Varnishing the Painting
by Joan - Conservator


David Marquis applys a layer of a non-yellowing, low molecular, highly saturating, stable synthetic resin varnish to the painting. The first layer of varnish was applied by hand, using small pads. Here, David uses an industrial spray gun which provides an even overall application.
