You can absolutely put another finish over the top. If you want a glass top finish the only real option is resin. HOWEVER, as a fellow artist I can 100% guarantee you that the “uneveness” that you mention doesn’t not bother anyone but you. 8) We as artists want everything to look perfect but the imperfections make our art more unique as it is a visual indicator that this was hand made and not mass manufatures. Of all the paintings I have ever made not 1 person has given me feedback that they don’t like the slight relief created by the paints on the canvas after they have dried.

I have done it many times and it works just fine Margaret. Just make usre you still clean your surface well before adding resin.

You absolutely can. I have resined over normal varnish a few times when the sheen just wasn’t as glass like as I wanted.

I am wondering the same thing

After a painting is finished I either stand them up like books (but only back to back and front to front) or if they are small I stack them like a pile of papers. Like books is best and a sheet of parchment paper or a stick (think bamboo dish drying rack) can help protect each painting from itself.

I may want to resin in the future, should I hold off varnishing or polycrylic first? What would happen if you did resin later after a spray varnish or polycrylic?

Perfect!! Thank you so much! I’m going to go out and buy exactly what you suggest! You really have a great site for pouring information! I got all 20 kids to do their pours yesterday so we will have awhile before sealing. Wish me luck!!
