Testing Viral DIY Magnetic Paint

[@EvanAndKatelyn2]

We sadly do not sell danger magnets at shopevanandkatelyn.com ... but we DO have some sweet new Joob themed sticker sheets

[@zachariahboss]

I would really love to see this with resin. I think resin would flow better and take the "fluid" shapes more easily, and with UV resin you wouldn't have the trouble of drying/setting time. Love the content!

[@saraihamisi5068]

hi

[@EvanAndKatelyn2]

@@zachariahboss That would be fun! We could also try just doing the resin and iron powder and then brush on the mica after. That seemed to work pretty well

[@zachariahboss]

@@EvanAndKatelyn2 Yeah for sure! I just think the resin would look more like the ferrofluid, while the paint was a lot more feathery due to its thickness - either way resin offers a lot of opportunities

[@RescueGirl]

There was a band called Monster Magnet in the 90's. 😆

[@Whippeful]

For the debate at 25:49 - the nail polish is dry, but it has to be gel/other type of "sticky" nail polish for the powder to stick to it. Like if you run your finger on the nail's surface, it has to feel clean, dry, but a lil bit plastic-like sticky, so the surface doesn't just allow the powder to slide off.

[@lannaelizabeth7369]

Not sure if you guys will see this but I just wanted to thank you guys. My fiance died just over a month ago leaving me and our 2 year old daughter in a very precarious position but your videos have been a really great distraction from the stress and pain of it all. So thank you for doing what you do. ❤

[@stephanierae2512]

Both of my parents just died last week. I'm 35 years old sitting here watching magnetic painting but, when I read your comment it touch my heart. I hope you're doing better..

[@TheyluvCourtney]

I'm very sorry for you guys loss

[@eleanorbateman4317]

OOOOO the ring magnet could be good as maybe a "meteor if death" scene! Like, paint a canvas to look like a planet and then do red, orange, yellow and black spikes to show an explosion, with maybe a resin meteor in the center where there's no filings!

[@mookinbabysealfurmittens]

Cool!

[@m.thompson3919]

I bet they would have fun making miniature terrariums in general like that. 🤔

[@mookinbabysealfurmittens]

@@m.thompson3919 OoOoO lil diorama out of those small deco greenhouse things. (Glass & brass, usually size of like a lantern or maybe wide enough for 3 small potted plants, if the one from Ikea.)

[@avadax2926]

I had to pause to CACKLE with the “recreation in PAINT” screenshot joke. LMAOOOO

[@naomilangevin3944]

I think seeing some quite a bit thinner could've been cool. I've seen magnetic nail polish and it's thin, but it makes really cool looking lines. So maybe thin on the background with the cool line effects. And then you just do a medium thick mixture just on top of the magnet. That would look very cool I think.

[@AndiNewtonian]

Yeah, I was really hoping they'd do some with really thin paint. Even when they did it "thinner", it was still pretty thick.

[@ta985]

You created the MOST beautiful take on the old windows logo! I dig it! 💚💚 It's even framed in black to emphasize the mourning over the colors it lost along the way. It's ordered wrong tho 🤣 I really love how this experiment has turned out! Would be interesting to see what else you could cook up with this.

[@rionka]

Hahaha exactly 😂 that was what I was thinking!

[@buizcuitchomper6921]

The neon and black magnet painting kinda looks like a volcano? What if you added resin inside to look like lava to make it look more volcano-y? 🤔 Also loved the video as always! ❤ Just thought of another idea- the magnet affect kinda looks like fur so what if you make a 3D Jooby painting using the same effect!? 😮 😄

[@hondoklaatu1904]

A volcano is great idea! Maybe do it on something clear and add led light behind the lava part.

[@buizcuitchomper6921]

@@hondoklaatu1904 I also thought of that! I just wasn't sure how they would add the led lights or if it would fit?

[@lildreamertina]

I was thinking like OOooo if you do the ring one, let it dry, then do a center one, You could make 3D looking flowers!!! And do like two a canvas, (4 dry times) , but yeah! I love this I watched the live stream when you posted it here and I love the edit!

[@Goatings]

Have you guys thought about painting with fire? Steven spazuk is famous for standing under his canvas and using the candle soot to create images, and the flames that putter over the canvas are mesmerizing, i think it might be a dangerous but fun activity for the chaos inside of evan!

