Daler Rowney Soluble Acrylic Varnish

Daler Rowney Soluble Varnish for Acrylics offers artists a versatile way to protect and maintain their acrylic masterpieces. With a choice of Matt or Gloss finishes, this varnish creates a clear barrier that shields surfaces from pollutants, while still allowing colour vibrancy and texture to shine through.

Since it’s solvent-based, the formula dries to the touch within about an hour. For best results, give it 24 hours to cure fully. You can easily remove or clean the varnish using low-odour solvents or turpentine, which makes it a perfect option for evolving work or gallery-ready pieces. The removable nature lets you update or restore without damaging your painting underneath.

This varnish works beautifully with canvas, primed board, and wood surfaces, helping artists preserve their creations while adding a subtle enhancement to visual depth. Whether you’re sealing a vibrant abstract or a delicate mixed media collage, it delivers consistent, lasting protection.

To apply, use a soft brush and layer thinly with care. Thanks to its reversible quality and dependable clarity, this varnish suits both professional workflows and personal projects that evolve over time.
