Welcome to Day 7 of our 100 Days 100 Designs challenge! Today, we’re excited to share our latest creation – an abstract resin artwork featuring beautiful cell formations and vibrant colors.
Materials Used:
1. Ply Sheet (MDF recommended)
2. BohriAli Tape
3. White Gesso / Universal Primer
4. Black Acrylic Paint
5. Prime Art Resin (2:1)
6. Opaque Pigments: Persian Blue, White, Red, Pastel Pink, Brown, Aqua
7. Plastic Bottle
Step-by-Step Process:
1. Preparing the Surface:
• We started with a ply sheet (MDF would be better and more economical).
• Ensured the surface was level using a level meter.
• Taped the sides to prevent resin overflow.
• Painted the surface with a mix of white gesso and black acrylic paint.
2. Pouring the Base Layer:
• Poured Prime Art Resin (2:1) mixed with Persian blue opaque pigment over the painted surface.
3. Creating the Central Pour:
• Cut the end of a plastic bottle and placed it in the middle of the surface.
• Mixed different pigments with resin in separate cups.
• Poured the resin mixtures in the middle of the cut plastic bottle in the following order: white, red, pink, brown, aqua, and finished with a little white.
4. Forming the Petals:
• Removed the plastic bottle and allowed the resin to flow slightly (Prime Art Resin’s high viscosity limits flow).
• Used a candy stick to create petal-like formations by running it through the resin.
5. Creating Cells:
• Used a heat gun or hair dryer to blow over the resin, creating beautiful cells and adding an abstract look.
