Gorgeous! I don’t understand why people keep making comments about not being able to hear you on these videos! I have never had a problem hearing you at all and I’m old! 🤣 Thank you so much for your dedication to making these videos. It is a pleasure to watch your amazing talent.
The more I watch you use Resin the more I'm sure this is the direction I want to go...Thank you so much for taking the time to teach! That piece was stunning!
My favorite artist to watch, listen and learn. Relaxing, informative and my good friends live in Adelaide and she sounds just like my friend Lesley!!! lol
Just discovered you on TH-cam. I found it most interesting as I have just started working with resin. Many thanks for your hints and tips. The abstract you have jut done is beautiful, love it. x
I’ve missed you my friend! I’ve had a holiday from resin the last few months - watching you feels like coming home. Love this piece and love your soothing demonstration. Gorgeous work as always! X
You are welcome. I did my first very tile last night based on your video with your lovely 'Bloody Nora' video. It came out well, but I was wondering if you wear a mask. I used Art Resin which is very/no odour, but it is still chemical, so was wondering about a respirator.
JennyD234 That's so wonderful. Congratulations. A respirator would be the safest to use. Even if there's no odour, and you can't smell any fumes, they are still there and they are toxic. Be safe.😘
Beautiful! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial.Some commented that you were hard to hear, I had no trouble hearing you. I have not used resin yet so could you tell me the purpose of using a torch?
Gina Bendall Hi Gina, thank you for your comment. Resin creates a lot of bubbles and the torch is used to pop them as it heats and rises to the surface. Torch or a heat gun are also used to create interesting effects as they move the pigments across each other❤️
just beautiful.. the air tool you use what is the name an where could one buy it also what is the best way to sign my paintings? I sign them in the back with the yr it was done as well as the name of the painting. thank you for your time.
Hello, I really enjoy watching videos on TH-cam so I thank you for doing this. It is a great way to learn. I would like to see microphones used however. I have my computer turned to the max and I still cannot hear. I also notice that when folks do closeups they move the camera too fast and its very difficult to focus and really see the details. Thanks so much. Colleen
That depends on the look I am going for. Sometimes the run-off of the sides looks great and it completes the picture. However Sometimes I like to paint the sides in a particular colour to compliment the artwork. The back of the canvas ( board) , however I always make sure is clean and covered with artist paper, hangers and signature 😉
I wondered what kind of resin you use, but not as important as I think I will not be able to buy it over here in Scotland. Can you do a video on how you construct your canvas.
dermot forte Resin that I use is manufactured here in Australia but you can purchase resin online through ebay, amazon.... As for canvases, I buy them ready made and all I have to to is tighten them at the back to support the weight of resin. However , if you're interested in stretching your own canvas, there are already videos on TH-cam on how to do it. I would not be the best person to teach this 😉Thank you for watching. 😘🤗
Linda Muir I have tried Jo Sonyas acrylics and they seize up very fast. Not sure about the other folk art paints. Most acrylic and oil artist paints work, though. It's just a matter of testing them out in small batches. You can ask this question in my fb group. Fluid Art Community with Suzana Dancks. I'm sure you'll get a better answer there.
Christine Harvey Most definitely. I have over 40 powder pigments in my store which have been tested and are absolutely amazing. www.ecwid.com/store/store12137524/Le-Rez-Mica-Pigments-c27926804
The resin is mixed in 2 parts, thus the 2 liquids. One is an activator, it causes the resin to harden. Thats,why it has be separate until ready to use. It also has to mixed in equal parts and stirred for a period of time to ensure thorough mixing or it won't set properly.
I use MAD Artist resin from Melbourne. I've used it for art as well as sculptures and I love it. It's not as expensive as others so that's even better!😉🤗
Suzana Dancks Le' Rez Expressions thanks Suzana I have used it before and have just finished trying their casting resin 3/1 but found its curing time way too long. Will go back to Artist Resin. 😍
Hollycat50 I used Platnum ultra clear epoxy resin. It took me a while to perfect how to use it but it's very forgiving with heat and allows me to work longer. Thank you so much for your comment 😘
Very nice. I’ve never seen anyone do this before. Seen some acrylic pours but not resin. How do you dry the resin and how long does it take? What does the tour have do?
How much working time do you get with your resin, I’ve just used Master Cast resin and it only gives me 15 minutes which isn’t much. I’m loving your work, thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos,you are a great inspiration x
Canvases are already coated with gesso so all I would recomend is to clean the surface with icopropyl alcohol to remove any oils and impurities 😉 Good luck🤗
+Jane Powers Jane, resin hardens into plastic like surface snd stays glossy. You can also pour clear resin over your acrylic painting and it will give the colors a "lift" as well as a protective gloss finish.
