Types of Varnish and Their Benefits
The choice of varnish depends on the medium and desired finish of the artwork, with both oil and acrylic varnishes offering distinct benefits. Oil varnishes are designed to preserve and protect oil paintings, adding a layer of gloss or satin finish that enhances the richness of the colours. Acrylic varnishes cater to acrylic pieces, offering finishes from matte to high gloss while safeguarding the work against UV rays and surface damage. Spray varnishes ensure even coverage across large surfaces, while brush-on varnishes allow artists to focus on details. Both types of varnish contribute to the artwork’s longevity, preserving its visual impact and ensuring it remains vibrant and protected for years.

Different techniques require specific canvas types to achieve the desired results. For smooth blending and fine details, tightly woven cotton or linen canvases are ideal. Textured canvases work well for bold, expressive brushwork, adding depth to your composition. Artists who work with heavy applications of paint, such as impasto techniques, benefit from sturdy, primed canvases that can support the added weight. Rolled canvases provide flexibility for custom sizes, while pre-stretched options are perfect for quick, hassle-free setups. Understanding the unique qualities of each type allows you to choose a canvas that complements your techniques, ensuring your artistic process is seamless and your results are stunning.
