"I never realized how big a difference varnish finish makes until I read this guide. I always defaulted to gloss, but now I understand when and why to use satin or matte too. My artwork looks far more intentional and professional now. So grateful for this resource!"

- Tony C.
"I always thought varnish was just a protective layer - I had no idea how much it could influence the overall look. Gloss, matte, satin⌠it all makes sense now. This guide helped me see varnish as a creative tool, not just a final step."
- Mel H.
"Iâve been pouring for over a year, and I still learned new things from this. Especially about how sheen changes under light. Now I think about how a piece will look in a room - not just wet on the table."
- Chrissy M.Â
"I appreciated how it explained when not to use gloss. Sometimes less shine actually makes the colors stand out more. My art feels more refined and thoughtful since using this guide."
- Craig R.
"I loved the visual way Olga explains sheen. I never thought about how light and texture interact after varnishing. Now I consider that with every new painting. The results speak for themselves."

âWhen is The Right Time To Use A Gloss, Satin, or Matte Varnish To Finish My Paintings?â
Thatâs the question I get asked every week inside my Fluid Art Community.
And itâs a great question becauseâŚ
The Varnish âShineâ or âSheenâ You Choose Will Dramatically Affect The Overall Look And Feel Of Your Finished Artwork!
Choose the WRONG varnish type and you can undo all the great work youâve done â leaving your art looking drab, cloudy, filled with streaks, or covered in those heartbreaking brush marks.
Or⌠choose the RIGHT type of varnish⌠with the correct shine or âsheenâ and your art will have that magical wow factor that makes people stop and pay attention.
So to help you select the right varnish finishâŚ
I put together this quick and easy reference guide to show you how to select the right matte or glossy finish for every type of fluid art project⌠and⌠how to avoid many of the common mistakes people make when selecting and applying a varnish finish.
The guide is called âGloss Vs Satin Vs Matteâ.
And although itâs a quick read â just 4 short pages â itâs packed with useful guidelines and tips you can use on your next painting.
Hereâs what youâll discover inside the free guide:
- How to quickly understand the key differences between each sheen â matt, gloss, or Satin â and when to use each one
- How to match your sheen or varnish shine to your artistic vision â so your compositions reflect the mood and impact you want to achieve
