Italian Drip Method
- Run tape around the outside of your artboard to create a dam that you will take off after your resin starts to cure, as this will cover the edges of your board.
- Place out your four cups
- Mix your Passionart 1:1 art resin
- Divide your resin between the four containers
- Add no more than 10% of colour by volume
- Make sure you mix your pigments well into the resin
- Pour out your darker colour first
- Now pour out the remaining colors in the order you choose
- Spread out your colours by tilting your board or by hand
- Leave for 30 to 40 minutes until resin thickens
- Now take tape off from around the outside edge. If it looks a bit thin leave it to cure a few more minutes
- Run your hand around the sides to even out the resin
- Spray the Rustolene over the artwork so its all black
- Now spray or pour Isopropyl alcohol onto your hands and flick over the artwork.
- Well done you have now crafted the Italian Drip effect
