LASCAUX FIXATIVE - 10oz
A fixative is a liquid which is sprayed over a drawing to better preserve it & prevent smudging. Artists often question whether drawings should be fixed, as spray fixative can alter the look of a drawing if applied too heavily by darkening or coarsening the color. Framing behind glass is considered the best protection (and in the case of oil pastels, the only option), but isn’t always practical.
Permanent fixatives are used on a finished drawing as a light sealant, while a workable fixative is used during the drawing process to extend the “tooth” of the surface allowing pastel to be built up & is best applied before adding the final layer to minimize the diminishing of color intensity.
Fixative also reduces wax bloom in colored pencil works & prevents loss of fine charcoal particles. Lascaux Fixative is the choice of the Wet Paint staff for a permanent fixative. This conservator-quality spray is as clear as water, non-yellowing & resistant to aging. It is suitable for fixing drawings in soft pastel, pencil & charcoal & is used to protect digital prints as well. BUY NOW |
