Acid free, odourless, non-toxic, non-yellowing and safe for indoor use, this fixative enables unlimited layering of colored pencil. Without dulling or changing the color already on the page, it restores tooth to the surface, seals the colored pencil layers and makes them resistant to water, alcohol or odourless mineral spirits. It will dry and harden in minutes, and can then be worked on. It allows development of the form either from “dark to light” or from “light to dark”. It also becomes possible to apply chromatic colors onto a dark surface without white underpainting.

This fixative is not designed for use as a final seal on colored pencil drawings (use this instead).

The Advanced Colored Pencil Texture fixative is designed specifically for use on rigid (i.e. non-flexible surfaces) and hardens when dried. It permanently bonds to wax medium.

Please note, this product cannot be delivered by air mail. Some European destinations are available by road but this will incur an additional shipping charge.

Workable Fixatives

Fixatives allow you to fix your work at a certain point and continue working, or to seal the artwork to protect it. This is a ‘Workable fixative’, which will add a toothy texture to your artwork. This is useful when the surface of the paper has become saturated, so that no more pencil will apply. If you apply a spray of workable fixative, this will add tooth back on top.
