Product details
Paint varnish is a clear, protective coating that is applied to paintings to protect them from dust, dirt, moisture, and fading.
Varnish can also be used to enhance the appearance of a painting by adding a layer of shine or matte.
There are two main types of paint varnish: oil-based and water-based.
Oil-based varnishes are more durable and provide better protection, but they can be difficult to apply and clean up.
Water-based varnishes are easier to apply and clean up, but they are not as durable as oil-based varnishes.
When choosing a paint varnish, it is important to consider the type of paint that was used to create the painting.
Oil-based paints should be varnished with an oil-based varnish, and water-based paints should be varnished with a water-based varnish.
Here are some types of varnish,
Gloss finish: A glossy finish will make the colors more vibrant and shiny.
Matte finish: A matte finish will reduce the glare and the colors will be softened.
Satin finish: A satin finish is somewhere between gloss and matte.
It's a water-based varnish (acrylic resins dissolved in water & not solvent based )
Ideal for giving a final touch to acrylic & fluid art paintings
Varnish helps in protecting the painting from dust & moisture.
Use the varnish only after the paints are completely dry.
Permanent, non-yellowing.
Water resistant when dry.
Gives a Satin finish & not glossy.
Apply 2-3 coats if needed.
How to Apply Varnish:
