About My Oil Paintings

Before painting on a new canvas I brush on a coating of white Acrylic Gesso. Doing this creates a white surface mat with a light tooth on the canvas. The tooth in artist terms is the tightness of the canvas weave. I use artist oil paints for all my canvas artworks. After the appropriate amount of time has passed my oil paintings receive an application of Artists' Retouching Varnish for a protection. It brings the original oil paint quality back from dry or dull oils. It is a preliminary non-yellowing varnish which keeps the painting safe while drying until a final varnishing can be applied at a proper time. If you like I am more than happy to varnish my original artworks for you.
