Love those palettes, btw.<br /><br />I've pretty much only worked in acrylics (and just tried some watercolor for the first time recently) so I understand your hesitation in reverse. However, to help protect your painting: once it's done and completely dry I've used Golden Varnish. It's polymer varnish and I've used the gloss version. You should thin it out, and then give your painting three coats of the stuff, alternating the direction of your brushstrokes each time. Watch out for air bubbles, and let each coat try completely before applying more. It will add some sheen, but also a whole lot of protection.<br /><br />Post photos of the completed acrylic!Voie de Viehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863741631512546821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298211864094718117.post-69890020354871381722011-04-08T12:47:15.000-07:002011-04-08T12:47:15.000-07:00So good to see last week's lady finished up.
