Join Opus staff member Colin Mitchell, and discover the ins and outs of varnishing an acrylic painting and why it is the crucial final step in an artists process.

From selecting your varnish, to applying an isolation coat, to completing the final varnish layer, Colin will walk you through all the steps as he demystifies this often intimidating process.
