Description
Do you ever get tired of just printing and framing your prints? Galleries turning you down because they don’t think photography is exclusive enough? Art shows not accepting your work because they don’t take straight photography? You’ve seen some of these finishes before. Beautiful, thick, high-gloss finishes that make the art pop. Easily elevate your photography pieces to a more custom, one of a kind, mixed media art status. Creating these pieces instantly makes your work more collectible in the art world. Galleries and art collectors love these mixed media custom pieces. You elevate your work beyond just the photograph.
I am so excited to bring you this mini-workshop/masterclass on using the epoxy Art Resin to finish your photography pieces. This is a beautiful way to finish your photography that is a bit less expensive than custom framing and gives you such a dynamic impact for your pieces. These have a high gloss mirror finish and are ready to hang when they are finished. After experimenting for years with different resins, I’ll show you the only resin I now recommend for its superior non-yellowing qualities.
Who is this workshop good for? Photographers, artists, any creatives – who want to learn how to be a bit more creative with finishing their pieces. This technique is excellent for photography and art of all types of mediums.
*The video workshops come with Online access and you can download videos to keep.
Resin – Learn how to finish your prints with Art Resin:
Your workshop includes both video and some written information. This is a mini-masterclass designed to get you completely comfortable working with the Art Resin chemicals and process.
In this workshop we will go over the basics and more:
- I will show you all my tips and tricks for getting a no hassle finish for your art pieces!
- I have included a detailed supply list of everything I show you in this workshop and my reasons for using the supplies I use. You are welcome to experiment with different supplies in your projects to see what you will love using going forward.
- I show you how I finish the sides of my pieces and give you some ideas for other finishes you might experiment with.
- I show you exactly how I mount my photo to my substrate. I encourage you to experiment here also, but after years of experimenting myself – the way I’m showing you in the workshop is really the most simple, least messy, way I have tried over the years!
- I’ll show you how I mix my resins up and how to pour them on your surface. I show you my tips on preventing dust from settling on your resin surfaces and the easiest way to make a “clean” space in your house for the resin pieces to dry damage free.
- I’ll show you how to mount hardware on the back of your pieces so they are ready to hang and my advice on where to put that hardware.
- I’ll also show you how I fix a flaw if one appears after the resin has dried! You’ll love how easy it is to fix instead of thinking your piece is ruined and throwing it out!
- And… to make this really enticing – the products I am using and showing you are non-toxic with No VOCs, No fumes, No solvents, No respirator needed, Non-flammable, and Non-hazardous when used as directed in a well-ventilated area.
- Worried about where you live and if you can get Art Resin? They have it available in the US, UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand that I know of.
Although this workshop is short – just over an hour of video – the tips, tricks, supplies and techniques I’m showing you in this workshop will have you feeling very comfortable creating some of these pieces for your own photography. You’ll love how easy I make this technique for you!
