Do you know the difference between fixatives and varnishes?
I invited Ed S Brickler, Technical Consultant from Chartpak, Inc. to explain the common mistakes artists make varnishing their paintings. Visual artists who do acrylic, watercolor, pastel, oil painting and drawing will learn how to varnish and protect art from UV light and deterioration using proper techniques and materials.

If you’re confused about using your materials or don’t know which ones to buy, a good rule of thumb is to contact the manufacturer. There are many brands that produce both fixatives and varnishes – Golden, Winsor & Newton, Grumbacher, Gamblin, etc. Also, many companies keep their own art blogs and educational videos about the use of their art supplies.
