Best Way to Varnish a Painting (Oil or Acrylic)

Follow
Painter In You

In this video I share my technique for varnishing acrylic and oil paintings. I demonstrate the varnishing process using an acrylic painting as an example, but the same technique can be applied to oil paintings. I have found this is the technique that works best for me, based on trial and error over the past few years. This technique results in an even, smooth coat which will make your painting look rich and complete. Please note that your painting should be fully dry before considering varnishing it (612 months drying time for oils and 7 day drying time for acrylics). Between varnish coats, please allow 24 hours.

You can buy the same varnishing products I use on Amazon using the links below! I receive a small commission if you purchase through these links, which helps support this channel (Thank You!).
