You can definitely brush apply matte acrylics .
You can brush apply any paint .

Cheers, but Is it ok to gloss ,weather wash then matte varnish without affecting the weather wash?

 

[urumomo]

Yes .
It's all just layers of acrylic .

I’m a pain I know one last thing do I need to thin the varnish or weather wash? Thanks

Not the wash , but the varnish maybe a little .
Always thin varnish coats as little as practical -- Test paint the varnish on some scrap until you get it flowing like you want .

Ask away, it's the best way to learn. I have hand brushed matt and gloss. Used vallejo thinned down 50/50. Better to do more thin layers rather than 1 thick layer. It gives you the chance to see how things look as you go. Just takes a little patience. Pantherman
