What if I don't want the effect Karin quoted from Gamblin about Gamvar: "After application, the surface of the painting will have an even gloss and the colors will look very saturated."

I don't really like the look of a glossy painting (not to mention how hard it is to photograph afterwards!) and I try to carefully choose how much saturation I want in my colors as I paint and don't necessarily want to increase the saturation of everything later.

Is there a varnish I should use that won't add gloss and saturation?
