Winsor & Newton Galeria Gloss Varnish is a protective finishing coat for acrylic paintings.
This varnish gives your completed artwork a shiny, reflective finish while protecting the paint surface from dust, dirt, and environmental damage. It creates a uniform gloss across your entire painting, which can help intensify colors and make them appear more vibrant.
The varnish is water-based and non-yellowing, so it won't discolor or change the appearance of your work over time. It dries to a clear, transparent finish that won't alter your original colours—it simply adds shine and protection.
How to use it: Make sure your acrylic painting is completely dry (wait at least 24 hours, though longer is better). Apply the varnish in thin, even coats using a soft, flat brush. You can apply multiple coats if desired, waiting for each layer to dry before adding the next.
The 75ml size is a good starter amount for smaller paintings or for artists who want to try the product before committing to a larger bottle.
