Another Way to Seal Your Watercolors! (Frugal Friday)

Описание: I had a couple of jars of home decor liquid wax left over from some chalk paint projects a few years ago. I did not like using it on furniture because you periodically needed to reapply it, hence why I have this leftover. I wondered if there was an artsy use for this stuff and after some experimenting I found one. Protecting your watercolors, painted postcards and art journal pages in lieu of using Dorlands Wax.

Pros to this method:
It's quick and easy
It is cheap (or free if you have some leftover)
It works well

Cons:
There is a slight cream color to the wax
You must be gentle and use a soft brush so you don't smear your watercolor
I don't know if it is archival (Use Dorlands Wax if you need a clear and archival solution)

Here are the products I mentioned:
Home Decor Wax: https://amzn.to/3PRnWFL
Dorlands Wax: http://shrsl.com/4hc14 or https://amzn.to/4akGaHN
*you get 2x the product of home decor wax vs Dorlands wax for the same price.
