What to Know About Seminars
A wide variety of workshops designed by Quebec artists to help you learn and perfect your art. Discover their favourite techniques while creating one or more artworks, depending on the formula offered. You’ll also find technical courses to develop your understanding of basic concepts so you can create your own artworks, and to improve your use of different mediums. Hours of fun!
VARIED DURATION AND PRICES
Seminars vary enormously in length. You’ll find seminars lasting from a few hours to a full day, and even sessions of several workshops. As a result, prices also vary widely. So it’s important to read the descriptions of each workshop carefully.
Payment is taken at the time of registration, whether in advance or on the day of the workshop.
The level required to take part in the seminars also varies. In general, beginners are welcome as well as intermediates and advanced painters, but you do need to have painted before. If you’ve never painted before in your life, we advise you to sign up for a creative workshop first, or for a seminar specially designed for beginners.
If in doubt, don’t hesitate to contact us either by e-mail at [email protected] or by phone at 1-418-651-7682.
SUPPLIES AND PREPARATION
Some artists include some supplies for their students, others don’t. This is personal and specific to each type of seminar. So it’s still very important to read each course description carefully to know what’s included.
When you register for a seminar, we’ll send you a list of the supplies you’ll need to bring with you as soon as possible. If you would like to have access to it before you register, please write to us ([email protected]) and we will be happy to send it to you.
Instructions for preparation will be given with the list of supplies if applicable. The sketch and reference photos for the preparation will be given to you only when the course has been paid for in full.

SEMINARS POLICY
Pin-So’s policy allows us to serve you well by holding the course for those who have shown up. This policy is designed to be respectful of you, while ensuring the smooth running of our courses. We ask you to familiarize yourself with them, and not to hesitate to contact us for clarification.
- The supplies you need for your art classes should be purchased as much as possible from the store.
- No deposit is refundable or exchangeable unless cancelled by us.
What it does
- Turns satin paint to a dead matte finish with absolutely no sheen.
- Extends your heavy body paints by up to double volume without affecting acrylic stability, viscosity or color position - ideal when running out of a color mid painting.
- Maintains opacity levels better than any other Liquitex gel.
- Increases viscosity of fluid paints, giving a thicker consistency.
- Slows drying time and enhances appearance of brush marks.
- Acts as a heavy-duty collaging adhesive.
- Maintains durability and archival quality.
How to use it - Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products.
- Can be thinned by diluting with up to 25% water - distilled water will give best results.
- Best used with opaque colors.
- Mix up to 50% into acrylic color to keep color and opacity the same (more than 50% will act as a pale tinting white).
- Apply with a brush as a collaging glue.
How not to use it - Adding over 50% medium may lighten your color.
- Do not vigorously over-brush as this can result in a foggy, hazy look when dry.
- Do not use with any non-acrylic compatible media.
