An isolation coat is a clear, non-removable coating that serves to
physically separate the paint surface from the removable varnish.
The isolation coat serves two purposes: (1)To protect the painting
if/or when the varnish is removed by separating the pigmented area
of the painting from the solvents used in removal. (2)To seal any
absorbent areas in order to create an even surface on which to
apply the varnish.
CONSIDERATIONS AND CAUTIONS
To Apply or Not to Apply
An isolation coat can be very beneficial to the preservation of a piece of artwork but it is not for every painting. The decision of applying an isolation coat is first an aesthetic decision: Will this serve the purpose of the work? Secondly, are the changes created by the application of an isolation coat and subsequent varnish understood and anticipated? These are important questions to consider as the isolation coat will become a permanent part of the painting.