[@christianjohan1484]

pigment fixer would probably work, it's used in miniatur painting to lock pigment, so it still looks like dust, but can't be removed

[@scubajho]

That or a fixative like used for charcoal and the like. It's basically hairspray, but it's pretty effective and still workable, which could be handy, depending on the application.

[@silver_etch]

I swear you guys have the best sponsor videos of anyone on KZbin. I actually LOOK FORWARD TO THAT SECTION OF THE VIDEO. I have never skipped a single one because they're always HILARIOUS!

[@matchastarcandy]

What Evan suggested for the dry-brushing of the duochrome was actually sort of what I was thinking from watching Cristine on Simplynailogical when she's painted her nails using chrome powder! I feel like this sort of magnetic painting is something Nigel (specifically his NileBlue channel) might have fun trying out 😊 The final art came out really cool and the texture seems really fun to paint with~

[@Froggy_Bee]

EVERYONE WAKE UP!! Evan and Katelyn have posted!!

[@voetenlikkerijnl2222]

[@Aryaicorn]

I got notification in my dreams no worries

[@bmelloyello]

Halfway through the vid, you should clip the painting upside down so it's not fighting gravity. Also, look into making an electromagnet so you can play with the size of the field with an adjustable knob. Great video!

[@ez8314]

I personally love to dust pigment on my paintings and stuff with a little tea strainer ☺️ its pretty even and fine

[@SAmaryllis]

The varnish was such a good choice! Really brought out the dry brushed sparkliness

[@sirjokes]

I feel like this would be a really cool way of flocking miniatures and terrain pieces!

[@waterunderthebridge7950]

For anyone actually wondering, the size and distribution of the spikes follow the magnetic field lines (which are densest at the poles and go towards the opposite pole)

[@DocNyrlathotep]

That's a pretty cool effect! When you guys moved the lighting around to showcase the dual chrome pigment better, all I could think off is that a frame that integrates a moving light source could be really cool for this project also. I think it would be pretty cool having something like that both to get the full range of colors while also casting shadows that accentuates the forms you guys achieved with the technique.

[@ManuFortis]

The result on that wood piece looks kind of like what happens to images after i put them through my set of filters and settings in GIMP. Neat.

[@SophieWestwood-jt8fd]

Be cool to do something similar but in clear resin, the iron filings would be permanently fixed in those shapes! Love your videos xx

[@CarsonSmash]

I believe any iron filings would separate from any resin once applied to the magnet. My thoughts are based off of how magnetic/"cat eye" gel nail polish behaves. I'm sure ratios and timing could change that. Can't wait to see y'all try it!

[@d.sadster5684]

They look like craters of very glittery planets! Love it!!

[@thomasegeberg]

You guys are my favorite KZbinr. two minutes two minutes away I really did it. I tried to do it in under five minutes to watch one of your guys videos.🎉

[@Moonguided]

This would make an amazing detail for a diorama set! I'd love to see you guys do a cool diorama with some of the stuff you've learned/cool art methods!

[@littleemochick13]

These came out so gorgeous! The final piece and the way you put them together reminds me of the 4 seasons with the light green being spring, dark green as summer, blue/purple as winter, and the pink/orange for fall

[@MrBwian]

@EvanAndKatelyn2 try using glass petri dishes, use PVA glue, put your pigments in, trial with adding different amounts of water, use a heat gun to set the pva glue when you get a good pattern 👍

[@bingonight1504]

I really didn't think this one was gonna look good but the finished product came out quite nice!! You guys are so talented

[@Ecliptical84]

ferrofluid is one of my favorite materials to watch. i never wouldve thought it could be used for art!!

[@MauMik]

YOu really should use a breathing mask if you are working with metal powders. Your lungs are really not that keen on metal dust, I think.

[@edwardpaulsen1074]

OSHA recommendations for Alumina powders like those glitters is 10mg/cubic meter constant, over an 8 hour span... so maybe if they blew an entire canister into the air and kept it airborne and sat in there breathing it for 8 hours straight, THEN they might be worried about hitting a limit... but they are coming nowhere near ANY of those thresholds, either in volume or breathing in suspended glitter... so maybe ratchet down the panic a little bit... not to mention they are not doing this every day or even every week. Maybe if they were snorting it out of the bottle or sucking in a big gasp from a cloud of glitter... but otherwise? Maybe this type of crafting is not for everyone.

