I can’t wait to do this one. Chris your tutorials are so good, I’m learning so much. Question: do you typically varnish your work once it’s dry and if so do you recommend a specific one?

Stefan

Following katelyn question, I was actually going to ask if you would actually maybe do a weekly paint talk on how you finish your paintings. Varnishing them or not. Is it ok to stack paintings in storage. Just generally what your process is for looking after them once completed. Thank you 🙏

Stuart Rotman

Really interesting. I was wondering how detailed the painting was going to end up. When you got the water in front (bottom half), I was thinking "no, no, he doesn't have it." And then toward the end, it came together so well! Same with the boat. A little curvy and wiggly, I thought and then bang! Your final strokes added details that cleaned up the lines and gave just the right accents. Love the color combos. Really enjoyed the process and the final result.

Would really appreciate also a video or talk focused on Katelyn and Stefan suggestion.

David Duncan

My first tutorial with you. Love the no nonsense approach, I helps me see what you can "get away with" in the early stages, as it all gets tidied up or adjusted later.

Chris Fornataro

Yes, I wait until it is touch dry and then I use retouch varnish. Retouch varnish can be used before it is fully dry which takes at least 6 months. It's flexible so there won't be any cracking. It's what I use for commissions that need to be shipped out quickly.

Katelyn Tucker

Awesome, thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I’m learning so much from your lessons.

Lori M Silas

Also my first tutorial with you, Chris. I appreciate how you demonstrated the working and reworking in your process as opposed to having it all worked out ahead of time and demonstrating only the solutions.

Sharon Coffman

Also my first tutorial with you. I also live in Florida, so this one is getting me ready for some fall PleinAir painting! It really helps to see you resolving issues on the spot to support your composition. The sky tips were great, too.
