Varnishing your acrylic paintings will coat your work with a clear, non-porous layer, which will protect your paintings from dust and grime and make them easier to clean. Applying an isolation coat to your painting before varnish will provide a barrier between the surface of your painting and the layer of varnish, making it easier to remove and replace varnish in the future, should the varnish become stained or dirty. An isolation coat will also provide moisture to the surface of your painting, protecting any paint that might be underbound, reducing the risk of the paint flaking off in the future. Both the isolation coat and varnish can be applied with a varnishing brush, which is flat and relatively short and soft haired, designed to easily apply even and thin layers. An alternative to applying varnish with a brush is the range of spray varnishes available, which should be applied thinly and in several layers.
