Final Treatment with Varnishes | Schmincke Mediums and Varnish

A successful work of art deserves protection against dirt accumulation, pollution effects, sunlight degradation and other harmful influences. This ensures that it remains as the artist intended for many years to come. Moreover, there is often a desire to change or smooth out the surface of a work, whether increasing gloss or wanting a matt surface. These tasks can be performed by special final treatment mediums that Schmincke offer.

There are many different options: fixatives with a firming effect between coats of paint, finishing lacquers that are permanent and irreversible, and finishing varnishes that are reversible and removable at any time with a suitable solvent. There are also other special types for oil paintings: intermediate and retouching varnishes. They are all applied in the thinnest possible coats to a thoroughly dry surface.