As this was 2 years ago, I'll try not to say too much. I'm primarily looking for colour combo inspiration. It's for a gift & red has to feature. Not my favourite but it's not about me🤷♀️. I am a relative newbie to resin art. It has taken a while to find a resin that I am confident with (or as I ever can be😆). Having nearly given up, I am now looking forward to the fun part. Anyway, my waffle is of no use to you at all. Tyfs & I will check out more of your videos. Did I say I wouldn't say too much? Yikes.😊🐾🐾
Hahaha, you sound like myself when I say," just a quicky" as in ," a quick video"...lol. all good. Not my favorite either but you know what: it's all about getting ideas, seeing mistakes others make and doing a better job. I'm all about inspiration and learning, improving. Go for it, hun! ❤❤❤
Lupe Valdez Hi, I use the air brush to move the resin in a particular way. The heat gun is used to pop the bubbles as well as move resin and create a different effect again.
What kind of resin are you using? Can you tell me the cost? Do you like this over other resin? Love watching you do resin Painting, you do beautiful work!
Karan Ouren Hi Karen, I use Platnum ultra clear epoxy resin and I do prefer it because it not as expensive as the others so I can afford to make a mistake. But the more I use it, the more I learn about it's nature. Thank you so much for your comment 😘
Suzana Dancks Out of extreme curiosity how much do paintings like this cost for a consumer? How much does it cost you to produce THIS painting? Reason I wanted to know is because I've seen what you do start to finish and how much product. (Thanks to you.). But is it worth it if you want to make a living as a pour artist..? by the way why exactly were there so many different heat sources,? please let me know. This is truly the first demo where I thought I might actually be able to do this. You did it in a small space, not much a mess, your timing was really good because I'm handicap and if a project takes to long I won't be able to do it, so you see why this is exciting for me. And very frankly, GORGEOUS!!!
ronnette harvey Hi Ronnette, firstly to congratulate you on thinking about taking on resin as it can be scary for some people not knowing the nature of this medium. I would like to invite you to my fb group where we have so many members who are always ready to assist, some of which have physical disabilities. As a therapist, I focuse on peoples abilities and creative arts are the best way to bring out ones confidance in their abilities. My fb group is called " Fluid Art Community with Suzana Dancks ". You are most welcome to join us, post your questions, and share your art. 🤗😉♥️😙
What type of pigments are you using? I could not hear what you said. Your resin- you mixed it 60 of one and then more of the other part- not equal measures?
I love your technique and I also really enjoy working with resin. I scrolled through the comments and seen the brand of pigment you added to the resin. Do you have a link to the pigment you use? Have you ever tried other pigments or powders? Keep up the good work!
Hi Sue, I've tried many pigment powders and a few pigment pastes but none match Le'Rez pigments. This is my own brand and I've invested quite a lot of time and money into research and this is the Cadillac ( as one of my supporters states) of all pigments and pastes, hehe. www.ecwid.com/store/store12137524/Le-Rez-Mica-Pigments-c27926804
Gorgeous! I don’t understand why people keep making comments about not being able to hear you on these videos! I have never had a problem hearing you at all and I’m old! 🤣 Thank you so much for your dedication to making these videos. It is a pleasure to watch your amazing talent.
Yes this is a wonderful style of art. Using the resin to create art it moves, twist and turns. I'm so amazed. Thank you!! Love it!!🌸
The more I watch you use Resin the more I'm sure this is the direction I want to go...Thank you so much for taking the time to teach! That piece was stunning!
Holly-Anne Awww that's just wonderful. I can't wait to see or hear about your first piece. Looking forward to a happy dance and a cheer 😘💙😉
Holly-Anne c
That's one of the most beautiful paintings I've ever seen!
Thank You Suzana, it is really addictive, i cant stop watching your work, and i cant wait to start my own. I am really happy to find you.
I’m getting excited, it’s looking so yummy with all that luscious color!!
I just love this!!! Beautifully done!!
I like it very cool and soothing to watch, thanks Susan.
My favorite artist to watch, listen and learn. Relaxing, informative and my good friends live in Adelaide and she sounds just like my friend Lesley!!! lol
Very beautiful...thank you.
Wow, thank you. It is beautiful! Thank you for your tips regarding the mix.
