Artist Joanna Hudson reviews the Spectrafix Degas Pastel Fixative<\/a>, an all-natural, odour-free fixative for pastel and oil pastel, chalk, charcoal and pencil.<\/p>\n

\n

The\u00a0Spectrafix Degas Pastel Fixative is an archival-quality, milk-protein fixative with a number of\u00a0uses. It can be used to fix and protect finished drawings in pastel, chalk, charcoal, pencil, coloured pencil or oil pastel, and\u00a0to prevent a\u00a0preliminary drawing from smudging or running during\u00a0the application of oil paint.<\/p>\n

One of the distinctive\u00a0uses of Spectrafix is the way it facilitates layering. Most pastel artists will recognise the frustration\u00a0of working on a page\u00a0which has become saturated with pastel; Spectrafix can be\u00a0used to fix and restore friction to a saturated surface,\u00a0so that additional layers of pastel can be applied.<\/p>\n

\"Spectrafix\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Spectrafix is not supplied in a pressurised\u00a0container; it uses a finger-pump. Since the\u00a0only ingredients are water, grain alcohol and casein (a protein extracted from cows-milk), the spray is\u00a0non-toxic, almost-odourless, and ecologically sound.\u00a0This makes it ideal for artists without a studio or a dedicated working-space at home.<\/p>\n

Artist Joanna Hudson reviews the Spectrafix Degas Pastel Fixative<\/h2>\n

The fact that Spectrafix is safe for use indoors was brought to our notice by one of our customers, Joanna Hudson, who was moved to write a review of the product on our website.\u00a0We contacted her to find out more about her working methods and about how Spectrafix comes in useful.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve been making art for around two and a half years. I used to draw when I was a kid but I was discouraged by some hyper-critical schoolteachers, so I gave up until I came across some brilliant classes and teachers online.\u00a0I love drawing, mixed media and watercolour and I\u2019m trying to improve my acrylics skills at the moment. I use charcoal fairly regularly\u2014 I love the impermanence and unpredictability, especially when I’m using very large sticks\u2014\u00a0although obviously I bought Spectrafix for those times when I actually want something to stay put!<\/p>\n

“I used to use Winsor & Newton Artist\u2019s Fixative <\/a>for pastel, charcoal and pencil.\u00a0It doesn\u2019t work anywhere near as well\u2014 I\u2019ve found even with a couple of coats charcoal in particular has still smudged quite badly.\u00a0It can\u2019t be used indoors (certainly not in my flat \u2013 possibly\u00a0in a very large, well-ventilated space but even then I wouldn\u2019t recommend it.)<\/p>\n

“As I have very limited space, things tend to end up in folders and it\u2019s easy for pastels and charcoal in particular to get smudged. I\u2019ve found thus far that drawings treated with Spectrafix have come out of storage in the same state they went in \u2013 even one on cardboard that I\u2019d shoved into a folder with no care at all looks the same. I also liked the idea of being able to fix layers without using mediums or varnish so I could still work over the top of them. Most of those\u00a0products\u00a0are quite toxic,\u00a0s<\/span>o I was very pleased to discover Spectrafix.<\/p>\n

“I would recommend two coats, especially if it\u2019s something with thick marks. I also recommend that if you\u2019re spraying charcoal you keep the artwork flat, because it might well run if you don\u2019t!”<\/p>\n

Joanna’s Original Review<\/h2>\n

“Non-toxic. Non-stinky. Eco-friendly. Can use it inside (a huge benefit for me as I have no private outside space) and it works! Used on charcoal drawings and a couple of quick sprays and it stays put! I’ve also worked over the top of something after spraying without any problems. I agree with another reviewer who, like me, doesn’t do reviews; this product warrants it.”<\/p>\n

We’ve chosen this review as our Review of the Month, and have sent Joanna a Jackson’s Art Supplies voucher.<\/p>\n
