It does make the colors a bit brighter, but I imagine it is an effect of the fix and wax in the pencils combining.<br />I have no experience with that brand of fix and pastel. <br />Make a 'test' paper with your colors and try some fixatives on it, rather than risk an artwork. <br />Spray fixing is always the scariest part of any piece for me.Leslie Haweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933649274394414938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226778720693078585.post-186262626233233722010-01-15T10:27:13.085+01:002010-01-15T10:27:13.085+01:00We used to swear by hairspray when I was an art st...We used to swear by hairspray when I was an art student - another way to fix is to hold the artwork (not too close) over a steaming kettle or pan, which has the advantage of not putting an extra element on your work.
