Love this product but it’s never available!
This high gloss varnish by Liquitex is my favorite of any brand of varnish. Anywhere from 3-5 thin coats with very fast drying time equates to a beautiful finished product bringing colors back to the life portrayed when when the paint was wet. The problem: This varnish is never available online. And by never, I mean NEVER. I prefer to purchase the 32oz size given the type and size of work I do but I’ve attempted to purchase smaller quantities when I’ve run out and I’ve never seen them be in stock either, however, I speak about online only, perhaps in store customers fare better. If you use varnish and like it’s effects, I recommend this product. If you prefer a glass like mirror sheen I would recommend resin. Art Resin, sold at Michaels, is food safe, meaning you can serve food directly off of it after the product has cured, has no VOC’s (you don’t have to wear a special mask or any mask for that matter as it’s safe for your lungs) and contains
a UV protectectant or Stone Coat art resin which offers the same benefits.

It’s pretty good but...
I’ve been debating on getting this or art resin. I got this a few days ago and it definitely makes a difference, but it’s not really what I wanted. After multiple coats you can see the canvases little bumps as well as some swipe marks. I was hoping for a smooth finish. If your not looking for the smooth glass like finish then sure I recommend this.

Worth the investment
This product is so easy to use, clean up is a breeze, and it produces a great end result for artwork. Painting on canvas with acrylics is something I like to do and this high gloss varnish gives such a nice luster and deepens the color values so nicely. I highly recommend sealing your pieces and this product is well worth the investment.

Brings out the color in your paintings!
I used to use a cheap spray on varnish but I realized it doesn't lay on thick and can take up time by using more than one coat. So, I tried this pro lookin' bottle of varnish and let's just say...it's worth the extra buck. I think one coat just about does it. It has a blue foggy translucent sheen and dries up in about an hour but stops getting tacky after 12 hours I'd say. The varnish is outstanding when you use bright colors against dark colors. It gives your paintings life! Even the matte varnish gives it great protection and makes the painting look extremely smooth and professional.
