hi! first post here so sorry if i mess up
Im creating a series of paintings in my final uni exhibition in acrylic paint and water mixable oil layered together. As in image attached they have a lot of dark tones which get kinda lost in the matte finish, should i try varnishing to help better display the dark tones? what kind of varnish would you recommend for the media ive used and what finish? Lastly is it worth the risk as my first time varnishing on a piece and one with a harsh deadline?
sorry for the low quality photo and it only being a WIP but hopefully it gets the idea across :,)
