Hey gang, I'm planning on using Citadel matte varnish in betwixt my paints (paint skin, varnish, paint eyes lips ect.) Does anyone know if this will allow me to "clean up" any mistakes without damaging the underlying paint job?  This is all new to me so any help is really appreciated |

yes it should, citadels are acrylics, if you have the varnish on there, just use a cotton swab dipped in Windex w/amonia. Itll clean the spot right off.

Thanks Figurator ;D But please bear with my ignorance  I'm painting the colours with acrylics (com art/medea), then varnishing with acrylic ( citadel matte varnish) then painting again with medea. So if I mess up, I can clean up with the windex ammonia mix? Sorry if I seem a bit dense ;D |

yeah, thats what I use for thinner and cleaner works awesome! but it has to be the good Windex with ammonia...I tried the cheap stuff from the dollar store, doent work as good. but the big bottle of windex is a hell of alot cheaper than paying $4-5 for a small bottle of "acrylic thinner"

Thanks again Figurator ;D I always get nervous when painting faces on board, you mess up, not much recourse  Nice to know that with the varnish on I'll get more than one shot at it ;D I probly should try to find a varnish that works on board paintings  |
