I have used Gamvar over the years. I like it on acrylic paintings. But for oils, not so much. My only reason to varnish is to bring the colors back that have sunken. Oiling out may be enough to do this. My problem with Gamvar is it looks a bit plastic over oil paint and the sheen is odd compared to using damar varnish.

I have been a professional full-time artist over thirty years and I too have a shop trying to sell prints. I can't give the crap away

Merry Christmas!!!!!🎄 ❤. Question Where do I go to get prints made of my art. Does a professional photographer needed to make shots of artwork so it can be printed? I am trying to turn professional from hobbyist.

Had to quickly re-upload this because the first one was cut off. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE 🎅 🎄

I’ve wanted to try oil painting for so long, I only have pastels, acrylics and watercolors

Thanks for this, Ricky!! You're awesome

How about trying the satin?

You can just put your pallet in the freezer oil paint will not dry out.

You need the sponge and palette paper. Follow the instructions.

I've been using my Masterson sta wet palette for a few months. I love it. Paints stay wet for at least a week. You can also wash the pàlette paper that comes with it and re-use it.

Nice honest video. Do you also airbrush?

You are a talented and sweet man, you should be proud of yourself❤

Thank you! Incredibly helpful and you have beautiful work.

Yes to putting your prints on your own website! 🎉

Congratulations on your show in BWI airport that’s huge❤

I just discovered your channel and am so happy to have been able to enjoy this experience with you. I'm glad it turned out so well and that the challenge was such a success! ☺️☺️☺️

Congrats on scoring your solo exhibition! You should be proud of yourself.

Hi! Came across your video totally randomly. Your art work is amazing! You are very talented. That last picture... I have no words. Good luck with your paintings and whatever you decide to do...

Your paintings are amazing!! I hope they get noticed more and your success rises.

This is beautiful. I hope you become successful. Out of curiosity how much do some of your paintings go for? Sorry if that's a rude question

wow u are really talented and underrated 🥰🥰

I really like Gamvar varnish too. When I apply the gloss version I use a light circular scrubbing motion. This seams to get it into the grooves and crevices. The gloss has less glare when I apply it that way. Great video and beautiful paintings !

What can be problematic with gloss varnish is that is reflects light like crazy.

Very nice! Love the colors and style, and the composition is awesome, too!

that is truely beautiful! You are very talented.

That’s beautiful I love the contrast and movement

That music sent me back too far

Lake music hits hard

Where did you get your sheets from?

That 4K richness of the colours popping out... I think you need to alter your settings in post-production and then the magic will be plain to see. Those paintings are amazing, particularly as you were working in oils, which is like attempting painting in Marmite and jam! But I was going to say for the benefit of anyone reading this, if you're painting in acrylic you need a protective isolation layer between varnish and paint. I did some experimenting with different layers of different things and varnish straight on certain acrylic paints made the colours run badly. I'm a fan of matt varnish. I like it to look like it's not even there!

Thanks for your wonderful video and I am going to watch more and subscribe!

You can also seal the pallet better by applying baby oil which does not cure to the top edge of the side where the lid is pressed down. This does help but I’m going to try the clove oil on a cotton ball in a corner which was recommended by another viewer.

Good job

dope art bro

Love the detail in the braids!

They great!

Fabulous rose 👏🏻👏🏻 beautiful nature scene!👏🏻👏🏻

Wow the painting of the dude with sunglasses is excellent!

I use Gamvar gloss, it makes the acrylic look more bold, rich and bright. I use a sponge to apply. Love your beautiful paintings! Blessings 🙏 to you!

Love your paintings ,

As an avid Art Collector, It all depends on the Artwork. In some rare cases, a combination of different sheened varnishes should be used in different areas of the artwork. As an Art collector, I end up with inevitably older paintings that suffer from old and degraded varnish or in some cases none at all. Satin varnish is my go-to most of the time as gloss tends to reflect to much light and changes the overall painting's look and matte is just a bit dull unless the original painting was meant to have that sheen. Remember what varnish is for, it is meant to be a protective barrier for the painted surface from minor abrasions, contaminants as well as UV not to change the artist's intended work. For the contemporary artists today as the original creator it is very important to consider this step carefully as its the finishing touch and it makes a difference. I have seen a few artworks that suffered from the wrong varnish as well as benefit greatly from varnish.

You should try a test where you use the gloss varnish first then the matt. I beleive you will get the rich colors and not the reflections. Cool videos.

That reminds me of those popsicles from the ice cream trucks

Please I need help (suggestion)from everyone? Which type of varnish do you like most. Is it gross math? Which one looks more professional oil painting?

Congratulations! That's so exciting. They're beautiful!

They are beautiful ❤

So… as we've always thought, you need to just have a shit load of layers and some keep colours the sock into each other for a little while and then when they're right you pull the colors out. Some really old pieces can use some varnish, probably dust them or clean off the bullshit first.
