"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. Thank you for this resource, Olga!"
- Joanna T.
"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.
"This guide helped me realize I was using high-gloss by default, even when it didn’t suit the painting. Now I match the varnish sheen to the mood and message of my art. Sometimes less shine actually makes the colors stand out more :)"
- Tony C.
"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."

“When is The Right Time To Use A Gloss, Satin, or Matte Varnish To Finish My Paintings?”
That’s the question I get asked every week inside my Fluid Art Community.
And it’s a great question because…
The Varnish “Shine” or “Sheen” You Choose Will Dramatically Affect The Overall Look And Feel Of Your Finished Artwork!
Choose the WRONG varnish sheen and you can undo all the great work you’ve done.
Or… choose the RIGHT type of varnish… with the correct shine or “sheen” and your art will have that magical wow factor that makes people stop and pay attention.
So to help you select the right varnish finish…
I put together this quick and easy reference guide to show you how to select the right matte, satin, 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 “Gloss Vs Satin Vs Matte”.
And although it’s a quick read – just 4 short pages – it’s packed with useful guidelines and tips you can use on your next painting.
Here’s what you’ll discover inside the free guide:
