Varnishing

Varnishing Workshop

Saturday, TBA

10 am – 12 pm

Fee $15 (Register at The Paint Spot)

Instructor: Kim Fjordbotten

“Is Varnishing necessary?” We feel it is. Varnishing unifies the shine level of a painting to create a more finished appearance. It provides protection for the art work both from UV rays and from dust. It may also eliminate the need for framing under glass. Unfortunately, this last step intimidates artists. Varnishing is easy but it seems so much can go wrong. Learn tips and techniques to keep the process simple and avoid common mistakes. Be confident in creating a finished effect that improves the look of the art and increases it longevity. Whether you are varnishing oil, acrylics, watercolours, functional art or even murals, this quick workshop will show you how to do it. We may even experiment with different gel coatings and varnishes for prints.

Varnishing Day at the Royal Academy

George du Maurier Punch 19 June 1877, p. 226

“In this delightfully animated illustration, George Du Maurier depicts the long-vanished custom of Varnishing Day at the Royal Academy. Generously recognizing that painters, like everyone else, often leave too much for last, the Academy originally created Varnishing Day to permit artists to bring in freshly painted canvases and then later apply protective varnish. Note the paint box labelled "DuMaurier" at the lower right! Artists soon began to use the opportunity to make little last-minute minor corrections, and the great Turner famously would send in a practically bare canvas, and while his fellow-artists struggled to fix some minor mistake would paint an entire picture, thus displaying his legendary technical virtuosity — and awing his peers.

What I find so interesting about this work is the inclusion of obviously professional women painters — three of the nine — unaccompanied by any satirical or other comment. Clearly, women had become increasingly accepted, at least by du Maurier, in the art world, though this is not the impression one would receive from his many other humorous depictions of the artistic life.” www.victorianweb.org
