This is not just to protect but to improve the paint in most of cases... I cant wait to do it on my paints... I painted like 10 paints in 2 weeks and every one has their own spirit.. I am having a good time on my life... enjoy painting and I am trying to discipline myself to become a real artist... FInally I am getting something that is coming inside from me, despite I am "stealing" others tips and ideas... look me here, I am learning!!

Isolation coat was news to me...varnishing has just become very fundamental to my work so this was a really useful bit of information. Thank you.
@kittywilhite95832 жыл бұрын
I don't think an isolation coat is required unless you are using removable varnish and I'm not sure why a removable varnish would be used on an acrylic painting. I've been using non-removable acrylic varnish forever with no I'll effects that I know of. It protects the artwork and the varnish can be cleaned so there would be no need to remove it to clean the painting. What am I missing here? 🤔
@colinmitchellartwork3486 Жыл бұрын
@@kittywilhite9583 The isolation coat serves a couple purposes. First it evens out the finish of the painting to eliminate areas which might be more absorbent and which would make your varnish go on unevenly, and secondly it provides a barrier layer between the painting and the varnish, making removal easier and safer. The reason you want a varnish to be removable is because one of the purposes of a varnish is to take all the years of environmental abuse and protect the painting. Smoke, dust, dirt, etc... will over time be absorbed by the varnish, so by using a removable varnish all that grime gets cleaned off with the varnish when it becomes necessary to remove it. The painting stays nice and clean, and a fresh coat of varnish can be applied; but we're talking decades, or even a century or longer before it's usually done.