It's turn very very beautiful. ❤❤❤
Really like this. Glad you put the curls in, really added interest to the painting.
I like the little whispy lines and glad you also got cells!
What a great video, I learned so much. I love the finished piece!
Love the swirls. Beautiful work!
After watching you I am going to finally open my resin and get started!
This was great..I am amazed at how long the resin is workable, giving un-rushed creativity.
I love this.. thanks for sharing.. You make it look so easy and It's NOT.. but sure am going to try
Totally love those lines, I thought this was a newer video, but now I see it was from a while back, beautiful piece
Very beautiful
wow! guess what I want to try now! thanks, your work looks incredible
So beautiful!!!
This beautiful I wasn’t sure about the red but all worked out awesome and truly!
Gorgeous!!!
I think this is really beautiful, love it and has inspired me to get painting again👍🏻
Haven't look to see what others say, but I love this!
Beautiful!!!
I love it.
Just discovered you on TH-cam. I found it most interesting as I have just started working with resin. Many thanks for your hints and tips. The abstract you have jut done is beautiful, love it. x
Knowing when to stop is truly a test on us all 😊
I am enjoying watching this process and “that red” is gorgeous.
Love it so much!
Totally awesome!
Beautiful!
I’ve missed you my friend! I’ve had a holiday from resin the last few months - watching you feels like coming home. Love this piece and love your soothing demonstration. Gorgeous work as always! X
Thank you. Just beautiful. Could you please let me know how to make cells effect with resin? I love them.
Love it!
lovely!
I find if I put the resin and hardener containers in a very warm water bath before mixing them I get less air bubbles and it mixes so much easier.
One of my absolute favs!
Barbara Franklin Aww. Thank you hunni⚘🌷🌹💜
Beautiful! Thank You!!!
What a lovely manner you have and so inspiring. Really enjoyed your videos. Very interesting and informative.
JennyD234 Thank you so much for your kind words, I truly appreciate your feedback. 🤗♥️

I just watched your video and it is incredible. I really want to try it I was wondering though does the white paint also have resin in it

fantastic work . I love the combination o colors with, but i wonder what kind of color did you use? are they mixed with floatrol? thank you.
Beautiful. I really enjoyed this video. The art piece is stunning!
What a BEAUTIFUL pour!! Thanks for the video! I am SO excited about the possibilities with this (not as 'art work' per se....lol) Thanks again...!
+Terri Juanette That's awesome. I'm so happy for you. 🤗🤗🤗
I am enjoying your videos. Thanks
TheOneBlueFlame Halim It's my pleasure. Thank yoj for your support 😉🤗😁
just beautiful.. the air tool you use what is the name an where could one buy it also what is the best way to sign my paintings? I sign them in the back with the yr it was done as well as the name of the painting. thank you for your time.
Tina Marie Malinowski Thank you. It's an Air Brush and I bought it on ebay😉
Very pretty! Love ❤️ it! Be blessed 😊
Hello, I really enjoy watching videos on TH-cam so I thank you for doing this. It is a great way to learn. I would like to see microphones used however. I have my computer turned to the max and I still cannot hear. I also notice that when folks do closeups they move the camera too fast and its very difficult to focus and really see the details. Thanks so much. Colleen
Amazing
Çok başarılı bir çalışma. Beğendim
Love it thanks so much ,where can you buy the torch gun and other blow thing you used..
Do you put tape around the edge of the canvas to keep it clean or just let it drip
That depends on the look I am going for. Sometimes the run-off of the sides looks great and it completes the picture. However Sometimes I like to paint the sides in a particular colour to compliment the artwork. The back of the canvas ( board) , however I always make sure is clean and covered with artist paper, hangers and signature 😉
Hi Suzana! Love this piece!! Can you tell me.....ho much resin should I make up for a 24 inch round?
Ellen Mac Thank you. This link may help. www.artresin.com/pages/calculator
I wondered what kind of resin you use, but not as important as I think I will not be able to buy it over here in Scotland. Can you do a video on how you construct your canvas.

This is so lovely. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your creative process. I just subbed and am excited to learn more from you! 😀
To use colour in the resin, would I be able to use the FolkArt Acrylic paints? Thank you for this video!
Linda Muir I have tried Jo Sonyas acrylics and they seize up very fast. Not sure about the other folk art paints. Most acrylic and oil artist paints work, though. It's just a matter of testing them out in small batches. You can ask this question in my fb group.

Thank you so much for your quick reply. I will check out your FB group!
