It provides the materials needed to follow tutorials focused on achieving unique cracked textures and glossy finishes. This selection is suitable for both beginners and intermediate artists exploring these disciplines.
Curated by The Shelf Curator · Updated June 2026
Built for mixed media artists layering heavy textures and high-gloss finishes who require chemical compatibility between acrylic and resin layers. Not for watercolorists or those working on paper — this shop focuses on rigid-surface construction and structural mediums.
Curator's pick: Golden Crackle Paste
This medium provides the necessary structural integrity to hold deep fissures when applied in thick layers, whereas cheaper alternatives often flake off the substrate once dry. Its formulation is engineered to accept acrylic washes without re-softening, making it the superior choice for complex mixed media builds.
⚠ Worth knowing: Using a heat gun on ArtResin to pop bubbles requires precise movement; lingering too long in one spot can scorch the resin or prematurely activate the Golden Crackle Paste underneath, leading to structural delamination. The Wagner HT1000 is high-output, so maintaining a six-inch clearance is a technical requirement to avoid ruining the chemical bond.

How to use this together
1
Prepare Your Base
Begin by applying your background colors from the Liquitex Basics Acrylic Paint Set onto the Wood Lizard Cutout. Allow these layers to dry completely before moving to the next step, ensuring each color is vibrant and distinct.
2
Create Crackle Texture
Once your base paints are dry, apply the Golden Crackle Paste over desired areas of the lizard cutout. Use the Wagner HT1000 Heat Gun on a low setting from a distance to gently encourage and accelerate the cracking process, watching as unique textures form.
3
Apply Acrylic Pour Layers
Mix your chosen Liquitex Basics Acrylic Paints with Floetrol Pouring Medium according to instructions, ensuring a smooth, fluid consistency. Carefully pour different colors directly onto your textured lizard cutout, allowing them to flow and create interesting patterns, then let it dry thoroughly.
4
Finish with Resin
After all paint and crackle layers are completely dry, mix the ArtResin Epoxy Resin Kit components precisely. Pour a thin, even layer of resin over your finished artwork on the lizard cutout, then gently sweep the Wagner HT1000 Heat Gun across the surface to remove any air bubbles, allowing the resin to cure in a dust-free environment for a clear, glossy finish.
