Easy epoxy resin beach art, using real sand!

- In this video, I show you how super easy it is to create an Epoxy Resin Beach, complete with real sand and shells. I will show you how you too, can achieve the white surf.
The inspiration for these two beach pieces came from sitting on the beach with my family. I wanted to give them a little something to remind them of their trip from the UK to Australia. By using real Western Australian sand, not only do they have something to remind them of their journey, they have a bit of Australia in their home.
Firstly, I painted the board white to give it a good clean surface to help the colours stand out. Once dry (I waited a few days), I began by mixing the sand with a touch of resin.
Making sure I had covered the sand with enough resin, I then poured it directly onto the board and using a stick, spread it about to cover the bottom portion of the board.
Next, I mixed enough resin for two boards (I had two on the go) and separated it into three cups and added colour pigments, Jade, Teal and Sapphire Blue into each of the containers. Starting with the lightest colour, I poured the resin onto the boards, then gently blended them with my fingers to give a ripple effect.
Once both boards were covered, I then mixed a smaller batch of clear resin and placed a small amount into a separate cup and mixed it with a touch of white pigment paste.
Following the shape of the waves, I first poured the clear resin in lines, being careful not to overdo the clear resin and immediately, added a touch of white resin for the foam.
Using my heat gun on the high setting, I then blew the resin to disperse it and let it settle to form the wispy waves.
By using clear resin first, it prevents the white from mixing with the blue layers and keeps it apart. It also allows the sand to show through for a subtle effect.
Finally, a selection of shells was added for a bit of interest.
For this project, I used the following items:
• Placemat from Kmart (Australia)
• Sand for the shores of Western Australia
• Liquid Glass Resin from U Resin: bit.ly/LiquidGlassResin
• Colour Obsession Pigment - Teal
• Artisue Pigment - Jade
• Artisue Pigment - Sapphire
• Le Rez Expressions - Angel White: bit.ly/lerezmatpaste
• Shells

I hope this video has sparked your creativity and has inspired you to create your own Epoxy Resin Beach Art, complete with real sand. - Jak na to + styl
I agree with everybody else - these are stunning! The seafoam is so realistic and mesmerizing. I'd love to have a triptych of these. It's so relaxing to look at them. Thank you for posting! Blessings on you & yours & all who read this!
I am planning to do a triptych of this very soon. :-)
Phenomenal work, the colors, the technique, everything is outstanding. You’re amazing and thanks for sharing!
Thank you and you're welcome 💕
Wonderful tutorial thank you so much, never would have thought about using clear to better discern wave lines
Glad it was helpful! 😁

Thank you and you're very welcome 💕
This is amazing. Your techniques will help with my own beach art. Thank you for sharing.
Glad to be of assistance 💕
You are a true artist Sue, thank you for sharing your talent. My autistic son was watching over my shoulder then he laid his head down on me, positively captivated. I had him out kayaking with dolphins by age 2 so the beach has deep meaning for us. You have inspired me, I will make a couple of these pieces for him. xx :)
How lovely, your son will adore them. 💕
These are beautiful, thanks for the inspiration Sue.
You're very welcome 💕
This is amazing. I love how you made the white look like actual seafoam! I can't wait to see more from you. Thank you!
Thank you 💕
@karenredmond5237, AGREE... my exact response to the seafoam technique !
i would love to make one of these some day soon! never done anything like it, but these are beautiful!
Thank you 💕
Espectacular, enhorabuena por tu trabajo, y gracias por compartirlo.
Gorgeous!!
Thank you 💕
Beautiful work, Sue! You have a great talent. New subscriber. :)
Thank you Jeff 💕
Do you ever do your pieces in layers, one day sand next day water then another layer of water? It will give more depth to your lovely pieces.
♥ You really have made this look easy
(I'm sure it's not)
First video I've seen that makes me feel like I could do this, thank you :-)
Thank you 💕 the trick is to not over work it 💕
Absolutely gorgeous!!🙂
Thank you 💕
Amazing !!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you 💕
Love your too
Love your tutorials. So easy to follow. Did you use it on a board or placemat. Your list said placemat. If it’s a placemat, love that idea. I look forward to your videos. I learn so much and it inspires me. I am a newbie in resin. My medium is acrylic painting. Thank you.
I did use a placemat, quite often I use the placemats when I am experimenting. 💕
Thank you for your quick reply. I will try it on placemat. Sandy
This is the first time I've seen anything like this, and I just fell in love! What an amazing talent you have. What type of a tint to you use to dye the resin, and what are people referring to when they ask about "cells"?
Thank you 💕 Firstly, I have listed all of the products used in the description below the video. Cells and lacing refers to the way the white breaks up to reveal the colours below.
Oooooh, I love this!
Thank you 💕
Love this tutorial. To the point! Beautiful!
Thank you 💕
Gorgeous!
I’m guessing you add a way to hang it up before you create the art? I would love to have a bunch of these.
Thank you 💕 I glue a hanger d-ring to the back, using resin. I do this after I have created it, so I know which way is up.
Hi Sue, do the cells appear because of the pigment you used or is it from the resin? Great piece! I would love to try this!
It is a combination of both, I have found the Le Rez Angel White paste to be the best for making cells and lacing. Heat plays a big factor also, I find it more difficult in the winter to achieve cells and lacing. So the use of a blow torch definitely helps. Just be careful not to burn your resin when using heat. Plus, always wear the appropriate safety gear when torching. The thicker your resin, the harder it is to achieve cells and lacing as well.
What did you put in the paint for it to make cells
@@SueFindlay o
@@debramoran7064 I've read that you can use a generic white with the addition of a little bit of a silicon spray to make good cells!
Wow! 0 Thats an amazing effect Sue!!!! Thank you!
Thank you John 💕 And you're welcome 💕
This is so Beautiful!!!
Thank you 💕
Hi Sue,
Im going to attempt this tomorrow. I was to curious to know how much pigment you put in each cup for one of these art pieces? Im so excited!!! Your work is amazing.
I don't use a lot, I don't measure it as such, I scoop about a quarter of a teaspoon. When mixed in the resin, lift your stick out and let it run back into the cup, you will be able to see if the resin is still transparent and if you need to add more pigment. 💕
This is the best piece of doable art I've seen. I'm totally new to this. Would one of you help me out and tell me what exactly I would need to do this myself? Moslty what kind of resin and paint to use.
Hi Tyler, I started out by watching as many beginner videos as I could to help me get started. I have listed all the products I have used in the description below the video.
Thanks! I really want to do this with my beach loving mom.
Did you wait from laying down the sand to doing the colors?
Stunning thank u for sharing the techniques and teaching so generously
You're very welcome 💕
Looks fabulous!

How much resin did you use for this project? I am in love with this! You did a brilliant job on them!
I used about 250mls of resin. 💕
