Glossy Acrylic Varnish

from the Pastel Artist

Glossy Acrylic Varnish for the Arts is a 100% acrylic emulsion-based varnish.

It can be used to protect and finish acrylic paintings and "thin-medium" techniques such as watercolor, gouache, etc.

This varnish forms a highly durable film with excellent resistance to dust and UV rays. The resulting varnish film is impervious to moisture while allowing the paint layer to breathe, thus providing excellent protection against moisture and mold.

Resistant to moisture, air pollution, scratches, etc.

Directions for use:

Applying glossy acrylic varnish:

A number of precautions should be taken during preparation and during the varnishing process itself. Since the purpose of varnishing is both to protect and to finish the artwork, the glossy acrylic varnish should be applied in an even coat. The surface to be varnished must be thoroughly cleaned, clean, and dry. It is best to work in a clean environment that is neither damp nor dusty, at a room temperature that is neither too hot nor too cold, and out of direct sunlight.

The varnish can be applied with a paintbrush, a varnish brush, a roller, or an airless sprayer—the tool must be clean and used exclusively for varnishing.

The varnish is applied flat to prevent drips. The glossy acrylic varnish is applied in two cross-coats.

For the first layer, apply brushstrokes evenly and parallel to the edges of the painting surface. If possible, apply the layer in a single pass without reloading the brush to ensure an even coat. If possible, work without overlapping one layer with the next. Let dry in a dust-free area for 24 to 48 hours.

Once the first coat of varnish is dry, apply the second coat using the same tool. Apply the strokes perpendicular to those of the first coat.
