Waxing your Watercolors

Do you want to stop using glass and a matboard when you frame your watercolors? Waxing your watercolors is the solution to that question. Watch video below to see the different waxes I used to seal my watercolors for glassless framing. I will also have to film a video soon on how to mount your paper to a panel... coming soon!
