Winsor & Newton Professional Artists' Aerosols, All Purpose High Gloss Varnish, 400ml

Great product results. I use this for my adult student's smaller oil paintings to give them a professional finish!

I personally use high gloss varnish in spray for my artwork. I like the high gloss with spraying on top of metallic colors to give it that extra pop. winsor & newton quality is amazing it sprays a fair amount .

Wonderful product and highly recommend.

I have been painting for a few years but recently decided to look into a varnish as I was making a painting as a gift and wanted it to be protected. There were so many options, but I opted for the spray rather than one you paint over your finished work, mostly because it seemed easier, quicker and less work. The directions say to lay your work flat and spray over it, but sometimes a few drops would fall from the can onto the painting leaving big droplets. Luckily I noticed before it fully dried. I would then spray my paintings while slanted against something, in this case, I used a cooler. The smell is VERY strong so I recommend spraying outside your house. I would spray my paintings in my yard and I would leave them there for a few minutes. The smell does linger on your paintings for a while, but it eventually goes away. I didn't want my paintings to be very shiny or very matte so I got the satin spray and I'm so glad I did. I feel like it enhanced my paintings while still leaving a natural look.

This product is so easy to use. Well worth the cost. Great quality.Thanks, Susan

Unlike the newer sythetic (alkyd) varnishes, Damar is still my preferred varnish for a slighly viscous, high gloss finish that sets up quickly and has a very even coating. Yes, Damar will slighly turn a hint of brown given enough time, but its an even tone that can barely be seen in the whites, and even, for some, enhances the painting. I tried using some of the more modern solutions and they tend to go on in a patchy manner, sometimes resisting the painted surface, which requires 2-3 coats to cover. Damar is high-gloss in one pass and because it sinks in better, it gives a richer appearance, the colors look cleaner and the darks look deeper.Winsor and Newton always make excellent products, although a little pricier, its worth it.
