Step 2 Add the Ocean Layer

Once your base layer is poured use a clean cup to pour a strip of white where the ocean meets the shore. This will become the foam of your wave.

Be careful not to overdo it with the white. Too much can overwhelm the rest of the colors and cover your beach effect.

Move slowly and evenly for best results

. The white pigment should begin to web out and look like real sea foam.

Tip: Use a heat gun instead of a torch if you want more control over how the waves spread.

Step 4 Add Details and Let It Cure resin

Add a sprinkle of sand or tiny shells near the shore line for extra realism. You can also layer more white  and repeat the wave effect for a multi layer look.

Let your piece cure on a level surface undisturbed for 24 to 48 hours depending on your brand.

Step 5 Optional Clear Top Coat resin

If you want your ocean art to have a glass like finish apply a clear  top coat once the first layer is fully cured. This gives your work a professional look and adds depth to the ocean colors.
