Artisan Varnish is a non-yellowing, water based varnish which provides protection for paintings achieved with Artisan Colour and is removable with Artisan Varnish Remover. Artisan paintings should be allowed to dry completely before varnishing, at least 6-12 months for thin films, longer for impasto paintings. Varnishes should not be used within the paintings as mediums. Available in Gloss, Matt and Satin. Satin Varnish should not be used on over absorbent or damaged paint films. Satin Varnish may be applied over Gloss Varnish.