Lovely & elegant
Are you using a canvas Suzana? How do you stop it sagging in the middle?
Absolutely gorgeous work.
Do you need to seal or varnish it?
💕❤️💕 beautiful
Beautiful can I has a question? Can powder pigments be used to add colour to the resin?
Christine Harvey Most definitely. I have over 40 powder pigments in my store which have been tested and are absolutely amazing.
www.ecwid.com/store/store12137524/Le-Rez-Mica-Pigments-c27926804
You add two clear liquids at the beginning. What were these two? I figure one is the resin.
The resin is mixed in 2 parts, thus the 2 liquids. One is an activator, it causes the resin to harden. Thats,why it has be separate until ready to use. It also has to mixed in equal parts and stirred for a period of time to ensure thorough mixing or it won't set properly.
When you use resin mixed with paints does it come out shiny like that or do you put another layer of clear resin on top?
You are awesome,
What resin did you use Suzanne. Still trying to find a resin in Australia that is good for art and casting free forms.
I use MAD Artist resin from Melbourne. I've used it for art as well as sculptures and I love it. It's not as expensive as others so that's even better!😉🤗
Suzana Dancks Le' Rez Expressions thanks Suzana I have used it before and have just finished trying their casting resin 3/1 but found its curing time way too long. Will go back to Artist Resin. 😍
Yes. Please advise the brand of resin you used. It seems nice to work with - clear and responsive. Thank you! This piece is truly stunning.
Hollycat50 I used Platnum ultra clear epoxy resin. It took me a while to perfect how to use it but it's very forgiving with heat and allows me to work longer. Thank you so much for your comment 😘
What does torching do to the resin? Can I use a heat gun instead?
Very nice. I’ve never seen anyone do this before. Seen some acrylic pours but not resin. How do you dry the resin and how long does it take? What does the tour have do?
Thank you...for sharing
BERNIE'S Journey Most welcome😍😍😍
did you have to add silicone to get the cells?
How much working time do you get with your resin, I’ve just used Master Cast resin and it only gives me 15 minutes which isn’t much. I’m loving your work, thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos,you are a great inspiration x
Do yo add in hardener to the Resin? No one mentions the hardener???
Beautiful love 💗
Thanks heaps🤗
Do you think the gold would have been more pronounced if you had waited a bit and let the resin dry about 45min.?
Beautiful
Can uh please tell me about the pigment uh use .. is it acrylic paint?
superb
I love it, you are amazing Suzana. I haven't tried the resin yet but am totally going that route. Would using epoxy ink work in the resin work?
Suzana, super explained - beautiful output! Could understand you super well! lovely rgds :-)
art-hibler Aww thank you so much. Means a lot. Truly...😘
How do you prep the canvas? Is there something special that I need to coat the canvases with?
Canvases are already coated with gesso so all I would recomend is to clean the surface with icopropyl alcohol to remove any oils and impurities 😉 Good luck🤗
When you mix your paint with resin does that mean that when the work is dry that it is glossy and protected?
+Jane Powers Jane, resin hardens into plastic like surface snd stays glossy. You can also pour clear resin over your acrylic painting and it will give the colors a "lift" as well as a protective gloss finish.

How kind of you to leave such a lovely reply, much appreciated!😊🐾
@@inspiredcaroline24 my absolute pleasure, sweetie🤗🤗🤗
Beautiful, but can you explain why the use of the air brush and heat gun? What’s the difference between both thanks!

Thank you so much. What is the name of the FB group please.
What was the reason you didn’t want this drip down the sides?
relaxing
Thank you🥰🤗
Beautiful, are you selling the picture, if yes how much..
Please let me know what kind of dryer you used first ?? What’s the name of that ??
Capistrano Decor Hi, that's a heat gun. 😉
What type of pigments are you using? I could not hear what you said. Your resin- you mixed it 60 of one and then more of the other part- not equal measures?
Paula Foltz Hi Paula, I used epixy pigments and the resin was mixed at a 2:1 ratio. 60ml +120mm giving me a total of 180mm
Are you using ink acrylic?
How do you figure out how much resin to prepare for the size of canvas you choose?
You can enter your measurements on this site and it will calculate it for you.
www.justresin.com.au/resincalculator
Are you mixing paint with resin?
Could someone use fiberglass resin? What hardening mix would that need if so? Or just art resin..?
Did you see the beautiful tulip (on the left) at around 36:45 ...?? LOVELY!!
+Terri Juanette Yes! I'm glad someone noticed! Thank tou Terri. Great observation
