Hi Tracy ,
I am an avid follower of yours and I really love watching your videos and learning new things. I have a couple of questions for you. The first is, how do you apply your varnish on your finished painting? Do you paint it on with a brush or use one of those sponge brushes? And second, what do you do with your paintings when they are completed? Do you frame them or mount them on something? I was just wondering cuz I just finished one after painting along with you on your video. I thought you might be able to recommend
a particular type of frame or ways to display the paintings. Thanks for your time and all you do!!

HI Lisa! I use a big flat brush to brush on varnish that I just LOVE and sell here: https://tracyweinzapfelstudios.com/product/decoart-34-flat-brush/. I prefer that over the foam brushes. When I complete my work most is sold on my website or used by the paint company I work for. I work on a lot of cavnases which do not have to be mounted or framed. The 11 X 14 original prints I sold have been matted and framed at stores like Michael’s. Believe it or not I rarely display my own work LOL But I do have small frames outside my office for canvases: https://tracyweinzapfelstudios.com/portfolio/#foobox-1/26/TWB_9347a.jpg I hope that helps!!
and where in Michigan? I am from there! Graduated from MSU! Go Green!
