Rockwell used shellac

Mike:

I have a book about Norman Rockwell in which he is quoted as saying that he first did a drawing (in ink, I think, but maybe charcoal), and then preserved it with a coat of shellac (sp?). That way, he said, he could always wash a little spot and find his original drawing. Same idea as yours, it sounds like, to me.
