Winsor & Newton Oil Colour Varnishes are designed to enhance the creations of artists working with oil colour, such as Winsor & Newton’s Artist’s Oil and Winton Oilcolour ranges. Pale yellow in colour, Winsor & Newton Dammar Varnish dries quickly to a high gloss finish.

Why choose Winsor & Newton Dammar Varnish?

Suitable for use on oil and alkyd paintings, Winsor & Newton Dammar Varnish should be used in warm, dry conditions, once painting is completely dry (6-12 months). This varnish tends to darken with age, and is removable with Distilled Turpentine.

What is a Varnish?

Traditionally a combination of drying oil, resin, and a thinner or solvent, Varnish is a transparent liquid which dries to form a hard, protective film.

Why use a Varnish?

In addition to preserving artwork, and offering protection against dirt and dust, a varnish evens out the final appearance of the paint, ensuring a uniform finish.
