    I ordered the matte varnish to finish my acrylic painting because i read that it might lighten it up slightly


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When i painted my picture it dried darker than i was expecting so i wanted to try to balance it out


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The texture is thinner and runnier than i expected so after doing 2 coats on my large painting i still have half of a bottle left for future projects

    Hoping i can negotiate the mixing a little bit and make it work

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have a separate clear varnish for that


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I followed the advice of fellow artists and tried this results were excellent it made the oil paint just thin enough to glide on with ease
