I like to varnish my acrylic paintings...a bit like glazing a watercolour it brings out the colour and the depth...o don't glaze my acrylic pics. It also help to keep a painting clean. Plus I use gloss....yay...shiny and brash . But it works for me. Hair spray a complete no no. I've seen it used on charcoal gratings in a life group but useless on a painting. Winsor and Newton Galleria,also in mat and satin.Thank you Sylvia for reply. Did you notice the original question was posted 9 years ago???! I have realised it after posting my comment, and couldn’t have remove my post after went live… lol. I’m glad I couldn’t remove it, because I can benefit reading all those pointed bunch of advice from all of You 😊😊😊 Thank you Sylvia.

No I wouldn't varnish anything on paper I'd shove that under glass , but canvas or board yes I do and two coats Robert in case I miss a bit....think I could do with a coat as well.I’m same, I prefer two or even three thin softly applied coats, rather than one heavier… I bet this is general recommendation of how to varnish… Art.
