Dammar Varnish (75ml)

Winsor & Newton Oil Colour Varnishes are designed to enhance the creations of artists working with oil colour, such as Winsor & Newton’s Artist’s Oil and Winton Oil colour ranges. Pale yellow in colour, Winsor & Newton Dammar Varnish dries quickly to a high gloss finish. Why choose Winsor & Newton Dammar Varnish? Suitable for use on oil and alkyd paintings, Winsor & Newton Dammar Varnish should be used in warm, dry conditions, once painting is completely dry (6-12 months). This varnish tends to darken with age, and is removable with Distilled Turpentine. What is a Varnish? Traditionally a combination of drying oil, resin, and a thinner or solvent, Varnish is a transparent liquid which dries to form a hard, protective film. Why use a Varnish? In addition to preserving artwork, and offering protection against dirt and dust, a varnish evens out the final appearance of the paint, ensuring a uniform finish. Who are Winsor & Newton? In 1832, William Winsor and Henry Newton introduced the first moist water colours to the world. Today, Winsor and Newton remain the premier choice for artists, offering a wide variety of fine art supplies including: oil, water colour, acrylic and alkyd paints, pastels, artists' brushes, canvases, papers and portfolios.
