[QUOTE="Potteryplease, post: 11447453, member: 16407"]It's very autumnal, darkening and moody. I like it, and the price was great. Removing varnish, in my experience, is a more difficult thing than cleaning dirt and grime. There are easy-to-find artwork varnish removers online, but when using them, finding the 'boundary' between varnish and original paint is subtle.
