| Being varnished: "Golden Moment Against the Reds" oil on canvas, 48 x 48 inches |
Here is a foolproof method to varnish your oil paintings with a semi-gloss finish. They will be ready for transport the next day and will be virtually odorless after drying.
Note that Ken is applying the varnish in his garage and they will dry there overnight and without the fumes in your home or studio. There are more formal ways to do the final varnish to oil paintings, but since my oils are recently created, they are not ready for a final varnish, so I'm using retouch varnish here. The end result is a perfect, semi-gloss finish that is ready to hang in 24 hours.
Thank you, Forrest Moses for showing me this valuable technique.
