heyy nia!! so i just wanted to thank you for all the tutorials you post, its really so great to be learning to paint by someone as good as you. i'm a highschool student and my parents aren't really big fans of me doing art (I'm from india :) ) so i cannot buy art courses, but your videos have been so helpful. I've been following them since a year and i can now create my own pieces from a reference photo and honestly thats something i always wished for. thank you so much nia, for everything. P.S the ducks are very cute
WARNING (to anyone who wants to try this): Please research resin safety before using it. Resin requires the use of safety equipment, as far as I know. Also, for sure wear gloves whenever you're using UV lamps.
@@onyxxxyno It didn't mean this person didn't made research, it could exactly mean that she exactly made research about it. The only fact she could advert about it proove that she have the knowledge by research or experience; SO beware of your misinterpretation of reality. Beside, it's sad that facing an advert like that, that is very important, your only concern is only about a expression in her comment, while it's only a superficial detail. But its like in this proverb "when the wise man show the moon, the idiot watch the finger"...So beware to not focus on something useless, while her comment is very useful. Yes we need gloves and mask, resin is toxic and dangerous, and not safe for aquatic environnement so it shouldn't be thrown in water. Because, like this person i made researches, in case you would have a fake interpretation of my words. By your reaction, you allow others to not take her comment seriously, while it have to be take seriously. So be careful about what you discredit. You should even thanks her to advert people, instead to attack her on a useless thing that come only from your interpretation that may not fit to reality (and proof is that she know we should be careful)
@@onyxxxyno They are not a total expert but at least heard/read that you do need precaution. I appreciate that they even said anything - better have some good info than not having any.
Gloves should always be used when handling resin in general, not just when UV lamps are involved. Ventilation is also important and a respirator is always good just to be safe (definitely required depending on the space or total exposure to the fumes and the strength of the respirator varies,) and if you're particularly clumsy, have sensitive eyes, or need to sand anything goggles would be handy. Always make sure you keep supplies nearby to clean up in case of spills. You should also avoid pointing the UV light towards your face and eyes like we see in the video and should probably keep your hands out from under it, moreso because it's unnecessary to have them under there or move the lamp itself around but there's also potential to damage your vision at least temporarily if you look at the light. UA-cam's got plenty of stuff about resin safety and the potential hazards involved (such as epoxy poisoning from the fumes,) and of course always read the label before deciding on the product.
I use a baking rack for my air dry clay friendos. As long as the clay on the bottom isn’t too wet, it doesn’t get the grid indentations. So I keep it on the parchment paper I used to make it for a couple hours so it can firm up and transfer it to the baking rack so it can get airflow all the way around. And then I use foil to bulk out any of the items I’m working on that are more than a half inch thick. This helps drying time to be no longer than 2 days in most items.
Super cute😍🤩... I wanted to make a brush holder from air dry clay but didn't know how and with what to glaze it. I also would love to see you make a ceramic palette 🙏 of course if you want and have time for it 💓
I love that you share different ventures with us! It's so refreshing to find new ways to use watercolors and learn about other art techniques and outlets! Thank you for sharing 💕
These came out so lovely. Just a question- can the ducks be just coloured and left without resin or is it absolutely necessary? Thanks a lot for the tutorial, you are awesome and your channel is very inspiring!
I'm not too sure of the effects of the watercolor without glaze. But acrylics should have the same finish as if you paint on canvas. Resin basically makes the ducks waterproof and glossy.
