How to protect your art journal pages | using cold wax medium

If you are already using an art journal you will be loving the opportunity to try new techniques, new mixes of media and a chance to explore your thoughts. But you might be worried about how to protect the pages in the journal. What is the best way to seal them, without them sticking together? I promised to share my discoveries with you and I think applying cold wax medium is excellent. You can use Dorland's wax or I like to use a far cheaper alternative, which is a chalk paint wax. It's designed for furniture, but works wonderfully on mixed media, enhancing colours and drying to a hard, non-sticky finish My journal is a handmade one - if you want to see how I made it, please take a look here:    • How to make a watercolour sketch book - ea...   If you want to see the pages shown here, please take a look at:    • Getting started in art journaling   and    • Easy art journal pages | Secret Garden wit...   Every week I share a tip, trick or technique I wish I had known when I started painting, so if you enjoyed this please like, comment and subscribe. Or if you have a watercolour problem, let me know and maybe I can help? If you want to have more in depth courses please head over to http://www.lizchadertonstudio.co.uk.
