I was going back & forth in my head about how much damar varnish to spritz my sunbathing ladies with & so found Winsor & Newton's advice regarding varnish. I have to think real hard about my varnish use because their surfaces have been so delicately disrupted. I work so hard to make sure my paintings surfaces lay in such distinct elegant disputes I was humored by their recommendation. "Sometimes artists varnish their work to help stabilise surfaces with added texture or damaged layers, however, while varnish will certainly help, once the varnish is on it cannot be removed without damaging the work. If you have pictures like this, we recommend you keep the varnished work behind glass and think about how to improve your technique for the future."
