Hi everyone! I finally tried out gold paint! This project was so fun. I loved working on this video and I really hope you enjoy watching. :) Be sure to let me know what you think - and feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions for future art videos I could work on. Thank you so much for the awesome support! Hope you're having a great day! -Chris

Story: the crow, is happy today and he can make golden brown reeds.: i love how you did this lovely bird, it is my favourite of all. I have subscribed to you. And i love your work. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💚💚💚💚💚💛💛💛💛💛💛💜💜💜💜💜💓💓💓💓💟💟💟💟👍👍👍👍👍

[@airbjerk8413]

Awsome drawing as allways. Btw try the gold paint on black paper. Bet it gonna pop big time 😁

[@richardmeftah2569]

This is absolutely stunning Chris. It always amazes me how you can build up so much detail and texture in the feathers! Absolutely brilliant. 👍🏼

[@robzombieshot]

Awesome work but question, you have color changes on the crow, be it feathers or shadow or shadings but not on the leaves. Especially the solid ones. A touch of a darker and lighter versions of the golds would have put more movement to those solid ones. Nothing drastic but a touch where it looks like its bending or twisting?

[@g.allencook1051]

This is obviously the Crow who comes to sharpen his beak on a specific mountain once every thousand years. When the mountain is completely worn down--that's one second in whatever afterlife one might accept. Because the mountain would be rich with gold, the Crow's usual environment would be infused with it. I love these paints. They are the only ones I can get to actually digitize with the shimmer effect. (I use photography and a homemade light kit, not a scanner.) Great concept for the materials! Hope you are well, Christopher.

[@cwosaunt8072]

THE PAINTS LOOK SO COOL It’s crazy how metallic they still look after you apply them

[@LethalChris1]

They're so awesome! I definitely want to use them in future projects. :) Thank you for watching!

[@cakethimble]

@@LethalChris1 do blue from jurassic world Please

[@dawngeorge7921]

I'd love to see you use the gold paints for a dragons treasure.

[@LethalChris1]

Awesome idea!! :)

[@juanpanordo5375]

This crow drawing is so lovely!!!!also, you could draw a red panda with the same style as you have drawn in this youtube video.

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much, Juan. :) That's an awesome drawing suggestion. Red pandas are amazing.

[@Akabucket07]

Great painting I love how you drew the crow it gives of a wondrous vibe

[@JockScrapDraws]

Throughout this whole video, I just sat with my mouth open and at some parts almost teared up. This is so beautiful and amazing. You are such an inspiration and what an amazing artist. TY for sharing

[@NaomiCoutureArt]

This looks so beautiful, I think I have the same gold paints and never use them but they really make this piece pop!

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much!! :) I'm so glad I finally gave them a try. Really want to use them on more projects now!

[@pearlsanguine2060]

This is so beautiful. I love the crow but sitting him in amongst those leaves that look as though they've been burnished by the setting sun is just a total A game move!

[@rebeccaedmunson3459]

So pretty!!! 😍 The gold really elevates the artwork with the way it reflects, I love it!

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much, Becca!! :)

[@malinaulke610]

As someone who loves using golden paint themselves, I must say that your painting is amazing. Now I really think about what I can create with my paints at home. Thank you so much for inspiring me ☺️

[@jessicabeecher]

the gold paint looks gorgeous omg!! the artwork you made using the paint looks so stunning 💛💛💛 love it!

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much, Jessica!! :)

[@rydescho]

This was fantastic, the gold really was amazing to see in this artwork Lethal! 💯💯💯

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much!! :D

[@xboxgamertrev6763]

You never cease to amaze me your art is beautiful man

[@SharonNolfi]

I really enjoyed watching this! This is a lovely and very imaginative piece of work. I've never seen gold paint look so good on white paper.

[@TsukabuNosoratori2]

I love my FineTec paints too! I enjoy using them in galaxy paintings, or fancy dress drawings etc. They just add so much eye catching sparkle to a piece. Yours turned out great! Makes me think of a Crow that would be a familiar to a mage, or a mage that turns into a crow with a sort of 'extra' sight into a magical realm, which allows him/her to see spirits, or enemies before they attack a helpless child.

[@hummingbird828]

I love this piece! And I love working with metalics myself. I have a watercolour set with 8 different metalics gold silver but also pearl and alabaster. I love that sparkle an it makes the pieces even more special in my opinion. Great job!

[@spideyart2988]

You work with metallics also? You should start to post some of your work on KZbin! Then, us smalltime artists can follow eachothers work!

[@hummingbird828]

Hi spidy art. Yes I do live metalics and everything else that's shiny and sparkly. As fare as posting on KZbin goes I don't really have the knowledge or the means, at least not at the moment. Also I'm not very good with commitment but I do love seeing what other artist's get up to and draw inspiration from them.

[@catherineraper]

I love this gold set, it’s my favourite. I also like their vibrant colour set to. But they do take a long time to activate.

[@psychedelicrob5085]

The piece turned out really well. Great work Chris.

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much, Rob!

[@fuzzydragons]

the feathers on that bird are gorgeous! the gold is a really nice touch 😀

[@connerwilcox6369]

My brain can't comprehend how good you are at this. It's nothing short of spectacular.

