So imagine my surprise as I'm searching for tutorials on how to do this resin finish and the video I pick has my old friend Brad from Swallows! Great to see that you are doing well!!
Wear gloves and Eye protection. Place your art on the floor, on a dropcloth for best result of levelness. You can prop it on risers also, like yogurt cups, or coffee cans filled with rocks or sand. Tape edges of canvas to protect, or it may spill on the sides. You can also not cover sides, and use your glove to paint the sides in resin lightly. Pour Part A + B together in equal parts, mix in a cup thoroughly for 3-4 minutes, pour and spread it on the artwork, from center outward with scraper, which needs to be level or the resin won't be even. Try to push it just to the edge, so its not dripping off, but just suspended there. Wipe off if it goes over the side. Use a flame torch to pop bubbles if desired, like a torch from 12" away. You have 30 minutes until it hardens. Let it cure at least 24 hours, Covered in cardboard tents, so no dust gets on, and your good to go.
Absolutely superb work! Thanx for trying this product.Just bought it and you have given me the courage to try it out! Thanks so much! Ps your garage is cleaner than my home ! Deb S.
I'm about to try this but my plan is to do that first layer and then to do a very thick layer on top of it. But I can't decide if I should just do the a big layer all at once. If it was just wood you would do a small layer and then a big one and then a small one . Random but have you been to The Narrows in Utah? It's one of the most interesting hikes I've ever been on and they can go pretty much as long as you want it to go because it never ends. A lot of it is walking through water, but the like the colors of the walls are gorgeous. And the way the light breaks through the ravine like way above you and it just like it gives you sight after sight after sight and never ends
You can either tape the edges to prevent it from spilling over or you can just let it drip over but wipe it off with your finger over and over until it's not dripping anymore.
Great work!! How do you prevend the epoxy to shift back from the edges to the middle? Mine look perfect at the start and by the time its dry the edges come free from epoxy. It's not as tight as Id like it to be be
Great work for sure, love the way they came out. I never used resin before but heard of it so I looked it up and this is the first video I clicked on. I do have a question. Did u have to do anything to your canvas before adding the resin so it doesn’t bleed or anything?
Yes this is the major problem with resin. You have to put a box or some sort of covering on it so you don't get any dust specs or bugs landing on the finished resin
I just painted an abstract painting using flat and gloss paint so it has an interesting look to it. Ifor I pour a resin over it will it turn everything to a gloss or will it stay the same with a glass hard shell on it?
Hi I just watched your video, your photos are amazing and the demonstration was easy to follow. I have watched a number of videos recently and some presenters have stated that resin yellows over time. I'm hoping this isn't always true. Do you know how art resin performs in the long term. Is there any yellowing?
Resin and hardener are manufactured to exact specifications. That said why don't you use a scale that has different weight measurements for example grams because that's more accurate than ounces. So if you had 200 grams of resin and just add 200 grams of hardener and mix it in "one container" that would be more accurate then scraping a container
i love those pictures! you were very helpful on some questions i had on resin. how did you know how much resin to mix up for that size picture? oh i also love the cars behind you!!
Hey Brad, is there a concern about the apoxy yellowing over time? I did my first poor and it looked pretty good. But somebody told me I should put a polyurathane over to protect it from yellowing. Have you heard of this?
if i wanted to do this over a poster the thing im afraid of will it make the print bleed and look distorted never done resin art before but wanted to try it on a toy box for my grandkids
Nice photos! The resin really makes for a beautiful finish. I can't quite tell in the video, and maybe you mentioned it and I missed it, but did you let the resin naturally drip over the edges or did you brush around the edges or did you tape off the edges and remove the tape leaving the edges sans resin? Hardened resin drippings are an issue for me and I'm just looking for ways to minimize the after-mess. Thanks for sharing, your photos are top notch!
I had a go. Followed your advice and am thrilled. BUT. There are quite a few gaps. Can I overlay with another coat sometime to get it totally covered? Would that work. I don't want to ruin the painting. Thanks, Jenny
resin can be applied in multiple coats, and sometimes is required depending on how thick you want the resin layer, and the drying time of the resin being used. if you're encountering gaps once cured, it may be due to several factors- if the painting is on canvas that is not re-enforced, or the mixed resin parts were allowed to sit too long before applying to surface, etc. check this page for prep tips: www.artresin.com/blogs/artresin/surface-preparation-before-applying-epoxy-resin
Thanks for the tutorial Brad. OK we tried some test versions (Luckily!). For reasons we don't understand the photograph colors stated running under the resin. We thought it was the heat gun but alas no as we tried another test with no heat gun? We tried clear coating the pics but this made little difference before the resin the previous day. The prints were not new so it's not a case of wet ink. What do you think it could be?
@@Bradscottvisuals I had the same problem - I had purchased my photos from Walmart - the way that they are developed is the problem - the resin seems to dissolve the colour - switched to a different photofinisher and problem solved
Great work! I’ve had a problem that some of my photos faded over a short time after coated in resin. They were printed at a pharmacy. Do you have any idea why?
I have used the Devcon brand epoxy for Salt water fly tying. It yellows after some time exposure to the sun. Now that it has been a while, do you experience any yellowing or the coating not being clear anymore?
I wanted to buy this product but need help in figuring out how much I need. I would like to coat 4 12x16 pictures, would the 32oz kit work? BTW your photos and canvas prints are amazing.
Enjoyed the video! I make frames like those that your images are mounted to. Do you make your own or do you purchase them? I have a starter set of the resin on the way. Can't wait to give it a go! David
I wanted to use this method for my photographs because I absolutely adore how it brings out the colors but then I realized that I didn't like how much glare it came from it. I'm so troubled about what to do! Is this an archival method? Thank you!

