Oil Painting Varnish Removal and Repair

Varnish Removal ServicesIn order to protect the surface of an oil painting, a varnish is usually applied by the artist. But exposure to air, humidity, sunlight, differing temperatures or the components of the varnish itself can cause the varnish to become clouded, dull or discolored. This change in the transparency of the varnish often makes paintings look as if they are being viewed through a brown or amber filter, distorting the original colors and flattening the image.
