If you wanted to paint watercolor on a mirror there is nothing wrong with that. It's all about learning. I have painted watercolors on both canvas and masonite board. They turned out nicely. To seal them I used Golden Archival Varnish Mineral Spirit Acrylic Aerosol with UVLS in gloss finish. My paintings were done with iridescent watercolors and any other finish than gloss would have dulled the iridescence.Make sure the mirror is laying flat on spread out newspaper to collect the over spray. If it's not laying flat, the paint could run. When you first begin spraying, hold the can about 12 inches from the mirror. Start spraying off the side of the mirror and move across the mirror and stopping off the other side of the mirror. You want to spray with a side to side motion. You do not want to start spraying on the mirror. You will want to do several light coats rather than one or two heavy coats, heavy coats will make the paint run. You will want to make the first coat very light, just to hold the paint in place. Then you can add more coats to seal it. It dries pretty quickly and you will want to let it dry between coats so the paint doesn't run.There is no guarantee that this will work. But people also paint watercolor on Yupo paper. Yupo is a synthetic paper that the watercolor just sits on top of. If the paint was rewet on Yupo it would just run off.Just remember to have fun with your art. Never listen to people who tell you what you can and can't do with your art. Art is self expression. We learn by doing. Just because someone else (even if that someone else is a long time professional in the business) says that is not how it is 'supposed' to be done, you can do your art however you want - it's yours.

Watercolor is meant for paper only. The paint pigments go into the fibrous paper. Glass is non-porous. Anything you put on the paint now will re-activate the paint and make it run. Take a photo of the painting on the mirror that you did to use as a photo reference, then wash the paint off of the mirror and re-do it using the proper paint. Ultimately, the best paint you should use for glass would be something called One Shot enamel. It's lead based so use it in well-ventilated room and wash brushes using solvent.

It will seal anthing to make it permanent. You can purchase it at wal-mart in the craft section or if you don't have a wal-mart, you can order it online at Sax.com or Dick Blick.com This sealer will also seal charcoal, pencil, marker, crayon, chalk or oil pastel, ink, watercolor, acrylic, or oil paint , even over other varnishes.

Most fundamental of the social sciences and personally the most interesting. Goes well with politics, geography etc. Pretty much fits with most sciences.

There's no such thing as a 'native culture'. Cultures transcend boundaries and are always in flux socially and historically. @slikrok593 > That’s a distorted view.
