What is Epoxy Resin and Its Uses in Artwork?
Epoxy resin is a versatile medium that has developed as a strong creative niche in the art world. For those of you who aren't aware, epoxy is a two-component material consisting of resin and hardener, which, when combined, undergo a chemical reaction to form a rigid, glass-like substance. This unique material is loved for its durability, glossy finish, and versatility in creating stunning artworks.
Artists use epoxy resin for a variety of purposes. It's a popular choice for creating layered paintings, adding depth and dimension to artwork, and for coating artworks to protect and enhance their vibrancy. The clear, high-gloss finish of epoxy resin can make colors pop, giving your artwork a stunning visual effect.
One of the most appealing aspects of working with epoxy resin is the ability to add color. By incorporating colorants into the resin, artists can create a spectrum of colored epoxy artworks, from subtle hues to vibrant tones. This brings us to the heart of our discussion today - the role of Pigmently colorants in extending the lifespan of your artwork.

Guide to Choosing Colors for Epoxy Resin
Choosing the right color for epoxy resin can be a daunting task, especially with the vast array of colors available—but don't be overwhelmed! Here at Pigmently, we're committed to helping you find the perfect hue to bring your vision to life.
When selecting colors for epoxy resin, consider the mood you want to evoke. Warm colors like reds, yellows, and oranges can create a lively, exciting atmosphere, while cool colors like blues, greens, and purples can convey a sense of calm and tranquility.
Also, consider the level of opacity you desire. Some artists prefer a translucent effect, allowing layers of color to shine through, while others prefer a more opaque, solid color.
You'll find that our Pigmently Epoxy Pigments are perfect for solid, shimmering tones with textured appearances, whereas if you're looking for something more subtle, translucent, or uniform in tone, our Pigmently Resin Dyes are the way to go.
Our range of epoxy colorants at Pigmently is versatile enough to cater to both preferences, providing you with endless creative possibilities.
Steps to Add Epoxy Color to Your Artwork
Adding epoxy color to your artwork is a straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to incorporate Pigmently colorants into your epoxy resin:
- Prepare your workspace: Ensure that your working area is clean, well-lit, and well-ventilated. Gather all your materials, including your epoxy resin, hardener, Pigmently colorants, mixing containers, and stirring sticks.
- Mix your epoxy resin: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to mix your epoxy resin and hardener. Ensure that the mixture is thoroughly combined for best results.
- Add your color: Gradually add your chosen Pigmently colorant to the epoxy mixture. Stir gently to avoid introducing bubbles into the mixture. Continue adding color until you achieve your desired shade or opacity.
- Apply the colored epoxy to your artwork: Use a brush or pouring method to apply the colored epoxy to your artwork. Allow it to cure fully before adding any additional layers.
Tips for Creating Colored Epoxy Masterpieces
Creating colored epoxy masterpieces requires patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of the medium. Here are a few tips to help you on your journey:
- Experiment: Don't be afraid to play around with different color combinations. The beauty of epoxy resin lies in its versatility, allowing for endless color possibilities.
- Practice safety: Always use gloves and protective eyewear when working with epoxy resin. Work in a well-ventilated space and avoid skin contact with the resin.
- Be patient: For multi-layered works, allow each layer of epoxy resin to cure fully before adding the next. This not only ensures a smooth finish but also enhances the depth and dimension of your artwork.
