 Back in the studio, studio, studio. So a client of ours wanted a resin red, black, and white piece. So we did a test, obviously. And B didn't really like it, so we kind of just ran his fingers through it. And then we set it on a slant. And it turned out like this. And client liked the test. So now we're doing a, what is this, 24 by 24? 24 by 24 actual painting. And it's been a while since we've done a painting, painting with resin. So I'm excited because it's a big piece. Yeah. To me, red always looks like bloodshed. But you know what? I know you can make it beautiful. So as usual, we are taping off the bottom. We have our pushpin set in, and it's level already. So after we get the painting done, we're going to wait a few hours and pull the tape off. I have a one minute tutorial right here. So you can see all the things that we say about taping off the bottom. Basically, it makes for a clean base bottom underside words of your painting without having to stand it off or cut the drips off after the painting's done. Before we resin this, we prepped it as directed in this tutorial. And then so it won't dip in the middle like it resins heavy. So if you do a pour, it's going to dip in the middle. But we prepped it so that the odds that happening are less because we basically just tightened the canvas. And then after that, we just spray painted a design of red because the colors for this piece are red and black and white. For this piece, we're going to use our go-to resin and Viritex light. Focus, focus. And for the paint we're using, what kind of paint are we using? I think I just want to use that because you like those colors. OK, so acrylic white. And my mural paint markers. I don't know if that's available in most crafts or hobby stores. You may have to order that. We got ours from a local shop called Azel. I don't know if that's like a national store. So for this piece, it looks like we're using almost 20 ounces. Our resin is a one-to-one, which means it's equal parts resin to hardener. And make sure that you pour according to the box that you get your resin out of because some are two-to-one, some are four-to-one. And everything in the middle, which is one option, obviously. So make sure you mix it evenly and thoroughly. Like right now, you can see little swirls in it. For this amount, we'll probably mix for almost three minutes. Make sure you mix and scrape the bottom and the sides and the stir stick in order to make sure that there are no weak spots left in your resin because it is a pain when everything sets beautifully. And there's one spot that decides that it's going to just be a sticky mess forever and ever. You're going to see bubbles. Don't worry about that. We'll address those later with the heat. What did I say, flameery? No, maybe I should have gloves on as a helper. We always put a little bit of clear down. This helps the resin to flow over your surface more easily. And also, if you have painted some kind of design on the bottom of it, this helps so you can see it. Because if you just have opaque paints mixed in your resin, then you're not going to be able to see through it at all. So it doesn't have to be a thick coat. Anything that, what's the word? Different words for different. No, but just put your hand in there and scoop out it. Yeah, it doesn't have to be a lot just enough to, I don't want to say moisten because that's a formal word. But that's basically what it is. You want me to take your bracelet off? Are you good? You can just dig like this with this bottom. This resin in particular has about a 30, 45 minute working time. And you warm this resin up, right? Yes and no, not this particular, but it wasn't normal. Oh, yeah, you did the test first. Doesn't take much pigment to dye your resin. Start with a little bit and add a little bit at a time to make sure you get the opacity that you want. It doesn't smell like the smell of when the paint hits it. The resin doesn't smell, but when the paint mixes it. Changes the science? I did notice that if you put paint in here and you let it settle to the bottom, it does not mix very well. So mix the paint as soon as you put it in there because it will settle at the bottom and it'll stick to the cup and it will not want to mix Did it leave chunks in the surface? No, it just took forever to mix it. Let me know if I need to set this down and mix more resin. Don't cut it short. Two color puddle. Mix the black for a clear. It's definitely a different color red, though. When you say different, like you mix literally a different color. Spray paint with a different color when it looks ugly. I just did that. Torch it, tilt it. Do you want black? Kind of black, do you want to use an ink? I don't know what you want me to do with that. Are you happy with this? No, but I don't know what you want me to do with black. Well, I was going to mix more red. I'll have a lot of black. I mean, you just don't want it. Motion. Yeah, I think you should put something dark. I don't know, because I don't want it to look like a bullseye, but I feel like it should have some darkness to it. I like that. It almost looks like a rose. I love this, like that white edge. Look how amazing that looks. Get real quick one more time because you just did it. Is that a chunk of paint or an air bubble?
