Liquitex Professional Matte Varnish, 237ml (8-oz)

The drying time is average depending on how thick you lay it on and surface size. Application was easy and I used a brush. It can be used for different projects. Its good pricing.

Excellent way to seal your acrylic paintings. Lay canvas flat, use a dry, synthetic brush, large enough to make as few passes on the canvas as possible. Don't load the brush with too much varnish... Maybe 1/2 inch to 1 inch depending on the brush size. Wipe excess off the brush. Apply varnish in one direction, light even pressure, from one end to the other without interrupting the stroke... Again, this depends on canvas width and brush size. The key is not too apply so much at a time that it puddles. Even distribution. Don't go back and forth as if you're painting. Think of it as painting fingernails. If you go back over the same spot it will be tacky and produce undesirable results. Go thin. If you're doing a second coat let dry thoroughly in between coats. If it looks like it's streaking, don't brush it again. Let the varnish settle, you'll be surprised that it will most likely fill in the streaks and wool have a smooth even coverage. I highly recommend this product and this brand specifically.

Ive recently picked up the hobby of repainting figures/props and a varnish is definitely needed to elevate some to the last step, especially if its for something touched a lot so the paint is protected. The first thing I used it on was to seal repaint of this toy flintlock and after 3-4? (bottle says use 2-3) coats you can see how it looks. When on display there's noticeable shine so the metallic painted parts look metal and the "wood" looks a bit polished like how real life ones are. However the finish isn't unnaturally shiny since this wasn't the high gloss variant so it doesn't look cartoony. I bought 4oz for $5 and that is a great price since even with extra coats I used it didn't drain the bottle much. I highly recommend picking this up especially if your environment isn't suitable for spray varnishing. The one "downside" is that since this is a water soluble/based varnish it won't be AS protective as an enamel lacquer varnish so if you need extra protection or something you'll be heavily touching and roughing up then dont use this since it'll wear out quicker. But for figures/props/minis and display the price to quality and ease of use is very hard to beat

Michael's carries Liquitex MATT acylic varnish but I went to 3 stores and they didn't have the matt finish. I ordered it online and it's great. It's exactly as it should be. I just used it to seal a dog portrait on canvas and it worked perfectly (as it should).

I paint as a hobby, I don't really know much about any of the technical stuff about it, all I knew was that I wanted to "seal" my painting when it was done and I didn't want it to be too shiny. I've used liquitex varnish in gloss before but decided to try matte this time. It definitely worked and the painting lost ALL shine from the paints I had used, however, being the novice I am, I didn't realize that by using this I would also lose all depth there was to the colors and layers of paint. It left the painting looking completely flat and much less interesting. I could see myself using this on a different type of painting though so I'm not saying it's not a good product to use, but perhaps on something more simple and modern. I wound up running to the store to get the Satin varnish, and it's quite shiny now but I think it looks better than with the matte. So I'm posting this in case anyone else out there is a novice like me and wasn't sure quite what to go with, I hope this helps! All the varnishes in different finishes leave the product feeling very and looking very finished, just depends on look & depth of colors you want.

Nice matte finish and does not leave streaks. High quality and I definitely recommend to professional artists.

I previously bought some varnish from the local store, and it dried so quickly and my brush left streaks. I was really bummed. I then decided to give this one a try - It looks great! I tried both the Matte and the High Glosee from Liquitex Professional and they both turned out wonderfully. I did exactly as the instructions said - Swirl it gently, apply from side to side with a soft brush, did not dilute with water. I feel like 1 layer is enough for me. I especially like the Matte one - the colors are vibrant and there's no glare from the light.

Very good quality, as always. Worth the purchase.

Bon vernis. Ne pas en mettre une couche trop épaisse, cela laisse une epaisseur blanche .

Bom benefício.

Fungerar, både på acrylfärg och lösningsmedelfärg. Vit mjölkighet kan uppstå, försvinner då lacken torkat.

satisfaite de mon achat et de ce produit correspond aux performances recherchées
