Next, Id love to figure out how to makeresin geode art.
As described in detail below you will need to:
Painting the seashore scene is actually pretty simple.
Using a combination of acrylic paint colors, brush on the paint in diagonal stripes working quickly.
Its important to do this before the paint dries so that each color blends together with the next.
Work side to side with diagonal strokes.
Lastly, paint the beach with the desert sand color.
Let the paint dry completely before moving on to the resin pouring.
NOTE: We used the same process for these resin art piece as for our wooden serving boards.
The photos are from the serving board project but the same steps apply.
Stir for 2 minutes then transfer into a second clean measuring cup.
Stir with a clean stir stick for another minute.
Add a few drops of the sand paint color to the resin and stir together.
Using the end of a wide mixing stick pour the mixture over the sand painted portion of the artwork.
Repeat as necessary over the next 1-2 hours.
Aim the direction of the torch or dryer towards the water area of the artwork.
Mix equal parts of resin and hardener in a clean measuring cup.