[@drawmeo.]

Amazing work! I love the color combination, the golden leaves really pop out and you did a great job with the glowing effect of the crow's eyes!

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much for the support!! Can't wait to try these paints again! :D

[@coreartalex6708]

The crow is stand8ng on one of the Light Trees of Middle Earth! This tones of gold reminded me the time Thorin gave Smaug the Dragon a bath in Gold trying to kill him or also The Golden Dragon son of Beowulf that comes back to retrieve the golden horn, Aw so much possibilities!

[@YenDraws]

Oh! I love the richness of the gold pigments😍☺️❤️❤️ What a beautiful demo on this🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@10days4cows]

I was thinking you were the closest KZbinr I've been able to find that shares a similar multi media art mash up to my own and then you go confirm that buying get Fine Tec watercolours and saying Arabic Gold is your fav. Haha. I love the detail in the feathers!

[@ohusky271]

loved this idea. Id love to see the gold paint incorporated more!

[@pietrochemello7691]

Congratulations my man! Another truly amazing work, its worth mentioning that your video is also really beautiful and you really know how to make a good video for us. Wish you all the best, stay safe. Lots of love, Pietro.

[@penchin]

those brush strokes were satisfying to watch.

[@atseab]

That paint is great! You can also use it as “ink” with calligraphy nibs and get some extremely fine lines that are still opaque, even on black paper. It’s really quite striking. I wonder what one of your drawings would look like with super thin metallic highlights all over it… 🙂

[@silvyghostie_melo]

It’s absolutely stunning! It would look incredible as a print 🥺✨

[@recoveringsoul755]

From what I understand, the metallic paints don't really transfer to a print. Not sure how they would add gold to each piece to make it shine like that.

[@zhilongchen2352]

You’re such a nice person and also an awesome artist, keep it going! Love your art!

[@recoveringsoul755]

I like this brand of paints for gold, have my eye on them. Can you choose the colors? I think I'd want a gold, silver, copper, and need to have a shimmery white for snow or those diamonds on water, maybe a sort of transparent shine just to give a sheen to things that need it, hummingbirds, eyes of flies, dragonflies. Can you mix colors? Like if you wanted a blue-gold can you mix some blue with the gold you used to get a bluish gold or does it make mud? Hmmm. Now I'm wondering if you'll be using these for Inktober

[@silvaramajere]

This looks more like a raven to me (beak, tail, beard) however, absolutely awesome piece, the gold looks fantastic. They make other paints that just give a bit of iridescent sparkle that would have been awesome on the feathers for that blue/green sheen they have. Kuretake Opal paints, affordable, check them out!

[@Pinkstars1605]

Technically ravens and crows are of the same family group which is the corvus which includes ravens, crows and rooks.

[@imrielbissnette6366]

I don't think what's a crow versus what's a raven is standardized around the world?

[@catsatdusk6710]

Wow, very cool. Crows/ravens are my favourite bird, magpies too.

[@evesully6714]

Amazing ! This picture looks so beautiful. I've really enjoyed watching the video. You remembered me on my gold paints.

[@Esoterica910]

Amazing! Your art ALWAYS inspires me. Keep drawing (and painting) and I’ll keep watching!

Yup, inspires me too! That's why I'm YouTubing now!

That was so satisfying to watch. Really stunning artwork! ❤️

[@spideyart2988]

Yeah it really is! Also, I like your art page! Definitely going to subscribe!

[@jamester0772]

would love to see you try this with cutout masking tape. Gold paint looks awesome, I think it could really help getting some sharp edges. Or using it for more fine linework using a tiny brush or toothpick

[@AndreaMerchak]

Wow! This is so beautiful! I loved it!

[@Starlitskateboards]

They also have a pearlescent set!

[@DreambigGabriela]

I see I'm late, but let me tell you how much I LOVED this project. It turned out amazing. I wish you did one extra thing and that is add a thin rim around the moon. Maybe Moon Gold or silver. Or, I think I'd mix the two; maybe 3 parts moon gold and one part silver. What do you think, Chris?

[@tanjan.]

Der Rabe ist wunderschön… ✨ich bin auch, an einem Bild mit einem Raben ,am malen und kann mir ,wie immer viel Inspiration von dir holen. Auch habe ich die Goldpigment Farben gar nicht gekannt , ja und sie sind ,sogar hier in Deutschland hergestellt. Haben wir natürlich gleich welche bestellt, als ich sie bei dir gesehen habe. Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße✨💓

[@amybaker5241]

This came pretty cool looking I think I would have used a more watered down version of the sterling silver instead of the white gel pen or pencil, keep up the beautiful art.

[@emvitt]

You always make amazing art. It's very beautiful. ❤️

[@piplup10203854]

Woah these are so pretty! I love the different tints and shades here, might have to get these myself! I have a perle x powder in this color and an ink but I can always use more :D

[@GracefullyArtistic01]

This is absolutely beautiful! Wonderful job!

[@AthanKaiAltair]

would you consider doing a piece of art based on Kintsugi (the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold - built on the idea that in embracing flaws and imperfections) that was the first thing I thought of when I saw the palette of gold paints (and sterling silver).
