Professional Matte Varnish for Acrylic Paintings & Artwork

The U.S. Art Supply Professional Matte Varnish is a 32 Ounce (1 Quart) Bottle, serving as an acrylic paint medium and providing a protective clear finish for paintings and artwork. This clear permanent protective finish dries clear, is non-yellowing, and water-resistant when dry.

To apply the varnish, it should be applied as a finish over completely dry acrylic paint, with at least 2 coats recommended. This varnish protects your artwork from getting UV damage.

The matte varnish helps reduce the shine of acrylic paints and also helps reduce glare when photographing artwork. It is non-toxic and conforms to ASTM D4236 safety standards.

The U.S. Art Supply Professional Matte Varnish is a versatile product that can be used to enhance and protect a variety of acrylic paintings and artworks. The clear, non-yellowing, and water-resistant finish it provides helps to preserve the vibrancy and integrity of the original artwork, while the matte finish helps to reduce unwanted glare and reflections.

One of the key benefits of this varnish is its ability to protect the artwork from harmful UV damage. Exposure to UV light can cause fading and discoloration over time, but the varnish acts as a barrier to prevent this from happening. This makes it an essential tool for artists and art enthusiasts who want to ensure their creations stand the test of time.

The matte finish of the varnish also serves an important practical purpose. Many acrylic paints have a natural sheen or glossy finish, which can be problematic when photographing the artwork. The matte varnish helps to reduce this glare, making it easier to capture high-quality, accurate images of the artwork.

In terms of application, the varnish is easy to use and dries quickly. It is recommended to apply at least two coats for optimal protection, allowing the first coat to dry completely before applying the second. This ensures a consistent and even coverage, which is essential for maintaining the overall appearance of the artwork.

Overall, the U.S. Art Supply Professional Matte Varnish is a valuable tool for artists and art enthusiasts alike. Its ability to protect and preserve acrylic paintings and artwork, while also enhancing the visual presentation, makes it a must-have product for anyone serious about their creative pursuits. With its non-toxic and safety-compliant formulation, it is a reliable and trustworthy choice for protecting your artistic investments.
