Gamblin recommends oiling out before varnishing with gamvar- helps unify it so you wont get beading or uneven sheens

Beading up is because oiling out has not been done before varnish. A crude trick to stop beading up - cut raw potato in half, and lightly rub on the area that is beading up.

How long should an oil painting dry before applying Gamvar? I hear it’s 6-12 months for other varnishes.

Hi love your channel! Question? I’ve used Winsor Newton Retouch varnish on a large painting and did it outside because of the stink 😉 The lighting didn’t do me any favours though because I now see I have a very noticeable ridge of dry varnish 😖 am I able to sand just the ridge down and then re apply varnish to that area before I go over the whole painting with the final varnish? I’m a very new painter and it was my first large canvas 40x60 inch. And second question 😂 What is the easiest varnish to use? Do I just use Gamvar? Thanks in advance, I’m very nervous to get this done right 😂

Varnish will bead up on paintings that have allot of medium/ dryer in the paint mix. They say you can mix 10% gamsol into it. Haven’t tried that I use the rag too. I also learned that the flat and shiny areas may be due to not ensuring my painting was really dry (weeks to months vs days) some the paint absorbs some of the varnish. Have you tried mixing some of the satin into the gloss. I hear that reduces the over glossy appearance. I tried it on a few things and it seemed inconsistent

very helpful and straightforward instructions. we varnished some acrylic paintings with regular varnish from Lowe's and that worked fine but was told not to use a waterbased varnish on oil paintings. this looks like just what we need. worried its a little expensive but you managed to do multiple paintings with just a small bottle so that is cool too. thanks!

Thank you! Didn’t watch you before trying it but luckily I used on practice pieces—I see now my thicker application and smaller brush made a heavier layer. I’m going to go much lighter and use a stain brush on the better paintings. Thanks again!

Just scrub it in good, if by chance that doesn't work, saliva scrubbing with a stiff brush in that area will do the trick, or onion juice. 😊🎨🖌️

After varnishing 8 paintings with Gamvar, ( acrylic and oil) all of them became uneven with dull and shiny patches. Had to remove the varnish with Gamsol spirit. Unfortunately, that changed some paintings. Varnished again. Same horrible result. So disappointed!

Nice video. Do you find for protection reasons using the Gamvar vanish if better as opposed to a permanent fixit spray? Also, can the painting dry okay standing up as opposed to lying it down or is lying it down best for even dry time.? Thank you.

After removing Gamvar varnish, can it be re-varnished with another brand of varnish? If the answer is yes, how long do I have to wait between one process and another?, Thanks!.

for the paintings that bead up, what you can try is "oiling out" or if that doesn't work, using a very high grit sandpaper (like 4000) or a brown paper bag and lightly "buff" out those areas. then try the varnish again.

you could also try thinning the varnish with 10% - 20% gamsol.

Heard mr. Gamblin chatting about the beading up on a podcast.
Advice from website:

“Some combinations of oil paint and mediums create a “closed” surface resulting in Gamvar beading up. Also, beading up may indicate that too much varnish is being applied at once. Try to cover as much of the painting with as little varnish as possible. A vigorous scrubbing motion when applying Gamvar will help prevent it from beading up.

What to do when varnish beads up

Reduce the amount of Gamvar that is being applied to the painting. Blotting extra varnish off the brush onto a paper towel before applying is an excellent way to achieve this.
Dilute the varnish with 10-20% Gamsol.
Brush the varnish vigorously as it dries. Gamvar will begin to tack up in about 15 minutes. Continuing to brush after it begins to tack up may help it to adhere, but it will also reduce its level of gloss the longer you continue to brush it.”

And the beading is a result of polymerization of the oil - possibly even cross linked polymerization - to get the varnish to not bead you have to break the surface tension of the oil.

I've tried so many different things to stop the "river" of beading on certain sections on two of my paintings. Removed the varnish and reapplied. Light application, fast and random brushing nothing seems to work. It's truly annoying. You mentioned that you take a rag after to you apply the varnish but didn't show it in the video? Do you apply and then just lightly rub the varnish into the painting? Thanks :)

Great tip on the ‘beading’ issue. I’ve had that issue quite a bit because I paint in layers and the process of trying to figure out exactly which medium caused it would be incredibly time consuming, at best. I would have to isolate each product and experiment, yet still in the end not have an accurate result or answer.
Very helpful information on the varnishing process, 🙏
