you don't need to varnish acrylic paintings usually, but if you want to then you use acrylic varnish lol.

it's also good to put a layer of medium on before the varnish

Canvas boards are shite.

Get yourself some pre-cut mdf or whatever it's called in your country, 2 coats of acrylic primer (from your art supplier), really good surface to work on, and works out much cheaper.

These are boards I've prepared.
Either side, acrylic primer with acrylic tint over the top.
Middle; crap canvas attached to mdf (not the canvas board type)-the canvas is pretty rough, so it needs oil primer to smooth it.

You need a godzilla rising out of the water. Maybe firing his nuclear laser breath

I like canvas boards more than the stretched canvas, its more handy. But mdf's or wood boards, i guess, would also be a good choice. It would have a smoother surface. I might give it a try.
