Tell your wife not to worry, i have great respect for family! She is very lucky and I'm sure you are, also!!! I was so excited when i sent a msg thru your other site to ask you about our shul's stained glass project that i forgot to put the links!!!( My POF link is so you can get to know what kinda nut i am and in case you know a yenta who likes a challenge!) I spent 2 weeks in Israel when my x was in the multinational peacekeeping forces. I was an Architect in the 70's and love Trompe-l'œil paintings using grids, as my mother taught me. I hope we will be in touch and have a continuing friendship blossom between our Jewish Communities! Thanks! Beth http://www.plentyoffish.com/viewprofile.aspx?profile_id=4365517 O0ops, sorry!

I have not tried yet spraying the watercolours before adding the resin, but it is on my list to-do and try. I definilty think it is a good idea to try, as it should protect the watercolours better.... Cheers Moshe Thank you.

Great article. I found this because I work a bit with absorbent ground on linen canvases and thought about using the liquitex pouring medium to create a resin like effect. It's not toxic and it's only one part. Gives it a glass like look in the end. I think it works better on hard boards rather than canvas however i am going to try using it on linen to see what happens. Also do you spray fix your watercolour before adding the resin? Hi!

Instead of glue I used acrylic medium and I sprayed the watercolor with UV resistant acrylic and used an acrylic varnish. Then I used the resin with great success. I have seen an artist in Atlanta that paints acrylics and uses epoxy resin to cover them. http://olivierstudios.com/Stephen%20Olivier.html I intend to do this with larger watercolors, but here is the small experiment I did. http://bit.ly/aKX8eV I just wanted to tell you thank you for sharing this.

It would work great for my collages. I haven't used resin yet. I have had some success with Golden self-leveling clear gel. It takes a long time to dry, but has a similar look. I love this idea.
