After coating with medium and painting over
Before coating with medium
DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....THE WINNER IS....TRANSPARENT WATERCOLOR GROUND.
Both the YES paste and the matte medium left a bit of tackiness, which may be partly due to the humidity lately. The matte medium was a bit shiny and slick to repaint on. The YES paste could be painted over. So it wins 2nd. But the best results came from the transparent watercolor ground, on the right.
The texture was more like watercolor paper, and it wasn't shiny. I was able to paint over it and get crisp edges, and even lift in some places.
One thing I did not try was Kamar VARNISH, matte. You could lightly spray a layer of varnish to set it. Then go back with a heavier coat of varnish. Watercolor varnish can be
repainted over. Some people use it to "set" their colors and glaze over them. Now I'm wondering how that will work.
