How To Resin A Charcoal Drawing
- Complete your charcoal drawing on paper sized to fit your wood panel. Once the painting is dry, mount the artwork onto the panel using your chosen adhesive - whether it's a spray adhesive, a glue stick, or a brush-on adhesive.
💡 TIP: For optimal results, smooth out any wrinkles or air pockets by either using your hands or gently rolling a brayer over the top. This ensures the paper is securely and evenly attached to the panel, with no air pockets. - Seal your work using a spray sealant, allowing it to dry completely according to the label directions. Choose a sealant that dries clear, offers UV protection, and is designated safe for charcoal.
