Hi Richard;
I've been doing just that for a few years now with my work--on German 
Etching, Innova Smooth Fine Art, and I am currently using Entrada. I'll 
apply a couple coats of Breathing Color's water-based varnish and finish 
up with one coat of DCP System's "Giclee Varnish." The last coat with 
this particular varnish gives me the surface I like--a soft gloss with a 
leather-like texture.
