Hi Patricia, yes I do varnish my acrylic paintings (Though it is not necessary), but these are mainly my larger pieces. If I use a gloss medium with my acrylic paints, I find that it is unnecessary to varnish. ;) Sometimes I also use a retouch varnish on my oil paintings. Kind regards John

Hello, I was wondering, so you ever varnish your paintings when completed? I've done both, no varnish and varnish with an isolation coat. Thanks for any info!
