paint cracking on artwork - advice please

[deaconblue]

Ds' first ever painting was on canvas and done in typical kiddy poster paint. It was a present for dh for Christmas. Trouble is the paint is starting to crack. Anything I can do to remedy it, or will we have to pretend it's a design feature??

not much you can do i'm afraid. except maybe touching it up. but because of the nature of poster paint it'll probably just crack again. I'd suggest covereing with a water based art varnish but chances are it would just get all muddied with the paint and make a BIG mess.
Sorry! HTH

I thought so. I went for poster paints as was worried about him licking it and ELC did non toxic paint. Never mind, his daddy still loves it, cracks and all