This was so relatable. For sometime now I've been looking at chopstick rests to be used as brush rests but they are so expensive so I've been thinking of diying some for myself. I've been looking for designs and these look adorable. ❤❤ PS : resin gets absorbed easily in skin so wear gloves and a mask if you use a UV lamp to harden it for the fumes. Other than that resin is self leveling so let it rest a min or so before you harden it, it'll prevent or atleast decrease the clumpy look.
These are adorable and look made of clay. Thank you! I'll definitely try, although the resin I have seems impossible to cure. Last time I tried it took like 10 minutes!
Yeiho brand resin and saviland are my best resins when I make glow in the dark stuff the smell from the one your using is too strong for me and gave me a headache I use that very minimal.
Could you explain what you did to rid the white duck of the gray spot that showed up under the wing while you were putting the resin on it? Thank you for helping me understand how to do this kind of art!
This is so beautiful 😍 I love drawings and paintings I'm trying to get even better by watching you Thank you so muchhh!!! For these awesome video's I'm really great full to find you :D and the clay animal is so Cuteeee thank you again!
Oh my my, great idea and great technique. I have been wanting to do this kind of ceramic looking items and I had no clue that this could be the way of achieving that look. Great, great and great. Thank you for sharing this idea. Loads of love and light and namaste 🙏 from 🇮🇳 India.
It’s best to use acetone when it’s in brushes as it dissolves it more easily when it isn’t cured. But even if it has, it will break it down to be usable again. Alcohol won’t do much. Idk how well it works on expensive brushes with non-synthetic hairs and I mean as in will it go back to the same quality. I’m not sure.
Absolutely marvelous creations. I have not used air dry clay, even though I have an unopened package. I love resin, uv or 2 part. I definitely must try this. Thanks so much for sharing this idea🥰👩🎨🎨
i absolutely LOVE this kind of video! its so fresh coming from you, and i've been looking for a brush rest too and this is just perfect for me as i loove air dry clay too
Your method of making a duck is the best because it is a little tricky to make it but you made it so easy and I also tried it was a blast seeing your video and it is so nice it is very helpful guys and your Lily pad is the best and where did you make that thing so Shiny please can you tell me what is that
There are acrylic glazes you can use but after a while they turn a bit sticky, which is why I much prefer resin. Or u cn also leave it bare, but it won't be waterproof
Nice tip! I'm kind of allergic to my own sweat though, so I usually have to use cotton gloves underneath, which makes moving my fingers a bit hard with the double layer. The resin is sticky.. so if I want to take off my gloves and put it back on I find that it would be bothersome. But Yes, I think this would be useful for those who doesn't have allergies like me :)
I'm not sure if you can use watercolor with polymer clay (I've never tried), but I think you can use acrylic instead to paint polymer once it's dry, then glaze with resin.
I think you'd need to put porcelain in the kiln to harden it completely... Unless you're talking about something like homemade cold porcelain, which is completely different
I have an automatic lamp that turns off every 30 seconds and I placed it under the lamp around 3 times. Mine is fairly weak though, so this depends on your lamp as well as how thick you apply each layer of resin..
Paper clay is super hard when it's dry, you would have to saturate it with water in order to reactivate it. As in, fully submerge the piece for a very long time.
@@wahfleenjoyer also safe! But if you're not sure, you can spray a coat or two of clear matte acrylic varnish on your piece before painting to seal the clay. I use citadel army painter and it works wonder.
You can use silicon brushes for resin and also there is resin cleaner. Please be sure to use a mask and eye protection as resin fumes are injurious to health. But with a respirator and eye protected and a well-ventilated area, you will be fine!

