It’s not just the shine but more importantly is the vitality put back into the colours. My favourite was the Krylon Gloss until you brought in the Winsor Newton Professional. They are close but WN is just a bit better in gloss and more vivid colour. I’ll be getting WN. Thankyou so much for all your effort that has benefitted me so much.

Thank you! The first two are exactly what I need for outdoor ornaments, and also my paintings. Thank you!

I really needed this video because I was wondering which one to buy.

Thank you for showing the comparison between the first and the third! Really helpful

Good info. The comparisons are really helpful to see side by side. Thanks for sharing.

Very new to varnishes and love the information you have shared!!! Thank you very much and going to be going with the Winsor & Newton!! Also love all of your paintings.

Great video! Thank you for taking the time to do it.

Very comprehensive and love the side-by-side comparison!! Thank you!! 😊

Just the information I was looking for. I was using a clear sealer I had to paint on and it just wasn't working right. Beautiful work. That one that looks blue and red on the bottom right is awesome!! I also really love the black/red/orange one. Love how the black kind of snaked through the color.

Thank you sooo much for this comparison!!! I’m just getting around to my first time dealing with a spray. I’ve done a few with a can of Polycrylic and that’s not a fun job at all!!! Have tons of coasters I’m about to resin ..and I’m making a spot in the garage to begin spraying my paintings and a few vases. Grabbed a can of W & N professional Gloss Spray & figured I’d jump on KZfaq and see what I bought. How cool is it that we can do that?!!! Anyhoo, found your channel so now I’m going to binge watch ya while I finish off a bunch of art. Thank you sooo much for sharing!!! Happy Painting.. (and prepping .. and finishing.. lol 😂) 🎨🎨✌️✌️✌️

Wow, that was so helpful! Thanks for that!!!

Wow I love the shine it gives.

Very useful video.. it helped a lot to clear the doubts... thank you so much for doing experiments and sharing....😊

The color max to keep looks WAY better !! Thank you !

Thanks for your comparison video, great info.

Awesome! You just gave me exactly the kinda of info I was looking for without wasting time getting to the basics. Thanks

This is such a great tut ! Thanks really helped !!

Thank you for your comparison. For me, it depends on what type of painting I'm doing. This was very helpful.

I love all the paintings! Usually I like matte finish but I think glossy is best for these. Thanks for doing all these comparison videos.

Thank you that was so helpful..I will definitely try these on my paintings. It just brings everything back to life.... I'm going to be a busy bee spraying 😏😊 cheers

Omg thank you for this!!

Went on your Etsy site and shared it on my FB page💕

Omg thank you for this video 💕

Great sealer review

Thank you for sharing it’s so helpful. God bless you

Thanks for the help!

Thank You CG

Thank you. Very Useful!!!

I just finished painting my grinch cut outs . and need to seal for outside. This helped a lot. The polyurethane one.

Krylon Clear Gloss (Triple Thick Glaze) is amazing. Like looking at glass.

There's a finish called Super High Gloss. Bet you'd like and can find most anywhere... Krylon, others. Thanks for your comparisons!!!

Can you do a painting comparison with the kind of sealers you brush on instead of spray on? Do the brush on ones need to be done outside also?.. or can they be brushed on indoors? Thank you for your time to answer this!

The Winsor is the winner to me. And I can't tell the difference between the two you were comparing. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for this, fellow creator!

Thank you!

Windsor and Newton.. plus I want to buy that one anyways... just needed clarification

thank you for this video

Thank you for all that information . I have these, wondering if one of them would work polyurethane, rustoleum gloss clear and dura clearmatt varnish . I thank you in advance

I prefer the smoother texture of the Polycrylic. Thanks for the comparison.

The polycrylic looks more uniform, less like it's caked with clear.

Go with the most cost effective that give UV protection p.s. your paintings are gorgeous !

I just found your channel. I love your pours! Not too busy, great color palettes, sound compositions, and yes, I think the W&N takes the cake as far as varnish. My favorite ones here are the very last row. Thank you for sharing!

Hi I have a photograph printed on canvas and would like a protective clear coat or UV but don’t want a gloss finish, egg shell or a matt finish. I have seen something like this before and I really brought out all the color and detail in the picture. What would you recommend. Thanks.

The Krylon Colormax Gloss has deeper colors.

The effect of the seal looks slightly textured when viewed at an angle. Perhaps if you warmed it up with a hairdryer while wet it would be more glasslike?

Thank you just found this.

i like the minwax myself

the Color mat clear gloss is shinnier than the minwax. the windsor is shinier than minwax too. Windsor is the most shiny.

This video was really helpful! Which one would you use to seal a mannequin head?

I’m a new artist and never heard of varnish and I was so torn on which one works best so I don’t waste my money so thank youu for this video

I just need to know what best sealer for both tamiya and model master acrylic paints I'm really confused

Very good comparison varnish video, I guess you get what you pay for. I was wondering what video you were referring to for the last 3 paintings, using less floetrol? I tried looking for it but couldn't find it. I wonder if you could link it for me? Thank you!!

