Varnishing your oil painting with Liquin is a great way to protect your work and make it shine. Here’s how to do it:
1. First, make sure your painting is completely dry. If it’s not, the Liquin will not adhere properly and your painting could be ruined.
2. Once your painting is dry, apply a thin layer of Liquin with a brush.
3. Allow the Liquin to dry for at least 24 hours.
4. Once the Liquin is dry, you can apply a varnish of your choice.
5. Apply the varnish in thin, even coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
6. Once the final coat of varnish is dry, your painting is ready to be enjoyed!
