Now I wanna see a joob painting that with uv light turns her into Cheshire to go with Alice!

[@rhoffman222]

Lol I just commented a similar comment. I said she should've made Alice turn into the Cheshire Cat but I do like your idea. She should've turned herself into Alice though and Joob into Cheshire and Evan into Mad Hatter.

[@LadyLuck363]

@RheannaBanana I love that! One of all three to make a cute/spooky character of them in wonderland. One drink me one eat me and Alice with were all mad here!

[@izzyclaire5980]

yes! Yes!!!

OMFG YES

CHESHIRE JOOBIE

[@gracelewandowski814]

I have the photo chromatic powder and a heat sensitive powder (I mixed into white/clear paint) and I made a magic wand using them! It looks like a plain white wand, but as you hold it the area where your hand is warms up and turns one color blue and then when you get it in the sun the rest of the wand reveals swirls and stars and stuff in another color blue/green! It's so fun and magical! I have it in what usually is an incense box but works perfectly as a wand box and if you open it on a warm sunny day it's *chef kiss*

[@EvanandKatelynUncut]

so cool!

[@TheLoveMiku]

I want to see it!

[@gracelewandowski814]

@@EvanandKatelynUncut Oh! And the wand was super easy, just a chopstick, marble or bead and bead cap to make the end fancy and hot glue to make a thicker hand holding area. Then paint on top. Seems like it could be a fun project for you guys to try too!

[@jasmint3207]

She put a video of the wand up on her channel :)

These are hands down my favorite type of streams. Relaxed, mildly chaotic but unstressful crafting 😄

a hotdog painting with “suddenly mustard” would be awesome.

[@ai_ra_times]

I second this.

[@verica4b]

Just ✨YES✨

[@laurawhitehouse7946]

However, the daylight painting would likely be a hotdog with white sauce on it.. 🤔 not that type of channel 😂😂

[@izzyclaire5980]

@@laurawhitehouse7946 😳yea probably not the best design idea unless its clear to yellow

[@aleshiamcintosh3575]

I like how the sand on Evans painting creates a dimensional illusion where the sand goes from light to dark kinda looks like a cliff or steep edge down into the ocean.

[@prettylikethemoon]

I love that the white glow pigment is actually labeled Neurtal white, idk why that amuses me so much but I can’t stop saying neurtal and giggling

[@rionka]

Lol me too 😂

[@ruggedlyhandsome744]

Sand paints, a.k.a. textured paints, have been around for decades. I refurbished a Victorian home in Southern Indiana and painted the entire interior of the home with sandy textured paint. The walls were plaster, so it gave it a very warm, comfy feel that blended well with the style of the home. Works really well with a Tuscan design too.

[@lillil6696]

It would be so cool if you would slo-mo the mixing of the UV pigments! I bet that would look amazing!

[@EvanandKatelynUncut]

OMG that would be amazing, we'll try to do that if we mix more pigments!

[@suika666]

I think that the satisfaction of those visuals would be surprisingly high, kinda like those stock videos of swirling powders and liquids.

Katelyn's picture goes from disney style to creepypasta. I love it

[@avidbingereader]

Absolutely wild that I was watching the original DIY paint stream from 2 years ago just yesterday or the day before and then we get gifted with this 4+ hour stream! Love the uncut as always!

[@catlover1.o22]

I wanna see a joobie painting but when you shine the uv light on it her eyes will glow and then behind her is a portal to the cat dimension

[@katrinafrench4040]

Hello, I'm an artist who uses glow pigments in just about everything I make, and what I've found is Martha Stewart glow in the dark finish is the BEST. It will glow bright in indirect light and gets super charged under UV.

[@roke7874]

The glowing hair on Alice look really cool now I am wondering how it would look like on a drawing of Rapunzel 🤔

[@suika666]

Just a canvas full of hair with a tiny little person popping out of the middle like 'help', lol. I actually kinda wanna see a little painting like that now

[@mgooding8]

I love putting these streams on while crafting!! I’ve been making and firing silver pendants and rings this time!

[@NickCombs]

One trick I use for those tin twist-on lids if I think it needs to store for a while: add plastic wrap between so that it forms a sort of gasket when the lid twists on. The plastic will get a bit torn torn up, but that's ok.

I know the blue paint was dry and crusty, but the jar is really pretty that way. Will you be tossing the dried out jars or washing and reusing them?

[@studioalsar]

Thanks for sharing this on the community posts, so fun to paint while you paint ❤

[@rionka]

Same ❤

[@FIZZGIG-RARF]

I've actually been using solar and heat-changing pigments, as well as glow-in-the-dark and black light pigments to make my paintings so that they're multiple paintings in one. It's been really fun! 😊

[@patrickcanter2831]

You guys are such a great couple and so much fun.

