Our adult education teacher introduced me to this medium in my acrylics class. I am new to this kind of painting. This product gives the my work an almost translucent, luminous quality. I love the effects I can achieve.

I am using this product for a finishing gloss over the Liquitex acrylic. Once again, the price is so great that I could buy a trusted name brand product! I just can't say enough great things about the products and service I have received from MisterArt.com!

I was very pleased with this product, I mostly see products similar to these to seal my paintings once finished, but I am considering trying it mixed with my acrylics while painting...

Rated by: Cindy B. in Grand Junction, CO

I have only used this to varnish a couple of my first paintings to see how they look varnished, and I LOVE how they look. I haven't used it yet DURING the painting process.

I go through this multi purpse varnish constantly. Its great for adding to paint I'm running low on!

Rated by: Kelly C. in Camden, NC

I like this varnish, it's glossy which is just what I needed. It dries quickly and is easy to clean up. Love the price, too!

Rated by: Therin B. in Buena Vista, CO

Great varnish, really brings out the colors, but it does show all imperfections. I prefer the matte varnish, unless my canvass and paint are perfectly smooth.

Rated by: Sheila M. in Denham Springs, LA

I like the way it mixes with my craft paints to give a translucent look.

Rated by: Brenda C. in Walterboro, SC

Excellent varnish, dries fast and no yellow tinge, clear when dry. Not too glossy. I've used it for years and recommend it highly

Rated by: Rosemary B. in St.George, UT

This quality product adds an incredible gloss coating to acrylic paintings and dries very quickly. The gallon container is economical. I wouldn't sell an acrylic painting without it!
