That's the general idea. Lightly drag a dry brush across the inital layer of gloss varnish at a right angle to distrupt the gloss sheen. You won't get a matte surface, just less glossy. You only need to wait a few minutes for some of the solvent to evaporate, and keep the brush dry. Test it on a scrap with dry darkly painted areas to get the hang of it.
