Is it possible to varnish a painting without leaving streaks? (brush strokes)?

Is it possible to varnish a painting without leaving streaks? (brush strokes).





How can I apply the vanish so the brush strokes are not visible?Is it possible to varnish a painting without leaving streaks? (brush strokes)?
Try using a soft brush and apply the varnish in a cross hatch. First horizontally across the painting. Let it dry completely. Then apply a second coat of varnish vertically.Is it possible to varnish a painting without leaving streaks? (brush strokes)?
Absolutely, buy the varnish in a spray can. Follow the directions listed on the can for best results. Or you could roll it on using a small roller. Another method is to wipe it on. You can brush it using a fine (2-3 inch flat) China bristle brush. Overlap brushing strokes and use a medium drying time varnish.





Make sure the varnish is suitable for protecting the painting.





Good luck and always:


Keep Arting!

One way you can do it is to air brush the varnish on.
Use spray varnish. But caution, your painting will ';yellow'; orve time, no ifs and or buts.
