Final varnish


For you Fearless oil painters....



 Any ideas or opinions about final varnish for oil painting? I have a painting that needs varnishing before a show that opens in about a month.....I have to say I am FearFUL about this subject....!!



I just spent hours researching this question via Wetcanvas and have come away more confused and frustrated from the conflicting opinions....



Please share ith me what product you use and why....

Hi Tracy

I am by no means an expert. But I have varnished paintings before. How long has the painting been drying? I have used Damar varnish for the initial varnish, say a month or more after painting and it being dry. I am going to search for a video to send you on YouTube.. there has got to be one out there... I will post whatever I find here...


For the meantime check out this link:
