Additional information:

Gallery frame vs. regular frame
Gallery frames are generally deeper/thicker than regular frames. With the gallery frame, you can frame a gallery or regular profile canvas without the canvas sticking out the back. You also have the gallery photo frame with glass, which is deeper and will stand out more on your wall.

What is a floating frame?
As the name implies, a floating frame is designed in such a way that your artwork appears to float within the frame; it is not pressed behind a piece of glass. Because of this illusion, viewers gain a sense of 3D depth. Floating frames are particularly suitable for stretched canvases. Unlike traditional frames, floating frames feature a front-loading design; the canvas is dropped in from the front and secured in place from the rear. They allow you to see all the way to the edge of the artwork so none of it is obscured by the frame. If you’re looking for a gallery-style look, floating frames are your answer.

What is a mat?
A mat is a piece of cardboard (usually with an opening in the centre) that leaves a space between the photo and the frame. It is only suitable for paper artwork, not canvases. When a mat is used, there is usually a glass panel to protect the photo and the mat. Finally, when you see the words "acid-free or conservation", it means that the mat is archival quality and will not fade, yellow or alter the work over time.

Matte Varnish - 3.78L

Regular price $179.99
Sale price $179.99 Regular price
In stock Low stock Unavailable
This 100% acrylic polymer varnish protects acrylic colour from harsh elements. Dries to a clear, non-tacky, hard, flexible surface that is resistant dirt retention and water when dry.  Of fluid viscosity, Liquitex varnish becomes transparent upon drying, stays smooth and does not yellow. 

  • 100% acrylic polymer varnish
  • Water soluble when wet
  • Good chemical and water resistance when dry
  • Non-tacky
  • Hard, yet flexible surface
  • Resistant to dirt retention
  • Resists discolouring due to humidity, heat and ultraviolet light (non-yellowing, non-fogging)
  • Depending upon substrate, allows moisture to pass through (breathable)
  • Not for use over oil paint
  • Protects acrylic colour
  • Archival
  • For interior and exterior use


Application

  • Apply as a final varnish over dry acrylic paint.
  • Varnish surface and environment must be clean, dry and dust free.
  • Acrylic paintings must be completely dried and cured for 48-72 hours before varnishing. Thicker acrylic applications may take more time to cure.
  • Application may be done by brush or spray. Generally a sprayed application will be thinner, smoother and more even. Rolling or sponging application is not recommended.
  
   
Caution: Acrylic paints and mediums become increasingly brittle in cold weather. Do not apply below 60°F. 


Tips & Techniques
  • Use a wide, soft hair brush. Generally, a 1 to 4 inch flat brush is used, depending on the surface area.
  • Apply Liquitex varnish in 1-3 thin coats, rather than 1 thick coat. A thick coat will take longer to dry, may dry cloudy, may drip or sag during application and has a greater chance of showing brush strokes when dry.
  • When applying Liquitex Matte Varnish, apply no more than 1-2 thin coats. A thick application may result in cloudiness when dry. If more than 2 coats are desired, first varnish with gloss varnish until desired thickness is achieved and then apply a final coat of matte varnish.
  • Canvas should be placed horizontally in order to prevent the varnish from running. After varnishing, the surface should be shielded with a protective "tent". This will prevent any dust or airborne particles from settling into varnish as it dries.
  • Apply Liquitex varnish in slightly overlapping pattern that covers entire artwork. Apply in horizontal and vertical brush strokes, so that entire area is evenly coated.
  • Do not rework areas you might miss as the brush could pick up partially dried varnish and cause clouding. If areas are missed, wait until the varnish is dry and apply another coat.

   
Spray Application: Use for textured surfaces (thick impasto, thick textures), where brush application may result in foaming and fragile surfaces (watercolor, tempera, graphite, pastel, gouache), where brush application may disrupt drawing or painted surface. 

Thinning: Do not thin, as it will weaken the varnish film and adhesion. 

Removal: Not removable. Do not attempt to remove these varnishes with harsh solvents. 

Tool care: Clean with soapy water while varnish is still wet.

DIY Creative Decorations: Make It, Personalize It, Display It

There's something deeply satisfying about decorating with something you made yourself. DeSerres brings together everything you need to bring that idea to life: chalk markers for bold lettering on any surface, modelling clays and air-dry compounds for sculptural objects, pouring mediums for fluid, abstract finishes, stencils and frames to customize, embroidery hoops for textile art, and a full range of varnishes, gessos, and mediums to prep, protect, and finish your work.

Where do you start with a DIY decoration project?

The best starting point is the surface or object you want to transform. A bare wooden frame, a plain canvas, an air-dry clay piece, a candle: each one opens up a different creative direction. Chalk markers work on glass, chalkboard, and wood without any prep. Modelling paste and gesso build texture on almost any surface before paint goes on. Pouring mediums create organic, flowing patterns with minimal technique required. And once your piece is finished, the right varnish seals and protects it for the long term.
