I am nearly ready to start doing a painting on a large canvas (100cm long x 80cm high) for a local business.
I will be using Com-Art paints, and at the end I wish to varnish it to protect it.
I have Com-Art's own Gloss varnish (but actually looks Satin when dried) and have used this on my other much smaller paintings with my largest needle, a 0.4mm H&S.
My question really is, what is the best way to varnish this large canvas, ie: using my 0.4mm airbrush and the Com-Art varnish OR buy a Rattle Can varnish (Windsor & Newton, Liquitex etc), or buy a cheap big gun, something like those HPLV things mentions on here, bearing in mind my compressor is a Bambi BB24V (24ltr tank).
Just asking as I think using my normal H&S 0.4mm brush and needle would take quite some time to cover
such a large area, not to mention trying to get good even coverage and that I really, really need to have a good
standard of finish as this is a 'commissioned' job and my first one to boot.
thanks
