As a beginner, how to prevent smudging during application? Does the coating yellow?

@shivanipatelart Ай бұрын

It doesn't yellow :) As long as your painting has completely dried, there shouldn't be any issue of smudging either. If you're concerned, try a test patch before applying it onto your final painting!

Thank you for the info, I had a problem with paintings rubbing their colors on each other in a sketchbook, I hope sealing them with varnish will stop it.

Can You use this on metallic guache. Also what does it smell like? as in chemical thanks

@shivanipatelart 7 ай бұрын

The smell is pretty neutral IMO! And yes I think it should be suitable for metallic gouache as well.

Hiii i have decor gloss varnish but when i applied it on my gouche painted it just mixed all my colours into each other can u pls tell me how to use the liquid varnish on my painting. Thank you

Hi :) I've honestly not used liquid varnish on gouache so I can't say for sure. But if one varnish isn't working out, it's best to try another. From my research, Dorland's Wax seemed to be the safest bet and I've never faced any issues with it. And always do a test patch before applying any varnish onto your actual painting.

Can we use winsor & newton’s fixative as varnish for Gouache?

@shivanipatelart Жыл бұрын

I haven't experimented with it myself yet, but I've done a lot of reading and it's not ideal. It can cause running or even discolouration of pigments over time. Dorland's is your best bet.

Im really scared to put anything on my gouache paintings because I make really intricate details n im afraid it will merge. Will it? Help. I use nevskayapalitra gouache paints.

@shivanipatelart 4 ай бұрын

I've tested this out extensively and I've never faced any issues (with Winsor and Newton gouache at least). I'd recommend doing a test. Just paint out swatches of all your colours and apply the wax varnish over them. If you don't face issues with the test swatches, it's unlikely you'll face issues when applying it on your final paintings too. :)