Awesome video! Do you ever feel like the gloss causes it to be harder to see the painting when light hits it? It's like the light hits the clear and you can barely see through it. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Since this was 3yrs ago did you find a new favorite over the WN?

The Winsor & Newton looks the best

I liked the Winsor & Newton AND the Minwax. I don’t like really shiny, so I usually use the Krylon UV-Resistant Gloss | Clear Acrylic Coating. It has artists brushes on the label. Sold at Michaels (Canada) for about $16. It is also non-yellowing. Golden makes one as well, but it’s twice as much as the Winsor Newton, but hey, only HALF the price of the Minwax. Goin” broke here …

Thanks for this video❣️ what is the lightfastness of the WN? Did the strong odor from the WN disappear once it was dry or do the finished paintings still have a slight smell?

Have you ever tried Krylon Triple-Thick Crystal Clear Glaze? It doesn't state it's for acrylic but I wondered if it would work

Have you tried out Krylon Triple Thick Clear Glaze ?

On a scale of 1-5 I'd say, Windsor 4.75 and Colormax 4.5 (day 3) but fumes and cost would make me get the Colormax...

Which one did you like that didn’t leave a Shen on the canvas sister. This will be for canvas portraits!!!🎣🎣🎣

Do you have a video on how to seal using Minwax Polycrylic?

Do you have a recommendation for sealing acrylic paint on wood?

The gloss makes the colors pop

theirs some difference my brother Richard Glen Cave wood like them

How many of your sized canvases would you guess the Winsor Newton spray would manage per tin?

Hi. I would love to varnish my paintings but I don't want a shiny look. I prefer a more natural finish with just a little bit of sheen. Which one do you recommend?

Hi.. I’m trying to post, and it’s not letting me..one more try..the polycrylic is coming out in both droplets and spray, so I’m having to wipe the drops off....?😩Also, I’d love to see your site, so I can buy some pieces..very cool

That Krylon crystal clear is the first finish I used and I liked it the best. I thought you couldn't use that on acrylic paintings?

Can I spray gloss varnish straight on metallic paint or do I need to spray with Matt first

My Mom is in assisted living. She painted a tile for me that goes on a metal plant stand. I had no idea how to preserve it for use. Thank you so much for this info!

Hi , I’m a new subscriber. How long should I wait after my painting is dried to spray ? And which one do you recommend for shine ? Thank you 😊

Can I use these spray sealers on gouache paintings on canvas.

I just found this and I didn’t catch which 2 were you’re favorites

I think I like the Windsor Newton best however I think it is more expensive ??

If I want to put the painting in the bathroom which sealer would you recommend? Thanks

regarding those krylon crystal clear sprays, how long until they stop smelling toxic? thanks lol

The Krylon is the best I think

Hi I'm new, what do you recommend for phone case? I've purchased phone case with art painting on the back but it's needs coated.

Please tell my how you got all those evenly coated without the dull parts? I am using the first one shown here and Its so uneven. I moved back from the piece and still for some reason it gives me really shinny parts and parts that look like scuff marks. I'm so frustrated! I did a painting that took me literally weeks and after adding the Liquitex it got like ridges (the foam paint brush with panty hoes over it, im told that cuts down on the brush strokes but it doesn't) the more coats the deeper more obvious the brush strokes and lines, to the point where it couldn't be saved. I had to throw it away. I did learn after the fact that you can sand the finish and reapply though without knowing why i'm destroying these it makes no difference. So its not just the paint on but the spray on as well. The spray isn't streaking or running and i'm holding the can 5 to 8" away like it says, shaking the crap out of it, Like the label says. I did realize that it was too hot the first time I used it but i'm not doing it in the heat of the day and still get the same results, Consistently! Please do a video of you actually using the spray to coat your pieces. or come over and show this idiot how to finish these things. LOL

Jetliner color is shinier

What is the price of krylon spray?

Windsor and Newton has the best gloss.

I do not see your etsy link

Would I be able to spray on a print that I would keep rolled up in storage more often than it would be unrolled? My concern is that the finish would crack.

You did not try the Krylon triple thick Crystal Clear glaze. The key word here is glaze. If you want shiny and a deep coat quickly, also fast drying, small odor, you might consider this other gloss. They have a number on the bottle and it is 0500. I find that does color doesn't seem to Yellow after a while.

This must have cost you a lot. To me they all look the same. Im looking for a spray with a resin finish. Is there such a thing?

How many layers did you do

Do you think the Winsor and Newton would set clear on a window to seal a design or would it leave a film/speckle effect?

I really like gloss, but it seems to make paintings look like prints rather than original. I now think matte is best to seal & preserve color of art.

Color max wins

Do you use resin as a medium?

If it's that hard to tell the difference, go with the cheapest one. Now, problem solved! 😄

Why don't you compare apples to apples try to compare to the same color paintings

I would never put a sheen like that, on my Paintings...I like the Matte myself.. The ones you have are way too shinny!! Makes the Art look cheap..
