I looked up this paint, which I haven’t tried before. It looks like it is re-wetable and if this is so, it reminds me of a watercolor-type paint. My guess is when you put a top coat of any kind on it that you would re-wet it, which would move the paint and lose the design. But I would love you to try and let me know at donnaontheroad[at]hotmail.com.
