How dry does a painting need to be before I apply varnish? I'm hesitant because even when it should be dry it feels tacky. (This is acrylic). #ocean #tidepools #painting
@rapidpunches.itch.io It should be completely dry and well-cured. How long that takes depends on the paint, layer thickness and your local climate, but in doubt "leave it another day". Oil takes much longer to cure. (I'm an amateur - but "always let layers dry" never let me down)
