Description
GAMVAR Satin – The perfect picture varnish.
Gamvar Satin saturates and gives greater depth to the colors in your painting and gives your work a unified and protective satin surface. Developed in collaboration with the National Gallery of Art, Gamvar goes on water-clear, stays water-clear and can be easily and safely removed with Gamsol. This varnish is virtually odorless and comes ready to apply – no mixing required. Unlike many varnishes, this product doesn’t yellow or become more difficult to remove over time. Additionally, it contains a UV stabilizer that keeps pigments from fading.
A THIN application of Gamvar is very important. Please watch the video below about correct application of Gamvar varnish.
Gamvar Satin gives your work a unified sheen as well as a protective satin surface. Gamvar saturates colors in your painting, yet dries to a lower gloss level as compared to the original gloss Gamvar.
Brush apply. Do not spray.
Gamvar can be applied when the thickest areas of your painting are thoroughly dry and firm to the touch.
Please visit Gamblin’s Using Varnishes page for additional information, including application tips and the use of Gamblin Cold Wax Medium as a matte varnish.
