I absolutely love making poured resin art, and this project was no exception! Today I’m going to show you how I experimented with acrylic paints and resin and how I created this beautiful shiny piece of metallic poured resin art on canvas.

Supplies:

  • Art Canvas
  • Envirotex Lite 
  • Metallic acrylic paints
  • Disposable Cups and Stir Sticks
  • Vinyl gloves
  • Eye protection
  • Cookie Sheet, plastic wrap and parchment paper (surface to catch excess resin, you could also use a cardboard box.)
  • Spare blocks of wood or something to elevate your canvas
  • paint brushMetallic Poured Resin Art on Canvas_supplies

 

Prepare Surface:

The first step is to protect your table or floor by creating a surface to catch the excess resin after the pour. I used an old cookie sheet, covered it in plastic wrap, then added a layer of parchment paper. This worked very well and was easy to clean up when I was done. Metallic Poured Resin Art on Canvas_prepare surface

Next, you’ll want to elevate your canvas onto a couple of scraps of wood or something that is disposable. The excess resin may make contact with these and you will want to just throw them out. Another thought would be plastic cups or old containers that you can toss.Metallic Poured Resin Art on Canvas_ elevate canvas

Mix and Color Resin:

Envirotex Lite comes with great instructions on mixing, so be sure to read those. Put on your gloves and eye protection and get ready to mix.Metallic Poured Resin Art on Canvas_prepare to mix resin

 

Add equal parts of A and B into a disposable measuring cup.Metallic Poured Resin Art on Canvas_mix equal amounts of parts A and B

Next, stir this completely until it is clear and no longer cloudy. Pour various amounts of the mixed resin into three other cups for coloring.Metallic Poured Resin Art on Canvas_pour into separate cups

Use stir sticks or paint brushes to add the metallic acrylic paint to your resin. Be sure to only use as much as you need for the color, the less paint the better for the resin to cure later on. Stir the paint and resin thoroughly. Use clean stir sticks to do a final stir.Metallic Poured Resin Art on Canvas_add paint coloring

Pour Resin:

Once you have each color mixed, you are going to what is often called a “dirty pour”. Pick one color to be your base, then pour different amounts of the other colors in a little at a time. Metallic Poured Resin Art on Canvas_pour three colors into one cup

Once they are in, stir just one time to add variety to the layers.Metallic Poured Resin Art on Canvas_stir mix once

Tip the canvas slightly to spread the resin across the entire thing. Then, pour any excess resin from each cup making a pattern over the base layer.

Here, I opted to use a stir stick and drag it through the resin creating a unique look, but that’s just up to the artist, you!Metallic Poured Resin Art on Canvas_drag stick through resin to create pattern

Use a micro-butane torch to pop any bubbles. You can also exhale over the entire thing and it will pop bubbles, the micro torch is just much faster.

Once you have fulfilled your artistic desires, let the resin set for 24 hours. It will continue to shift and change a little before it totally sets.

Finished:

And there you have it. A beautiful piece of art on canvas that can be hung anywhere you want in your home. I just love the sparkle and shine that the metallic paints added.
