Author Message floclowes Posted on Friday, February 10, 2006 - 7:43 pm:    Thanks for your help--I did bring up Arleta's website and received much info. Thanks Flo Robert Posted on Monday, February 6, 2006 - 7:55 am:    er...claims Robert Posted on Monday, February 6, 2006 - 7:55 am:    This idea of using varnishes on w/c came up in an earlier thread. There seems to be no evidnece that it is actually safe over the long haul. Logevity seems to be a toss of the coin based on unsubstantiated clams.

Also Birgit O'Connor (birgitoconnor.com) has a new DVD out on using Golden mediums & varnishes and mounting w/c on panels. Technically, these are now "mixed media" as far as competition and sales are concerned, as you have sealed the w/c with an acrylic medium . rosepaints tachee Posted on Friday, February 3, 2006 - 5:02 pm:    i do not know about acrylic varnish, but i have used ampersand's spray for watercolors to be used on claybord. love it. i would try it first. floclowes Posted on Friday, February 3, 2006 - 2:29 pm:    I recently read that you can protect a watercolor with acrylic varnish, resulting no need for glass. Has anyone had experience with this? Flo
