Zachary,
I am sure your problem is shared by a lot of artists. Personally, I prefer a satin finish--not too shiny, but with enough gloss to bring out the color and depth. My way is probably not for everyone, since I've noticed that many artists prefer a shinier finish. I use Soluvar (made by Liquitex), which comes in gloss and matte. I mix equal parts of gloss and matte, and dilute with real gum turpentine. (If you don't dilute it, it's too thick to brush on.)
