Very cool painting. Love the technique. Really speeds up the process.

THANK YOU ROY I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING STREAKS IN MY PAINTINGS. I LUV THE WAY YOU VARNISH IT. I AM CHANGING TO THIS WAY.💥💥💥💥💥

You make vanishing a painting so easy. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the reply and for sharing this process. I did put a second coat. It made the process so much easier while protecting our paintings. As you said I just made sure I checked with good lighting.

Thank you for teaching me this!

Thank you Roy. It really helped out. Did you do more than one coat of varnish and if yes how long did you wait between coats? Much appreciated!

Glad to come across someone else who likes satin varnish. Seems most varnishing videos use gloss. Your method looks worth a try.

Got a commision to redo this cat table It's painted wood 2:34

Hi, class painting! What is the layer of clear coat you say u use before adding the varnish? Is it a specific product or medium, and may i ask what brand. thankyou

Roy, thanks for this, I'm new to varnishing and your video makes it easy, not so scary!! Don't think I missed you saying how many coats, would you do at least one more? Thanks!

What kind of sponge is that and where can I find it????

Brilliant. Drew up something loosely and came searching for a similar concept to solve a similar issue. 👍🏻

Great info. So do you only use a big sponge so it doesn't streak? Thank you

Spray clear coat of what?....

Need more!

Hey Roy you think using this method on a printed banner would work ????

Great Idea, I've been working much larger these days and have had so much difficulty varnishing large canvases. Wish I'd seen this sooner. I'm now trying to make a fix on one of my pieces from a varnish mess. Ahh.

Thank you so much for this information and demonstration. You’ve taken the fear out of varnishing! Great painting too! 🙏👏👍

How long to dry or let the painting set before the finish. And how long to let that set before you can lift and move the painting without varnish running?

Can you do this with collage on canvas? I’m worried the sponge will ruin some of the glued elements. I feel a brush would be more gentle for collage.

how long to wait before you varnish a completed painting?

Do you draw them first before painting?

Hey I know this video was filmed 5 years ago and more as a tutorial but i wanted to appreciate the painting :)). The colours are really nicely chosen, great job

Great video. I stuffed up an important painting with a brush. BTW I love your artwork.

Thank you Roy! I hate using a brush because I get the streaks as well. Love the painting!

You said you first used clear coat because you use pencils can you tell me which clear coat you used . I to use pencils . Thanks so much I am feeling better about vanishing my painting .😊

I use sponge brushes to apply varnish. Works great.

Roy, I didn’t put the paint in the paste , so I wonder, do I have to use a lot more paint to cover my large canvas? Or can I mix the paint with water? Will it wreck my paste?

Can you do multiple coats with this method?

Amazing video and it works perfectly Thank you

Hi Roy, so glad to see your tutorial today! I’ll definitely give it a try on my acrylic paintings. One question - after use, can the sponge be washed and cleaned for future use? Thanks for your tips ❤

Wow. Never seen this method before! So, one coat does it? Where do you get that type of sponge? The guitar is smashing! Well, we don’t really want to do that. 😅

You, Sir, have just given me years of my life back. Varnish days are my very least favourite studio time. All the time I'll get back just in the hours of procrastinating! 😂 Thank you!

what do you use as a clear coat? do we need to do an isolation coat before applying varnish? thank you!!

What type of clear coat??

Interesting approach- seems easier with a sponge

THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME

What clear coat did you use to seal the pencil lines?

Do yiu just do one coat?

I was so pleased with a recent painting only to leave behind brush marks after varnishing. I saw your video and tried the sponge with a 3rd coat and it smoothed it out. I'll definitely be using this method from now on! Thanks for the video!

This war really helpful, thanks a lot man!

Wow!! Thank you for sharing!!

Thanks for your advice!!!

The struggle is real! Thanks for this info. It was a big relief when you said you previously got streaks. It's so easy to think your hand isn't steady enough. Your art is beautiful, too.

This works amazingly ! Thank you, def don’t buy a cheap sponge . Question #1 , do you just use one sponge for each piece , or do you wash out the varnish ? I kept mine in a ziplock bag and rinsed -squeezed out the varnish and then re-wet the sponge before using again. I haven’t found a easier method yet. Thank you ! Any tips on washing or throwing out after each use ? I kept finding small pieces of the sponge “just a heads up “ most of my pieces are very heavy textured and thick layers .

Awesome! With the clear coat. Do you use only 1 layer of it? ✌🌿

Love ot. You painted a guitar! Lovely

I was using the Liquitex Gloss Varnish on my acrylic pours, pouring it up in a glass and using a 70mm paint brush to coat, always getting to eye level with the painting to look for paint brush strokes, but after seeing this method being used, I’m going to begin doing that instead! 👌🏻

LIFE SAVER. thank you!!

Extremely happy to find your video, im crazyyy looking at the strokes of mine, i wish i could fix it with your method thank youuuu ✨🙏🏼
