Resin Painting for Beginners

Resin used in this video was Stone Coat Countertops Art Coat (www.stonecoatcountertops.com/.... There are many, many types of resin. Differences in resins will include work time, yellowing factor, smell, etc.
Things you can use to color resin: Resin tints, inks, acrylic paints, mica powders, glitter, nail polish, eye shadow, etc.
You will need either a torch or a heat gun to get rid of the air bubbles. They also heat the resin up to make it easier to move around. You can also use a hairdryer to move the resin around, though it will not get rid of all the air bubbles.
Once complete, a resin painting takes about 24 hours to cure. You will need to make sure it dries level and in a dust and wind-free environment. An easy way to do this is to cover it with a box or container.
After it is dry, you can add another layer of resin on it as desired, either a clear coat or an additional layer of color for depth. Just sand in between coats. With resin, you can also add in other things such as rocks, sequins, glitter, gold leaf, etc. etc. The possibilities are endless :)

Jesus. Mary. and Joseph. Thank you. I've been searching everywhere for this video. Finally someone who cared enough to help the rest of us. Bless you kind lady. You just made my life a lot easier. I subscribed to your channel.

[@MixedMediaGirl]

You're very welcome :)

You forgot to mention the wee donkey. J,M&J and the wee donkey as well 😀

Amen thank you so much I’ve been interested in starting this

[@cynthiacullen9695]

Lol don’t forget the other guy 🤣

[@robertdelaplante7326]

Hahaha…I haven’t heard that saying since my mom said it 20 years ago….I love it….thanks for bringing back funny memories. 🤗

[@mrsjkehoe]

I'm a resin newbie and have been watching different videos to learn what to do and not do. Your video was the easiest to follow by a long shot. Your video makes me even more excited to get started because I feel more confident with your videos out there! Thank you so much!

[@MrOnyxpony]

Just an FYI - When I make my jewelry, I gently blow into a straw across the resin. My breath is warm enough to bring the bubbles to the surface and pop. It works great for me and it keeps my work space clear of items like hairdryers, etc. that I won't use for more than a minute or two. Certainly for large projects like river tables, where larger areas of bubbles need to be removed quickly, blowing in a straw just won't do the job. However, because it works for me when making jewelry or pictures so well, I thought it might be of some value to others also. Thanks for your video. You answered the questions I had about what things would work to color resin, how to use them, and what the results would be. It was extremely helpful!

[@davidharuna6532]

Very sensible n open

[@marikiemarie7622]

That points condensation into or on the resin.

[@zaneshepherd5245]

would a hair dryer work ?

[@rippi37]

Thanks for your info.... xxx

[@shaboo2]

When I try to mix resin w colors, it looks nice at first. Then I come back and it has blended and mixed in a lot. How did u avoid this?

[@HereWeGoMel]

This is the only video i could find that actually made sense. Thank you!!!

[@ldavanzo44]

I agree ! Wish i found it first 20 other videos later, And they all skip the resin/hardener/paint mixing!

[@marva-mariehall25]

HereWeGoMel so true

[@sarcasmWeOutHere2]

HereWeGoMel right!!👍🏾

[@sarcasmWeOutHere2]

Thank you very much,, I done watched so many other channels on this type of project and none made me feel confident with trying to do it myself until now!! I’m officially a subscriber👍🏾🔥😎have an awesome day🌹

[@desireeconrad2742]

You are spot on! This is the only video that made any sense at all. Everyone else tells you everything EXCEPT what the hell to do and how to do it lol!

[@celesteelijah8923]

Thank you for your explanation of the use of resin with various paints and alcohol ink. I have been viewing DIYs and a lot of them make it seem like a chore to do. Watching you, I am inspired even more to try it. I'm not an artist and don't know how to draw, but I love color and have watched hundreds of tutorials on this. I've always felt that knowing how to use color-- to me is relaxing and enjoying the end result of what one has been created. Once again, I am inspired. Thank you.

[@MixedMediaGirl]

You're welcome :)

[@lilspaperdaze]

I am a crafter and I accidentally bought resin dye thinking it was something else. Let’s just say, I am gearing up for another hobby. I love what you did and I can’t wait to get started. Thank you for taking the time to show these steps!

