Due to my recent visit to Miller Gallery, I wanted to try out Bruce Riley's technique by using polyurethane resin over layers of paint. It's taken a while for each layer to dry, and I only have two painted layers so far. Since I prefer using oil paints, I decided to use a small canvas to try out this technique. If it fails, I'll try again with acrylic paint. 

Step 1
create your first layer of paint

Step 2
Mix the polyurethane material with the hardener. Then pour it all over the canvas. Make sure you are gentle when you do this to minimize the bubbling.

Step 3
After the first layer of polyurethane is dry, add another layer of paint.

All you have to do is keep repeating this pattern until you are satisfied with your painting.
