V A R N I S H I N G YOUR OIL PAINTINGS

Please Note :
In the past most of my ORIGINAL oil paintings have been sold without being varnished , this is because oil paint takes months even years to dry properly and they should not be varnished until properly dry, i do not like the gloss finish aquired when using retouching varnish, retouching varnish can be applied to newly painted works ! but as i say i dont like the finish so i have recently made up my own matt varnish mix which is now applied to all new works before they are sold. Any one who reads this and is in doubt as to whether or not there painting has been varnished should simply look on the back of the painting as i indicate this information there. It is important (should the painting not already be varnished) that you varnish it approx six months after your purchase ( you can buy small bottles matt or gloss picture varnish from your local art materials shop ) paintings that have a heavy thick layer of oil paint should not be treated until well over a year has gone by, you can apply Varnish yourself while the painting is still in its frame just take care not to hit the frame but coat right up to the edges

Use a CLEAN soft brush ( flat sable 1" is recomended ) , you can apply matt or gloss varnish, I prefer a matt finish and just one coat quickly applied and not to thick will do the trick.

This will help to keep the painting clean as house dust and the effects of sunlight may eventually discolor the painting, it brings out the true colour and makes it easyer to give the painting a light clean with a soft cloth or brush now and again just to remove the dust!! ...... Keith
