Description from the creator

How to varnish your acrylic painting Tips and Tricks was inspired by a oomment I got today from an English artist who felt her art work was not worthy of the expense of a coat of varnish.
ALL ACRYLIC PAINTINGS NEED A FINAL COAT OF VARNISH! Beginning painter or professional artists all need to know how to apply varnish. Here is why.
Acrylic paint need to have a final coat of varnish to protect the surface, and bring out the colors which dull somewhat after they dry. The varnish bonds on a molecular level with the paint and preserves the art and allows for cleaning the art without the paint comming off.
In this quick tip I show three different kinds of varnish by Liquitex and contrary to the directions on the bottle, the best way I have found to apply it.
For more great art lesson tips and to get step by step directions to the painting in the video, go to www.gingercooklive.gallery and look for the Waves and Water Masterclass series.
