I don't recommend varnishing at all, but that's just a personal preference. What I do, is I wait until the painting is dry (at least two weeks) and I'll oil the painting. Yet, if I varnished a painting I'd use Gamvar varnish from Gamblin. You can apply it as soon as the painting is touch-dry, which is a big advantage to other varnishes that demand a longer period of drying time. Another advantage of Gamvar is that it's removable with Gamsol, another product from Gamblin.