[@rustygrunert5316]

Thank you for making this so easy to get, you have lifted the shroud of mystery that some other teachers of this craft who make it difficult to follow. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@louisecollet]

I just love tour channel, it was you and Sandra Lett, that lead me to my journey of art! I lost my close friend 2 years Xmas day, and was asked to make a memory box! I never stopped there! The first video I watched of you was pouring over a small table and vases! That was almost 2 years ago! I’ve sold so many beautiful pieces and if it wasn’t for the both of you, I wouldn’t of attempted! So thank you very very much!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️😀😀😀

[@KaushikiAnartistfromsoul]

This is such a great tutorial! loved it totally! thank you so much for the share!

[@tinacurlyq]

As one who is exploring resin art, you have helped me tremendously! Thank you for being an awesome instructor!

[@carolinewaterstone2624]

You are totally brilliant, such a superb tutorial, just what I’ve needed to finally push me to use resin! I’m thrilled with what I’ve learned, thank you so v v v much, Caroline 😃

[@judyeuller7602]

I'd never thought of resin pouring directly on canvas. I like!

[@ljlongoria6454]

Thank you for this eloquent tutorial. It was to the point, not long and drawn out about your personal life. Thank you a million times!

[@stephanies.114]

Thank you for this! I learned SO much more from this than others! Now I know go make more!!!

[@pallavibhole408]

You are very good narrator and you explain it so well to understand ❤

[@charlesklein7232]

A PROFESSIONAL VIDEO! 1 thank you for not using background drug music! 2 thank you for cutting the noise of the hair dryer most people insert more drug background music! 3 thank you for explaining what "cure" means everybody thinks i know all the "SLANG" words or abbreviations! WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU USE REAL "OIL" PAINT? hope you do more videos!

[@moonlobotomy9061]

It looks amazing!!! Can't wait to see more of it, and nice tutorial!

[@Flyonlittlewing265]

Now that I am totally invested in resin art (Thank you for the discount for supplies:), I really appreciate this tutorial. I've watched many of your videos and I thank you. You are a joy to watch and your work is fabulous! No wonder you have such an enormous following. Love your giggle...sweet.

[@Light-n-love]

1st thing i am loving is your organization and the 2nd thing is that your using parchment paper!! Those edges tho were driving my perfectionistic self crazy! :D It is so pretty!

[@marciasylvester7990]

thank you thank you thank you! finally found someone who explained resin so well.

[@joansadhana1298]

You are great teacher, enjoyed and learnt a lot, happy I came across this video, thanks for sharing.

[@sanayavg]

Wow, lovely tutorial. You’ve done a great job. Thanks!

[@EllaNchanted]

Great resin tutorial

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

I do love the addition of the glitter!

[@nickmayer3370]

I’m so happy to see cells in resin iv never had success with cells but I love your tutorial you’re very relaxed and flexible about everything, but I’ve found that if you don’t raise your painting it will stick to the surface and it’s hard to remove later. Thanks for a great tutorial!

[@MixedMediaGirl]

Resin doesn't stick to parchment paper :)

[@Kathy-Carr]

Thank you! All those things that can be used I wasn’t aware of! Thank you!!🥳

[@artisticintentions7890]

Very cool, very informative, so much fun! Nice one!!

[@joeyaklic9002]

Very helpful, I didn’t realize you could use all of those different items to color resin. And the end project came out really nice! Thanks!

[@ariellovescoffee]

Only video that explained properly thanks

[@muhsifbaby]

Thank you for your patience and clarity! I truly appreciate it

[@drmom1443]

Excellent presentation! Thoroughly enjoyed the tutorial. Thank you!

[@laurafifer4453]

Love the results, looking for something for my Deaf son to find something to relax him. This is awesome!

[@kelliquinn1342]

At first when you said it was going to be a basic class I almost decided not to watching boy am I glad that I did. I've been intimidated by resin so this is help in my confidence building. Love the hack about using eyeshadow and how sweet are you to even suggest in the gas station torches. As us artists know... probably spend more money on our supplies then we're willing to admit to ourselves, and this includes our coupons LOL. So I have hesitated on this process. Admittedly I bought the resin and it's sitting on my counter for months now. What a great way to get rid of the old eyeshadows love it love it love it and now I'm not going to be chicken and I'm going to try it this weekend. You're a doll thank you so much for sharing this video

[@lindaholt1610]

Fellow starving artist here. I use a $2 grill lighter and my hairdryer on low. I've even gone so far as to tape an empty toilet paper roll on the end of the dryer, and I've twisted the end of the roll until only a small hole is left for the air to blow through. I know a heat gun is only $10 on Amazon, but there are so many molds that I don't own yet!

