How To Resin Colored Pencil
- Create a colored pencil design on the paper of your choice, sized to fit the wood panel (or other sturdy substrate) you plan to use.
- Apply a sealant over top of your drawing and allow it to dry according to the label directions.
💡 TIP: Choose a brush-on or spray sealant that dries clear, offers UV protection and is safe to use on pencil drawings. Be aware that a brush-on sealant may cause the drawing to smear, so always test on a scrap piece first. - Following the label instructions, apply glue stick or spray adhesive to the back of the drawing.
-
Carefully place the drawing onto the panel. Start by lining up the side closest to you and slowly lay the rest of the print down.
-
Place a piece of glassine paper or parchment paper, cut to size, on top of the artwork.
- Roll a brayer tool to gently burnish the entire surface, removing air bubbles trapped under the paper and ensuring a good, secure bond to the panel.
- Wearing gloves, measure and mix the ArtResin according to instructions. 💡 TIP: If you're not sure how much ArtResin you need, enter the dimensions of your piece into our Resin Calculator.
- Pour the resin in the center of your artwork and use a flat-edged spreading tool to guide the resin over the entire surface.
- Use an Artist’s Torch to remove bubbles.
- Cover and all the resin to cure. After 24 hours, the resin will be dry to the touch and will be fully cured after 72 hours.
