RE: Beautiful Sunset resined onto wooden tile

in #art7 years ago

I've been making them! I grab a beechwood wood panel from the art store, 3m spray glue the watercolor to the panel after applying fixative. Then I cover in art resin. It's a lot of steps but they sure look pretty!

Sort:  

Whoa! I thought they were ceramic tiles or something... Cool! I haven't worked with resin before. Do you have to deal with bubbles? I have used a clear gel stuff on my shrink earrings - and that's always a pain because bubbles get in there and you have to get them out with a needle/pin. Ugh!

Anyway, I'm impressed! So - they are all originals! Cool!

Yes those darn bubbles!! grrrr... I use a heat gun and do several "light" heat blasts to get rid of those darn bubs. It's a challenge for sure. My first attempt sucked, and because, yes, I am working with my originals, there is the ever present reminder that if I ruin it, I ultimately completely ruin everything. No pressure, haha!

So far I've been pretty successful but I have had a lot of opportunities to work with resin, so I'm not too afraid of it. Not for the faint of heart for sure, and I would use paintings you're okay with losing if it's your first try/tries.

Thank you for asking me questions! I'm so glad you've sent so much inspiration my way!

Thanks for the info! Interesting stuff!
