artistandstudio: Historically, before large shows at the British Royal Academy or at New York’s National Academy, artists were given a “Varnishing Day” on which they could apply a final coat of varnish to their works before the opening, or make some last minute corrections. Some artists like J.M.W. Turner were famous for submitting nearly blank canvases for the exhibitions, and actually painting the majority of their work on Varnishing Day!   via Underpaintings Love this!
