TRIM YOUR ARTWORK
WITH A THIN FRAME
TO HIDE DRIPS ALONG
THE CANVAS EDGE
AND PROVIDE A
FINISHED LOOK.

MAKING WAVES Resin mix, a clean artist
canvas (ours is 24×24 inches), and a few
crafts paints yield art so stunning you can
almost hear the waves crashing, this photo.
Using a separate plastic cup for each color,
combine resin with a few drops of paint in
the following colors: deep blue, teal, light
blue, and white, reserving some clear resin.
For our canvas, we used about 32 ounces
total of mixed resin. Pour stripes or waves
of clear resin on the canvas. Working in
the same direction but keeping the colors
separate, pour the blues and teals onto the
canvas, mixing by finger if desired. Continue
blending the colors with a heat gun. For
sparkle, dust the canvas with teal or blue
glitter. To create the look of foam, spread
thin stripes of white resin, again applying
heat to blend the colors. Cover with a large
box or tub to protect the surface from dust
while it dries flat for at least 24 hours.
