The same removable, water-based Galeria Acrylic Varnish available in a 500ml bottle — the practical choice for artists who varnish regularly, work at a larger scale, or simply prefer to buy in a size that goes further between purchases. All the same qualities apply: quick drying, non-yellowing, protective against dust and UV, and fully removable using Galeria Varnish Remover if the finish ever needs refreshing or correcting.
Available in Gloss, Satin, and Matt — all three finishes are fully compatible and can be mixed together in any proportion to achieve a custom sheen level anywhere between fully matt and fully glossy.
For full details on how to use each finish, drying times, application guidance, and advice on choosing between Gloss, Satin, and Matt, please see our 250ml listing.
Which finish should I choose? Gloss intensifies colour depth and gives a high-shine reflective surface. Matt produces a flat, non-reflective finish that reduces glare. Satin sits between the two — a soft, neutral sheen that is the most versatile default choice. All three can be mixed in any proportion to create a custom finish.
Can the three finishes be mixed together? Yes — all three are fully compatible and can be mixed in any proportion. Mixing Gloss and Matt in equal parts produces a result very close to Satin.
Is it removable? Yes — all three Galeria varnishes are removable using Winsor & Newton Galeria Varnish Remover, without damaging the painting beneath.
How many coats should I apply? Two to three thin coats give a more even result than one thick coat. Allow each coat to dry fully before applying the next.
