HOW TO PAINT PALM TREES AND RESIN WAVES - OCEAN RESIN ART

I decided to get out of my comfort zone even more and finally tried to combine ocean resin art with realistic fine art painting. I've created many pieces with Shark families before and here I go even further since I painted some Palm trees with shadows on the coast line.
I upgraded my filming gear, so that I can film with two cameras at the same time. I also added a LAV microphone to my gear so that voice audio is now really clear.
* Main camera: Canon 100D (known as Rebel SL1 in USA)
* Overhead camera: iPhone 7 Plus
* Microphone: Rode smartLav+ Lavalier
For video editing I use DaVinci Resolve - an awesome piece of software!

MUSIC used in this video was written and recorded by my brother Damir in his home studio. Thanks for letting me use it Bro ;-)

You can support me with buying original art or prints on my website. I offer Limited edition prints of this painting called "PALM BEACH". Available here: www.rasko.eu/shop/fine-art-pr...
==============================================================================
For creating process I use:
* Cradled wooden panel - 8mm Birch plywood, 30mm Spruce edge (handmade by myself)
* GOLDEN Gloss Medium for sealing the wood
* Acrylic Gesso for priming wooden panel
* Art Resin
* GOLDEN Heavy body, Fluid and High flow Acrylic paints
* Heat gun
* Blow torch
* A bunch of rubber gloves

I just love your work. You have truly inspired me. I have always been a musician and song writer from an early age, that is where my talent lied. But, this year I have been preparing to begin a new talent in paints and resin. I have been especially influenced by you and have thoroughly enjoyed each of your videos. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. Warmest regards, Gina McDougall, from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. 😊❤🐨

[@raskofineart]

Dear Gina. Stories and feedbacks like yours drive me to make this videos and help other creative souls find their inspiration for doing art. Thanks a lot for your kind words! I wish you all the best in your creative journey. ❤️Love, Rasko

[@GinaMacArt]

@@raskofineart I would really appreciate it if you could also do a video on how you make your framed plywood canvasses. I have to wonder if it would be cheaper to make the large canvasses then to buy them. Have a great day/night. I look forward to your new videos. 😊❤🐨

[@raskofineart]

​@@GinaMacArt I recently decided to have my wooden panels someone made to order for me. Building those panels took me a lot of time with my hobby tools. Now a carpenter builds them way faster for me with professional tools and value my time a lot. I can now do more of all other creative stuff 🙂

Thanks👍

[@marwapullani6191]

hey do you use 2:1 resin or 3:1 please help

[@MichelleTraceyArt]

Fascinating, painting acrylic over resin, it looks great. I assumed the resin would be too slick of a surface? I shall try it. Is there a reason you attached the hanging screws to the inside surface of the frame rather than the outside? Thanks!

[@raskofineart]

Thanks Michelle. Yes, resin is somehow very smooth and slick surface, but you can paint with acrylics, just use layering and it is all fine. Regarding hanging screws -> I use screws with hooks, so if I attached them on the back not the sides, they would bump on the wall. Also doing it like I do, the tension of the wire pulls the piece more towards the wall.

[@MichelleTraceyArt]

@@raskofineart oh I see that makes sense. Thank you so much for replying. Your art is very cool!!

[@raskofineart]

You're welcome. I love to help if I can. I love your art too!

[@petercarels]

Hey, I just started following you and I think your work is great. Question on using acrylics and resin. I know there is a delicate balance between the amount of acrylic paint you use. What are your ratios that you use?

[@raskofineart]

Thanks! Allways just a few drops of paint into a cup of resin…

[@elggois7233]

Good afternoon Rasko, I live in Brazil, I'm learning with your work that they are really beautiful, do you use a white base or acrylic paint?

[@raskofineart]

Both. I explain that in this video 😊

[@MrFeathers7]

Beautiful work ! The palm trees & the sharks look great ! The acrylic paint you used was it water based ? Thanks.

[@raskofineart]

Hi Mark, thank you! Yes, all acrylic paints are watter based. 👍

[@MrFeathers7]

@@raskofineart Thanks for the reply, I'm going to give it a try !

[@monrinkuroy]

Stunning work 👌👌 learn a lot. without heat gun and torch is it possible with hair dryer???

[@raskofineart]

You can try, but temperatures are much lower when using regular hair dryer. Also depends on Epoxy you are using I guess... Just try and you'll find your way :) Good luck!

[@monrinkuroy]

@@raskofineart Thank you 🌹

[@THDSCornwall]

How hot and what sort of air flow do you use on the heat gun?

