So a disclaimer here — this painting was strictly for me to practice some techniques. It’s not particularly pretty, but I’m excited to share the results of my resin color swipes with you. Resin formula I mixed 7 ounces of resin and poured off about 2/3 ounce each into three smaller cups. After coloring the… Read more »
It’s more transparent colors in resin this week. This yellow resin painting comes from using orange, yellow and antique gold together over a white base. Resin formula I mixed 7 ounces of resin as I wanted to have a little extra for the white base. Next, I then poured off about 2/3 ounce each into… Read more »
I’m having so much fun using transparent colors in my resin. I decided I would try resin painting with transparent blue and green this week. Resin formula I mixed 6 ounces of resin, then poured off about 3/4 ounce each into two smaller cups. Then, I poured 1/2 ounce into a cup with 1/4 teaspoon… Read more »
I’m pleasantly surprised with how the transparent colors looked in last week’s painting, so I wanted to try again with new colors this week.

So let’s just stipulate right away that this looks like a birthday cake resin painting. Now that we got that 800 pound gorilla out of the way, let’s move onto the painting. LOL I wanted to try the juicer again, but with brighter colors. This time, I chose the magenta, teal and yellow because they are… Read more »
Because I had so much fun with last week’s painting, I decided to do another one this week using a plastic juicer. I decided this painting will also be an opportunity to cover up painting 108. Resin formula I mixed 6 ounces of resin, then poured off one ounce into two separate cups and colored… Read more »
You should not expect anything exciting from this week’s painting. I wanted to try a ‘juicer’ to apply the resin, so I didn’t make anything really complicated. Uh juicer? I thought water wasn’t good for resin. It’s not, but I found this dandy plastic juicer at the dollar store and thought I would give it… Read more »
I probably shouldn’t tell you this, but this isn’t exactly the picture I had in my head about how this painting would turn out. I think that’s one of our problems as artists in why we can’t (or at least I can’t) appreciate our own work sometimes. More on this in a minute. Resin formula… Read more »
