Talens Varnish 060 for Oil Pastels Bottle 75ml – Satin Gloss

Talens 060 Varnish for Oil Pastel – Professional Sealing

Talens 060 Varnish for Oil Pastels is specially designed to make works of art with oil pastels or wax crayons water- and smudge-proof. This satin-smooth varnish forms a transparent, protective layer without affecting or yellowing the colours.

even though the varnish appears white in the jar, it dries completely transparent and leaves no white cast.
The white colour comes from the water-based varnish containing microscopic resin particles that scatter light while it is still wet. Once the water evaporates and the resin layer forms, it becomes clear and colourless.

Features:
– Dries within one hour, with a satin sheen.
– Has minimal effect on colour intensity or tone, preserving the authenticity of your work.
– Ready to use.
– Minimally alters colours and does not yellow.

Application:
Make sure your drawing is free of loose pastel residue. For example, use a soft brush, compressed air or a kneading eraser to do this. Shake the bottle well so that the ingredients are well mixed for even application. Then use a very soft brush to avoid streaking and shifting of the pastel. Carefully apply the varnish and set long sweeping strokes in the same direction.

Oil pastels do not dry out completely, so let the work rest for at least a week.
