Degas Pastel Fixative, 12oz Bottle

SpectraFix Degas Pastel Fixative is a non-toxic fixative that contains casein, water, and alcohol. The formula is an update on a recipe used by French Impressionist Edgar Degas. It seals and protects your artwork while leaving colors brilliant! Degas Fixative is perfect for chemically sensitive people. You can spray it indoors and keep on working because the fixative does not release toxic fumes or odors. The spray dries to a hard, water-resistant, matte finish; and provides the traction you need to apply extra layers of dry media.

You may spray the fixative on all papers (except LaCarte), primed and unprimed canvas, wood panels, unglazed ceramic, stone, leather, and glass.

SpectraFix is the ideal fixative for soft pastel, Pan Pastel and oil pastel, colored pencil, graphite, charcoal, and chalk. You can even use the fixative to layer other media into Encaustic.

Use it under Oil or Acrylic paints to stop underdrawings from smudging. Casein bonds forever with the covering layer of paint. Like egg tempera, artists have used casein for centuries to protect underpaintings.

Please note: Not for use as a final topcoat over acrylic or oil paint.
