Gamblin Gamvar Pict Varnish Satin – Clear, 4.2oz

Overview

Gamblin Gamvar Pict Varnish Satin is a clear satin varnish designed to elevate finished paintings. Formulated to sit gently over color, it creates a unifying protective layer that can help artwork respond to light with a soft balanced glow.
