My watercolor paintings have been greatly improved by the use of this product. Then I dry the painting with another soft cloth. I apply it to my dry painting with a soft cloth by rubbing it all over the surface in a circular motion. The majority of my paintings require two or three coats of paint. If I do it, it does not disturb the paint. By eliminating the need to frame the painting under glass, it preserves the watercolor's appearance without affecting the appearance of spray varnish.
I will not use acrylics, glue or any water-based products Media based on water or oil cannot be used over
My canvas was sealed with it after I painted with watercolors. My sealing and glazing of the paper collage was done with acrylic medium. I have yet to use van Gogh.

I'm really happy with this product. bought this on the recommendation of another artist who was wanting to protect some of her watercolors without using An inexpensive cold wax medium I had purchased in a local craft store had turned out to be overly toxic! I really gave my bookmark that I tested a cloudy look due to how it smelled and dried tacky. I find this to be terrible! After hearing from a friend, I made my way to I cannot believe the difference! That was what I was looking for, and it really brings out the colors in my watercolors. It is now possible for me to protect my paintings and add it to my bookmarks and cards to give them a more finished appearance.
I saw a video on YouTube in which artists used it to cover their watercolor painting. Basically, it should protect them from UV rays and prevent them from It has even been said that some YouTube artists' paintings had become more vibrant. I suppose so. I was sure it would turn out well on the painting but, to my great surprise, it went on nicely. It is easy to use just get a bit out on your hands (I actually wore a neoprene glove) and rub it all over your artwork. It doesn't take much to make a big difference. Despite the fact the painting has not faded yet, I cannot comment on the UV protection (though it does somewhat enhance the colors). The amount it did wasn't much, but it did something. It's possible then, that for different paint colors or papers, it could have a much stronger effect than mine.
However, I do have a couple concerns about using it in this way. thing you need to know is that it is a wax, and it is a soft wax. Will it melt if I put it in a mat, and then if the mat gets too warm? The fact that it hasn't happened yet to me makes me ignorant. In addition, it will determine how "sticky" the painting will be. The third question is, will this transparent wax last the life of the painting. My goal is to prevent the wax from becoming cloudy and destroying someone's art. Those concerns seem to be overstated, but time will tell. This is an interesting concept, I will continue to test it for the rest of the time I have this jar of wax, and then I will decide for myself if it is worth the trial.
Postcards painted in watercolors are my hobby. As soon as this paste is applied over dry watercolor, it does not smear or streak. This product goes on smoothly and dries in an hour or two depending on how thick the application is and the The result is a soft, eggshell-like sheen to the finished painting that seems to keep it protected from humidity and weathering. On the next painting, I applied using my fingers and smeared it on with my finger after making my first application with a paper towel. A great deal of satisfaction. I polished it a little with a washcloth when it was dry.
The good news is that it can be used for sealing water-based media. The test worked well on both watercolor and casein. As well, I decided to experiment with using it with paint to see what it could do. The smell of it is not pleasant- It's not a strong presence, but it's there nonetheless. was unable to figure out exactly what it is made of (it says "petroleum distillate" on the MSDS), so I looked around in other places. There is a significant amount of "odorless stoddard solvent," which was used until the 1950s for dry cleaning. The chemical number for this compound You can check it out yourself by going to 7. It's true there are worse things in the world, but after I purchased it and realized what was in it, I decided not to use it. Shellac is instead going to be my choice for a varnish for watermedia. Dewaxed platina shellac can be turned into a varnish by combining ethanol with it.
To wax my journal pages so they won't stick together when I close the book, I bought this. I think it's going really well so far. My pages are like butter now because the program is so easy to use and it produces such a beautiful finish. A larger order will be coming.
I am still on the fence about using it on my watercolor bookmarks for sale and learning however, it does seem to be a good product. *UPDATE 1/30/19. These are the materials I use on my original, watercolor bookmarks, and I like.
As I was working on my projects, I wanted to experiment with sealants. It seemed so expensive for such a small container that I didn't want to pay such a high price. Dorlands Wax provides the same effect as I had been searching for, so I started doing some research. In spite of the fact that I had applied it to my project, I was incredibly impressed with how well it performed. Despite using almost none of the product, this large container will last me a long time. It is more economical to purchase this large container. I extremely recommend Dorlands Wax for all of your crafting needs. This is a great experience you won't want to miss!.
