Varnish comes in gloss, satin or matte finish. I usually stick with gloss varnish because I love the look of a glossy finish, but you may have your own preference. You can mix any of these types of varnish to get the exact finish that you are looking for, but it will take some experimentation! Learning how to varnish an acrylic painting involves this kind of experimentation so that you get it just right.
When you're ready to varnish, make sure that the painting is completely dry first. If it's the slightest bit wet, the varnish will mix with the wet paint and streak across the canvas. Unless that is your desired effect (hey, why not?), you will want to avoid this. Also make sure that the surface is free from dust, dirt, and any other undesirable things like lint.
If you use a removable varnish and you think that someday the varnish might need to be removed for any reason, you'll need to apply an isolation coat before you varnish the painting. The isolation coat acts as a barrier between your painting and the varnish, protecting your painting from the chemicals that remove the varnish.
To apply an isolation coat, use an acrylic gel medium or gel gloss such as Golden Soft Gel Gloss, diluted with water. For example, the packaging for Golden Soft Gel Gloss recommends mixing 2 parts Soft Gel Gloss to 1 part water, but follow whatever instructions are on the gloss medium or gel gloss that you choose. To apply the isolation coat, follow the basic steps outlined here for varnishing, because the process is similar, and allow at least 24 hours or more for the isolation coat to completely dry before applying your varnish.
When you're done, carefully and thoroughly clean the jar and the brush, and keep them someplace safe where they won't collect any dust.
