Daler Rowney Retouching Varnish for Oil (75 ml)

Creative Continuity: Daler-Rowney 75ml Oil Retouching Varnish

Keep your oil painting sessions moving smoothly with Daler-Rowney Retouching Varnish , available now at Hadafy. Unlike traditional final varnishes that require months of curing time, this high-quality, temporary varnish can be applied to oil paintings as soon as they are touch-dry. It acts as an invaluable studio tool by reviving “sunken-in” or dull matte areas on the canvas, instantly restoring their original depth, gloss, and color brilliance so you can accurately judge your palette for subsequent layers. Its breathable formula forms a flexible, lightweight shield that guards your painting against dust and grease while still allowing the underlying oil paint film to oxidize and cure naturally beneath it.
