Amsterdam Acrylic Varnish 113 High Gloss provides the ultimate professional finish for artists looking to achieve a brilliant, glass-like sheen while ensuring long-term protection. This durable, non-yellowing varnish acts as a flexible seal, shielding your masterpieces from dust, dirt, and environmental wear. Designed for versatility, this reversible varnish is suitable for both acrylic and oil paintings, making it an essential final step for any serious studio practice.
Key Features and Artistic Benefits
- Maximum Depth and Brilliance: The High Gloss finish saturates colors to their fullest potential, adding extraordinary depth and a professional, radiant luster to your artwork.
- Durable and Flexible Protection: Formulated to create a robust yet flexible barrier that moves with the substrate, preventing cracking while protecting the underlying paint film.
- Non-Yellowing Formula: Engineered to remain crystal clear over time, ensuring that the original colors and highlights of your painting remain true for decades.
- Reversible for Conservation: As a professional-grade varnish, it is reversible; dry layers can be removed with white spirit if cleaning or restoration is required in the future.
- Dual-Media Compatibility: While optimized for acrylics, this varnish is also highly effective for sealing oil paintings, providing a consistent finish across different media.
Application and Usage Guidelines
- Timing: Apply only once the paint film has dried completely. For acrylics with normal film thickness, wait at least 4 to 5 days before application.
- Environmental Control: Ensure both the varnish and the artwork are at room temperature during application and drying to prevent condensation and the formation of a white cast.
- Precision Application: Shake well before use. Apply with a brush in a single layer, moving in one direction only. Avoid applying multiple layers, as this can cause inconsistencies in the high-gloss sheen.
- Thinning and Cleanup: If necessary, the varnish can be thinned with white spirit. Clean all brushes and tools with white spirit immediately after use.
