Professional Gloss Varnish by Liquitex, 237ml

With Liquitex, the possibilities for acrylic painting are endless. Liquitex offers a wide variety of acrylic mediums to spark creativity at every point in the painting process. Varnish Mediums play a crucial role in preserving artwork by shielding the painting surface from external elements and safeguarding the pigments from harmful ultraviolet rays. Moreover, varnishes can be utilized to alter or unify the sheen of a painting's surface.

The range of Liquitex varnishes includes different sheens that can be mixed together to achieve a personalized finish. The Liquitex Archival Permanent Varnish Finishing Medium stands out as a top choice due to its low-odor, permanent, and robust nature. This medium utilizes water-based technology, appearing translucent when wet and becoming clear upon drying. It effectively prevents discoloration caused by humidity, heat, and ultraviolet light. Compatible with Spray Paint, Heavy Body, and Soft Body, this finishing medium dries to a resilient surface that is resistant to dirt retention.

Acrylic color retention is guaranteed with this hard, archival, non-yellowing, and water-resistant varnish. Intended for both indoor and outdoor use, it acts as a protective shield against harsh environmental factors. When applying this varnish, it is essential to ensure that both the painting surface and the environment are clean, dry, and free from dust. For optimal results, acrylic paintings should be fully dried and cured for 48-72 hours prior to varnishing. The varnish can be applied using a brush or spray method, with the latter producing a thinner, smoother, and more uniform coat.

It is worth noting that acrylic paints and mediums can become brittle in cold temperatures, so it is advisable to avoid applying below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. For a reliable and versatile varnish option, consider the Liquitex Archival Permanent Varnish Finishing Medium. It delivers a non-removable, glossy finish that is lightweight and non-toxic. When dry, it forms a hard, flexible surface that is non-tacky, non-yellowing, and water-resistant. This 8-oz bottle of medium is compatible with Liquitex Professional Acrylic Paint Colors and Mediums, adhering to ASTM D4236 standards and deemed safe for educational purposes.
