Oil on Canvas

it was my study about oil colors ,

i used WinsorWewton canvas and colors , this brand is perfect .

varnish

To ensure your finished oil or acrylic painting to stay looking its best then adding the right varnish in the right way will be a sound investment. Varnish protects the painting from dirt and dust and evens out the painting’s final appearance, making it all equally glossy or matt.

Over the years dirt and dust will stick to the varnish rather than the painting and when the time is right, the varnish itself can be removed and the painting re-varnished to look as good as new.

it is better to varnish oil paintings after 6 month , the oil colors must completely get dry ...
i did it for this painting after some months

It is best to avoid leaning varnished paintings together as they may stick.

How to varnish your oil painting

1. Wait until your painting is completely dry.
  1. Choose a dust free area to work in, keeping windows and doors closed.
  2. Use a flat wide, soft, varnishing brush , keep it clean and use it only for varnishing.
  3. Keep the work to be varnished flat on a table or work surface – avoid working vertically.
  4. Leave to dry for 24 hours .

Oil painting is one of my favourite media, after black and white ink.
Why would you varnish your frame? I'm just a beginner, treat me like a baby ^^

varnish protects the painting from dirt and dust and yellowing by time ,
so for works i want to keep them safe i use it
