IMPORTANT NOTE ON HOW POUR PAINTINGS DRY
Our pour paintings are designed to dry to a matte or satin finish first (depending on the pour option chosen). This is intentional β and itβs the key to getting the best movement, cells, and depth in the final artwork.
Why Your Painting Dries Matte or Satin First
- Better flow + stronger effects: letting the paint dry naturally keeps the pour chemistry balanced so colours can separate, move, and react properly.
- More reliable cell action: glossy additives can change viscosity and surface tension during the pour, which often reduces cell formation and organic detail.
- Cleaner results: the natural dry stage helps prevent unwanted buildup and uneven gloss patches during curing.
Why We Donβt Add High-Gloss During the Pour
- Gloss products can interfere with reactions: mixing heavy gloss mediums into the pour can flatten movement and reduce the visual effects.
- Especially important on large Birch Panels: extra runoff during the pour can leave thicker drips and messy edges that are difficult to clean once cured.
The Upgrade: Tri-Art Liquid Glass (Applied After Proper Drying)
Once the painting has properly dried and cured, we apply Tri-Art Liquid Glass as the final finish. It self-levels into a smooth, glass-like surface β similar to resin β without changing how the pour behaves during creation.
What Youβll See After Liquid Glass
- Richer colour depth and increased contrast
- Sharper details β cells and patterns pop more
- Crystal-clear, high-gloss finish with a smooth surface
- Durable, gallery-style presentation
Bottom line: The matte/satin dry stage is not a βmissing stepβ β itβs the foundation. Waiting until the painting is properly dry is what makes the final Tri-Art Liquid Glass finish look bold, clean, and professional.
WHY NOT JUST INCLUDE THE FINISH IN THE PRICE?
- Personal preference matters: some customers prefer using their own epoxy, varnish, or finishing products at home, and some choose not to use Liquid Glass at all.
- Keeps ticket prices lower: offering the finish as an option allows us to keep base pricing more accessible.
- Highly recommended for wood panels: without a final finish, wood panel pours dry to a flat matte appearance which can make colours and effects look muted compared to the wet pour stage.
- Coasters already include it: Liquid Glass is automatically applied to ceramic coaster options because a sealed surface is required before use.
- Why Tri-Art Liquid Glass: after testing many epoxy brands, we found they can be toxic, prone to oxidation, and may yellow over time. Tri-Art Liquid Glass offers an acrylic based, non-yellowing alternative we trust for artwork, and most importantly,Β it's manufactured right here in Ontario by a family-owned company, just like our Wood Panels π

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Our workshop tickets do not include food or drink for two reasons:
1) Pour Paint Workshops are expensive and challenging to run. Including food and beverage results in ticket prices higher than we would like.
2) It results in confusion! We hold our events in many different locations with many different options, prices, etc. Our painting artists end up focusing on explaining what drink options are included rather than letting their creative juices flow!
