Professional Matte Varnish 237ml (8-oz) by Liquitex

Liquitex offers a wide range of acrylic mediums designed to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process. Varnish Mediums play a crucial role in protecting the painting surface from environmental factors and shielding pigments from harmful ultraviolet light. In addition to their protective qualities, varnishes can also be used to adjust or unify the sheen of a painting's surface. Liquitex varnishes are available in a variety of sheens that can be easily mixed together to create a personalized finish.

One standout product from Liquitex is the Archival Permanent Varnish Finishing Medium. This low-odor medium boasts permanent and durable qualities thanks to its innovative water-based technology. While wet, it appears translucent, but dries to a clear finish that resists discoloration caused by humidity, heat, and UV light. Compatible with Spray Paint, Heavy Body, and Soft Body acrylics, this versatile medium dries to a hard, non-tacky, and flexible surface that is resistant to dirt accumulation. It offers archival quality, ensuring that your artwork remains non-yellowing and water-resistant even after drying.

To apply the Archival Permanent Varnish Finishing Medium, make sure that both the surface and the surrounding environment are clean, dry, and free of dust. Acrylic paintings should be allowed to fully dry and cure for 48-72 hours before varnishing. You can choose to apply the varnish using either a brush or a spray, with the latter usually resulting in a thinner, smoother, and more even finish. Rolling or sponging application methods are not recommended. Note that acrylic paints and mediums can become brittle in cold temperatures, so it's best to avoid application below 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Archival Permanent Varnish Finishing Medium from Liquitex is a reliable choice, offering a non-removable matte finish that is lightweight, non-toxic, and safe for educational use. Each 8-oz / 237ml bottle of medium is intermixable with Liquitex Professional Acrylic Paint Colors and Mediums, allowing for endless creative possibilities. This product conforms to ASTM D4236 standards, giving you peace of mind when using it for your artistic endeavors.