Bri Brown how's it going. hope all is well. are you doing some art?

Thank you for this
Thanks you very much, especially for the tape on the side idea.
Would not put it on the floor. In a garage, the concrete is sloped to drain out water... you'd need to create a level work surface.
He paints the sides with resin-no need for tape.
This was very helpful, thank you! Your photography is amazing as well.
Makes it look so much better and no need for glass.
Thanks, I just bought resin and I am so scared. I love that you explain everything so well. TFS
Amazing images all by themselves and the resin made them pop! Beautiful.
you make it look so easy, your one chilled guy.
Wow... first of all great pics!!! thank you very helpful I'm doing my first today!
Beautiful Photography, loveeee it!
Absolutely superb work! Thanx for trying this product.Just bought it and you have given me the courage to try it out! Thanks so much! Ps your garage is cleaner than my home ! Deb S.
Thank u so much for this! Love the art and tutorials it really helped me❤❤

It's all how you market your work. Excited to try this product.
Thanks for the Art Resin lesson, love your photography!
Spectacular photos and work!!
That came out really nice!
Your video is very helpful. I’m going to try it on my pyrography engraved artwork.
Your garage looks like the perfect environment for this. Dust has been a struggle for me. Might have to build some kind of enclosure.
same here i am scared of the space i am working with haha
Totally brilliant! Superb 'Art Resin' finish.
Loved your video. The affect of your photos after the art resin was put on. Thank you for sharing
Thanks Brad. Love your work
Great video bro! Awesome epoxy resin tutorial that could be used for any application. Big thumbs up!
Omg this video is fantastic. And you’re easy on the eyes, to boot! 😂💯💯💯✅
this is the easiest explanation, thank you and i love your pictures!!!
These are awesome! The Antelope Canyon picture is great! From the angle you shot it the large rock in front looks like the face of an antelope👏👏👏😊
Beautifully demonstrated thank you impressed by you beautifully ordered garage as well, you will be successful at whatever you do is what I think!
His Missus is going to have a fit when she is looking for her towels! Expensive on towels!
Beautiful work
Your artwork was already WOW but with the resin its like OMG WOW AMAZING PHENOMINAL !!!!!!!!!
Thanks Brad this was super helpful
Could you tell me again the side of the canvases and the ounces you used to do both canvases using Part A and Part B?
Awesome video!
By far best tutorial thank you
thanks brad!! brilliant video really helped me out
Cool pictures love it your fan jaafar
Awesome vid! Thank you so much!
Really beautiful
That art is great
That looks awesome!

I just saw your message, how was your job? It works? Normally you don’t apply thick layer cause can crack but now I m curious about your try !
Looks Amazing!
love your work
your photography is killer.
Great work!
awsm video.... sir can i use it on oil painting portrait
Beautiful!! Do you have to have a heat gun?
video is simple and to the point. Are the frames heavier after resin? Sands of time is awesome! Good work Brad!
Thanks for the informative video.
Good demo. So you have to wrap tape around all edges before pouring to prevent it dripping over. Thanks!
You can either tape the edges to prevent it from spilling over or you can just let it drip over but wipe it off with your finger over and over until it's not dripping anymore.
Seeing them from the distance on the wall would have been nice
Great work!! How do you prevend the epoxy to shift back from the edges to the middle?
Mine look perfect at the start and by the time its dry the edges come free from epoxy.
It's not as tight as Id like it to be be
I like this one too. I have to find time to do all this stuff I want to do before I go...not enough time.
Great work for sure, love the way they came out. I never used resin before but heard of it so I looked it up and this is the first video I clicked on. I do have a question. Did u have to do anything to your canvas before adding the resin so it doesn’t bleed or anything?
Yes looks great but I always seem to get little dust speck .... what to do?
Yes this is the major problem with resin. You have to put a box or some sort of covering on it so you don't get any dust specs or bugs landing on the finished resin
Nice work!
Amazing work!!!
What glue did you use for the photos?
How much is dust an issue with this process?
Hi, Beautiful photos!!
Just wondering..... Can resin be used to cover artwork done in soft pastels, oil pastels and graphite?
You would have to apply a sealer over the work prior so they dont run or bleed
I use a heat gun to pop the bubbles. Do you have any feelings towards using the heat gun verse the flame?
I just painted an abstract painting using flat and gloss paint so it has an interesting look to it. Ifor I pour a resin over it will it turn everything to a gloss or will it stay the same with a glass hard shell on it?
can I ask you questions about your prints did you need to add anything to the photos for protection before putting resin over them?
Hi I just watched your video, your photos are amazing and the demonstration was easy to follow. I have watched a number of videos recently and some presenters have stated that resin yellows over time. I'm hoping this isn't always true. Do you know how art resin performs in the long term.

