Beginners Try 3 Chain Pull Art Techniques (in real time)

[@EvanAndKatelyn2]

Any more techniques we should try? Also, if you wanna hang out with us for the next live stream, it'll be at www.twitch.tv/evanandkatelyn

[@The_better_laptop_gamer]

Hi

[@orphicfemme7694]

Can you try alcohol ink painting on tiles or yupo / grafix craft plastic sheets? I'd love to see it done from the perspective of a true couple of beginners because all the KZbin vids I watch are from people highly skilled.

[@Patricia-sr1ch]

How about doing angel wings & cloud pour?

[@EvanAndKatelyn2]

@@orphicfemme7694 we actually did try it on tile here (also this is the video where Evan doesn't have a beard): kzbin.info/www/bejne/jom6eYyZZaxonrs

[@kholder88]

I love doing dutch pours they're satisfying

[@abcreativeofficial]

Awesome job guys!! 🥰 I’m glad to hear you enjoyed my jellyfish! I really like the glow in the dark idea! Let me know if you need some tips from the acrylic pouring world haha 😋

[@EvanAndKatelyn2]

Thank you! Your jellyfish technique was super fun to try

[@KristiB73]

I Loved your jellyfish too.

[@keeleyclark1284]

It would be so fun to watch you guys do a Bob Ross with flow acrylic paints! Just watching Katelyn try to make it look exact while the paint keeps moving would be hilarious!!

[@PaulaLPope]

I find it amusing that Evan poured the blue paint into a new bottle when all he needed to do was swap the lids. lol

[@bri8661]

He was afraid that if he only swapped the lid, it wouldn't fit correctly and would fall off. With how easily the original lid came off, there was a good chance that the bottle top was smaller or manufactured weird.

[@lizamay722]

Evan and I are the same

[@montialarson]

My brain works like that too. It doesn't think of the most obvious option first. Lol 😂

[@rosehoward9988]

Joob looks like my cat if he was all black lol. I also live in texas too! Could you do something with glasses. Maybe resin glasses frames lol

[@AithwenQuinn]

Calling all Texans!!!

[@bee_boy4110]

Maybe he's joob’s sibling

[@FoxValley123]

That. Would. Be. Epic. Also awwwww your kitty sounds like a cutie

[@dawnthegoblin]

Cue a million resin "experts" deriding you for suggesting a resin project that touches skin directly

[@AshesAshes44]

@@dawnthegoblin Oh man, I haven't heard that one! I'm still reeling from learning how my bottle of diet Dr. Pepper was pure poison for controlling the populace as it slowly kills us. I was feeling nihilistic and looked her in the eye as I took a big sip.

[@jackwalsh4279]

You guys should do Pendulum paint on two or three slaps of clear acrylic or glass and and put them in like a frame as a painting

[@Carrie2085]

They already kinda did the pendulum thing

[@tonispiva9421]

That would be awesome

[@jmicaha2655]

@@Carrie2085 but the layers would be cool, as it'd be double sided on the clear

[@bobblebardsley]

@@Carrie2085 They already kinda did the resin thing too. There's only so many materials and techniques to try in the world, I think the layers idea is really cool and could create some interesting depth and distance effects.

[@Nirrrina]

I did not know a butterfly could be lopsided. In multiple directions at once. I like it!

[@amilena_wyamesart]

The jellyfish turned out so great! I want to try this technique some day.

[@LadyBatChic1]

I think the jellyfish turned out lovely (even with Evan wanting to add "just a little more" towards the end.) If they plan to do an extra final resin layer to smooth this piece out, I would love to see final result. ❤️️

[@SharonRaeRyan]

Omg. My husband and I are totally each other's backup brains! I love the way that's phrased!

[@mochalemonlove8261]

Katelyn: such fancy music for such derpy art me: hes just... built different

[@dantesparda5916]

I was kinda sad when I read you guys wouldn't post a video but then I felt a happiness in my heart when I saw the link to this video, thanks for continuing to bring us content :) I have 2 suggestion for you guys: 1. try adding time stamps on your videos. 2. MAKE MORE BOARD GAMES or real-life games/stuffs in general I'm guilty of watching the entire stream of the previous word game you played on the night before my uni exam 😂

[@mmilcz833]

I like the butterfly quite a bit, actually, it’s deformed in like a cool surreal, abstract sort of way.

[@chrisfuller7884]

When Evan tries the stars with the brush, maybe try a toothbrush for the same effect. Harder bristles might work better when running a finger/thumb over with the paint... be warned, could be messy

[@tiago9977]

I appreciate the timestamps, it's a lot more convenient (especially for long videos like this and in case you ever rewatch it).

[@aliciacorvina3111]

The glitch at 46:12 had me thinking I'd lost my mind lol. I'm so tired I thought it was my brain that glitched, but a quick rewind proved that I am of sound mind... well, in regards to this anyways lol.