[@raskofineart]

My heat gun is a really cheap one, so nothing fancy there. All I do, I do with trial and error, every heat gun is different so I can’t give you exact numbers. But make sure you start with lower heat setting and lower air flow setting and gradualy ad up to get you to desired effects. I hope this helps. Good lick with your projetcs! 👍

[@MrFeathers7]

Me again Rasko ! Forgot to ask if you could create a "big wave tutorial" as in Hawaii ? thanks.

[@raskofineart]

Cool idea! I was thinking about big waves for some time. At the moment I'm focused to finish my new series, but I'll definitely keep this one in mind! Thanks 👍

[@MrFeathers7]

Thanks Rasko, I look forward if you do a big wave !🌊

[@barbcizek5812]

Lovely thank you! Can you tell me how hot you set your heat gun?

[@raskofineart]

I set mine on about 70% heat power and I use two different blow speed settings, but mostly the low one. But this really depends on each brand of actual heat gun. The best way is to start slowly and increase power gradually until you achieve desired effect.

[@barbcizek5812]

Thanks also where do you get your little vinyl brushes?

[@richardmakepeace4830]

What is the best wood to use for epoxy?

[@raskofineart]

Probably Birch

[@joyjackson8249]

If I have a wooden canvas do I have to use gesso to coat ?

[@raskofineart]

Hi Joy! Great question. Wood remains alive even after cut to size, so it is always good to first seal it with a sealer (I use "Golden" Polymer Medium Gloss) and then prime it with gesso. Using white gesso also makes colours on top more saturated and vibrant. Using gesso only - directly on wood - can make wooden panels sag, especially large ones. Have fun creating!

[@honibzerko]

I love your art and I’m trying small epoxy projects I love ❤️ your beach scenes what are the colors you use for the ocean 🌊 and sand

[@honibzerko]

I’m sorry I seen where you show the colors Thank you 😊 so much

Não me canso de assistir esse vídeo. Sua arte é sensacional!! Você usa resina de baixa Viscosidade ou alta viscosidade? abraços

[@raskofineart]

Thank you 🙏. I use Art Resin which has quite high viscosity, similar to honey.

[@MrNaonao2010]

@@raskofineart obrigada por me responder. Infelizmente, aqui no Brasil não temos esta marca de resina. Porém, eu uso uma de alta viscosidade também. Você bem que poderia fazer um curso on line para ensinar esta Técnica fantástica!! Ja pensou nisso ???

[@raskofineart]

Translation: Thanks for answering me. Unfortunately, here in Brazil we don't have this resin brand. However, I use a high viscosity one too. You might as well take an online course to teach this fantastic technique!! Have you ever thought about it ??? @@MrNaonao2010 - I thought about it, maybe sometime in the future 🙂.

[@arlenevalencia4201]

On the first layer how much resin did you use?

[@raskofineart]

This always depends on artwork size and resin brand you use. Just follow instructions for the brand you use. This one is 24”x48” and I use about 1,1 to 1,2 Litres of Art resin in first layer.

[@FenrirRJ]

Amazing, How do you remove the hardened drops of resin under the frame?

[@raskofineart]

Thanks Rodrigo. For removing the hardened drops of resin I use heat-gun. See me doing it towards end of the video...

[@FenrirRJ]

@@raskofineart Oh Thanks, Your art ia beautiful

[@raskofineart]

@@FenrirRJ Thank you for your support 🙏🏻

[@Tzublu]

If I'm working on MDF Board do I need to coat gesso??

[@raskofineart]

Ayana, I always apply 2 coats of a sealer (like GOLDEN Medium Gloss or Liquitex Medium) - to seal the wood (from both sides). Than I use at least 2 coats of gesso. If you use gesso directly o wood, it can sag or bow - especially if panels are larger. Good luck!

[@Tzublu]

@@raskofineart Thanks for letting me know!!!!😍😍

[@AbhishekSingh-vm6ue]

is sanding and polishing not required for this resin

[@raskofineart]

No, this is art resin. It dries to perfect shinny finish.

[@nickknezic1315]

I notice you don't sand the resin between coats, why not?

[@raskofineart]

This is an artwork, not a table or furniture which gets "abused" a lot. The bond is strong without sanding. Also, each layer doesn't reach to the end of prior layer, so sand marks would be visible.

[@ACJRosales]

I would love to try. How much do you sell these for?

[@ACJRosales]

Very beautiful and thank you for the clear directions. I can try, but also wondered if you sell these?
