Chelsea Classical Studio Damar Oil Painting Varnishes

Chelsea Classical Studio Fine Art Materials are handcrafted from high quality natural and archival artists materials, created using historic methods and techniques. CCS oils are cold-pressed, non-toxic, and naturally purified without heat or chemicals, creating pure oils that are safer for artists than other oil painting mediums. Their mediums, solvents, and varnishes are all made without chemicals, turpentine, or petroleum mineral spirits, and therefore have no harsh carcinogenic fumes. They're also more environmentally friendly.

Made in the USA. Certified AP non-toxic.

Damar & Retouch Varnishes Sampler Set - This set of non-toxic Chelsea Classical Studio Varnishes includes 1 oz. bottle of Lavender Damar Varnish and 1 oz. bottle Lavender Retouch Varnish. Use the retouch varnish while painting, and the Damar varnish as a finishing coat to add gloss and protection to your artwork.

Lavender Damar Varnish - This oil painting varnish is made with natural Damar resin dissolved in Lavender Spike Oil Essence. It can be used as a final gloss picture-varnish to preserve your painting, mixed into mediums to make them glossier and dry faster, and diluted with more solvent to make a retouch varnish. Because it's not made with turpentine, it doesn't cause the chronic health effects associated with the inhalation of fumes from turpentine or mineral spirits.

Lavender Retouch Varnish - This oil painting varnish is a ready-made retouch varnish that is a diluted, thinner version of the Lavender Damar Varnish. Use as a temporary protective layer on your painting while in process. Retouch varnish can be painted over. It's made with natural Damar resin dissolved in Lavender Spike Oil Essence. Because it's not made with turpentine, it doesn't cause the chronic health effects associated with the inhalation of fumes from turpentine or mineral spirits.
