Cheryl, great video. Finally found the answer that not many artists talk about, when you finish an art piece. I see some use Matte mediums but they’re vague in expanding on it. Glad I found you and looking forward to checking out more of your videos.❤

[@CherylWilsonArt]

Glad it was helpful! I try to share all that I know. I am still learning new things too, but am happy to share what I know and learn!!! I hope all artists can thrive and love art as much as I do. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Great video. This was very helpful. I have all these products and now know what else I can do with them!! Glad your back.

[@CherylWilsonArt]

There are certainly times like in my Sgriffito that I like the marks to not smear!

[@pattyfolsom5144]

Excellent information! Please keep up the videos. You're my new muse!

[@CherylWilsonArt]

Thank you Patty!!! You are so kind. I love being someone’s muse, I used to have a necklace with the words muse until it was replaced with “Gigi” from my grandson!

[@cathykirwan2292]

Thank you! This was very helpful. I loved how you did a painting at the end since I was curious how paint would react over the fixatives. ❤️

[@CherylWilsonArt]

You are welcome!!! I get in my zone painting!! Haha but I love to do writing in my paintings and happy there is a way to seal in the marks!!!!

[@tracyloringart]

Loved the test run at the beginning! Thank you for doing this!! Perfect timing. I was just thinking about pulling out my clear gesso to play with retaining my marks.

[@CherylWilsonArt]

Oh good!!!! So happy you wrote!!!!

[@gaylehurd727]

Love your humor and art…. Please don’t stop demoing!

[@CherylWilsonArt]

Thank you!!!! Thanks for your encouragement too

[@marlenewebber832]

Thanks. Very helpful and timely for me, as applies to a current painting. I don't want any smudge. Confirmed my guess that fixative best choice.

[@CherylWilsonArt]

I appreciate your taking the time to comment and watching my channel!! Happy Painting!!!

[@PaulWalesArt]

❤. Thank you for the demo on the various applications to retain marks - extremely helpful and anxious to try all but the fixative - working in a makeshift studio in an apartment which makes it incredibly difficult to use any aerosol applications so I’ve been looking for alternatives that I can live with. Also - LOVE your art!

[@CherylWilsonArt]

Glad it was helpful! I used to work in a shared group studio and we had the same issue with sprays. I then used a gel medium but had to watch the smear!!!

[@conniesloma.artist]

So happy to see you back! Greatness!!!!!

[@CherylWilsonArt]

Thank you so much Connie!!! I missed it

[@bettyrodriguez3244]

Great demo. This is very helpful. Thanks!

[@CherylWilsonArt]

Glad it was helpful! And thank you so much for leaving a comment and watching my video. It means a lot to me.

[@brendabatchelor-vo6gm]

Thank you so much! I've also heard hair spray works. True?

[@CherylWilsonArt]

I have heard that Brenda. Many use hairspray, but as I sell my works, I feel I need to ensure I am using the best materials as people do seem to ask!!! I would just spray several times, wait in between.... even the best sprays need several coats.

[@lizzieyeehaw5016]

Just letting you know when you rinse your brush you are banging the container really loudly and your voice is not that loud so your water bucket must be closer the mic. Also, your word bubbles are too small to read. 😊 Otherwise good demo thank you.

[@CherylWilsonArt]

Ok thanks! I appreciate you watching.
