Winsor Newton Artist Gloss Varnish on Amazon: amzn.to/2Iv10YT
Which is a better varnish for oil paintings: Gamblin Gamvar or Winsor Newton Artists' Glass Varnish? Watch as my assistant Gerardo Nuñez and I compare both art varnishes, give our opinions, and I go into detail about my experience with both varnishes and thoughts on their differences.
Here's the Jackson's Art Supply UK blog post I mentioned - complete with still images of the two different varnishes applied to canvases: www.jacksonsart.com/blog/2017...

Great advise thank you, just what I needed.
Excellent review. I just used W&N UV gloss for acrylic and fortunately, it has no noticeable odour.
Thank you for this video and helping me decided. Your paintings are absolutely gorgeous. I used Dammar varnish once and it took about 6 months to dry.
Donna Haupt thank you!!
Thank You! Great Help.
Awesome. Sometimes putting varnish on is a scary step. This helps a lot.
I watched this after I varnished. I used a hog hair brush and used the Windsor newton. We’ll see what happens! It’s my first time varnishing and I wish I saw your video in particular first. I never thought about the roller before. I pored it directly onto my painting (oak panel) with it horizontal to the ground.
Thanks for the review! Great job man!
Thank you!
You can put Gamvar on as soon as the painting is touch dry. Other varnishes can be applied after 3 to 6 months.
That butterfly painting is beautiful. That's real art, unlike some of the crap hanging in galleries. I'm not an artist but I've subbed your channel. Great work.
I came here from a comment you made on another video. Your comment was very interesting. Had to find out more about you. Thanks.
the green ribbon club - Thanks very much! That is very encouraging.
Thank you for this, I found it really useful. I've been using Liquitex varnish on my paintings, but came across a reference to Gamvar so wanted to do a bit of research on it before buying, especially as I have a large painting to varnish for a birthday gift (I'll do a test run, or two, first). It's a scary thought - you make it look easy, but I have my heart in my mouth every time I do it. Your paintings are really beautiful, so I'm now heading off to your website for a longer look.
Any luck on your part using gamvar, or a no solvent varnish? I have no solvent, breathable eco acylic urethane ( wow great stuff) & I'm worried about applying it to soon. Been showing up for each client next day to finish sealer.
I believe that with the new formula Gamvar varnish for acrylic and oils you don't have to wash the brush/sponge - as the Gamvar re-activates on the brush/sponge the next time you dip it in, even after drying. Gamvar is removable as long as you use an isolation coat first of soft gel gloss medium (must be gloss which dries clear), you can then varnish with Gamvar gloss varnish or Gamvar satin varnish depending on the effect you want. If the varnish ever needs to be removed, it can be removed with Gamsol, and the isolation coat will stay intact, protecting your painting beneath. Always best to do a test patch on a spare canvas first.
Very helpful thank you!
Thanks!
magnifico video te felicito amigo
Muchas gracias!
I agree about Gamvar. I find that Gamvar attracts a lot of dust while it's drying. But that doesn't stop me from using it- I use it for all of the reasons you said. And I agree it seems possibly somewhat less durable- but maybe it is not. Can you review the spray varnish?
I can’t be exposed to toxic solvents or varnish anymore as I got terrible contact dermatitis after doing this video.
Sir could you please let me know if you are painting with oil or acrylic?
I'm painting with oil. I'll ad that I've had a bad skin breakout from one or both of the two varnishes I used during the recording of this video. I will never use anything with odourless mineral spirits again - at least not without covering myself in a full body hazmat suit.
You are Awesome!!!!! Thank you so much Jesse :)
Have you ever used a wide foam brush? Would it bubble more?
No I haven't. I'm not sure if it would bubble more or less. But if you haven't tried Gamvar yet give it a try because ALL the bubbles completely disappear. Just be careful to avoid the fumes because they had a very bad affect on my skin.
Just read this post from one of the Gamblin advisors:

A wide, bristle brush is best for applying the Gamvar. Sponge brushes puts too much varnish on the surface at once, so it’s hard to get a thin layer.
Manufacturers and technicians tend to be sticklers for thin coats. It works great when I just roll it on in two coats.
As you say, the lack of odour is NOT an indication of lack of toxicity. Probably the reverse, since natural turpentine is odiferous but considered to be non toxic and has formerly, (and currently in Natural medicine) believed to have curative properties.
Carel Fabritius Thanks - Agreed entirely. I avoid both - turpentine definitely affects my eyes and respiratory system harshly. I'm hoping that Gamvar is low enough in mineral spirits as to not affect me when I use it outdoors.
i like Gamvar because u can use it a few days once the paint is dry. however it can take off some paint.
so for a real piece of art worth money i would wait longer. still you can get away with using gamvar pretty early.
u can mix cold wax with it or get it in satin finish now. the regular formula is so damn glossy.
If it takes off some of the paint you haven't waited long enough. Gamvar is brilliant because you don't need to wait month's, but I'd wait enough so no paint gets effected.
I used Gamvar varnish and it was uneven with patches. I had to remove it and started again. Same thing. Ruined my 8 paintings in acrylic and oil. So frustrating!.
dude you look so stoned :D
denlede rødbede I’m just internally animated. I don’t smoke weed or do drugs. And I avoid people who do because they are boring drains.
@UC9aomwRs12AC5-P_cU6ogww people are boring because they smoke sometimes weed ? Ok now I know that you are a asshole. Some people have many stress in life and Bad people, so they smoke. We are not boring cause we smoke xD
You're not explainin what you're doing and how, and what brush & varnish you're using. We really don't care about the music, it's a nuisance. I didn't learn anything from your video
