Designed for professional artists and creatives, it enhances color vibrancy while protecting artwork from UV light, dirt, and environmental damage. Safe, non-toxic, and compatible with all Liquitex acrylic paints and mediums, it offers a flexible, hard finish ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. ## Description Liquitex offers the broadest range of acrylic mediums to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process. Varnish Mediums protect the painting surface from the environment and protect the pigments from ultraviolet light. Additionally, varnishes can be used to change or unify a painting’s surface sheen. Liquitex varnishes come in several different sheens which can all be intermixed for a customized sheen. Liquitex Archival Permanent Varnish Finishing Medium is a low-odor, permanent and durable medium with water-based technology, translucent when wet, clear when dry. Resists discoloring (non-yellowing, non-fogging) due to humidity heat and ultraviolet light. Can be used with Spray Paint, Heavy Body, Soft Body. Dries to a non-tacky, hard, flexible surface that is resistant to dirt retention. Hard, archival, non-yellowing and water-resistant when dry. Protects acrylic color from harsh elements. For interior and exterior use. APPLICATION: Apply as a final varnish over dry acrylic paint. Varnish surface and environment must be clean, dry and dust free. Acrylic paintings must be completely dried and cured for 48-72 hours before varnishing. Application may be done by brush or spray. Generally a sprayed application will be thinner, smoother and more even. Rolling or sponging application is not recommended. Caution: Acrylic paints and mediums become increasingly brittle in cold weather. Do not apply below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Visit our Liquitex desertcart Storefront for full product assortment. Review: Fantastic high-gloss finish and strong protection! - I recently used the Liquitex Professional High Gloss Varnish on my finished acrylic paintings and I’m highly impressed. I thinned it slightly with water to help with a smooth, even application, and it worked beautifully. Once dry, it delivers a true high-gloss finish that really enhances the depth and vibrancy of the colors—my artwork looks sharper, richer, and more polished. A great final touch that also provides lasting protection! Review: Great, high-gloss was a little easier to use - I’m a professional watercolor artist trying out acrylics. The learning curve for me was using enough of the medium. I was using too little and missing coverage. I found it easier to use on my higher quality canvas that also had more variety in the painting (bride/groom, the painting hides more flaws). I also varnished some paint pours that were on cheaper canvas and struggled with them all. The painting itself didn’t hide flaws as well. I went back and ordered the high gloss for those and had better success. I also learned to use more medium so perhaps the satin may have work better as well when I try it again. ## Features - Archival; Permanent; Non-Removable; Gloss finish - Lightweight, non-toxic; Dries to a non-tacky, hard, flexible surface; Non-yellowing and water-resistant when dry - Includes 32-oz / 946ml bottle of medium - Intermixable with Liquitex Professional Acrylic Paint Colors and Mediums. - Conforms to ASTM D4236; Safe for educational use ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0038L15U2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #918 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #34 in Art Paints | | Brand | Liquitex | | Brand Name | Liquitex | | Compatible Material | Wood | | Coverage | Medium | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 21,019 Reviews | | Finish Type | Matte | | Finish Types | Matte | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00094376945683 | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | Liquitex 126632 Professional High Gloss Varnish, 32-oz | | Item Weight | 1.04 Kilograms | | Liquid Volume | 32 Fluid Ounces | | Manufacturer | ColArt Americas | | Manufacturer Part Number | 126632 | | Material | Acrylic | | Material Type | Acrylic | | Model Number | 126632 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Painting | | UPC | 094376945683 | | Unit Count | 32.0 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Liquitex - **Finish Type:** High-Gloss - **Item Weight:** 1.04 Kilograms - **Material:** Acrylic - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Painting ## Images ![- Professional High Gloss Varnish, 946ml (32-oz) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71eIUqwuikL.jpg) ![- Professional High Gloss Varnish, 946ml (32-oz) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71S3pUYsZgL.jpg) ![- Professional High Gloss Varnish, 946ml (32-oz) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FUVdE1JwL.jpg) ![- Professional High Gloss Varnish, 946ml (32-oz) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61blFxMjqVL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic high-gloss finish and strong protection! *by C***Y on July 25, 2025* I recently used the Liquitex Professional High Gloss Varnish on my finished acrylic paintings and I’m highly impressed.

Read directions and suggestions for use carefully. *by C***T on December 9, 2025* This is such a great product. Although it is typically used for a finish on oil or acrylic art, I purchased it to put on top of, like a glaze, my unfinished tile coasters, which I had painted and stamped. Upon further review, I realized this product could withstand the cold of an iced beverage, it would not work well with heated beverages. So, I began using it as a topcoat for my handmade Christmas ornaments. Works like a charm, and a little goes a long way. I watched an artist's YouTube video to find the specific application process, and I recommend doing the same. It's super easy, but I would have completely done it the wrong way if I had not watcched the video. ## Frequently Bought Together - Liquitex Professional High Gloss Varnish, 946ml (32-oz) - U.S. Art Supply 3 Pack of Variety Size Synthetic Bristle Paint, Chip and Utility Paint Brushes for Paint, Stains, Varnishes, Glues, and Gesso - Liquitex BASICS Gesso Surface Prep Medium, 473ml (16-oz) Bottle, White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4544092-professional-high-gloss-varnish-946ml-32-oz](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4544092-professional-high-gloss-varnish-946ml-32-oz) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
