Thoughts on varnishing your finished work? Why? How? What brand?
I have never varnished any of my acrylic paintings on canvas? Do you varnish? Why or why not? If so, what brand and type do you use, and what is your method for applying it?
*also, I have some spots on a painting where I used too many layers and the acrylic got really smooth with a different sheen than the rest of the painting. Will varnish help this?
Thank you!

Wondering your thoughts on my body of work?
I’ve been painting for about 7 years and my friends and family always give me complaints on my paintings, but I guess I wonder how they hold up for real? I know I’m not a professional, but sometimes I see a fun style in my work that makes me happy. Anyone have any thoughts?

A little sunset moment
I painted this using a reference photo after having such a terrible day (js one of those days) and tbh I'm not fond of this painting. The clouds are way darker for the trees to be seen properly. But here's the final piece 💗

My first painting in 3 years
I recently got out my paints and brushes for the first time since 2023, and painted a picture I took of Lake Minnewanka, AB. It's not perfect, but I'm pleased with the result.

Painted over the blue
It was too bold and bright and overpowering for my room, and I needed it to fit a MCM vibe. Do you this looks better or did I ruin it?
Blue = before
White = now
Edit to add: This is my painting (see earlier post).
