Professional Protection with a Soft, Matte Finish
Winsor & Newton Oil Matte Varnish is a professional-grade final varnish formulated to protect oil paintings while preserving a subdued, non-reflective surface. It creates a durable, clear barrier that resists dirt, grease, and environmental pollutants, helping to maintain the integrity of your artwork over time. This varnish also offers strong UV protection, reducing the risk of fading caused by light exposure, and features a non-yellowing formula that keeps your colors true and vibrant.
With a quick-drying composition and smooth application, it ensures an even, streak-free matte finish without blooming or cracking. Designed for flexibility, this varnish is removable with Artists’ White Spirit or Distilled Turpentine, allowing for safe revarnishing in the future. Whether you're sealing a gallery piece or finishing a studio work, this varnish delivers a long-lasting matte surface that enhances protection without adding shine.