Great photos. Question: when I frame my photos with glass, I use non reflective. I'm just wondering how reflective the resin is? Thanks. 👍
Resin and hardener are manufactured to exact specifications. That said why don't you use a scale that has different weight measurements for example grams because that's more accurate than ounces. So if you had 200 grams of resin and just add 200 grams of hardener and mix it in "one container" that would be more accurate then scraping a container
Did you apply varnish before resin?
Great video & phenomenal results! What is the temperature requirement for Art resin? I usually use Stone coat but these results with 1 coat are 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Would this be good for black and white photos made with the Holga camera. The images will be soft focus.
i love those pictures! you were very helpful on some questions i had on resin. how did you know how much resin to mix up for that size picture? oh i also love the cars behind you!!
Great video! Where do you get your photos printed onto canvas?
Hey Brad, is there a concern about the apoxy yellowing over time? I did my first poor and it looked pretty good. But somebody told me I should put a polyurathane over to protect it from yellowing. Have you heard of this?
What is the liquid used on the canvas ? Just tell the name of bottle plz
which brand do you use to glue your picture and which sealant do you use to prep your photo before putting resin on it?
Hi! Can i use it to protect art work in a cell phone case?
very beautiful, whether the canvas used is matte or glossy?
Thank you! These were glossy canvas
Thanks for sharing this video! Your photographs are amazing!! How much do those prints go for?
if i wanted to do this over a poster the thing im afraid of will it make the print bleed and look distorted never done resin art before but wanted to try it on a toy box for my grandkids
Seal it with mod podge first then coat it in the resin
How to Resin your artwork and photography
#art #resinart #resin #artresin #photography
bradscottphotography what exactly was the surface you did the resin on? Was this something artbeats printed for you and you just resin over top of?
bradscottphotography I️ would love to get some of my photo printed and do this. Just trying to find out the method you are using
I just subscribed, thanks for sharing! can I use this over spray painted poster paper and foam poster board?
great video! thanks!
How many oz are in the bottle?
I have a big picture 4 ' x 5 ' . I need to do this, but trying to figure out how much to make. Thank you 4 your help!
What kind of photo you use sir. Vinyl or paper
It is better than framing,
Can you glaze transparencies?
I recognize that rock! That’s in Bryce Canyon right?
Nice photos! The resin really makes for a beautiful finish. I can't quite tell in the video, and maybe you mentioned it and I missed it, but did you let the resin naturally drip over the edges or did you brush around the edges or did you tape off the edges and remove the tape leaving the edges sans resin? Hardened resin drippings are an issue for me and I'm just looking for ways to minimize the after-mess. Thanks for sharing, your photos are top notch!
Thank you Andrea. I usually just wipe the edges with my finger or a rag while it's drying and do it multiple times until it stops dripping
Can you use resin on items that have been coated with acrylic varnish?
I had a go. Followed your advice and am thrilled. BUT. There are quite a few gaps. Can I overlay with another coat sometime to get it totally covered? Would that work. I don't want to ruin the painting. Thanks, Jenny

Is the base canvas or wood?
Great work! I’ve had a problem that some of my photos faded over a short time after coated in resin. They were printed at a pharmacy. Do you have any idea why?
@Patrick Kadian You need to seal the Photo to protect it from the Resin (which he didn't show).
I have used the Devcon brand epoxy for Salt water fly tying. It yellows after some time exposure to the sun. Now that it has been a while, do you experience any yellowing or the coating not being clear anymore?
so what was a better quality the metal print or the art resin when it was finished??
Will it not yellow?
Hey I have a question. Does coating your painting in resin yellow over time?
I hear that thin layers hardly yellow. What has been your experience?
Would it be wise to resin work and clear gloss spray it down?
I wanted to buy this product but need help in figuring out how much I need. I would like to coat 4 12x16 pictures, would the 32oz kit work? BTW your photos and canvas prints are amazing.
Hello .may I know epoxy resin and lacquer hardener same thing .
Enjoyed the video! I make frames like those that your images are mounted to. Do you make your own or do you purchase them? I have a starter set of the resin on the way. Can't wait to give it a go! David
Thank you for the tutorial. Does this resin come in satin or matte finishes? If so, would/have you used those as opposed to the shiny used here?
I wanted to use this method for my photographs because I absolutely adore how it brings out the colors but then I realized that I didn't like how much glare it came from it. I'm so troubled about what to do! Is this an archival method? Thank you!
