What Is Diamond Painting?
Started in 2015 and quickly appealing to art lovers in the US and Europe painting with diamonds is a clear form of art. You follow a numbered canvas and place hundreds of small, colored resin pieces on it. Each number matches a resin piece, so you do not need to plan a color layout. It is like a paint-by-number kit but with small gems that add a bit more light to your work.
Diamond painting goes beyond old ideas of art combining thought and calm by doing one clear task. If you look for a new project to engage your mind that also gives bright results, diamond painting can be the change you need.
Basic Tools for Diamond Art
Diamond Applicator Pen
This pen is the main tool for diamond painting. You use it to pick up resin pieces and place them on the sticky canvas. It is a plastic tube with a small opening at one end where the resin piece fits and the wax makes the piece stick to the pen.
Different pens exist. Some allow you to pick up more resin pieces at one time while others fit better in your hand or are made from various materials. Select one that meets your needs or fits your taste.
Tweezers
You may also need tweezers. In comparison to the pen, tweezers have no wax. They help you move resin pieces without marking them, for example, to move pieces to another holder if necessary.
Wax or Glue
Wax or glue covers the resin pieces. It lets you pick them up with the pen and attach them to the canvas. The glue on the canvas holds the resin pieces more strongly than the wax on the pen does. When you put the piece on the canvas, it lets go of the pen.
Diamond Tray
A tray is useful for keeping the resin pieces in order while you work. These trays come with diamond art kits and help line up the resin pieces making them easier to pick up with the pen.
Diamond Bags
Imagine opening your kit and having the pieces jumbled together. It is better if they come in plastic bags, sorted by color or size; this keeps them in order before you start.
Resin Diamonds
No diamond painting kit is complete without resin pieces. These small pieces of resin come in different colors. You set them on the canvas according to the numbers on the guide or picture.
Reference Guide
It is helpful to have a guide that shows the completed diamond painting. Use it if you have problems during the process. Although the guide is mentioned last, it is as basic as the other tools.
How to Paint with Diamonds
Prepare Your Workspace
Begin by making sure your work area is clean and well-lit. Good light helps you see the numbered sections on the canvas better making the task simpler.
Organize Your Diamonds
Open your diamond art kit and sort the small resin pieces in the trays or bags provided. Sorting them by color or size makes the work smoother so you can focus on the steps.
Refer to the Guide
Look over the reference guide that comes with your kit. This guide shows how the numbered sections match the resin pieces.
Start Small, Work Part by Part
Start by peeling off a small area of the protective layer on the canvas. This shows the numbered areas. Pick the matching resin piece with your pen or tweezers and fix it on the right spot.
Use Wax or Glue Carefully
If your pen needs wax use just enough to hold the resin piece without extra spread. The sticky canvas does its job well so that the resin piece stays in place when it leaves the pen.
Frame and Display
After you have set all the rhinestones, allow the canvas to dry well. Put your finished art into a frame, then place it in your chosen room to add a hint of shine to your space.
Begin this creative task with care and step-by-step thought. See your empty canvas change into a pleasing work of art, one diamond at a time.
