Varnishing
Acrylics and Oil Paintings
I varnish acrylics and oil paintings with JW Etc.’s Right Step Clear Varnish using a 3/4 inch Loew Cornell 7600 La Corneille Filbert Mop. I let it dry 30 minutes between each coat of varnish.
Colored Pencils Paintings
Done on Paper
Colored pencils pieces done on paper are varnished with DecoArt Traditions Multi Surface Sealer using a soft white fabric brush. The first coat I apply it by color. For Example, I go over the greens, check if it bleeds and blot on a paper towel before going to the next color such as the reds. You will be able to tell if the color is bleeding in the white brush and you must clean it before moving to the next color area. After the first application there is no need to do it by color. I normally apply two to three coats.
Done on Pastelbord
1. Burnish penciled areas with a colorless blender
2. Varnish your piece outdoor with four coats of Grumbacher Final Varnish Gloss Spray for Oil and Acrylic. Allow to dry 30 minutes between coats.
3. Varnish with two coats of JW Right Step Gloss Varnish. Allow to dry 30 minutes between coats
