Hey there! I normally paint with acrylics and was wanting to seal my finished pieces but.....am not sure what to do that with! I'm worried about my finished paintings being too glossy but also want to protect them. Do you have any products you would recommend? Thank you for your time.

Hi! Yeah, there's a couple options for sealing acrylic works that I use. I'm sure there are more out there but these are my favorites from what I have personally tried.

I use Liquitex gloss varnish for most of my pieces. It brushes on and does a good job at protecting pieces from damage, moisture, and UVs. The glossiness ensures your darks remain dark, too, it tends to deepen the colors in a nice way, but the tradeoff is that it's very shiny. (Always apply this in multiple thin layers--applied too thick, it makes a strange surface effect that is undesirable.)

Since I do mixed media a lot, some of my materials will re-activate if I brushed an acrylic varnish over them, such as pastels. For this, I use Minwax Polycrylic spray protective finish, since it will seal even chunky stuff like oil pastels. The Polycrylic is pricy but comes in a matte spray which deepens the colors, protects the surface, AND isn't too shiny! I like the satin finish, too, and the gloss... it's a good, versatile spray varnish I use for lots of stuff. My partner uses the matte to seal his acrylic painted polymer clay sculptures.

They make matte varnishes that are brush-on, too, but I find the fogginess left by a matte finish doesn't flatter most paintings, so I opt for the shiny gloss instead. (Gloss also is easier to dust/clean.)

Hope this helps!

Varnished this baby one and a half years after painting it. I haven’t painted a lot lately so this has really motivated me to get back into it because it’s my favourite part of the painting process (it also motivated me to rewatch Hannibal. haven’t seen that show in a hot minute)
