    2. What kind of brush?
    3. Should I use an isolation coat?
    4. How should I apply the varnish?
    5. Why should I varnish a painting in the first place?

    Hi Matt! :) Your paintings are beautiful, the realistic skin tones are an appreciated touch. Also, the purples and blues in the folds of the headcovers are so smooth & subtle, yet somehow vibrant. You got this blending with ACRYLIC?! I could only dream! Hopefully once I subscribe your talent will rub off on me haha

    • @fineartbymattphilleo

      Thank you so much Mary! 😀 The glazing technique makes it possible to blend with acrylic, because I use a lot of translucent layers that incrementally shift the value and color. You’ll find a LOT of instruction on how to do it here in my channel…and more to come! God bless you and your art.

    Thank you, Matt! Do you package this big painting any different than your smaller ones?

    • @fineartbymattphilleo
      @fineartbymattphilleo  6 місяців тому +2

      Yes, I use a lot more packaging--cushioning material for one this size! I recorded the process and I hope to post a video of it soon.

    Great info, thanks!
    Is oil the same technique?

    • @fineartbymattphilleo
      @fineartbymattphilleo  6 місяців тому

      I'm not sure. I really don't have a lot of experience with oils. The brushing technique is probably similar. But the kind of varnish you use would be different.

  • @brendawilliams685
    @brendawilliams685 6 місяців тому

    Fantastic job! I'm curious if varnishing can be done with mixed media. For example, if I use pastels with my acrylic will the varnish destroy or remove the pastel.

    • @fineartbymattphilleo
      @fineartbymattphilleo  6 місяців тому +1

      I wouldn’t recommend that. I used to sketch with pastel pencil and when I tried to seal in the sketch with acrylic medium it just about removed everything and smeared the rest! I would use a spray varnish instead for purely pastel work. For mixed media where you don’t plan to add any more paint, a spray varnish would work as well.

    • @brendawilliams685
      @brendawilliams685 6 місяців тому

      Thank you so much! I do use a spray varnish but it doesn't have a similar effect. Thank you immensely for your prompt reply and advice.😊

    Have you ever tried Gamvar? It can be used on oil and acrylic and it is removable.

  • @jonledin1
    @jonledin1 6 місяців тому +1

    just to be clear, the varnish you are using is a medium like matte medium, right? I was confused since it looks like matte medium and applies the same way.

    • @lindacampbell5226
      @lindacampbell5226 6 місяців тому +1

      Matt used Matt Varnish (acrylic).

    • @fineartbymattphilleo
      @fineartbymattphilleo  6 місяців тому +3

      @@lindacampbell5226 Exactly. Unlike matt medium which dries flat, this varnish dries to a satin finish.
