be bothered lol. It doesn't really make any difference anyway - the paint still adheres just fine :-) x

[@leealviar6183]

Do you ever resin? I’m sure the edges would still stand out or am I mistaken?

[@BakerbooPaints]

I do use resin, but never on canvases this size... in fact, rarely on canvases at all :-)

[@Sarah-zg5qs]

I also liked it before you added all the colours to it. I thought and was looking forward to a realistic elephant done by a glue gun.

[@BakerbooPaints]

Sorry to disappoint....... but I loved it and that's all that matters lol

[@1Sweetness]

Eyes??

[@kikak6004]

What happened to the elephant's eyes? 😟

[@BakerbooPaints]

They're there in spirit..... lol :-)

[@BakerbooPaints]

Hey Kika - I thought you might like to know that I ended up giving him two teal gem eyes ;-)

[@kikak6004]

@@BakerbooPaints -- Ahh, teal is perfect! Now he can see how beautiful he is. Yeah, I know that sounds crazy, but I think paintings have a life of their own. Artists like you give them life.

[@monapar2706]

Wish. U can explain instead of. Music

[@BakerbooPaints]

Oh well.... sorry. Plenty of other channels out there where the person talks all through the video :-)

[@acerone10]

I liked it before you added all the colors. At the end it looks more like a flower.

[@BakerbooPaints]

When you make yours, you can leave the colours off then :-)

[@lisamcdonald4397]

@@BakerbooPaints I love it. I'm thinking or making one using a baby elephant and lots of blues for my future grandson's room. I would love to add eyes. What would you recommend using for the eyes?