[@suika666]

You guys should use acrylic to mix paint on. It's so much easier to mix, and you don't find yourself losing paint as you mix it either. You could even use resin to make a custom mixing palette~♪

[@auntieescreations4309]

You guys should make frames that have LED black lights around the edges so that you can turn them on and off and it'll glow from all sides and should be pretty even across the whole thing

[@elyssamaddox]

Hi I just wanted to say thank you so much for creating this content It has made my life so much more enjoyable when you upload a video thank you so much for using your content for something great and inspiring people to do what they are scared to do I watch all of your videos every time you upload them I loved finally being able to watch the completely resin keyboard it was so amazing to see all of these ideas come to life thank you so much for being my inspiration❤️

thank you for the kind words!

[@AR463]

Lol! Katelyn, you were cracking me up. Should I do this or that? I could do this, or that....Evan says - how bout this? You say, yeah, I could, but then this. He was being so patient with your indecision. I can be so much like this too, that's why it was making me laugh....also, I 100% feel you on- I like this art I made so much, I don't want to ruin it now!!! What you both made looks beautiful. Great job, as always. And thanks for the laugh. 😂💙

Can y’all try out Silver Art Clay?? I want to see the cool stuff you guys make with it! I need more inspo!!

Sand paint was used a lot when I was just starting school, you’d do cross stitch, sand paint, water marbling stuff with paper dips and making rubber stamps for ink

[@patsyfras]

So fantastic, both of of them! And this whole stream was an example of why you need to trust the process... because honestly for the first part I really wondered what you'd end up with. So impressed! 🎉

I can't wait till you try these pigments in resin.

[@lori7366]

Sand paint has been around for many many many years. Have been an art teacher for 27 years. I have bought it along with many other wonderful mixing mediums forever I've made all kinds of Saint paints and others my favorite is round tiny pebbles from the beach mixing green paint and you have natural-looking Moss to paint on panoramas. Liquitex has wonderful mixing medium products check them out. All kinds of mediums to look textured like all natural materials. Various kinds of snow and ice. You can mix spices etc into paint and get amazing textures.

I've been working on this video for a week!! 🙉 Finally finished watching. Love both of them 💛💜

[@gaby5979]

I loved the painting the roses red idea with white flowers and then the switch making them red ❤

[@ChibiChula]

Those both turned out great! 😍 You've both gotten much better with actually using your DIY paints. 😁👍 I do want to suggest to Katelyn that if she's going to mix a lot of a custom color for a background, like in her painting this time, to mix it in a little airtight paint pot (or at least a wet pallet with a lid) so you can seal it up when done and keep any leftover paint for patches and/or repair work while creating. Would have saved a bunch of remixing time. 😅 I was actually kinda hoping you'd do the quote in the Nueral White and then borrow Evan's "blood" glow paint to do the word "mad" and maybe also some on the tip of "Malice's" nails too but then I thought it wouldn't show up as well on the glowing background and was glad of the choice made, lol. BTW, did you know that the brand Let's Resin came out with a container mold that actually looks like a giant D&D dice? You might want to get one (or more) and possibly use it to make a storage container (or several) for your dice collection. It's really cool! 😎

[@emmemcginnis135]

I think the waves but with glow paint in-between layers of resin would look awesome

[@JayofallTrades]

Mixing sand with paint and modpodge makes a foux diy pottery texture for anything

[@blaqkkitten1]

I think it would be so cool to take these paints and apply them to every day items. It could even be useful to signal to someone this way are being exposed to UV outside. What if you carried a water bottle that changed color depending on the intensity of the UV rays? That would be so cool and useful! All this assuming UV light you used in the video is similar to the harmful UV rays of the sun.

[@izzyclaire5980]

Omg this Is adorable. The look on your faces when the paint turned yellow, like two kids on Christmas. Love y’all, I love painting, I love this stream. Thank you ❤️

[@deni9626]

I used Sand many times., first mixed with glue, also with paint, I had really heavy cliffs and cracked land, using regular beach sand. The best way was a layer of primer or paint then sprinkle on the sand where you want it, let dry and repeat., paint on top or matt varnish.

[@neosunrider]

...Two hours in before I realize how long this is...I just wanted and love to watch you both... :3 Onward for the rest!

[@anima6583]

where did you buy the glow pigments? usually when I look for it I can only find the tiny nail art containers, also would you maybe try color change (changes color in heat or UV light) pigments in any of your projects?

[@TheLoveMiku]

I want to know too!

[@KJ7JHN]

I was in Belleview Square and saw a cityscape and sunset painting using these. They were bottom lit. So cool.

