Paint & Brushes Winsor & Newton Winsor & Newton | Artisan Oil | Grounds | Mediums | Winsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Thinner 250Ml

As Artisan Thinner Does Not Form An Emulsion With The Colour, There Is Less Colour Change Than There Would Be With Water.

• Low Odour.
• Can Be Cleaned Up With Water.
• Can Be Combined With Artisan Oils To Prepare Mediums.

Varnishes Provide A Transparent Coating That Protects Your Finished Painting From Dirt & Dust. Picture Varnishes Are Usually Removable, Enabling The Painting To Be Cleaned In The Future. Varnishes Should Not Be Used As Mediums For Adding To The Colour.

Artisan Paintings Should Not Be Varnished Until Thoroughly Dry (At Least Six Months). Three Artisan Varnishes Are Available – Gloss, Matt, And Satin, Depending Upon The Desired Finish.

The Painting Will Benefit From Being Degreased Before Varnishing. This Can Be Done With Either Artisan Thinner Or Artists’ White Spirit (Mineral Spirits). Wipe Over The Surface Of The Picture Sparingly And Leave To Dry Overnight.

Wiping It Very Lightly Over With White Spirit Allows You To Clean The Surface From Any Grease Or Grime Onto The Surface. If There Was Any Trace Of Oil On Your Painting And You Varnished Without Cleaning It Off, The Varnish Would Reticulate Into Beads Where The Grease Is. The Cleaning Ensures That The Varnish Applies Well.</P
