I recently put a layer of Liquin on a painting for the first time. I usually use a satin finish varnish. But I had lots of texture I wanted to even out so I put a coat on, and an artist friend says she sometimes uses several coats, with no problem. She also adds a drop or 2 of Cobalt dryer to speed things up. I'm putting another coat on tomorrow, and if it ends up being too shiny, I can always varnish over it. Can I use Liquin to glaze over a dry oil painting? I like th shiny gloss like look better than Retouch Varnish?
i have to take issue with the best answer given...i have used liquin for years and love it but it is not recommended as a final varnish...the only painting i ever coated with liquin cracked all over the surface in a few years...windsor %26amp; newton doesn't recommend it for varnishing either
