In this video I explain how to protect and preserve your watercolors over time. ABOUT THIS VIDEO ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Protecting your watercolor paintings from UV rays to preserve them is important. You will need to take this into account, ideally, even before creating your works. Indeed, the use of certain colors or pigments will be more appropriate than others. Resistance to light is an important criterion. Similarly, exposure to the sun is not adequate, place your watercolor paintings in places where they are not too exposed. The shelf life of a watercolor is approximately 100 years in good conditions. Using a fixative will also be very useful, and I will show you the one I personally use for paintings that I absolutely want to keep. Feel free to share your questions with me in the comments!