[@carleighstark8883]

now im wondering in my mind is sound because i see no glitch lol

[@Dottyluvsllamas]

So sad I missed this live but it turned out amazing. Lovin that jelly. So glad chaos Evan didn’t get too chaotic. The prank and tickle break was great.

[@rjs3493]

[@lanamello7445]

Evan's black hole almost looks like a supernova explosion after time! I think if Katelyn were changing her canvas with the butterfly perhaps she'd have more control over it? Because I think when going left to right your other hand was blocking it so maybe it made it harder to see? I dunno! The jellyfish looks sick! Really awesome!!

[@R31NDROP]

I can never miss these videos! Uncut videos are my favorite!!❤️

[@SoSkepticalFox]

Evan mentioned wanting to paint with flow acrylics, you guys should follow a Bob Ross tutorial but use flow acrylics !

[@randomname6425]

Even though this video is 2 years old i would like to thank you guys. Even with the minor chaos that occurs during the long videos you guys have really been helping me sleep. Even your chaos is calm enough that its very comforting to fall asleep to. As someone who has a really difficult time sleeping (especially with 2 wisdom teeth coming in) i sincerely thank you for existing and being wonderful people.

[@shinyriolu5879]

i actually love the texture on the jelly

[@fwogboy]

when they were fixing the jellyfish proportions it sounded like they were surgeons asking for different scalpels and tools XD

[@angelmarie2005]

The jellyfish is definitely my favorite but the only thing that really freaking bugged the crap out of me was the tentacles. I feel like you should have done another red one on the right side. It felt like the left side had more detail and the right was unfinished. But that's just my opinion. Besides that great job! I love It.

[@hazonku]

That was super great! I appreciate Evan's little tour of the new streaming setup too.

[@helzbetwinters9633]

I love seeing your videos when you have issues! In real life stuff happens and it's nice you guys don't edit everything out! I love your channel and all your videos! Awesome work!

[@kayseeewing3007]

I love the grid shadow on the wall. I think you should keep it that way.

[@nuckertix]

the first black hole actually turned out rly cool !!

[@LLC-zc7cp]

I think the proportions of the jelly fish were cool in the beginning because it looked like you were viewing it from a low angle! :)

[@ohshiditsgriff2793]

I love when Katelyn says "hey chat asks for the music to be turned off" Evan just says "yes!" no questions. Doesn't even need to know why. It just gives the impression that all he wants is to make things comfortable for everyone, which is nice

[@l.b.8779]

I didn't know you guys had done this already, but I had seen a chain pull paint tutorial recently (also from Designer Gemma 77) and immediately though you two would be perfect new testers!! I am late to the game, so I am happy you've already made this video.

[@HelioLhama]

"so we have 3 different sizes of beads and I don't know which one to use." Evan out of context 2021

[@KateCarew]

Evan “there’s a metal rod in there…” Katelyn “ugh, feel like that might mess it up” Evan “I don’t know? Might make it better!”

But they're too wholesome to even go there mentally. Lol.

[@Cloudscontent]

I don’t know if it’s a real window making that light behind you guys, but it looks great ! Even if it’s a light box with a windowpane filter on it, that’s more impressive 👍🏻👍🏻

[@EvanAndKatelyn2]

Thanks! Yup, it's actually an Aputure light in a spotlight mount with a GOBO :) Might be fun to mix it up sometimes and confuse people with how our window is changing haha

[@Cloudscontent]

@@EvanAndKatelyn2 very cool! And yes it would haha. Constantly remodeling the windows as one does!

[@1growheeromean]

Lay the chains down first and pull them all into the middle at once. That's what you're supposed to do for the butterfly

[@SaturdayTheIdiot]

Congratulations on 100k on this channel Y'all! Hope you reach the next milestone soon :D

[@EvanAndKatelyn2]

thank you!

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

Looking good, can't wait to see the dry results ☺️

[@sadieshoptaw5130]

love you two! the best duo ever! you guys make me so happy! thank you for everything!

[@tiago9977]

I love the art streams, especially since they usually have a *lot* ideas and are both pretty good at art (especially Katelyn ofc).

[@tiago9977]

With how much they enjoy these and like testing new things, I could definitely picture them doing a full stream of testing different art hacks and techniques w/ a load of their ideas.

[@tiago9977]

I know they only have limited time during streams like this, but I'm surprised they usually limit themselves to a canvas each. It feels like they have so many great ideas - it would be great to see them get to create a few more pieces, especially after they learn what works and what methods/ ideas they prefer.

[@kikibrowneyesl210]

I use a silicone. offset spatula for spreading the base paint. Much easier and a smoother result :) Love this video and Gemma is an awesome artist! :)

[@dinoduck425]

Oooooh! This looks awesome! I am much excite. Those puns are on point as always

[@controlsixtyfour]

this was such a fun stream! Thanks for doing it, I hope you do more streams like this! :D

[@hannahmaclean9309]

This was fantastic and UM THANKS FOR THE FREE HEADPHONES!!!

