This is exactly what I needed -- I'm moving from watercolor as it was a much more affordable and safer way to get into painting, but oil can be so overwhelming with all the materials! Looking forward to your other videos :)
Yes, the varnish makes the work shiny but most importantly it is a separate, removable layer on your painting. So varnish is important to protect the painting for the long term so that after a long time the varnish layer that’s collected all the dirt can be removed and a new one reapplied.
I was confused from what you said because I hear so many artists say that alizarin crimson has low lightfast and ultramarine blue has high laugh fast I feel bad for Bob Ross@@dorisroseart

Should I still varnish when I’m finished my painting even if I added liquin to the oils to make it glossy? Thanks ❤😊

Isn't more lightfast=longer it'll last in the sun?
Hmm I think you’re right!! it’s whichever one is NOT good lol aka fades in light more!
