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

Looking for a fun, creative night out in Hamilton? Join Paint-tastic by Ellie at Clifford Brewing, a welcoming local brewery with a relaxed atmosphere, great craft beer, and a fun venue vibe that makes the night feel like a true outing. Guests are welcome to order in food and enjoy a full night out with food, drinks, creativity, and plenty of laughs.
