How to Varnish an Oil Painting

June 28, 2018 in Tutorials, YouTube Tutorials, YouTube Videos, Oil Paintings

Welcome fellow artists! I've got a super simple video for you today, but if you're anything like me you want even the simplest artsy stuff explained before you jump into it yourself.

Varnishing an oil painting is actually really easy. It only takes a few supplies, but it's important to wait until your painting is completely dry and set so I like to wait between 2-6 months (depending on paint thickness) before varnishing any of my works. 

Do you need any varnish? Using my links will help support my YouTube channel. Thanks!
