First Coat of Varnish on Oscar’s Portrait
Watch the first coat of varnish go on Oscar’s portrait — a recent commission painted in oils. I’m using Gamvar Satin Varnish by Gamblin, which gives a beautiful even finish without too much shine. I typically apply 2–3 thin coats, allowing each layer to fully dry before the next. It’s one of my favourite steps — the colours instantly deepen and come to life.
