How To Resin A Large Piece Of Art

The basic principles of applying epoxy resin remain the same whether you're working on a large or a small piece: measure, mix, pour, and cover. However, large pieces of artwork also come with some unique challenges that need to be problem solved:

What's the best way to mix a big batch of resin?
Can you apply resin to a large stretched canvas?
How do you cover a large resin painting to protect it from dust while it cures?

Artist Greg Benz has learned how to troubleshoot the most common issues when applying epoxy resin to large paintings, and he is going to share his tips and techniques with us.

I’m glad you mentioned the ‘babysitting’ of them. It’s so true!

[JenJackson-kp]

Thankyou so much for this demonstration. I love the finish and might get brave enough to try it when I have the space to work with it.

Greg, love your artwork! I'm mostly a wire wrapper and portrait psinter in charcoal, but have lost my center vision and haven't been able to do any portraits in a few years. Hoeever, I can appreciate your wonderful landscapes! Bravo!

Awesome video - pleased you showed us how to get the measurements and shared the whole technique.

Great video! Thanks for sharing all your tips Greg. Question... where did you get those giant mixing pales with the measurements on them? I'm about to resin an 8ft panel and could use a couple of those. Also, are you able to reuse them over and over? Your work is beautiful by the way.

Grey Benz makes some of my favourite abstract art. Wonderful textures and colour schemes!

Man - it took that painting (WHICH I LOVE) and made it look like a METALIC print

[MeanNYer]

THANK YOU SO MUCH 4 THIS! I have a 36" x 48" Wood Panel multi media cartoon painting I am doing. This will be the 1st time using resin and this really put my mind at ease as far as executing my final ambitions with all I will have going on.

EDIT: And yes...BTW I subscribed!

[ritaponessa]

Thank you for sharing your technique and your beautiful art.

Just tell Greg is work is of outstanding performance well done

[barba]

Wow this is awesome! Can you explain how using a box to cover your art piece does not produce more dust? Also, how long before you know you can put it under the box... I'm a beginner so trying to learn how to get the best out of Art resin. Are your panels custom made to fit the canvas? How do I go about getting one? Your Art is beautiful by the way!

[vickiflaws]

Absolutely stunning piece. Thank you for sharing your expertise 😍

[natree]

Your resin is by far the best I've tried for my art. Not always the cheapest or the most readily available in the UK, but I've used some truly horrible stuff that wouldn't cure even after a very long time so happy to pay a bit more for a good product.

This was an excellent video! Very helpful! I am about to resin my first 4x8ft panel and since wacthing this Ill be asking a friend to help with the application. :-)
