Once dry, acrylic paint forms a strong enough surface that there’s no need to varnish it for protection. It can still be a good precaution to take, if the painting will be hung in a harsh environment that includes smoke and dust. Be sure that your canvas is dry before varnishing it. It’s wise to wait three to five days for an average painting and a week or two if it has thicker coats (impastos.)
While watercolour is a relatively modern type of paint, its ancestry dates back throughout recorded history, and examples of watercolour work can be found in ancient Egyptian and early Oriental art. The medium is renowned for helping artists create liquid, luminous and transparent images, with a veil-like quality that’s quite different from the denser textures of acrylics and oils.
