Atelier Universal Medium/Varnish is a medium and varnish rolled into one. It is a very versatile medium that almost replaces every medium thatAtelier have on offer.

• Using as a medium – Small additions to thick paint will loosen the consistency while more medium creates a very attractive glazing or layering mixture which can be over painted when touch dry.
• Using as a varnish – Begin by applying a seal coat that is one part varnish two parts water. This allows the varnish to penetrate and seal the paint layer so that a more concentrated varnish can be spread easily when the seal coat is dry
• If you want a high gloss finish the full concentrate can be used over the seal coat and two or more coats can be used to exaggerate gloss as required
