Beach Scenes 101: How to Use Resin in Acrylic Pouring to Create Lacing and Paint Waves (With Video)
Today we’re going to learn how to incorporate resin into our fluid pouring. This technique is very useful for creating beautiful beach scenes, complete with realistic-looking waves. I lived in Hawaii for 7 years, and the heart of all of my paintings is based on the love and connection I feel to the island. Almost all of my pieces are blue and oceanic and reflect the spirit of the island.
While I go over a specific type of resin work in this article, I’ve also created a downloadable course on how to do resin artwork for those interested in taking their resin art to the next level. This course gives you a broader base of knowledge in resin and the specific techniques I use. There’s also an option to include a supply kit that will give you all the supplies you need to get started. You can find my course and kits here.
The wonderful thing about fluid art is there are so many different mediums you can use for it. My favorite is resin. Now, I know a lot of you are new to resin work, but I promise that if you follow a few basic steps you’ll get results you simply won’t see with acrylic alone.
Supplies You’ll Need
For this project you will need these items. I will link my favorites below:
- Resin of your choice. I like to use Naked Fusion Resin for artists
- Acrylic paints. I use High Flow, but any acrylic will work
- Denatured alcohol
- Glitter or mica (optional)
- Safety equipment (gloves, respirator, tarp for work area)
- Wood panel
- Small butane torch
- Mixing cups and sticks
The most important thing I can tell you about working with resin is to thoroughly read the instructions on the back of your resin container.
I would say 99 percent of all resin “fails” could be prevented by just reading the directions. Each resin has a different mix time, cure time, ratio, and set of instructions. So as long as you follow yours, you should be fine.
Now, let’s get started on our beach pour….
Mix the Resins and Colors
Begin by mixing your resin according to the instructions. Mine is a 1:1 ratio and needs to be mixed for 3 minutes. After mixing, I divide the resin into small plastic cups.
Next, I choose the colors for my beach pour, usually shades of blues, greens, sand, and always white for waves.
When adding acrylic color to your resin, start with a VERY small amount, and never add more than 10 percent by volume. If you are using high flow paint, start out with just a few drops. Keep in mind that anything more than 10 percent by volume will change how the resin cures.
Also, NEVER add silicone to your resin like you do with your acrylic pours.
Once you have added your acrylic, high flow acrylic, or pigment, mix it up until the color is even throughout. If you think your resin is too thick you can add a little denatured alcohol to thin it; just not too much! Remember the rule of 10 percent here also.
Pro tip: Use the same denatured alcohol to get resin off your hands, floor, clothes, or anywhere else you don’t want it.
