It’s important that you start believing in yourself, because only when you start having that kind of confidence, you would then be more willing to challenge yourself, think outside the box and try something new.

After trying all kind of things that I would like to try on resin, I start thinking what would I like to see in daily basis, not only as a art work, but also as a reminder to myself?  So this particular image (which is also inspired by an amazing Artist from the Pinterest) came to me.  This particular image make me feel that everything is possible and inspired me to dream big.  With that thought in mind constantly when I was painting, I encourage you all to dream big as well.  To feel that you are sailing toward your goal even when time is seems to stall.  A step at a time, getting there is just a matter of time.

I am not a professional artist, but more like an impulsive one. I love to experiment various art depends on where my mood takes me. My artworks is often one time only art, and I do not take request for order. Mostly because I enjoy taking my time trying to make my artwork comes to life, and I believe the artwork can preserve the energy of the artist especially when they are doing something they love. And that’s why I am only painting something I love. And I will stop doing it when that feeling is gone.

If you wonder how resin art is done like I was couple months ago. It’s definitely a complicated process. Let’s just said that it’s way more complicated art then my comfortable 2D or digital art. While 2D art starts with what you want to emphasize first and work your way back, resin art require you to think ahead before you pour your very first layer of resin. You need to reverse your thinking of 2D art and figure out what you want as background instead of foreground. Each layer of resin takes 12 hours to cure, and you have to hope there’s no cat or dog or debris decide to pay it a visit during process of curing. The paint is hard to stick on the surface, just imagining trying to paint on the glass. And different opacity of paint would decide how 3D the object is going to look. Hope this will help you do all the math. Each layer literally takes a day to finish. XD

At the end, not only I hope you will enjoy this artwork, I also wish you can all find a way to make an impossible dream happens just like I did with this piece of art.
