Product Information

Testing winners for distance and amount of application for a good balance of smudge protection and least colour change.

Using a fixative spray can help protect your artwork from fading due to UV rays, moisture accumulation, dust build-up and more. Investing in a good quality fixative spray is highly recommended for all artists who wish to preserve their artworks for years to come. It’s safe to say that a final fixative completes your masterpiece so it can withstand the test of time. As it can also stop ugly smudges and protect it from dust and dirt, you’ll be able to prep your artwork for framing or secure it for delivery or traveling. Although the brand endorses its toned-down smell, it does not fall behind with its stabilizing properties. It is carefully crafted to stop smudging and keep your drawings and paintings in their finest shape. Fixatives are available and accessible in many particular shops, although you may not always find them in some local art shops or other art establishments.Do not spray heavy applications all at once. This may result in significant color changes and other dramatic effects to your work.

Although some brands offer natural formula, there are fixatives (mostly aerosol sprays) that contain toxic ingredients that may pose potential harm to your health. The fumes are typically strong and horribly smelly which can lead to headaches and eye irritations.I find it a treat to have this fixing spray in a workable variant. It is formulated with flexible content that handles many sorts of art media such as pastel, watercolor, pencil, charcoal, and water-based media. Spectrafix is not supplied in a pressurised container; it uses a finger-pump. Since the only ingredients are water, grain alcohol and casein (a protein extracted from cows-milk), the spray is non-toxic, almost-odourless, and ecologically sound. This makes it ideal for artists without a studio or a dedicated working-space at home.

I am impressed by how these ingredients work to make it a reliable fixative tool and to eliminate toxic fumes or odors at the same time. It’s a nice treat that you can spray indoors without struggling with a dreadful chemical smell.

And if you want to make changes to your charcoal drawing? No problem; simply erase or rework the drawing as desired! Grumbacher Workable Fixative Grumbacher houses a vast lineup of fixatives for various art media. And when it comes to final fixatives for oil pastels, this gloss sprayfix works like a charm. There is no ISO standard for permanent fineliners in general and therefore none especially for our point 88 either. However, the inks are more than sufficient for office use as they can neither be erased with ink-eraser nor easily oxidised with chlorine solution. In addition, in a test of archived documents kept in folders for 10 years the point 88 ink was still legible. ” If your colored pencil drawing has some bloom, fix it with a gloss spray first and then use a matte fixative over it. The gloss fixative should even out the surface and get rid of wax bloom.
