How can I protect my canvas stain painting after directly painting on the raw canvas with acrylic paint? Do I use a clear gesso? Or do I put a varnish over my artwork to protect it?
In this video, I discuss the steps you can take to protect your acrylic stain painting, and the benefits of using acrylic paint on raw canvas. I also give tips on how to varnish acrylic paintings on canvas, and the feasibility of putting clear gesso on your finished painting.
Acrylic paints gives the artist lots of flexibility.
