Second Resin attempt

I'm in the process of putting all my old ink drawings on canvas or wood and applying a layer of resin. This is a convenient way to finish them. They are ready for display as soon as the layer of resin is hard.
I had never really wanted to place all these drawings under glass and in frames. It seemed kind of stuffy to me, adding such a hard barrier between the drawings and the viewer. They're meant to be looked at closely. There is a lot of detail.
Resin has the advantages of being permanent, cheaper than traditional frames, and giving the viewer the feeling of more immediate access to the work.

Here is the latest resined piece:

Additionallly, these resined pieces could still be framed if someone wished. They don't need glass, as the resin acts as a sturdy barrier against the elements and oily fingers.
As with any painting, resined pieces should still be protected from sunlight.

My next post, hopefully, will be a play by play of the process, using this piece:

Ink drawing Poly Resined on Canvas

This project started off as an ink drawing on watercolor paper.
I sprayed the drawing with a matte glaze to fix the inks, then I used gel gloss medium to glue the drawing to a prepped canvas. When all was dry, I poured poly resin over the whole.

Lessons learned:
1. apply several coats of fixative. The poly resin still picked up a slight orange color from the ink.
2. make sure the corners of the drawing are firmly glued down BEFORE pouring the poly resin. I was lazy and thought the poly resin would glue them down better. Not. They still curled up slightly despite the resin. I'll need to go back and fix that.

3. Photograph the work BEFORE finishing with the resin.

As you can see from this photo, the resin is very shiny, making it hard to photograph the work and get a good representation. The colors are much more saturated than shown here, and a lot of detail (especially in the corners) is washed out.
