The Role of Varnish in Enhancing Colored Pencil Art
The application of varnish on colored pencil artwork is a crucial step that can greatly enhance the aesthetic appeal and longevity of the piece. It adds a protective layer, safeguarding the artwork from harmful elements such as dust, UV rays, and humidity. It not only preserves the vibrancy and intensity of the colours but also provides a professional finish, making the art piece look more polished and refined. The Sydney Art Store offers an array of quality varnishes tailored for colored pencil art. These varnishes are made from high-quality materials and are known for their durability and lasting performance. They are easy to apply, dry quickly, and do not alter the original colours of the artwork. With these varnishes, artists can ensure that their colored pencil creations remain as stunning as the day they were made, for many years to come.
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.

Spray varnishes are perfect for achieving even coverage on larger pieces, while brush-on varnishes offer precision for detailed applications.
