For some reason, I thought it was Tuesday all day today. I very leisurely varnished this painting and set it aside to dry. Then tonight as I put the kids to bed, realized that it was in fact Thursday and I hadn’t taken any photos or written a blog post.Total fail. Better late than never! Here is the 8th yellow onion and the second to last onion in this mini series of 9.
Great job and love the series! How long did you wait to varnish it? What varnish do you use? Thanks for posting your work🎨
Thank you! I wait until a painting is dry to the touch which is anywhere from a few days to a week. I use Grumbacher retouch varnish for this first varnish because it allows the painting to continue to dry while giving the painting an even gloss and some minimal protection. After 6 months to a year I use a final damar varnish.
