You are an excellent teacher. It should be your occupation! You could teach at an art school, community college, privately. But I am sooo very glad you are sharing your talents with all of us.

[@adrianeartistry4543]

Your videos are so very helpful. I'm really very new to acrylic pouring and I've watched a number of your videos. This one is so helpful as I love the look of resin versus varnish. I do varnish but want to move to resinning more. I also love your packing and shipping video (US resident). I've started using pizza boxes. Again, I'm new (since end of December) but have sold and shipped four pieces so far. Thank you for being so helpful.

[@loribeal8197]

Hi Kanella...I received my resin this past week and my first try was a disaster. I made sure that both products were warm to about 73 and I carefully measured equal parts and mixed together. As soon as I poured it onto my canvas it congealed like gel. I could not get it off. Could not scrap it. What a mess. I called Krystal Resin and spoke with a nice person who told me to only warm up the resin not the hardener and not to use a plastic cup to mix in. Silicone would be better. So the next day I tried again and I worked great. However, on my yellow label it says to pour your hardener in the your mixing container first and the resin on top. You have said the opposite in this video. Not that it matters much as your going to mix it for 4 minutes anyway. Thank you for all your videos they have inspired me and given me something to look forward to during a very lonely time in my life.

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

It really doesn’t matter which one you mix into the other. As for silicone cups - I have never ever used silicone. I use plastic cups alllllll the time. Never had an issue. Sometimes bad things happen - glad you got it figured out.

[@raquelmitchell2993]

Thank you so much for this video. I love watching you. I’m new to pouring and trying to learn the many different techniques. Trying to make the blow dryer my friend, lol. You make it look effortless!

[@CarolynDenison]

You should have been at my studio the first time I used the hair drier. I ended up with paint from ceiling to my floors. Nothing was spared. My computer, curtains, Keyboard, router. I learned that there is a fine line between, not moving, and moving your paint. Good luck in your pours. I have work to do.

Thank you Kanella for your untiring way to teach us pour painting. I'm a watercolorist and I find this new method very interesting. 👍🏻

[@janetslaterphotography2806]

I bought an old round cafe table for $25 when a store was shutting down. The base is metal (beautiful design on it) but the top is an ugly blue . So learning how to work with acrylic pouring to decide what I want. Then will finish up with a resin top coat. Thank you for the in depth tutorial.

[@billiebrown7546]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this. I've wished I knew your process because your work is always so perfect. I'm a newbie and I'm soaking you and Tammy Anderson up like a sponge.

[@CarolynDenison]

Thank you Kanella. I learned some good secret's on using resin. XX

[@dianalaura2054]

This video is so good. I like that you are straightforward and honest about your process and what you know about the resin. I am going to be finishing a painting off with it soon. Probably my first and last time I'll be using resin but I think it will finish my painting the best. Usually I wouldn't do something like this since I don't paint at all and I will be adding sculptural objects to the piece as well. And well I am not a fan of resin personally but I was suggested to use it just to help with all the raw bark that is on my wooden canvas. Thus I've been doing a bit of research before hand since I just want to do it one time. Not sure if that is a good idea, I usually just go for it but with all the tips and information you gave in this video I think I will be prepared and have an easier time doing so! Will definitely recommend this videos to others if they are thinking of doing the same.

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Thanks. I have a newer version as well as this was an older video kzbin.info/www/bejne/mna5lZmrd8p-qpI

[@ursulamackinnon119]

This was an excellent video Kanellla! I have used resin a lot now and u covered every issue, missing a spot, not seeing a cat hair in the mix, burning the resin, ending up with divets, temp of the resin...I’ve made every one of the mistakes at one time or another. You can’t rush a step or u don’t get good results.

[@nicholeb2746]

I like your resin method. I only have 32oz of resin for the 3 pc I made for my living room, and I'm glad to see the results are good with just a thin coat vs. pouring the 32oz on one canvas!

This is great! It was practical, down to earth. And of course visual which really helps me. Thanks so much , I will keep watching.

Happy Canada Day! Very informative and excellently done. If you don't already have one, try using a small ceramic heater with thermostat to warm up your space. They're electric and safe.

I absolutely LOVE the simplicity and straight forward explanations! This video is exactly what I needed to see so I can feel confident when doing my first resin. I watched many videos and this is by far the best one! I was panicking that I don’t have covers to put over my paintings after the resin thinking that it is the only way... I so appreciate the creative mind set you have and the cost conscious approach! I can’t wait to tackle my project tomorrow as I feel that now I have everything that I need. Thank you for all your dedication to quality without compromise 🙏😊

Awesome video. Thanks for telling everyone to wear a respirator and mentioning that there are differences in resin (fumes, VOC, etc.). Everyone should read the safety data sheets on the resin that they are using. Especially important to use a respirator when sanding, as resin dust can be toxic.
