Acrylic Pouring with A Final Resin Coat.

Episode2829

Most of the pieces I do with acrylic pouring mediums I also coat in resin. Personally, I think it looks better for the work and adds a level of quality that you don’t get with varnish. Don’t get me wrong, there is a place for varnish and resin is no cheap venture, but if you can get your hands on some, I recommend trying coating a colorful abstract piece. It makes a big difference.

For this “episode” I created two videos. The first video is an explanation of me making the art. The second and much longer video is a detailed description of how I coat a piece in resin. The recipe for the piece was not exact, but in estimation, I did the following:

2 parts Floetrol / 1 Part Medium Body Paint / 1 Part 91% Alcohol / about 5 drops Silicone.

Below is a link to both videos and a list of links to all the materials in the event you are shopping for something. Also, I have included a few other links with the cups I use to measure as well as the scale I use when I create a recipe by weight.

Shopping List:

  1. Flood Floetrol
  2. Red Acrylic Paint
  3. Yellow Acrylic Paint
  4. Blue Acrylic Paint
  5. White Acrylic Paint
  6. Silicone
  7. Measuring Cups
  8. Art Resin
  9. Scale
  10. Torch

Labyrinth – 5X5 Panel. Acrylic Mixed Media with Resin Coating.

 

One of the reasons I like panels better than canvas is the starting over factor. It is much easier to sand down a panel than to just add more paint to a canvas. Once I started using panels, I never went back to the canvas. It is much more versatile for the type of work I lay down.

The other day I started on a piece for a friend of mine. Everything was well, and then I realized I hated what I was doing. So I grabbed the sander and went to town on the panel. As I was sanding, I started to see something I liked better as a beginning background. It just seemed to have a look I wanted for a soft pastel painting.

I made another video of the process. It is a little long and slow, but I do this for fun and not for enormous amounts of youtube popularity!

Fluid Acrylic on 5X7 panel.

 

I have recently been playing with the Golden High Flow Acrylic paints in conjunction with Art Resin, and I seem to be having lots of fun. The best part is watching the way these beautiful colors meld together.

Most of the pieces I have done have been small. I love large pieces of artwork, but there is something intimate about a little piece of work.