[@tiago9977]

The Jellyfish was my favourite - that's what I pictured when they said string/ chain pull art tbh. I kinda wish they had done more pieces like that (it was bigger and distributed the colours more but was also less stressful by the looks of things).

[@da5idt]

Love the new workshop! Congrats on getting it all set up!

[@Dane-vl6uo]

Finally after scrolling for two and a half hours, at peace watching great peopel doing beautiful things :)

[@tiffanyleraa9975]

[@MrTevew]

i really liked the jellyfish

[@ficmatagaea7813]

The jellyfish can be interpreted in two ways; a jellyfish and flowers attached to a small pot. But also, your videos have inspired so many creatures designs from me, such as a fisherman creature, a jellyfish puppeteer, a creature with the concept of tensegrity, geode samurai (tho samurai was from Jazza), a defense system using lenticular lens/frosted glass... I can't wait to see more videos and be more inspired! XDYou guys are my muse and source of info for anything.

[@ashleyguthrie572]

That jelly turned out super awesome!!

[@erichord4345]

the new setup is Amazing. Really enjoyed the stream.

[@lauranolastnamegiven3385]

you could also secure all your pens, with the leftover bead chains :)

[@feeterican]

And 2000's me wore one of these for a neckless. Though I wanted mine black so I used heat shrink and then took wire stripers to cut the heat shrink at each segment without cutting the metal underneath.

[@tiago9977]

I know they probably don't wanna spend a ton of paint and time on these streams, but I'm always surprised they don't have a dozen spare canvases tbh (especially w/ how many ideas they usually have).

[@sunnyscott4876]

You made what should have been a 30 minute video into a 1 hour and 45 minute video. That's the magic here.

i remember the first video of yours i watched. it was the underwater stream. and you've captivated me ever since. sweet butt jellyfish painting, btw.

[@arthybrids]

ever thought about doing the chain with resin ? might be interesting to see how much it changes. for the cables i would put them up on the ceiling so they don't get in the way of moving stuff around. Especially if they get in the way of moving heavier stuff they are a pain.

[@krn14242]

@8:10-10:29 instead of trying to spread evenly with knife have you tried picking up board and gently shaking back and forth evenly like you would to flour a pan before baking? Just thought you might get a more even coating... ?? just a thought. Great video guys...

[@Baseball4life124-r4p]

LOVE THE NEW GARAGE!! 🥰

[@3bean2012]

[@zackymyon]

9:30 , if this stream happened on the 26th of aug then yes, that day was mcc (minecraft championship) and usually more than 28 people streams it on twitch and more than 100 K people watches one stream, so its understandable if twitch is a bit laggy on the 26th, so look out for that day cuz the minecraft community is unstoppable :D

[@jessalynh.100]

I clicked on this video and because my screens broken I though it said it was 14 mins long and here I am 40 mins in thinking to myself "hm this kinda seems like a long 14 minuets" 😂

[@thecomplexion7524]

43:00 looks super cool to me like a vinyl record but the yellow blob on top looks like a singing/screaming face

[@stevebrown3159]

Try using a "Dollar Tree" comb to spread the white paint next time. (Dollar Tree = cheap) or a very small notch trowel. It makes it easier to keep the paint thickness even.

[@xpumpernickelx2260]

I love Microcenter 💕

[@laurad8883]

try a flatter tool for spreading the base layer of paint - like a frosting spatula/offset spatula

I love how one of the mugs in the background looks like a little demon with the red handle to what I can only assume is a pair of pliers sticking out of the top like little red horns.

[@janboll7174]

Ummm, use an old toothbrush for splatters of paint - works very well. Also, put a 4x8 piece of pegboard up (painted to match your garage walls) and get peg board hooks (also painted to match the peg board) so you can put up/take down any artwork/items as you wish without putting lots of holes in the walls or having to continually buy the command-style hooks. I did this in my front room years ago (the walls were cement - I was living in my parents' basement at the time) and I could change the pictures I took of my trip to England whenever I wanted something different.

[@hardypanchal]

In the jellyfish you should flip the piece around before you do the chainpulls and the yellow squiggles. I wish you thought of flipping the art piece at 56:40. Majority of your paint would have been closer to the head of your jellyfish and thin streak(less paint) as its tail

[@hardypanchal]

You even mentioned it that something about this is bothering you @1:12:55 😅 its because the tails flowing in the wrong direction, u wouldnt have needed to "connect it". But looks better after you did! 🎉

[@numerous_bees1070]

evan made a bad pun and i IMMEDIATELY got an add that just went “wooowwwww” in such a sarcastic way. i guess youtube doesn’t like the puns either.