That's so great to hear! Hope your parents will ease up if you prove that you can do art for a living :)) All the best for your ventures!
this is so heartwarming. i hope your art journey goes well 🤍✨
Absolutely super idea. ❤️
Just take care using resin. Use gloves, use a mask when applying and also sanding. Happy and safe making 😁

I imagine a gel manicure UV-light process IN gloves D:D:D:D:D:D
❤Love the ducks
Thank you!
So very beautiful! Thank you for creating and for sharing! 🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐🦆🦆🦆
E600 glue would hold that with the resin on. I've made a few pieces of jewelry and some other crafts as well as nails. Love those they are so cute!
what a fun and functional little creation. The ducks are adorable and love that puddle too!
Nianiani, te han quedado preciosos! Gracias por compartir.

This is so nice. I love it a lot. Thanks for the hard work you put into making videos. 😊
I’m going to have to try this. I was looking at these brush rests and this looks like fun to make! Thank you!
They are so cute!!!
Welcome Back. Ah look so beautiful and lovely after painting. The duck looks so lively with the coat of resin😆👍🎨🌈❤️
Yess! Resin makes all the difference!

It's very good but I was waiting for a painting!🥲
Great I wanted some of these X🎨🦆
Great tutorial! I will make some for chopsticks. 😜

Wow, this is so interesting, I will give it a try, thank you.
Have fun!
This is so beautiful, I love the way they look 😍🦆
What a coincidence, I bought this clay a few days ago, I had no idea if painting with watercolors would work. Thanu you for sharing
These are adorable and look made of clay. Thank you! I'll definitely try, although the resin I have seems impossible to cure. Last time I tried it took like 10 minutes!
It's so cute!🤗😍
Use spray lacquer like for ceramics
Wow it's so cute and beautiful (♡∀♡).I also want to be creative and and great artist like you(◍•ᴗ•◍)
Try cleaning your brush with acetone 🙂
Thank you for the tip! xD I think it's bit too late now, but I'll take it into consideration next time haha
Yeiho brand resin and saviland are my best resins when I make glow in the dark stuff the smell from the one your using is too strong for me and gave me a headache I use that very minimal.
Could you explain what you did to rid the white duck of the gray spot that showed up under the wing while you were putting the resin on it?
Thank you for helping me understand how to do this kind of art!
I didn't, it needs to be covered completely with paint in order for the grey of the clay to not show up
It's beautiful Nianiani ❤️you are my favourite 😘
😊 thank you
I've had some air dry clay sitting in the bottom of my art supplies bag for like a year now so this looks like a fun way to use it!
Yess! Enjoy!
Good idea 💡The result is beautiful 🦆👍🏻
This is so beautiful 😍 I love drawings and paintings I'm trying to get even better by watching you Thank you so muchhh!!! For these awesome video's I'm really great full to find you :D and the clay animal is so Cuteeee thank you again!
Welcome! :D:D
These look adorable 😍😍 Thank you for sharing.. Hope you make more clay tutorials.. Loved this❤️
Wonderful I’ve been wondering if glazing was possible with resin. Thanks for sharing
This was also an experiment for me! Happy to know I can glaze with resin now! :D
Extraordinaire
Use acetone to clean the wet resin from the brush before the resin sets.
Wonderful tutorial! Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent. ❤
What a fun craft! Thank you for sharing! You are a multi-talented lady 😊
Never heard of porcelain clay, thank you!
Those are SO CUTE!!! I loved watching your process too!

I've learnt now from nail art haha 😅 thank you for the info!
Absolutely marvelous creations. I have not used air dry clay, even though I have an unopened package. I love resin, uv or 2 part. I definitely must try this. Thanks so much for sharing this idea🥰👩🎨🎨
No worries!
I love it! It’s amazing ❤ you should make different animals with that clay. It’s very artistic 🎉
I wish I havr more time to make clay things 😭
i absolutely LOVE this kind of video! its so fresh coming from you, and i've been looking for a brush rest too and this is just perfect for me as i loove air dry clay too
Sama samaaa! :D

