In a lot of my posts and videos, I explain how an artist might create pieces with different effects using various types of mediums and recipes for acrylic pouring.  For me, acrylic pouring is just a part of the larger process.  It does not necessarily define my style nor is it the only type of art that I create.  I love the way this technique gives me an unpredictable starting point.   It is in some ways predictably unpredictable.

In the video linked I am creating the foundation of a much more detailed piece.  By no means is this the end of the journey but the first of 8 different parts.  The finished layer took about 48 hours to dry and is now ready for the next phases of work.   The details of how I made this piece are not as important as just enjoying the work.   It is important for me not to get bogged down in the details.  It takes a little life away from the creative process.  The next layers will be much more precise and a whole lot more enjoyable.  When it is completed along with others pieces I am working on they will all be available to view in my gallery.  I hope you enjoy this brief but very meditative first step.

How to fix a ugly acrylic pour painting with color tinted resin using Golden Interference Paint.

RESINFIX

Recently I started playing with some of Golden Paints Interference paints with my resin pieces.   This type of paint surprisingly brought an entirely new level to the look I want with some of my art.  When it is applied over another layer it has this really cool shimmer of color.  Much the same way interference paint is used in custom show cars.  You probably have seen them.  They are the ones that look green in one direction and then it changes to purple and blue.

So as I started playing with the paint I decided to see how it looked when mixed in resin. I was pleasantly surprised at how it didn’t so much become reflective as much as it gave the resin a soft watery look.  I totally fell in love with the look.  There are many different colors t play with and it comes in Fluid as well!  Way to go GOLDEN!

So I uploaded a video of me applying it to the disk above.  Originally the painting was rather dark and sort of muddy.  Once I added the Interference Resin (I should trademark that) I liked the piece a whole lot more.  Below the video I have a list of materials I used.

More water than anything

More than water

 

This blog has been a holding site for the last couple of years as I found out more about myself and where I want to be going forward. After 15 years growing a photography studio, I finally decided to go back to doing what I loved, art. Over the last couple of years, I have found that my true self is from being a creator and a healer. It took a lot of work to come to that realization, but it has helped me focus more on my art and my future.

Luckily I have somewhat of a plan going forward for at least the next few years. In August of this year, I start graduate school at the University of Houston School of Social Work. Graduate school is going to be a difficult task, but I am excited for the opportunity to eventually help people work through issues of addiction and trauma. Eventually I plan to incorporate art and therapy together.

In the meantime, I am busy working on a lot of new pieces to have available alongside my new website. Please keep an eye out here for where my works will be showing. Thanks for sticking around during this odd transition. I hope it becomes much more informative and entertaining.
