I use retouch varnish on all my paintings because they usually sell before the 6 month waiting period. When I rework an older painting, it still has the layer of retouch which i add a new layer to before I get started...then after the reworked painting is dry to the touch, I add one final retouch layer and hope it sells! I hope this answers your question. Thanks for visiting this blog and sharing you thoughts. Have a great day- Lori Yvonne, that is a great question that I should have addressed in the post.

Or do you use retouch varnish as your final varnish? Thank you for your informative blogs. Do you ever make changes after permanently varnishing the painting?

That is a good question and I should have addressed it in the article... Depending on what I am attempting to change, I use a few methods. Let's say I am changing the bird - I often sand down the bird to lift the majority of the paint and smooth out the board. Then, I add a bit of re-touch varnish to the whole painting and then start the revisions. If I am changing the background color, no need to sand - I just start with retouch varnish and then get to the painting. But, the best way is to begin with any changes is to spray or paint a layer of retouch varnish over the whole painting no matter what i plan to do. Hope this helped! Lori Hi Ellene.

Do you take the paint off the canvas, if so with what medium and do you just paint over the place you want to change? Thank you, Ellene Breedlove Davis Lorie,

We should never be afraid to make changes, even after a piece is done. That little urging in the back of our minds is often right, and by ignoring it we could miss out on something new and exciting!
