Museum Conservation Institute: https://s.si.edu/2H1Dnai It came to my attention, recently, that there is some confusion and possibly some misinformation out there regarding the need to varnish our acrylic pours and acrylic paintings in general. I am here to tell you the facts from two of the most reliable sources I could find. I'll share the pros and the cons of using varnish. I'll explain why others use varnish and why I do what I do. What do you think? ____________________________________________ Courtney Hoelscher - Artist / Instructor I am a full-time artist and instructor.
