Clear, Removable Varnish for Enhancing and Protecting Oil Paintings
This synthetic resin varnish is designed to protect oil paintings while enhancing color depth and surface richness. Developed in collaboration with the National Gallery of Art, it provides a water-clear, virtually odorless finish that saturates colors and brings out the full visual impact of the artwork. Unlike traditional damar varnishes, it won’t yellow over time and remains easily removable with an appropriate solvent.
Safe for use once the thickest paint areas are dry and firm, it is also compatible with water-miscible oil paints and can be applied over delicate materials like gold leaf.
