Retouch Varnish




I recently finished a portrait and applied Winsor Newton Retouch Varnish to bring back the colors BUT I made the mistake of not thinning beforehand (with mineral spirits). I feel uncomfortable with the "thickness" of the varnish. Does anyone know a method to remove varnish without affecting the paint?

Thanks in advance.
