Description

Schmincke Dammar Varnish Glossy Schmincke have changed the name of this product

Dammar is a natural resin that refracts light better than more modern resins, giving oilcolour paintings a rich glow.

Schmincke Dammar Varnish Glossy uses only the best white Palembang dammar in a unique recipe to produce a glossy, almost non-yellowing, natural resin varnish for oil paintings.

A gloss sheen provides the clearest protective film, increasing depth especially in dark colours.

Soluble with oil of turpentine and turpentine substitute.

Can be applied after 8-12 months.

ABOUT SCHMINCKE
Schmincke began at the end of the 19th Century, when the colour chemists Josef Horadam and Hermann Schmincke saw an opportunity to provide the artists of the day with a truly superior artists oil, and so set out to Italy where traditional studio painting was still taught, in search of the nearly forgotten resin oil formulations.
In 1881, at the Academy of Fine Art in Florence, they secured the precision formulations of the Professor Cesare Mussini, a guardian of the old masters techniques, and on these formulations, the two founded their manufacturing establishment under the name H.Schmincke and Co.

In subsequent years, artists’ colours to suit all techniques were introduced, such as Josef Horadam’s patent watercolours of 1892. Through the entire 20th century, every generation of owner has lead the company to its current position as one of the worlds leading manufacturers of finest artists’ colour.
