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

[@fnafplushystudiosgaming127]

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

[@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 😂

[@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!!

[@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

[@maryjohnson5776]

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.

[@mochalemonlove8261]

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

[@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!

[@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. ❤️️

[@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

[@SharonRaeRyan]

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

[@rjs3493]

Doing the important work of advocating for realistic butterfly beauty standards 😌

[@SoSkepticalFox]

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

[@fwogboy]

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

[@amilena_wyamesart]

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

[@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

[@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 😂

[@shinyriolu5879]

i actually love the texture on the jelly

[@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

[@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.

[@tiago9977]

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

[@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!!

[@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

[@stephencloud6074]

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

[@stephencloud6074]

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

[@a._.nonymous]

Katelyn can you give us a makeup tutorial? I love the way you do it!

[@raynebowlocket]

Seconded

[@HelioLhama]

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

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!”

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.

[@kayseeewing3007]

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

[@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.

[@R31NDROP]

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

[@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! :)

[@nathalie6185]

The CC keeps saying "shameful art" and its making me giggle.

[@lauranolastnamegiven3385]

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

[@nuckertix]

the first black hole actually turned out rly cool !!

[@just4craftsngiggles454]

When he fixed that red tentacles and you got nervous I was so glad he did that it needed 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!

[@KateCarew]

I really appreciate how not wasteful they are 🙏🏻

[@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).

[@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! :)

[@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.

[@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.

[@SaturdayTheIdiot]

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

[@MauricioLeite]

[@da5idt]

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

[@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.

[@dinoduck425]

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

[@h7opolo]

[@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.

[@laurad8883]

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

the new setup is Amazing. Really enjoyed the stream.

[@MrTevew]

i really liked the jellyfish

[@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.

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
