Ultra Gloss Varnish - 3.78L

Regular price $179.99
Sale price $179.99 Regular price
In stock Low stock Unavailable
Liquitex high gloss varnish enhances the intensity, transparency and luminosity of colours. It protects and improves the fluidity of paint and its adherence to supports. Of medium viscosity, it becomes transparent upon drying, stays smooth and does not yellow. Important information : For interior and exterior use. The permanent varnishes are irreversible and must always be tested before being applied. The painted surface must be completely dry (between 72 hours and 2 weeks, depending on thickness) before applying the varnish. Shake the varnish before use. For a better result, shake the varnish the day before and let it sit in order to avoid the formation of air bubbles when applying. The varnish can also be mixed gently with a stick before use in order to prevent the formation of bubbles. Apply 1 to 3 light coats, instead of one single thick coat. A thick coat will take longer to dry, may run or sink in during application and may result in visible paint marks when dry. Lay the work to be varnished flat on a table. Do not dilute the varnish as it will then be more likely to produce air bubbles. Use : Can be mixed with acrylic colours to thin out the colour or to create glossy glazes. Supports : suitable for all supports. Drying time : 3 to 5 days with acrylic. Let dry for 3 hrs between each coat.

Acrylic paint is the most versatile medium in the studio: fast-drying, water-soluble, and compatible with almost any surface.

DeSerres carries acrylic paints in student and professional grades, brushes, canvases, gels, mediums and texture pastes, from the brands artists trust for consistent colour and quality.


What do I need to start painting with acrylics?

A starter acrylic kit needs paint, brushes, a surface and a palette. For paint, a set of 12 colours in student grade covers the basics; add titanium white and ivory black as essentials. For brushes, a mix of flat and round synthetic brushes works best with acrylics. For surfaces, stretched canvas or canvas panels are the most common choices. A stay-wet palette keeps your paint workable longer. Add a retarder medium if you want more blending time. Explore our Paint collection, Paintbrushes, Canvases and Painting Accessories.
