it's crazy mine's curly okay hello I
found a tick-tock the other day I'm sure
many of you have seen about a guy who
made some crappy painting and no offense
no he's headless crappy on ebay to see
how many bits he did on it and he ended
up selling it for $18,000 like and this
boy wasn't like it wasn't we wanted to
test it and see if we could do the same
thing so basically how I was gonna work
is me
Brooklyn ASA and Cameron hello they are
all going to paint individual paintings
and use our own strategies to post them
on eBay and then at the end of the week
whoever has the biggest bid on their
painting wins - what so ever new we're
gonna start painting right now and show
you what we're doing is it wanted to
clarify some of the proceeds that we get
if we do end up selling these paintings
we will donate things so we're not
conning people for those of you who are
like it's just fun it seems so fun but
I'm worried that like we're gonna get
through all of this and not a single one
of us is gonna have a bid I'm just going
as abstract as you can possibly be but
I'm trying to pull in colors that kind
of complement each other
we'll see no I've been doing the little
teensy bit of research and I've decided
that like something that a lot of people
are passionate about right now is
something to do it like we're all the
same people and like we're all together
and I have like an idea in my head of
how I want the painting to look but it
might just look tear I'm about to start
and I have no idea
strategy is not having a strategy
artists sometimes just go for it you
know
do you really thing like van Gogh had a
strategy just saying I'm just gonna do
whatever I want and maybe throwing some
art techniques from like fifth grade and
call it a day hopefully I would I have
discovered that number one oil paints
are a lot harder to use than you would
think and number two the power of a
sponge do I know where I'm going from
here no ok so already gotten started
I can't you tell it's a masterpiece you
can see where my drawing handprints are
that I'm gonna fill in with color I'm
gonna have to cover some of these brown
spots that I have on my hand from the
brown paint with white again but you can
see like I've got the hands to begin my
art so now I just have to color them
different colors I'm very excited it
looks good so far I'm proud of myself
all right so I think I kind of got a
little thrown off with my idea because
the colors that I picked like way more
coherent on the plate than they did on
the canvas so at this point I'm just
going all in and I'm trying to decide on
if I should like leave some white space
on this or just go full color and I
think I'm just gonna go full color you
know camera what the heck are you doing
I just saw her just like putting like
tapping here and like look at that the
colors like blue like look at what I was
getting and then yeah they come out so
much darker so much so difference of had
to start mixing white with mine but
there's mine so far pretty abstract
behave how's it coming it's coming
I think I'm done Camry looks like she's
getting pretty close to it
I think I'm gonna go ahead and list it
on eBay maybe get a little bit of a head
start against the competition and yeah I
mean the Apollo gonna be like 20 minutes
but anything helps I don't know what it
is or what it means but inspired we
realized that aces painting looks like a
dress that we own they are one of the
same thing time to go take some pictures
may the odds be ever in your favor
yeah you know when you look at an art
piece and like you're just kind of
thinking like oh I wonder what the
artist was thinking when they painted
that that is what mine is what did that
that's kind of like there's a bunny in
the middle I know that's kind of guy
wholesome do it you know you look at it
and you just sit there and you're like
oh that's kind of cool
let you know okay I'm sure about their
they had a 40 minutes more than the
other kid I have officially finished my
painting I think it looks pretty good
you know it's a little imperfect but I
kind of like but it's not perfect you
know oh we let it dry I take some
pictures
[Music]
okay so I'm on here trying to list my
painting and it's asking me to put who
it's listed by I don't want to put my
name just in case so I'm gonna put my
middle name because it sounds really
professional marnai so I'm putting it
listed by Marte and hopefully that will
keep people from finding it as me got my
picture
load it up and here's here's the thing
I'm gonna Photoshop this onto an actual
like painting on a wall and what its
gonna look like kind of like a mansion
or something just to add a little more
value to it so I'll show you that in a
minute whenever I do that I took
pictures of my picture outside like
everybody else did
now I'm just like editing it so that the
lighting looks good and the colors look
good and I'm gonna upload two different
photos with like two different
backgrounds it's gonna post like
literally again no artistic skills
okay else I think I'm done I think we're
going to use I just made like a fake
canvas like literally you can see the
edge of the canvas and the shadow and I
just put on this random wall and I think
that'll just help add a little bit of
value to it that's gonna be one of the
pictures I use and then the other will
just be a flat picture of it so I called
it gratitude sixteen by twenty premium
original oil painting on canvas and I
put in all the details and here's my
description an emotional blend of
vibrant strokes breaking through the
deep clouds of selfishness and
uncertainty one hundred ninety nine
cents as an auction Knox is gonna be set

photo and then my second photo here and

[Music]
okay people I posted my art on eBay
thought I had this whole strategy down
to like a tea well I have absolutely
zero bids and only 39 views in two days
so I am getting nowhere
the only people watching my art is my
