Experiment and explore

Like everything in life, you learn from your mistakes. That's the only way to progress in life as an artist or as a person. That's why I call myself Andy's Art Lab, because I need to try and fail, try and fail again, and keep going until I find what works.
There are so many things you can try with Resin that it would take you estonia phone number example a lifetime to master every possible use of Resin. For me, it keeps me excited to keep trying new things until I get them right. Lately, I have been experimenting with creating waves. I started by putting vinyl on top of the resin, but this was a complete disaster because the resin leaked onto the top of the vinyl I was using to form the waves. The second attempt worked better, but there is still room for improvement. I also learned to back paint the surface white to better show the wave reflections. I then used the same technique but embedded sand, rocks, and shells to create a beach scene that I am very happy with.
Next I will try reversing the technique and instead of creating waves on the surface of the resin I will place the vinyl into the mold to form the wave shape and then place the resin on top of that.
My ArtLab art experiment list keeps growing, one idea begets another.
