LUKAS Retouching Varnish is an elastic intermediate varnish, ideal for revitalising dulled or faded areas in oil paintings and preparing surfaces for corrections. It remains soluble in turpentine oil and can be thinned with either turpentine oil or citrus turpentine. Application is straightforward with a brush, and when using spray guns, dilution should be adjusted according to pressure and nozzle size.

Varnishes serve as the final protective layer for oil paintings, shielding them from environmental damage and premature ageing. Beyond protection, varnishes create a smooth surface, enhance the painting’s individual sheen, and form a barrier against UV radiation, dust, dirt, stains, and wear. Artists working with oil paints can choose from a range of classic or specialised varnishes to suit their needs.
