 What's up you guys so today? I'm going to teach you how to do a dirty pour with resin now for this I'm going to use my favorite resin art coat by stone coat countertops and For this piece. I'm going to mix up four ounces of resin and since this is a one-to-one Ratio resin which means you do equal parts of both I'm going to do two ounces of part a and two ounces of part B I start with the part B in the mixing cup first Because it is thinner and is less likely to stick to the walls of my mixing cup Which will make it easier for me to incorporate the part a and part B completely together Which will Mean that it'll be less likely to give me weak spots in my final piece Now this canvas is a 10 by 10 and I have some resin colors already pre-mixed from another piece that I did that I may end up using as well because I love Love dark turquoise and also hot pink. So This resin on the bottle says that I need to mix it for three minutes to fully incorporate it you also need to make sure that you scrape the sides the bottom and The stir stick that you're using this is to ensure that you have no weak spots in your final piece You also really want to make sure that you use a Graduated mixing cup like this one that gives you Measurements so you can make sure that you do the proper ratio of your resin because if you do too much of one or the other You will end up with a resin that either never sets or sets up too fast and this resin gives you at least 75 minutes working time. I've worked it well over two hours before and that is really valuable Since resins as it's intimidating as it is and you really want to make sure you have as long as possible to work with your resin So you can take your time and you'll be less likely to make any mistakes Now while you're mixing your resin, you'll notice these little bubbles pop up that is perfectly fine You're gonna hit those with heat later and your heat can either be a heat gun or a torch I'd advise against a blow dryer because it's gonna blow too much air and not enough heat to pop these bubbles without disrupting your design so once you have your Resin all mixed up and incorporated it'll be more clear with I mean given this is gonna have bubbles, but that's fine You won't see any swirls where the two parts haven't really connected make sure That you're scraping the sides and the bottom and your stir stick Periodically, so once you have this all mixed up you can start mixing your colors. I Am going to use all pastes today and these are paints that are made specifically for resin and That just means it'll mix in really easily To my resin and won't give me any chunks or little tadpoles or freckles of paint You want to pour into your little mixing cups as much resin as you want specific colors to be represented so I know that I want half a cup represented of my Midnight blue Here this is from just resin. It's a paste I'm gonna make sure I mix it up just a little bit to make sure that everything's incorporated in my paint Some paste have a tendency to separate after being on the shelf for a little while Kind of like ketchup or peanut butter will separate If it's on the shelf for a little bit Which it's still good to use. You just have to shake it or mix it or whatever So I've got my Midnights I'm going to mix also some blue diamond from just resin and then I have the dark turquoise and Hot paint that I mixed earlier And just as when you mix your party and part B together and scrape the bottom The sides and your stir stick you want to do that when you mix your paints as well because You don't want any Chunks stuck to the side or to your stir stick or to anything you want it all to be evenly mixed And it doesn't take long to mix your pastes or extra fine like art micas into your resin because that's what it's made to do You can use acrylic paints if you like just make sure you Strain them so that you get any dry chunks of paint out of it You can use basically any paint you want to I would stay away from oil based paints though because they tend to You know oil paints never really dry and they can also Give your painting divots or fish eyes and that's not really Very attractive in a resin painting I'm also going to mix in some bling it This is a powder from resin art All of these paints you can find on our website artists till death comm This is just basically a mother pearl looking powder It's a very sparkly very beautiful this one has a Blue interference to it Whenever you mix the powder into your resin be very careful not to breathe it in most micas are not safe to breathe in just because micas are Basically ground up stone and color and it's just not good to breathe in from any brand So let's get this painting going. I always put down a thin layer of clear and this is because it will make my tinted resin flow across the surface of my Substrate canvas or board or whatever have you more easily If you've ever worked with watercolor or alcohol ink Then you are very familiar with this idea Make sure your hands are free of paint or you're going to get a splotch like that one right there That's fine on this because we're not doing a negative space We're going to do a dirty pour and now essentially what a dirty pour is is you mix your colors up and then you pour all of them Into another cup and Then you pour out that cup over your surface and it looks a lot like ribbon candy to me and It's very popular Technique use in resin paintings I'm going to hit the canvas with a little bit of heat to pop the bubbles that we mixed in earlier and Make sure I have no raw spots Where there's just dry canvas showing through And now when you do a dirty pour It's very important that you don't let those colors sit in the cup too long And that's because they'll start to incorporate with each other and get a little bit muddy. So I'm going to start building my color I'm going to use Some white that I mixed earlier. This is white from the brand just resin and a little bit of stone coat base tint I'm going to use My midnight blue I'm going to use some hot pink from just resin Then I'm going to put some bling it. I like to pour thick puddles of Color because if you pour thinner, then the colors are going to be really busy on your canvas Then I'm going to use some dark turquoise from color obsession and then more whites and Then the blue diamond from just resin And a little bit more hot pink just to brighten up the palette a little bit So now I have a full cup Of color I'm going to give it just a little swirl Just to make the colors more interesting when I start pouring them out And I'm going to tilt the canvas just a little bit Just to give the paint something to run to Hit it with some heat. You can see these little cells popping up It's a very desirable and resin art and I'm just going to tilt these colors around Get my design flowing. I just want to tilt to the corner and pull it back And these are going to stretch the colors across the canvas And should give us a really nice design You can also hit areas that you want to move faster with a little bit of heat You can use a torch or a heat gun and that'll just make them flow more quickly Like down here in this corner, they're not really going that fast and then I hit it with some heat and they're It's off the side Again, I hit some areas just a little bit more heat to create A different kind of pattern since it was kind of solid down there in the bottom And I'm really looking for only the areas to move that I'm adding the extra heat to Which is an awesome trait of really good resin with a thick viscosity Really want to be careful when using a torch that you don't scorch your resin If you do you're going to have a lot of cleanup to do Once your piece is set up, it'll leave kind of a scab texture Let's go down this way You're going to hit it with a little bit more heat to make sure we popped all the bubbles We'll revisit tomorrow And see how this piece set up Till then thanks for watching y'all. Bye So here are the pieces of the next day They set up lovely as you can see. Sorry that's my finger hitting the bottom of it Slight glitter from the bling it I do still have to finish up the sides, but Very cool looking piece for sure
