Description
Ensure your acrylic paintings stand the test of time with a quality finishing varnish. Once applied over a completed piece of artwork, this varnish provides a matte finish while protecting the painted surface from damaging environmental effects, including harmful ultraviolet light. Translucent when wet, this varnish dries to a non-tacky, hard, flexible surface that is resistant to dirt retention and discolouration, protecting brilliant acrylic colours from the harsh elements.
Details:
- Available in multiple sizes
- Water soluble when wet
- Archival and water resistant when dry
- Non-yellowing and non-fogging
- For use with acrylic paints
- For interior and exterior use

Mostly good
Made textures uniform in acrylic painting, but felt like there was a slight, milky look afterwards

Thin layers and vibrancy
Does what it needs to do. Can go on a little cloudy but I've found that very thin layers is best for the most vibrant look.

Worth the buy!
I used this to seal acrylic paint on the back of a fish tank. The liquid was thick and there was little to no mess. I dried relatively quickly and I am so pleased with the results.

Liquitex Varnish Completes a Painting
This product, Liquitex Matte Varnish, should be applied to every acrylic painting, and oil paintings as well. It brings out the brilliance of every color and enhances any painting by giving it depth. I recommend two coats, the first to seal and unify the work, and the second to create chatoyance and a rich finish to any painting.

Works great! Thinner than I expected, but the consistency did not effect final result

This one works for me.
I varnished a painting with a gloss finish and really didn't like the results, so I used the Matte finish varnish (2) coats over the gloss finish and was really happy with the results. Thumbs up with this one. (:

Decent matte varnish
This varnish is okay. I tried multiple brushes, including foam, and it left brush strokes on the canvas. Also, I used it on a ceramic coaster I painted and the paint kept smearing when I applied the varnish, even after letting it dry for days before applying varnish.

Liquitex matte varnish
This will be absolutely flat. I mix it in with gloss to give a semi-satin finish.

Truly matte finish, but is it UV resistant?
This product is the most matte varnish I have tried. It went on easily, dried quickly but not so quickly that it left brush strokes or that puddles couldn't be blended out. The online write up says it protects against UV, but it doesn't say so on the bottle, so I crossed my fingers and hope my work is protected against sun damage and fading.

Has a shene but not shinny just right
I bought satin first and it was a little to shinny for my taste so i went back and bought the matte and worked for me.

Great product
I had always used Liquitex gloss, which is also a great product, but for most of my artwork (acrylic) I had felt like it needed a matte look for my paintings to look the best they can. After using this matte varnish I am very happy with the look and the ease of application.

When you use it, wear rubber gloves if you will be touching that which you’ve painted. It’s excellent for a matte finish on any work.

Great varnish
If you follow the directions and use a thin coat with long strokes you should get a great result.
It worked great for sealing a mural over acrylic paint.

Liquitex Matte Varnish
Liquitex Matte Varnish is great if you don’t want much if any sheen on your artwork. If I do want a bit more of a gloss I mix Liquitex Matte Varnish with some Liquitex Satin Varnish. Perfect every time!

Worked okay on some of my paintings. Others not so great. I think I will try a spray varnish next time.
