There are a few key reasons why you may want to fix your pastel drawing:
Preventing Smudging and Damage
Pastels are very soft and the pigment can easily smudge or rub off, especially if the drawing is not framed behind glass.
Applying a fixative creates a protective barrier that helps prevent smudging and keeps the pastel in place.
This is especially important if the drawing will not be framed under glass, as it helps preserve the artwork over time.
Allowing for Additional Layers
Fixative can be applied in thin layers between pastel applications, allowing you to build up more pastel on top without disturbing the underlying layers
This gives you more flexibility to develop the drawing further and add details.
Enhancing Vibrancy
Fixative can sometimes help enhance the vibrancy of pastel colours, especially if applied in thin layers.
However, it’s important to note that most fixatives will darken and alter the colours to some degree.
Protecting Against Environmental Factors
Fixative helps protect the drawing from environmental factors like dust, moisture, and UV rays that can damage the pastel over time.
This helps preserve the artwork for longer.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that no fixative will completely prevent smudging or make a pastel drawing totally smudge-proof. Framing the artwork behind glass is still the best way to protect it long-term. Fixative should be seen as a supplementary protection measure, not a replacement for proper framing.
