Inspiring Resin Painting Examples

Explore completed resin paintings that demonstrate layered colours, geode textures, and ocean effects as seen in resin art tutorials. Notice how different viscosities and transparent dyes create vivid, glass-like aesthetics perfect for modern artistic expression.

Step 2: Mix Resin and Add Colour

Choose a resin designed for artistic use; a high viscosity option like Art Pro Deluxe allows for better controllability when painting or layering colours. Always check the manufacturer’s recommended mixing ratios. Do not mix water-based paints or wet materials with resin. Instead, opt for epoxy-compatible resin dyes or pigments. For a gorgeous transparent effect, add a few drops of “Magic Crystal” – Transparent Resin Colour to your mixed resin.

Carefully stir your resin and hardener mixture for several minutes, ensuring the sides and base of your mixing container are thoroughly blended. Pour small amounts into separate cups if you plan to use multiple colours, adding pigment to each as desired.

Step 4: Cure, Finish, and Protect Your Artwork

Allow your resin painting to remain undisturbed and covered (to prevent dust settling) through the full curing period. Refer to your resin’s instructions; measure both resin and hardener accurately for best results. Once cured, peel off painter’s tape and inspect the finish. Sand any rough edges if needed.

You can add further resin layers for a higher gloss or build special effects. Always check compatibility and allow lower layers to set before recoating. Display your finished piece away from direct sunlight to prolong colour clarity.

Troubleshooting: Achieving a Flawless Finish

Bubbles, uneven cure, or cloudy finishes often result from hurried mixing, dirty surfaces, or excess pigment. Art Pro Deluxe minimises these issues with its high viscosity and self-levelling formula—ideal for clear, professional results in resin art.
