This very fluid medium produces a non-glare, low sheen surface that intensifies colors. Water soluble when wet, it becomes water resistant, flexible, archival and non-yellowing when dry. It also won’t crack from temperature and humidity changes.

Is this varnish suitable for oil paintings? I have use Liquitex Soluvar varnish in the past, but the cost is getting high.

Answer

The Acrylic Permanent Matte Varnish is not recommended for oil paintings. Liquitex does make an Acrylic Non-Permanent Matte Varnish that can be used on oil & acrylic paintings.

Liquitex quality, makes the glare disappear, protects, easy to apply and I've had no problem with any cloudy or milky spots.

Rated by: Kari C. in Valencia, CA

I really like this product. When applying, be careful not to let too much settle in the creases of texture or detail work because it will dry milky.

This is a wonderful product to protect art work. I use it a lot, but I wish I would have known it was a satin matte before I got it. I wanted less shine on the particular project I used it for. But, for the normal projects, it's great!

I have used Liquitex brand for over 40 years, and have yet to find a product I don't like. This varnish really brings out the intensity of the colors. I prefer this matte varnish over the gloss, tho, as it does not show all the imperfections on the canvass and in the paint.

LIQUITEX Acrylic Matte Varnish is one of the best I have used. It's easy to apply and provides very nice coverage and enhances your art work.