[@janboll7174]

After hearing about Fortnite, I decided to check it out - ended up removing it as it's a fighting type game. If I had enough memory, I'd love to play Minecraft - esp. the newer version. I like the crafting type of games (unless I play match-3, or hidden object types). I get my 'fighting fix' watching you guys play them (when there's building things also involved). // You're my go-to for what is called ASMR (but I call W+R - watch and relax). // Worm? Nah, don't see it. I thought, when you started Alice, that the background should be first (doesn't Bob Ross do the furthest scenery first?) - that's what I do when I do my Adult Coloring pages or any paint-by-number that has a definite background to the main item(s). Kaitlyn was a 'graphic artist?' so she knew how to do art, but, Evan, did the Bob Ross tutorials help you to do 'realistic' paintings? Like this ocean/beach one? The Cheshire Cat is solid but when he disappears, his smile and eyes are the last thing to go. Some of his smiles are just square teeth but the best are pointy teeth - usually his eyes are shown. // I'm still waiting for Alice's eyebrows - yellow to match her hair (black makes it look like she dyed her hair yellow and forgot her eyebrows). // I still have my old 'Fireball XL5' pencil case from grade school. Wonder if it's worth anything (if I could find it, that is).

[@deathxsharpee2260]

Loved seeing the setup at this time. Thanks you two

[@reanaalyn1039]

After seeing Kaitlyn’s painting I reallly feel like they should play Fran bow!!!

[@judevicious3333]

I would have loved to see when Evan was doing the white on the waves, if he did the glow paint with liquitex so it would get that bubble like appearance where the white tapers to the ocean colors. Could you imagine that glow? 😍

[@judevicious3333]

Also if you did splatters of the blue glow that would be invisible otherwise, you could get a nice moonstone beach setting 😲

A tip to prevent paint patches from drying up is to put cold, wet napkin down, then baking paper, then paint :)

[@thevirtualtraveler]

I made sand paint once. I painted the walls of my son's room to look like the turrets of a castle made of sandstone, and I mixed sand into the paint to give the sandstone texture.

[@janiexoxo]

Mixing sand with paint is a terrain trick for miniatures and dioramas. Have you guys thought of doing a diorama-off or something?

[@chaosbean6320]

If yall want super vibrant glow in the dark pigments, id suggest trying out the stuff from culturehustle

[@bobbityjack]

Both pieces are so great! Definitely worth the extra time and thought ♥

[@imKimberlyRacin]

Because Ev drops so much stuff, you should do a resin floor with a hidden cat fairground.

[@shanyasyag]

For the sand paint using thick paint base is better , artists mostly use texture or modelling paste and then add sand like grains to make sand texture on paintings

[@Liastnir]

That Alice piece is E P I C

[@Sarah.ann.]

Thank you for this 🙏

[@b.c.9358]

You should make watercolors instead of acrylics, then when it dries out you can reactivate it. Swatch on white and black paint to evaluate opacity. I make my own calligraphy inks so I swatch them a bunch.

[@LKLM138]

You can mix sand to epoxy coating, when making garage floors etc. pains to clean, but good grip.

[@necrokittie2291]

boaters use sand with paint all the time. they will lay down a fresh wet layer of epoxy paint, then pour dry sand all over it. once cured, they push broom and or vacuum the excess sand up and then they put another coat of epoxy down. it makes an anti-skid surface so they don't slide off their wet boats, very important for sailors in motion who need to adjust something outside of the cockpit. also if they used clear epoxy they usually do more then 1 layer so it doesn't look splotchy. i decided if i ever needed that myself i'd use glow in the dark sand.

[@donnahanna10565]

You two are so entertaining even when you're just painting. It's really interesting watching your concepts come to life, and then when you run into issues, how you work to solve them. That's going to help me when I'm doing things. To be patient and trust the process. Your instincts are dead on both of you because both of your paintings are beautiful. I would love to see prints for sale because I would buy both. They're remind me of the paintings in the haunted Mansion when you're going to the hallway before you get on the Doom buggies. like Disneyland when you go through the Haunted Mansion hallway and they show those pretty pictures that change with the lightning frightening . I love those and I think beautiful yours are both creepy and Beautiful. The we're all mad here during the day it kind of looks almost like a design. You can't really quite read it but then the UV lights it up and it all comes together. Evan, I love sharks and they need to eat too. Your boat is a bit foreboding because it's empty and there's sharks all around. And when you were going to change the light sand, I was thinking oh no." But I stand corrected that blending of the middle color made it perfect. You are the only creators that I can watch an entire stream even if it's 5 6 7 hours. I don't care. I'll sit there and watch it. I love it.❤❤❤ by the way, Kaitlin, if you ever find that you need to organize something, I will send you my address . You're welcome to come over anytime and just go nuts ;-)

[@ruggedlyhandsome744]

When you have a paint that's dried out, you can try adding an airbrush leveling/thinning agent. (Mr. Color products work best for me) Mix it in conservatively until you get a desired consistency. Your mixing machine will help tremendously with this process. Hope that helps! 👍

[@ruggedlyhandsome744]

You might even want to add it into a different container, small glass bottles..or plastic bottles are fine, just find an appropriate size for what you're mixing.

[@suika666]

Is airbrush thinning agent like paint thinner for airbrush-specific paint?
