FINISHING

We have a range of products available for protecting and presenting your finished work. 

​

PLEASE NOTE We are in the process of adding more details about our products to our website and this page is under construction.  Please contact us if you would like more details about our range.

​

Drawing fixatives

 

To ensure your drawing is protected against smudges, fixatives are important in allowing each layer to remain stable as you continue to work.  adArt stocks a range of fixatives suitable for different media including workable fixative, universal fixative, pastel fixative and oil pastel fixative.  Krylon, Schmincke and National Art Materials are the artist quality brands we stock in fixatives.

 

Varnishes

 

Varnishing your work once complete ensures that the work is protected against light damage, dust and provides an archivally sound finish to your work.  Varnishing makes cleaning of paintings easier and less damaging than not protecting your work. 

 

For oil and acrylic painting we stock Langridge’s varnishes in Gloss, Matte and Satin and Retouch varnish for paintings younger than six months old. 

 

We also stock spray cans of varnishes if you prefer to spray the varnish rather than paint it on, with Krylon, NAM and Golden.
