      Hi all

      Complete newbie here – silly question but just want to be sure. I’m looking to create some ocean art using resin but I’m not sure if I would be best to use opaque or transparent pigments for colouring -which do you think would be best for creating multiple layers of “waves”? Does anyone have any photos of work that has been produced using both types to make a comparison?

      Any advice much appreciated!

      Thank you

      Ben

      Transparent colors will get you the best ‘ocean’ effect.

      This article shows how I used the Resin Obsession transparent pigments to create an ocean painting: https://www.resinobsession.com/resin-art/ocean-waves-resin-painting/
