Yes. When I have used Liquin as my medium, I use it over the entire surface when I am done in order to give it an even gloss.

I do not use dammar varnish. Instead I use Winsor-Newton's "Conserve Art" varnish as I like the finish it gives.

I also paint in layers and heve several paintings going at once. I tried the onion technique once (I learned this from a Russian artist who swore by it) but I disliked the smell. Ditto clove oil added to paint...I disliked that smell too.
