This is another practice on pastels. Here I used fixative, and I observed afterwards that it changed the intensity of the colors in the painting. I read somewhere that fixative darkens the colors, thus many pastels' users avoid it in their paintings. However, many use it to avoid smudging. I think I have to read further on this issue to know the benefits of using and not using it.
Beautiful study, Cora! I like your "pettirosso"! Have a good week end!

Loving your bird in pastels, Cora. I see your moving on from watercolors, Good for you..
ReplyDeleteI do watercolors, but a lot of pencil also, and have used fixative on those and am always afraid of it changing the look, so far that hasn't happened with graphite. BJ
