question Varnish




I want to layer my work as Norman Rockwell did by varnishing over the under paintings. I tryed Damar varnish and it dissolved with the next layer's application. I read in Norman's book that he used french retouch which dried quick and did not lift when painted over. Anyone know if damar retouch is different than french retouch varnish? If that question is outdated/obsolete what should I use for this purpose of sealing an underpainting?
