Winsor & Newton Retouch Varnish 75ml

Winsor & Newton Retouch Varnish is a versatile solution for artists working with oil paints. This UV-resistant gloss varnish provides temporary protection to recently completed paintings, allowing the paint film to continue curing while shielding it from dust and moisture. Because it’s quick-drying and removable, it’s perfect for reviving sunken colours and preparing artwork for further layers or final varnishing.

Unlike traditional final varnishes, Retouch Varnish can be painted over, making it ideal for artists who work in stages or need to revisit areas of their composition. To ensure best results, apply it thinly to a touch-dry surface. It’s not intended for use as a painting medium, and a final varnish—such as Dammar or Artists’ Varnish—should be applied after the painting has fully cured (typically 6–12 months).

Whether you’re refining details or preparing for exhibition, this varnish helps unify surface sheen and maintain colour vibrancy. Packaged in a compact 75ml bottle, it’s a studio essential for oil painters who value flexibility and control.
