NEW RESIN SWIPE METHOD: Place silicone oil DIRECTLY on the swipe tool of your choice and get ready for some beautiful results! I am relatively new to resin art and swipe technique has taken me a while to learn. It always looks easier than it actually is, but some of the resin swipe 'greats' on YouTube, including Artist Till Death, Moonkusser Art, Mixed Media Girl, Sue Findlay, Petra Jongbloed, JOTZ designs have inspired me to keep at it. I have yet to see another resin artist use the specific method of applying silicone oil directly to the swipe tool. Most artists use Resi-Blast, mix silicone oil into the resin, or sprinkle silicone oil on top of the resin after a swipe. These methods also create beautiful results, but we are always looking to find different methods to create different effects. I thought this one was worth sharing. I love the subtle patterns this method creates and I hope I can inspire others to try a resin swipe painting! If you are like me, you have experimented with swipe technique on acrylic pours. For some reason, resin swipes are more complicated, requiring patience and practice! Thanks again to all the wonderful YouTube resin artists I watch on the daily.

This resin project is done on a pre-framed round canvas, purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016CEC94M/?tag=affiliash04-20 The neat thing about this project is that you have the option to use your final piece as wall art or a serving tray, or both! That's some functional art! This is a beginners project,as the framed canvas makes the resin process much easier. The trick is to use different types of mediums in your resin. Here are just a few of the mediums I use together in most of my pieces: Apple Barrel Acrylic Paint: https://amzn.to/2T3qByW Envirotex Lite Epoxy Resin: https://amzn.to/2t7gRsZ Pearl Ex Pigments: this is the kit I have and I love it: https://amzn.to/351yTKB ( this is the kit I own. it's great!) Dr. Ph Martin's India Ink: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004BNBVO6/ref=nosim?tag=affiliash04-20 Alcohol Inks: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CT1YCQ3/ref=nosim?tag=affiliash04-20 For beginners, I suggest starting with a framed canvas like this one, and picking 3-4 colors for your project. For best results, pick a dark color, light color, accent color, and a metallic. Use a different medium for each, such as alcohol inks, acrylic inks, acrylic Paints, pigment powders, spray paint, etc. Budget friendly options/tips: -eyeshadows work just like pigment powders and you can get some really cool colors at your local dollar store if you don't already have some in the back of your makeup drawer! -food coloring works to give a transparent look to your resin, just like alcohol inks. Food coloring works great with a little silicone oil mixed in it if you want a cell, lacing effect in your piece Last tip of the day: KNOW WHEN TO STOP. DO NOT WORK YOUR RESIN INTO A MUDDY MESS. THE EFFECTS WILL HAPPEN AFTER YOU WALK AWAY FROM THE PIECE. trust in the process. Please let me know if you have any questions!