[@kelliquinn1342]

@@lindaholt1610 LOL seriously lol I can do the same thing with a toilet paper tube oh, the funny thing is I had one of those like for 30 years never wanting to throw that part of the blow-dryer away when I finally do I start this art what the heck. Eventually threw a resale shop I was able to get a blow dryer with the end thing.... true about tape around it pretty sure I put it on upside down🙃 But you got to give people like us a lot of credit for being inventive.. you're my kind of person❤ Sonny had a little issue with keeping all these recyclable things because I want to use them for pouring over or poring in LOL one of the best ones I've done so far was from an old fashioned tournament that I found at a resale shop. Wish you much success and much fun with your painting, is I'm pretty sure it's keeping my sanity these days

[@hwello527]

Such a great video. Amazing ideas for using different things for pigments. Thank you so much for posting!!💕

[@readingsbycara]

Resin 101 - ♥️ I love the introduction of various things that can color resin.

[@rebeccacastaneda6263]

I’ve been waiting so long for a good detailed tutorial thank you!

[@larrypelfrey5103]

You are so amazing, mixing all different things and it turned out so pretty

[@Love72Yourself]

OMG I had absolutely no idea you could mix nail polish!! I am having some financial issues right now (always I'm disabled permanently) and I cannot afford anything except my resin but I really want to get started with some coasters so I made a silicone coaster mold and now I have a huge collection of nail polish that I can tint it with along with my regular acrylic paint thanks to you!!!💜♥️💜 Much love from a struggling artist in Texas

[@chrissyp3165]

Wow nail polish. Cool nice job

[@shannonattebery540]

Great info video, thank you! 😍 beautiful painting!

[@JuliaMcNeillCrafts]

Looks lots of fun x

[@Mskimberley81]

This was such a great starter video, as you showed us some of the different types of colour and opacity. This was beautiful as just going from what you mixed at the start who knew how it would turn out! So inspiring

[@SCOUSER-]

Awesome job Media Girl, Thanks for sharing👍🏼

[@godsbutterfly9749]

Thank you for this tutorial. I'm not worried about trying this now.

[@darlene7461]

Wonderful tutorial teaching the use of different media. Thank you you were fabulous in this and I loved it. ❤️❤️❤️

I love the glitter in it! It's subtle but eye catching when you do the close up, beautiful accident! 😍

[@agreene696]

So pretty!!!!

[@cecilelavas]

Great instructions for beginners like me. Thanks so much.

[@rosequeen49]

I’m just beginning to think about resins art and what kind I want to do. I love your video because little did I know how much I already have available in materials from other crafts I’ve done throughout the years. You’ve got me excited for my next journey!

[@jaustin2927]

So beautiful! TFS

[@janetlamping1017]

I just love how you explain all the details and your resin piece is gorgeous!!

[@tracyfowler3737]

Yes it is gorgeous

[@nicolelopez1392]

I’m so glad I came across your video it is so helpful especially since I’m a beginner beginner! Thank you for the simplicity your video!! It definitely helped knowing what you can use and the different types of combinations. I have a lot of powdered eyeshadows I’ve not used that I’d like to tryout now

[@beverlythomas4119]

Love the outcome. 😎

[@elizabethdavis5893]

This one is my all time favorite you have done.

Thank you for explaining very slowly and simply, awesome teacher.

[@izzagul_]

I m a total beginner who is just amazed with this art but couldn’t find any video detailed enough for beginners, thank u so much, you actually showed how to do step by step which i couldn’t find on any other video❤️❤️thank u so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@christinebrown7934]

You did a really great job of explaining all of the elements.

[@lindaholt1610]

Thanks, Girl! You answered at least SIX questions I had. I've been especially interested in what you can mix into resin, and you just saved me a BUNCh of $$ trying these things myself. The fingernail polish was a new one for me. Thanks again for helping those of us new to the wonderful world of resin.

[@1godsmacker]

Very informative, you are a great teacher-very organized and covered all my questions.

[@carolnilberg8248]

Love you and your work! Attended a workshop in Seguin,TX. Had my pieces shipped and then waited about a week before looking at them. WOW! Really learnt a lot and with your tips and tricks! Again loved it!

Very nice even the colors were cool together 👍🏻💖

[@BlitzkriegBoogie]

Thank you for uploading this. Very informative tutorial with lots of very useful tips and it really gets the imagination working on what is possible, which in my mind is pretty much "If you can think of it you can probably do it."

[@nessabrown06]

Great tutorial. I use a hair dryer for the bubbles and a tooth pick if necessary. Thank you!

