Still life attempt next. Anyone ever gloss/varnish an acrylic painting before?

# 11 precious years of your LIFE
lol.


I just looked at how long I've been a member.

Lol, I said member.

I might cry a little.

Time is passing.

Some good people have passed too.

It's a crazy old world, innit.

# don't see why you can varnish it.
do it, see what happens, trial and error

# will have to investigate
acrylic loses something when it's dry .

# Hoppy Candleday!
Fixer for charcoal/pastels or Acrylic gloss medium might be what you need.

# Don't take this as gospel
because I have simply heard of it, not tried it. Yacht or boat varnish, I am told, although it will bring out different colours in your painting. People who claim to use it allow for that in the colours they use, so yes trial and error I'm afraid.
Also: Candles!

Yes, any varnish will change the colour and contrast.
On the plus side, if you're using good acrylics, there's no real need to varnish it.

# As I say, I'm going on hearsay.
I'm told specialist 'art varnish' is the same stuff, just twice the price.

# This is inexpensive, never used it though. Polyurethane varnish is probably your best bet and acrylic based so as not to dissolve your paint.