[@hiero-green]

@@edwardpaulsen1074There’s no need to have an attitude with someone calmly raising a concern over airborne particles. You could have just said, “with the amounts they’re using, especially on a once-off like this, they’re probably fine without masks” without getting snippy with them

[@edwardpaulsen1074]

@@hiero-green Evan and Katelyn are often using their PAPR masks when the circumstances require them. I gave the full explanation because the armchair "panic stricken" rarely listen to simple explanations when they are in these cautionary modes. I am very sorry for you that you felt the response was "snippy" and yet wonder that you do not think your own unsolicited condescension was every bit as snippy... My "attitude" is not the problem, your policing is... Your admonition holds exactly zero sway over me and strongly elicits an unnecessary escalation. Therefore, in the interests of polite communications, I shall suggest that you relax and have a nice cup of your favorite beverage, have a wonderful day, and kindly keep your nose upon your own face.

There is something about this video in particular that has made me realize how much I love you guys editing on your videos!

[@tsalVlog]

I loved the uncut stream of this one so much I'm re-watching the cut version!

[@purplevxakanitzan9548]

These are so cool! I think you could use this technique to make really nice floral pieces - I'm imagining green background and then making a ring of yellow magnetic paint and painting the center of it black to make a sunflower 🌻 or maybe you could paint the background to look like a Lily pad and make a pink flower in the middle, like a lotus

[@aicirtkciub9167]

Wow the duo chrome one is stunning!!

[@Firefly1127]

Honestly, the finished product looks like the seasons! The lighter green is spring, the darker green summer, then autumn and winter! It looks so good!

[@marinalodi6313]

you could put LED light on the frame, just on one side, so they r shiny all the time :3

[@Erhannis]

Good idea - maybe they could do different LED colors on different sides, to cast different shadows?

[@katerinaneprasova2939]

I could not watch the stream till the end and this is the first time I see how the project turned out and honestly, it looks amazing

[@keltronn]

I lost my boy that looked just like Jooby recently so the Joob moments are even more wonderful now.

[@Mspromises]

What I like about this is, we're just focused and engaged on the process, making things work.

[@trinitycondren8267]

Video idea: do this idea on a bigger scale in the ocean blue color. Then make it a scene that looks like a meteor just crashed into the ocean. With boats flipping over pieces all over the water. And of course, put some nice shiny resin on top to add that nice glossy ocean look

[@rionka]

I'm afraid that these fuzzies wouldn't be long enough to make enough drama on the big scale 😢

[@Pelfri0]

This would be a great idea!!

[@landonkryger]

As evident by your closing shot, I think you need to upgrade the frame with a moving light source. Just add a strip of addressable LED around the border pointing in and slowly change which side is on/off.

[@ShroomCat553]

[@nocturnalizzie]

I'd love to see you guys use magnetic polishes to do art with! Not necessarily on nails, just using magnetic polishes as a type of awesome paint. Gel polishes would give you more time to work with them and probably stronger magnetic effects. Don't let gels touch your skin, though!

[@GetToKnowNature]

These are SO COOL! They're one of my favorite things you've made. If Sharon was still here she would have rushed to try this out

[@stephanieneal5942]

Have you guys ever used magnetic nail polish before? That could be fun to experiment with!

[@Pashisoswi]

I wish they divided a canvas into four and added each paint they used per quadrant then played with it with the magnet. Mix them or something 😊😊 I wonder how that wouldve turned out. (I hope you get what I mean, english isnt my first language sorry)

[@jaylee5905]

Love the final copper colored one!!

Oh my goodness, the final result is beautiful ❤

[@carmenarnoni5760]

Do you remember those mood ring dyes? It would look amazing if you did some art with the dye, like the magnet paint, or a magical Joob that changes color! for instance, if the place the painting is at get warmer or colder, it will change its appearance!!

