I’m not a good painter but I LOVE this varnish for my paintings. Give it a slight gloss and makes me feel more confident and relaxed about having them around and about.

Pour painting Molly’s artistry suggestion not mandatory. Huge difference

I use this medium to do several different things in my mixed media works. I mix it in with my paint to give some sections different texture and I also use it to seal a finished piece. I would say it is a good medium. It didn’t blow me out of the water or anything, but it does get the job done. I would say I prefer it over the crappy hobby lobby or micheals store brand version if that helps anyone narrow it down. Typically I use liquitex professional or golden mediums to seal when I am finished but those can be rather expensive so I would looking for different alternatives.I would recommend you try it to see if it gives you a look you might like. I think that is a huge things with art supplies. Everyone likes specific things and trying them is about the only way to know your preferences.

I used to use water to thin my acrylic paints until I tried this Creative Inspirations Acrylic Medium Polymer and Varnish. It allows me to thin my paints to achieve a less watery and more smooth but less opaque paint. I like to use this to thin my paint when I am distressing a piece. I get the more translucent look with more body and ability to move the paint around. I am still working with this to perfect my technique but it's working really great and I like the way it can extend paints that are thicker while still allowing for coverage.It's similar to using a nail polish thinner when polish starts getting a bit thick if you will.This also makes a nice water based varnish with a nice gloss finish. Works great for projects where there isn't a huge amount of ventilation so that I can continue to paint without leaving the room because of fumes.Overall, I think this is a good alternative to using water when mixing paints and thinning paints to get more translucency as well as giving items a nice top coat.
