It is better to avoid conventionel varnishing. Nevertheless you can try a water warnish. You can also wax your finished painting with some bee wax solution, but it will compromise any retuch as it will not be possible to paint over it anymore. During medieval times, varnishes were substituted by snail slime in Flandres and north of France and by fig milk (resin of the fig tree) in provence and Italy.
