Hey Cathleen!! I can't thank you enough for this tutorial! Your method has finally FINALLY enabled me to get a lovely smooth varnished surface on my paintings! I've done so much research and tried so many different methods but always been haunted by bubbles, brush lines, gloops or blemishes. Gave your method a go last night and POW! Perfect finish! Thank you!! xx By the way, our son, Toby (15, autistic, superstar) has watched a lot of your videos with me. The other day we welcomed a group of relatives into my father in law's new apartment for a little drinks party. As they came in, Toby said, "Welcome to the No Bra Zone!!" It was so funny! Completely out of the blue and I didn't realise he'd been listening that closely to the videos! Thanks again! We love you! Helen and Toby xx

@andrewwerth8312 22 күн бұрын

Thanks for this nice video demonstration. It looks like you're getting very good results with your technique, but I wanted to add one important bit of info: If you're using Liquitex Orange Bar Varnishes (e.g., High Gloss or Satin), those are *non-removable* varnishes. The isolation coat might help in the sense of getting an even application of varnish, but in this case it doesn't really help with conservation of the painting. You could just as easily add an extra layer of the Liquitex varnish instead of the Golden Isolation Coat. If, instead, you used one of the Golden Polymer UVLS removable varnishes or one of the Liquitex Solvent-based varnishes or other varnishes specifically listed as "removable", then the isolation coat helps with protecting the painting if you need to remove the varnish.

@COZCreationsArt 21 күн бұрын

Andrew thank you and YES. The isolation coat aids in giving me a smooth surface for my varnish to be applied. Thank you so much for your comment and suggestions. Nice to meet you Andrew

Happy birthday yesterday! great tutorial! I see so many artists resin their work and wonder why, I guess it's all preference. I've resined a few and hated what it did to the painting's appearance. Im hoping and praying that I make it to the fluid art experience in July but Im worried that I won't be able to go. I blew my knee out on my birthday 2 months ago and have been wheelchair bound ever since. If Im still wheelchair bound I won't go as it's too hard to manage on my own. Im really looking forward to meeting you and learning new things so I'll just keep praying for healing!

I use Gamvar by Gamblin. It is a varnish and isolation coat in one. It goes on like an oil but can be used on acrylic or oil painting. I put 2 coats on an acrylic pour and it turned out beautiful. I put one coat on another pour for a test and then removed it with Gamsol mineral spirits. Came off beautifully.

Karen yes the varnish is self leveling. If you do your first coat and after it dries you see some brush streaks. Turn the canvas and apply a second coat in the opposite direction 😊