[@acookscraftlife1917]

Very simple! I almost gave up on this technique

[@YourDailyJewelsNorahDowney]

You are such a great teacher. Thank you for all of your vids.

[@AnaEmpanada888]

Wow, tbh I was so skeptical of the color combo at first but it turned out better than expected. Absolutely gorgeous. I would purchase this. Also this was very informative. I’m doing resin art as well and was wondering about measurements for mica and glitter and you’ve helped me so much, thank you!

[@Travelette__]

Thank you for your video! The info was clear and you answered all the questions I had :)

[@HWolfe]

A friend immediately told me this is a very expensive hobby; & that you have to be outside...etc, etc. Well, I'm a pro embroiderer and that's not cheap, and I love that. What I'll try is to dabble in it when I stop embroidering in a few years. A girl can dream! TFS.

[@Sylkbuttafly]

Found some resin from China for less than 4.00 for a gallon total

[@suetakoy7351]

Outstanding video with several options! Thank you!

[@annmariebeharie5989]

Excellent video thank you so much for explaining how to use Resin i wanted to try this for so long but was very scared of messing it all up but with your video i am 100 percent sure i can do this thanks again

[@sherrislife2046]

Oh, thank you! I seriously can't wait to get my resin and my Mica powder. I have some Chrome powders I ordered a long time ago from Amazon for my fingernails. It can also be used as eyeshadow. I have a whole bunch of it too so that's awesome to know I can use it. They are really cool colors too, they are chameleons and iridescent powders. So the only thing I think I will need is a heat gun because my hair blower will probably blow it too hard and I will want to manipulate to spread the colors. I want to thank you so much!

[@estherhezghian8770]

The most informative video ever! Thank you so much!!!

[@marymoo9693]

That’s gorgeous

[@curiosdevcookie]

1.) This is absolutely fancy pants a.k.a. a really great tutorial. It has everything one can wish for: a very fine narrator’s voice, your curiosity and joy in doing experimental stuff shines through nicely, and it’s easy to follow your instructions and reasoning - I’m totally wowed! 2.) well, you are awesome. Thank you!

[@08squareeyes08]

thank you for this, I am waiting for my resin to arrive ... and then I can start my first piece ...

[@dianedompierre4488]

Hi Tracy, I’m about to embark in a big resin project for a client and this video will be extremely helpful for me. I have jars to resin to hold candles, coasters and the last but not least a guitar for the husband of the client…. Thank you so much for for this video. Great work. 👏👏👏👏🥳👍

Oh for heaven's sakes, roll on next payday so I can try this!! 😃😃

[@SimplyMichelleTV]

Hilarious! Art supplies are NOT cheap and they are very addictive!

[@zerofuntimes]

hello, very good video. Just be aware for beginners, that a lot of resins (especially art resins) are actually not 1:1 but 2:1. Often you mix twice as much part A to part B. It will tell you on the label, don't assume what ratio to mix.

[@narutosasuke8580]

Great video. Thank you for explaining the steps and showing the process so well from beginning to end.

[@janette1694]

What,a great tutorial- very clear instruction step by step in good detail- thoroughly enjoyed this thank you x

[@Stephanie_R.]

What a great tutorial! It answers a couple of questions I've had about everything that can be used with resin. Thanks for the tip about using eye shadow, nail polish and glitter. It's a great way to start out with resin until I can build some confidence to use the good stuff. 😊

[@josi4251]

Every single time I have tried nail polish -- various colors, brands, etc. -- it turned out horribly. I do not recommend it.

[@lisaalverson1494]

Hi MMG! I’m so glad I have found your channel. I have Zero artists abilities but I’m gonna try this on my next day off. I’ve got my materials ordered. My job is super stressful and I haven’t been able to find too many things to take my mind off work! I’m a Detective. Every night I’ve been watching your videos and you do a great job with them. You are so talented and a good teacher. I can’t wait to try this “Basic” technique. Wish me luck!! Thanks again!

[@MixedMediaGirl]

Good luck ❤❤❤

[@AudeYogi]

Great tutorial

[@crystalpalomino9007]

👍🏼💕 ok IMO this is the best diy / tutorial video I’ve ever seen on KZbin. Everyone thinks they’re awesome but you really taught me so much and created something beautiful. Listen... when you poured that brown color from stone coat countertops it looked like 💩! I’m sorry. But you made something so beautiful out of it and impressed the heck out of me! Girl you are awesome!
