Winsor & Newton Solvent Varnishes can be used to protect fully dry acrylic and oil paintings. This range includes gloss and matt options, each offering a superior quality, UV-resistant finish that is removable with artists’ white spirit or distilled turpentine.
Winsor & Newton Artists’ Gloss Varnish is quick-drying, non-yellowing, and resists blooming and cracking. It should only be used once a painting is completely dry, usually after 6 to 12 months, and should not be used as a medium.
Winsor & Newton Artists’ Matt Varnish offers the same superior quality UV-resistant protection in a matt finish. It is quick-drying, non-yellowing, and resists blooming and cracking. It should only be applied to completely dry paintings, usually after 6 to 12 months. Shake well before use, and do not use as a medium.
