The special pastel protection spray Nieuweboer mentioned is called "fix". You spray it on drawings and pastels. I never thought about it before, but it just may work! It doesn't take a heavy spray to cover the work, and it dries fast. Stinks, though. Most of the time when you fix a picture you do it outside. I would imagine if it works for artwork and doesn't change the colors, it might do the same for weathering. Also, you might go to a ceramic store and buy mason stain. it works well and is real cheap-a little bag of it would probably last the rest of your life. It comes in powder and a lot of colors. You're supposed to fire it along with the ceramic, using it like glaze, but I'll bet it would work without. Sometimes I rub it in real good with my fingers instead of a brush. There are lots of things in an art store that will work in this hobby. <br /> <br />m