sister and all the other people that
tried to post art so I have decided to
try a new strategy I don't know if the
other people know this but I'm gonna try
it and see what it does so the other
people that we base this video off of be
the tips hook about their art so I'm
about to make a chick talk about our art
and see if it does anything because I
think it will get more attention and
like as it gets more attention it'll
like boosted it in the algorithm of eBay
I don't know if that's even a thing but
we're gonna try it so I'll keep you
updated okay y'all so I saw someone on
this app make it tick talk of them
making a really crappy painting posting
it on eBay and it's selling for like
eighteen thousand dollars so I thought
I'd give it a shot
in order to make this a little bit more
fun my twin sister my younger sister and
my twin sisters boyfriend and I are
having a competition to see who can get
the highest bid by the end of the week
so this is my painting i titled it unity
and I have some really crazy but old you
know description and then I put it up
for $99.99 this is my sister boyfriend's
painting it's titled gratitude this is
my twin sisters painting Tree of Life
9999 what a bargain and the
my younger sisters painting called
nostalgia between the four of us we've
got them all posted and I'm gonna tell
you and update you how it goes by the
end of the way see who has the Heisman
just as an update it has been seven
minutes since I posted my tick-tock and
it has 7,000 likes and how many views
20,000 views and my eBay a hundred views
it went from 36 views to a hundred views
in seven minutes I think I've done
myself good on this strategy what just
happened
like 45 minutes since Berlin post of the
tic-tock and I have a big pretty exact
price that I put on these that means it
will sell no I didn't need one to happen
on mine
I was at the office just you know
casually packing things oh my god babe
for $100 and then I got another bit and
then I got another bit and then I got
another bit and then I got another bit I
have 7 bits in the high zone is $200 I'm
losing my mind
I know Bailey also has a bid for $100
but she every day so don't have a bid
yet which is kind of sad because I think
their paintings are good but I'm just
saying I took pick 20 minutes on this
painting crazy it's crazy mine is
currently at nine hundred and nine
hundred and ten dollars what
all yours what
I don't mind me feelin what happened
like actually three more bids it's up to
a hundred and twenty seven dollars and
point three point seven Brooklyn what
Jersey no all right any guesses on what
Minds that right now okay I'll tell you
them in order least to most camry has
zero bids Meyer Bailey has a couple of
bid 38 big herds is at three hundred and
three eight three hundred and thirty
dollars in Baileys a size at $1,025 and
I am at six thousand ninety dollars it
was just at six thousand ten minutes ago
Bailey it's trippin
there's no way these people are actually
gonna shuck up $10,000 okay so we're all
just sitting here reading out the
numbers that are climbing I saw zero
bids but sunna texted me and she said
some of your ebay links I send it to her
and she goes I got you and she's gonna
bid on mine but when she went in to go
check it said that I have two bids so
somebody has been on mine and my price
has been matched now so the video I
don't know everybody tried to make good
ones for 10150 that means I am in front
of Bailey now so everybody's making fun
of me last night literally in one night
no ice all this morning so what happened
is last night started getting more bids
and it might not bid up to like I can't
remember like maybe like a thousand
dollars or something and then like this
morning my like Apple watch was going
crazy and I was like who is texting me
it's like pretty early
like 20 alerts I need on my phone and
they're all from eBay and they just were
like stacking bids and now I am in third
place so I am speechless um I don't
think any of us anticipated the outcome
that we had current bid is 13,200 have
14 minutes left fifteen thousand one
hundred dollars and it ends in an hour
my painting has one hour and three
minutes left
I had seven bidders 54 bids and my
highest bid is 10,000 $800 for this are
you kidding me I'm going to be a
professional painter forever being an
already just after that's right it
always works out like that all right
here expire in $200 or your beauty of a
painting save 9 seconds left and one
for three congratulations my item sold
alright so I currently have one minute
until my bid ends my painting has had 36
bids by eight different bidders I've had
132 Watchers which means like they favor
did them or like save this and they
could watch the painting and I've had
10,000 348 views that's kind of the
total numbers and my 28 seconds left but
in like the past couple minutes people
have been bidding it up so my painting
has now gone up to its final price of
twelve thousand one hundred dollars
honestly though it's just kind of fun to
see how much people will what are like
say they'll pay I don't think any of us
really care about the actual money we're
just kind of doing it for fun so yeah it
just says congratulations your irs souls
we've sent the buyer a payment reminder
buyers can take up to 48 hours to pay
it's done so we waited the 48 hours to
see if any of us would get paid
unfortunately none of us did so you
won't even donate somebody anymore cuz
we didn't get any of the money but it
was it was so much fun
so that's all that matters yep but yeah
we just thought we'd wrap it up and say
technically Brooklyn won the competition
because she had $15,000 bid on her
painting even though none of us got the
money she technically won so good job
Oakland and won't again I lost I'm ready
to win a challenge
anyway let's do next week love you guys
this is currently my paintbrush broken
but we're doing what we can
you
