How to Varnish a Painting

Students,
Many of you have asked about varnishing your paintings.  Check out the short video from Gamblin on my Facebook Page.

You can also use spray varnishes.  To prevent yellowing over time, avoid varnishes with copal or damar. Look for varnishes that specifically say "non yellowing."   Follow instructions carefully to avoid dripping or droplets of varnish on your painting.  Let me know if you have any questions or experiences to share.