I’m literally only a minute in and HAVE to shout out whoever edited this. I’m CRACKING UP. Hats off to you, editor, banger job 🙌🏻

[@vantelljlaroche]

16:56 painting a flower with magnets would be so cool

[@zsaiya]

Idk if this is the case, but from what i know, shimmer pigments and color shifting pigments show up best in a spotlight or sunlight. I think maybe because youre both diluting the color in the mixture and trying to observe it under diffused filming lights, the duopigments dont show up as well. In powder form, its so concentrated you would see it in most lightings, but when mixed in and diluted, it probably doesnt show up as well unless under color favorable lights. It may partially also be why you could see it better when shining the flashlight over the canvas For the future you could definitely try bringing it out into the sun or using a phone flashlight to observe the colors before adding more pigment c: love yall keep up the good work

[@michaelmaguire4147]

[@CrzzyCat]

I first read it as magnetic resin, and got excited. Then I re-read it and figured out it was paint, still was excited. Then I remembered i watched the recording from the stream, and, you guessed it, still excited to watch it!!

[@rionka]

exactly haha

[@Dreamheart101]

...now I want to see them make magnetic resin.

[@Heartwing37]

I may have missed it, but if you haven’t done it, you guys should try metal pigments in resin with a magnet on the other side of the mold. It makes really cool 3-D halos! I did a pretty cool millennium falcon in resin with a couple of 3-D halos behind it. Came out really awesome! Edit: yeah, you just mentioned doing it and resin, but I don’t know if you ever did

[@R_Squared933]

I would love to see you guys try this with resin and see what happens. Imagine bottom lighting from underneath.

[@MartellaNutella]

It would be super cool to use the circle ones and have them look like irises! They remind me of close up eyeball photos

[@BobzeMovie]

Evan and katelyn 2's editing is the funniest out of the channels, already laughing hard at the medium joke

[@Sembazuru]

Another thought... Use a shadow box frame to keep dust off while it is on the wall. Maybe (still not sold on this idea yet) put LEDs on the inside of the shadow box to provide lighting at an oblique angle to help show the texture while on a wall.

[@slightlydistressedslug6627]

I love that the final product looks like copper with varying degrees of rust :)

[@johnhavel7685]

I’d be interested to see how it ages like if the iron dust rusts and makes some cell like rust spots especially on the bluish teal colors. That could look pretty cool.

[@hgrunner8327]

Ahhh its 12am rn im so tired but must watch

[@fireflower12]

when you added the blush to the piece being vibrated i damn near coughed myself to death laughing oh my GOD katelyn

[@zebra486]

missed opportunity to add LEDs inside the frame that could change the shadows around them, would be such a cool experience (i write this with no knowledge if this ever was done)

[@fiveamskatesesh]

My favorite piece so far omg so pretty

[@darkguardian011]

Katelyn's cropped hoodie is a vibe

[@thetinker]

Perhaps something like a flour duster/sifter would be helpful for evenly sprinkling the powder pigments.

[@emmemcginnis135]

The duochrome one would look cool airbrushed on once the magnetic medium has dried

[@joanasantos1651]

i love itttt! Always though it was kinda hard to get some good spikes of it, but im just in looooove with the expensive pigment one!!!!!!

[@trumanrobertson4126]

The final artworks colors remind me of ATLA. Such a fun video!

[@TheCreativeWill]

If you do a round 2 I'd try doing one magnetic base color raising the background paint with the magnet then do a different magnetic paint color for the center "magnetic flower". A blue base with a bright colored center bit would give a cool alien flora vibe.

[@michaelmaguire4147]

oh, the magnetic field really do be just curvin out the sides like in the drawings, neat. I've only ever seen people use stuff like those magnetic field viewing lenses from the front.

[@amandagermany5933]

That would be fun to mix the iron filings into pour paint and do random texture in an acrylic pour.

[@vodiak]

If there's enough iron in the paint to make it conductive, you might be able to apply powders electrostatically like is done for powder coating.

[@Sweetnlow19811]

It would be really pretty to paint flower petals then use the magnetic paint for a 3d center. I may need to try this one day 😊

[@EliotHochberg]

I could see using the more subtle technique on the paint to either have a monochrome canvas and then you draw with the magnet from the back to create a very subtle design or image with spikes, or, doing the same thing but with the intent of painting on top of it with regular thinner paint, so you could create textures for grass like you mentioned, or stone or what have you.

[@Lavender_grass]

Could you use a can of compressed air to get rid of any excess powder before the lacquer? To give a sharper shape

[@moonbasket]

Such fun and imaginative use of magnets.
