KITTY!! I love this video. I've just started using watercolours and was curious about protecting them. I especially like the sleeve for storing. Thanks and hugs
You're welcome! I'm happy you liked the video!

Glad you found it helpful Louie! Thanks so much for you kind comment, appreciate you! ❤️
I have seen so many old watercolor paintings start to get mold spots under the glass. Even if you clean and reframe the mold is in the paper. I feel that it would definitely prolong the life of the painting to seal the front and the back.
THANK YOU ALLISON!! Exactly the answer I needed and concisely stated! Subscribed immediately and looking forward to more of your videos! Yeah!!!
Wish you hadda given us a demo so we know how much to use for beginner watercolor artists. ❤🇨🇦

Thanks for explaining this! Fabulous ❤️
You're welcome Clare!
Thank you for this. I wanted to make some bookmarks and didn’t know how to protect them
So cute and beautiful artworks!
Thank you!
I used a varnish on my watercolor paint... And it started melting...what i shd use to seal watercolor painting ?
Loved it.Thankyou for this 🥰
You're welcome!
Thank you! Do u know how to protect shimmer watercolours pls?
what is active free Krylon sealer?
Hi , thanks for this video. I love your channel. So I made a watercolor painting on canvas and I also bought the Krylon Kamar Varnish to seal it. My question is, will it change the colors of my painting ?
Hi Laura! It shouldn’t change the colors, I haven’t seen any changes in mine 😊
@@AllisonLyonArt Thanks, I ended up taking the risk and sprayed it back and forth, up and down. It looks awesome! No bleeding of the paint and it didn't darken the color. It looks so shiny thanks again for your video. I subscribed to your channel !😊blessings
Will the artwork smell if you use this spray? Worried that it will give my bookmarks and paintings a bad odor.
And thank you for the video !
I've never had my artwork smell from my spray :)
Hello! :) I make cards and color my stamped images with watercolor pencils, and I worry the colors will fade from sunlight. If I varnish the stamped images, will it save them from fading from sunlight?
Hi! I'm not 100% sure, but it must help at least a little. If you're worried about the color fading, be sure to use high-quality watercolor pencils/paint. Artist quality paint is less likely to fade in sunlight :)
If a watercolor painting is sealed is it then ok to frame it in the future under glass?
Will sealing them help protect them from moisture in storage (like humidity)
Yes you can frame it under glass even if you seal it!
To be honest, I don't know if that'll protect from moisture. I wish I could better help you with that question!
so i would definetly need a spray right? i have a water based varnish but its in a jar, i suppose when i try to apply it it will ruin the watercolor?
In my opinion, I wouldn't use the water based varnish ~ I haven't tried a varnish like that but I would be afraid it'd ruin my watercolor. I would recommend the spray varnish I shared about :)
@@AllisonLyonArt thank you! i just got a spray varnish that says its specific for watercolor! i think it will come out well :D
So what I want to spray artwork after or before because I made a watercolor painting for a friend and it's on a 16 x 20 size and I worked really hard on it it took me hours and I was told to use polyurethane spray but nobody specifically said what kind so should I stick with what you have provided in the video the acid-free spray from Krylon ? And do I spray the canvas after I've already painted? Do I take it outside to the yard and spray and let it dry for a little bit and then spray it again or can I just do one coat? And will it seal the watercolor well enough my painting is like brick colored brownish red and brown and grayish white so I know it's gonna turn a little bit on the yellow from what I'm hearing but I'm okay with that I don't think it'll be too bad for but I'm just more curious on getting the right kind of spray and knowing that I'm spraying it correctly if I spray it after I've already painted and how long does it take to dry? and how many coats and what kind should I get should I stick with what you have in your video? Did you touch on all of my questions please and thank you I know nothing about ceiling because I don't use watercolor often enough and I don't need to seal most of my other work because I don't use watercolor except only recently have started
@@halleluiah01 I would use the Krylon spray I mentioned in this video. The can says it's non-yellowing and I've used it many times with no problem! I would start with one coat. Since it's a large painting, you could do two coats in case you didn't spray everywhere with your first coat. It usually takes 2 hours to fully dry. And I would spray it outside or in a garage. Lay your painting on a larger sized piece of cardboard and then spray. This way you don't spray the floor or grass or wherever you're spraying! I think I answered everything, if I didn't just let me know :)
But what if my sketchbook keeps getting stained can I seal them?
Does the spray varnish doesn't change the brilliancy of the watercolor? Does it not make it look dull? I
I haven't noticed! The can says it's "non-yellowing" and "keeps a fresh from palette look".
@@AllisonLyonArt wow! I must give this a try .thank you!
You’re welcome!
Is it waterproof?
Hi A thanks for this wonderfully clear video. Sadly, mine worked until my painting caught fire?! Other viewer should be aware of the danger of spraying the painting with a candle or insence burning nearby. I'm a dumbo for not realizing INFLAMABLE doesn't mean fire retarded. Thanks again.
Do not spray your watercolors in a sketchbook if you use a pen for linework.

You’re very helpful but your “s” sounds are very high pitched and makes it hard to listen😔
