How to layer watercolour on canvas - plus a full review of Schmincke Aquafix

Painting watercolours on canvas is brilliant! No more framing, no size restrictions and it's easy to correct mistakes because the paint lifts so easily. But layering watercolours is important and being able to put on beautiful glazes without losing the transparency is a skill we all need to learn. With the paint lifting easily from watercolour ground, it means glazing is really difficult.

There has to be a way round this problem - right? I have found that using just the right amount of Schmincke Aqua-fix is a great solution and in this film, I show you how. I also show you a few alternatives and go through all the pros and cons.


I did this film after it was requested by friend in the Watercolour on Canvas Facebook group. If there is a watercolour topic you want addressing, please just ask and don't forget to like and subscribe, which means these films will be suggested to more people.
