Gamblin Gamvar Pict Varnish 16.9 Oz GlossOrm-D

Right before a show, varnished three dozen oil paintings that were painted with not top of the line paint and the Gamvar deepened the saturation and provided a nice, not obnoxious gloss.

I am new to adding varnish to my paintings. I did two large collages and this was a great final top coat I did over a cross-hatch of gloss gel medium. At my first show using this many people commented on the final finish. This makes you work have a museum presentation. I will be doing varnishes many more times in the future - 5 stars.

I've been painting in oils for a while, however, this is the first time I've varnished my paintings. Reviewing articles and YouTube videos, Gamvar seems to be the standard among oil painters. So, I thought I would try it and Gamvar delivered as advertised. It was super easy to apply and perfectly dry overnight. I applied one coat with a soft brush which created a semi-gloss sheen, perfect for my paintings. Had I known varnishing would be this hassle-free I would have done it years ago.

Good

Easy to apply as soon as your painting is dry to the touch. Very nice gloss. Gets back the brilliance of the paint as when it is wet. It is very thin, so apply carefully to prevent runs. Drying flat is actually the best. Usually allow about 12 hours to dry before shipping. This pint will last a long time. I pour out a small amount in a vessel and then return the leftover to the bottle, using a funnel is best.

I tried other branded products for varnishing my oil and acrylic paintings and was still hoping for better options. After reading many reviews from professional artists, I bought a small bottle of this to try it out and my search for better varnish stops here. It's smooth, not sticky, easy to apply, easy clean up, blends so beautifully! Hands down the best varnish I've ever used !

looks good and brings out colors, just be careful to apply THINNLY, will leave uneven sheen if applied to thick

Good results for protection of paintings!
