Liquitex Professional Varnish Assortment

Liquitex Acrylic Polymer Varnishes are applied over dry paint films, protecting the painting surface from the environment and ultraviolet light. These varnishes may be used to saturate and reveal a painting’s surface, thereby unifying the overall sheen. They are both permanent or removable and may be applied to both flexible and rigid supports.

Gloss Medium & Varnish

Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish is the workhorse of the Liquitex Mediums range. Gloss Medium & Varnish is an all-purpose medium that performs two functions. It can be used as a varnish and a fluid gloss medium. It improves the adhesion of paint film and increases colour depth, intensity, and gloss. It can also be used as a non-removable varnish to protect the surface and establish an even gloss sheen.
