Brush and Pencil Advanced Coloured Pencil Texture Fixative is an acid-free, odourless, and non-yellowing fixative that enables unlimited layering of coloured pencil. Without dulling or changing the colour already on the page, it restores tooth to the surface, seals the coloured 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.
The Advanced Coloured 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.
This is a workable fixative that allows you to fix your work at a certain point and continue working, or to seal the artwork to protect it. It 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. This fixative is not designed for use as a final seal on coloured pencil drawings (use Brush and Pencil Advanced Coloured Pencil Final Fixative instead).
Please note, this fixative will not work as well if used on plastic drawing surfaces, unless it is applied directly onto the layered colour. Any surface you use it on will need to have been designed to accept liquids, since the Brush and Pencil fixatives are not acrylic-based, so they contain some alcohol to speed up their drying time.
Please note, applying fixative to any artwork is likely to change the colour tone to some degree, depending on the volume applied. Please do a test before applying on your artwork.
