Have you wondered how to use charcoal in mixed media paintings? Whether you should seal the charcoal before painting on top and how to do it.
In this video I would like to answer those questions and show you what I do when working with charcoal and mixed media.

Why would we want to seal in the charcoal before painting on top with acrylics or oils? What happens if we don’t ?
If the charcoal is not sealed in it can get smudged or rubbed off completely. If you want to use acrylic paint on top of a charcoal drawing the colors can become dirty or muddy looking as the charcoal particles mix with the paint.

So if you are looking to build up layers in charcoal and perhaps combine them with acrylics or oil paint you will need to seal or fix the layers of charcoal before adding paint on top. See my 4 step process here.