I used resin. I explained in the video 😁
Love ur vlogs thanks for sharing ❤😊
Pleasure :D
Love your video!!
Awwwww that's sooo cute
Definitely gonna try it 😍also can you suggest a substitute for resin as I don't have it thanks !
There are acrylic glazes you can use but after a while they turn a bit sticky, which is why I much prefer resin. Or u cn also leave it bare, but it won't be waterproof
What happened with your brush after the resin adventure...? :D :))
It's dead 🙃😅
I don’t know how something so simple and imperfect could be so sweet and charming. 12:49
Will you make another one? 😊
I really love the master piece you made 😊
One suggestion use vinyl gloves
Nice tip!
I'm kind of allergic to my own sweat though, so I usually have to use cotton gloves underneath, which makes moving my fingers a bit hard with the double layer. The resin is sticky.. so if I want to take off my gloves and put it back on I find that it would be bothersome. But Yes, I think this would be useful for those who doesn't have allergies like me :)
Wow! Yous channel are so precious! Im happy to find it.
They are so sweet! Thanks for sharing your talent and making videos of the process.
Omg this is adorable. Do you think it would work with polymer clay?
I'm not sure if you can use watercolor with polymer clay (I've never tried), but I think you can use acrylic instead to paint polymer once it's dry, then glaze with resin.
They turned out lovely! Thank you for sharing ^-^
Pls make more clay videos :
I hope I'll have time at some point, they take way longer to film because of the drying process 😭
I have been wanting to do this and I already have the clay so now I'm ready.
These are so beautiful. You turned that clay into wonderful magical pieces. Thank you!
They are so cute! Please paint a watercolor scene of them 🦆🦆. It would be super adorable 🥰
It beautiful 😍🦆 Do you think I could use porcelaine which normaly should be burnt, but then just let it dry ?
I think you'd need to put porcelain in the kiln to harden it completely... Unless you're talking about something like homemade cold porcelain, which is completely different
Their beautiful, do you also sell them?
Great job for your first time Nia. I would love to receive the ducks, pond, and lily pads as a Christmas gift.
Thank you 😄 I haven't sculpted anything else for a while.. hope I don't forget the experience haha
Coincidentally I just began to "play" with air dry clay. Thanks for the tips!! They're just so cute
I love clayy! :D hope you enjoy playing with clay as well :D:D
Pliss make a ghibli scene tutorial
I loved it. I'm gonna try to make zombies with this technique lol it will be fun
Hahahaha sounds interesting xD
How long under the lamp?
I have an automatic lamp that turns off every 30 seconds and I placed it under the lamp around 3 times. Mine is fairly weak though, so this depends on your lamp as well as how thick you apply each layer of resin..
These are sooooo adorable and I love that you are sharing your sculpting work too!
How adorable!
Very cute ducks 😊and very good size as tiny creative I love miniatures ❤
I wish i get a chance to make more. It's so much fun!
how r they not er.. softening because of the watercolor?🥹
Paper clay is super hard when it's dry, you would have to saturate it with water in order to reactivate it. As in, fully submerge the piece for a very long time.
@@nineblackgoats what if its earth based clay, like jovi?
@@wahfleenjoyer also safe! But if you're not sure, you can spray a coat or two of clear matte acrylic varnish on your piece before painting to seal the clay. I use citadel army painter and it works wonder.
@@nineblackgoats Oh, okay! Thank you so much!!!!! 🩷🩷 I’ll try doing this 🩷 Thanks again!!
awww very cute and functional!! 😀
Absolutely adorable 🤭 Thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤️
My pleasure 😊
Ma sono una meraviglia !🥰😍
Is there anything you can’t do?! Lol. So cute and useable
Hehe thank you! but yes, there's plenty I can't do xD
You can use silicon brushes for resin and also there is resin cleaner. Please be sure to use a mask and eye protection as resin fumes are injurious to health. But with a respirator and eye protected and a well-ventilated area, you will be fine!
Oh I see! Thanks for the tips! It was my first time ever using resin 😊
@@Nianiani lol i have never even bought it haha i just watch lots of art videos and i love your channel, i wanted you to be safe
Can we put transparent nail polish instead of resin?
Hmmm I'm guessing yes.. but it would take so long to make sure each coat is dry
Super cute!!
Awww. So beautiful ❤❤❤
Tell me please, what kind of resin you have used?
There was no brand written on the bottle.. but its uv resin
Adorable duckies
