Product details
Description
Liquitex Professional High Gloss Varnish is a premium, water-based acrylic medium designed for artists who want to protect and elevate their finished masterpieces. This 100% acrylic polymer fluid dries to a hard, flexible, and completely non-tacky surface that shields acrylic paintings, woodcrafts, and mixed media from environmental hazards. It unifies surface sheen while dramatically increasing color saturation, depth, and overall brightness without altering the underlying tones.
Engineered to offer archival-grade durability, this varnish protects delicate pigments against harmful ultraviolet light degradation, moisture, scratches, and dirt retention. It is non-yellowing, water-resistant once dry, and breathes easily to prevent moisture trapping. Perfect for professional artists, students, and hobbyists alike, this non-toxic formulation is ideal for rigid surfaces and canvas.
By sealing artwork with this clear, brilliant gloss layer, you ensure long-lasting preservation and a professional gallery-ready presentation for years to come.
How to use

FAQs
Is Liquitex high gloss varnish waterproof?
Yes, Liquitex Professional High Gloss Varnish dries to a water-resistant finish. Once completely dry and cured, it protects the underlying acrylic paint layer from ambient moisture and superficial water contact.
Can you use Liquitex high gloss varnish over oil paint?
No, this water-based acrylic polymer varnish is specifically formulated for acrylic paints and acrylic-compatible surfaces. Applying a water-based acrylic medium directly over oil paint can lead to adhesion issues and cracking over time.
How long should acrylic paint dry before applying Liquitex varnish?
It is essential to let your acrylic painting dry completely for at least 72 hours before applying this permanent varnish. If the paint is thick, wait an extra few days to ensure all trapped moisture has fully evaporated.
Is this Liquitex varnish authentic and imported directly to India?
Yes, this is an authentic product imported directly from the USA. Dropy India sources genuine international art supplies to ensure Indian artists receive premium, studio-grade materials safely.
Can this professional high gloss varnish be removed later?
No, this is a permanent, non-removable acrylic polymer varnish. Once it dries and cures into a hard, flexible layer, it becomes an archival part of the artwork and cannot be dissolved without damaging the painting.
