Hi folks.......was looking a wee bit of advice.I hAan artist commission this coloured pencil drawing for myself of the MV Goodwill Trader passing Narrow Water Keep in Warrenpoint and was wondering ............would I be safer glazing it or not.

If it is on paper then it should be glaszed. The only thing in my book which don't get glazed are oils and acrylics on canvas.

Absolutely essential to glaze it.

Cheers folks. It just looked so sharper without it .....but as you`s both said glaze it probably would be better to just incase.Thanks again

If you used some type of anti-reflective glass (NOT the horrible etched stuff) then you would hardly know it had glass in.

It's a pricey option though.

Being an original you may want to consider UV filtering glass too.
