Picked up a few more days at the shop in order to make some needed money for bills and art supplies. I have to order a TON more art materials- and soon

Those look really fantastic. I finally got time to check out your website and it looks like you're doing some really fascinating work. I wish I could see it in the flesh.
Whoa! Those are awesome. I haven't talked to you in a while haha. But really, those pieces are just beautiful. But I have an ignorant question, is resin like a sealer....or...what? haha. Sorry, I'm only familiar with wax and paints and brushes etc. Your art is very unique.
hey there shamira!:) thanks for the compliments! The stuff I use is a polyurethane-based clear casting medium. It comes in liquid form in two parts that you mix together and then pour. It creates a thick perfectly clear cast. People often use it in molds to create 3d sculptures. I use it to create a layer over a painting that is like a 1/2"thick glass. Then I paint/draw again on that surface and pour another layer of resin on top. Sometimes I even go for round three.This gives the paintings a depth that I love.Like layering pieces of painted glass over a painting.
Wow. Ok. So, if I made a painting, but it's on a mat board...then I won't be able to use the resin, like it can only be used on glass? That sounds really cool...I need to take some more art classes other than painting :/ Thanks for the info!
OR WAIT! Can you first make a layer of this resin, and then paint, and then layer and the paint and layer? Like can you use the resin as a base, almost like what you use a canvas for?
Oh those look STUNNING! What's wrapped around them? Framing or soemthing to allow you to do multiple pours? I still want to do the paper people thing dag nabbit... still itching the back of my head. :) REALLY inspiring. Someday I will make something you HAVE to ahve and we'll do a swap. Because I HAVE to ahve one of your works!
It's just masking tape...to hold in the resin while it cures. I remove it after curing and work on the piece more, then wrap fresh masking again when I'm ready for the next resin pour layer.
