InactiveHi everyone! 👋
I recently completed a few acrylic paintings on canvas, and I’m thrilled with how they turned out. However, I’m not sure about the best way to seal them to protect the colors and add a nice finish.
I’ve heard about spray varnishes and brush-on sealers, but I’m worried about streaks or the varnish dulling the colors.
Do you have any recommendations for specific brands or techniques to use? Also, should I go for a glossy, matte, or satin finish to make the colors pop without being too reflective?

InactiveTo seal acrylic paint on canvas effectively, start by ensuring the painting is completely dry, then apply a clear acrylic sealer or varnish using a soft brush or spray. Opt for a glossy, matte, or satin finish based on your desired effect, and apply multiple thin coats for the best protection against dust, UV light, and moisture.

InactiveCongrats on finishing your acrylic paintings! To seal them and protect the colors, a high-quality acrylic varnish like Liquitex or Winsor & Newton is a great choice—both offer spray and brush-on options. If you’re worried about streaks, go with a spray varnish for a more even finish. Glossy varnish enhances color vibrancy but can be quite reflective, while matte reduces glare but may slightly mute colors; satin is a great middle ground that keeps colors rich without too much shine. Just make sure your painting is completely dry and cured before sealing.

InactiveOmega already hinted on its social media channels that today would be special. And indeed, the attentive Speedmaster enthusiast should immediately recognize the date. link October 3rd, 1962, was the day that an Omega watch entered space for the first time on Wally Schirra’s wrist.

InactiveBefore you apply any varnish, make sure your painting is completely dry. Acrylic paintings may feel dry to the touch within a day, but it’s best to wait a few days to a week, especially if you have thick layers of paint, to ensure it’s fully cured. Also, make sure the surface is clean and free of any dust, lint, or debris.
I, once, made a painting of coc mod apk images and it felt dry at first, but that was my mistake.-
