Description First thing the picture reminded me of was the beach turned sideways, with the clouds being so vastly different in size and length in correspondence to color. I also made this card to test out my new acrylic sealer from Mod Podge and so far it works really great on smaller sizes of my artwork. For some reason, when I spray it on a larger surface, I am left with a light powder on top that is only visible in some angles and on light. I am not sure if that is supposed to happen or if I am supposed to lightly brush my finger over to get id of it.. which is why I wanted to ask for tips on how to spray acrylic sealer properly on larger pieces, so please feel free to educate me on this if you can! 

Done on paper the size of 2.5 x 3.5 inches (ACEO card size) 
All the oil pastel landscape pieces were done with the reference of my own pictures. 

Media used: oil pastels

I like how creamy this piece looks, compared to some of your other oil pastel pieces. Beautiful blending of colours!

Thank you! Tried giving more variety to my oil pastel pieces so they stay interesting to look at.

i only use sealer on charcoal drawings but i get what your saying. as spacedragon says spray from a distance and quickly and lightly it might be worth doing this on practice pieces to see how it affects them.

I have tried the sealer on tester pieces for both watercolor and oil pastel, and so far it works best in being yellow-proof and not changing color of the whole piece so I guess it's alright to use. Thank you for the advice I'll test it out once more.

Aw man I wish I knew the answer to that. I never used acrylic sealer before, I'm always afraid to spray my drawing think the worse might happen.
The only thing I'll suggest is to spray if from a far distance, but I'm not sure you had that in mind and did spray it from a distance. Sorry that I can't provide you any helpful advice...
