Hey there, Epoxy Pros! In these extraordinary times, what's better than exploring a new passion? And we've got just the thing - 3D resin painting! It's like opening a magic door to a world where art literally pops out at you.
The Birth of 3D Resin Art 🌟
Did you know this art form started with the stunning work of Riusuke Fukahori? He's not just an artist; he's a goldfish wizard, creating mesmerizing layers of resin and acrylic that bring these little swimmers to life. His work inspired many more as seen in the image above by resin artist @jenuonefauxpond. It's a patience game, but hey, aren't the best things in life worth waiting for?
What You'll Need 🛠️
To start your 3D resin painting journey, you'll need a bit more than just enthusiasm (although that's super important too!):
- Safety first: Gloves, goggles, and a mask
- Art tools: Brushes, acrylic paint, a container or mold, and a heat gun to zap those pesky bubbles
- The main star: Epoxy resin, measuring cups, and stir sticks
Steps to Create Your Masterpiece 🎨
- Measure and mix your epoxy for each layer. Take it slow, one layer at a time.
- Pour and tilt the resin to cover your base.
- Use a heat gun to remove bubbles (like a pro!).
- Let it cure and start painting your first layer.
- Clean off any smudges, then layer up with more resin.
Repeat these steps, build your layers, and watch as your 3D masterpiece comes to life!
