Finishing your work

It is always a good idea to protect and preserve your art work as best as possible. Art work made from chalk as well as charcoal is the greatest example. if these are not protected properly, any dust as well as human contact will slowly start to erase or deteriorate the work. When working at home the common house hold item that is used is hairspray. Although hairspray is not the best way to go, it does work as long as dust and hands are kept away until it is fully dry. Hairspray is meant to keep things together therefor it is sticky making it easy to leave finger prints behind. It is best to purchase a can of clear coat spay paint because it can be used on practically any surface. Purchasing a can of clear coat spray paint is not a bad idea because there are some with gloss and this adds to your art.
