It's been a while since I have resined a painting and I have 2 paintings that have been waiting for some time. Last night it got cool, so today is the day.
I keep most of my resin supplies together with a list of things I need or need to do. I always forget to write down how much resin and harderner I use.
Today was a total of 606 grams of resin and hardener for a 20" x 24" wood panel.
I think I will add more the next time as it could have used a bit more with a few spills.
We shall see if it needs a second coat.
I picked up these beautiful brass lamps at the thrift store and while taking photos of them, I realized they paired lovely with the painting.
This painting below was a pouring medium that I did on canvas in 2012. It turned out beautiful with the flow of the pouring medium. I top coated it with the pouring medium as a final coat and was really surprised that it looked like glass. This is long b4 I tried resin. So years pass and it got transported to a few shows and I guess the pouring medium was not a stable final coat and it cracked in several places. I mean I really wasn't expecting it to last forever considering that it was on canvas. I top coated it yesterday and there is still some visibility of the cracks but I need to look up close. Here are some of the closeups.
Below is another one on canvas that is finished with resin.
I should mention that I did not coat the back although I hear I am supposed to.
