ABOUT THE PRODUCT VARNISH:

• Paint varnish is a clear, protective coating that is applied to paintings to protect them from dust, dirt, moisture, and fading. 
• Varnish can also be used to enhance the appearance of a painting by adding a layer of shine or matte.
• There are two main types of paint varnish: oil-based and water-based. 
• Oil-based varnishes are more durable and provide better protection, but they can be difficult to apply and clean up. 
• Water-based varnishes are easier to apply and clean up, but they are not as durable as oil-based varnishes.
• When choosing a paint varnish, it is important to consider the type of paint that was used to create the painting. 
• Oil-based paints should be varnished with an oil-based varnish, and water-based paints should be varnished with a water-based varnish.

Here are some types of varnish,

• Gloss finish: A glossy finish will make the colors more vibrant and shiny.
• Matte finish: A matte finish will reduce the glare and the colors will be softened.
• Satin finish: A satin finish is somewhere between gloss and matte.
