To seal or not to seal, that is the question we're testing today, or at least what to expect with different sealant options. In this video I'll be testing Dorland's Wax Medium, Krylon's Kamar Varnish, Schmincke's Aquarell Fixativ, a hairspray, and Tri-Art's Final Finish. We'll see how they perform during their application and how they do protecting against water.
Are you someone that seals their watercolor paintings? What is your favorite thing to use?
