For Oil Colour
Dammar Varnish: the oldest liquid varnish, this gives a very high gloss. Winsor & Newton is the traditional 5lb cut if you want to use it for mediums (which we do not recommend but millions use it). As a strong varnish, we recommend using Distilled Turpentine (our strongest solvent) when it needs to be removed.
Professional Gloss Varnish: The most popular varnish, it gives a very high gloss finish. Stronger solvents will be needed to remove it as time goes by.
Professional Matt Varnish: One of the most modern varnishes, it is readily removable and gives a medium matt sheen. Professional Matt and Gloss varnishes can be intermixed for varying sheens in between. We suggest about 50:50 to achieve a Satin finish.
Professional Satin Varnish: A superior quality UV resistant satin varnish, removable with Artists’ White Spirit or Distilled Turpentine.
Re-touching Varnish: A UV resistant gloss varnish which gives temporary protection to recently completed oil paintings. It is quick drying and should be used in thin layers
