400ml Fixative Oil Pastels D'Artigny Sennelier

This works and is simple and quick to use. It dried clear and didn’t alter the colours in my pictures. Using pads of art paper I now feel they are safe to carry around without fear of smudging. Use in a well ventilated room and give several light sprays.

I really like this fixative. I'm just starting to play with oil pastels and have some creamy ones that are very sticky on the surface of my sketchbook. This seals them perfectly. It needed a couple of coats, but there's now no transfer at all. Quite pricey but worth it I think!

Went on the reviews as first time of using fixative. True to its word. 3 light coats has sealed my picture perfectly

It sprayed easily and dried matt and clear which wz what I wanted@ Vety happy with the outcome.

Perfect for sealing oil pastel work. Dries completely in 5 minutes. No smudging afterwards.

I use Caran d'Ache exclusively in my art work. Oil pastels are tricky to protect and this product does the job. I always have this available.

Excellent product for fixing messy oil pastels

Arrived on time. It does exactly as it says on the tin. Fixed my oil pastel work brilliantly.

Don't breathe it in as it is "Made from a vinyl resin and alcohol base", and it has a strong scent as expected. Provides good protection for oil pastel works. If it's inside sketchbook and oil pastel layer is thick or heavy, when you draw on the other side of a sketch, it will leave marks on a page that's underneath - especially if you use force to draw, so regardless of varnish, put extra protection between pages if using both sides of sketchbook sheets to draw on. This varnish works really well, as expected, covering with two layers provide very good protection - and gloss. If using outdoors, try to avoid using around any plants you plan to eat in the future, and try to avoid using it near water sources. Think of direction of the wind when using outdoors to avoid accidents. Great product.

Exactement ce que je cherchais, fixe parfaitement mes pastels à l'huile, avec deux couches. Attention à bien doser, n'en mettez pas trop !

Excellent, bien efficace pour fixer les bâtons à l’huile de Sennelier . J’aimerais pouvoir m’en procurer au Québec. Le transport est trop cher

Excelente producto

Works really well on my oil pastel drawings. It makes the surface more durable but this is not like armor. It'll keep the surface from smearing if something ribs against it but it is soft enough to rework or scrape the oil pastel underneath if you need to. If you put it on heavy I noticed some of the dark blue pigments in my Myungyo Gallery oil pastels "float" and separate out from others. The key to preventing that is very light coats. The fumes are such that I strongly prefer to spray a drawing with this outdoors. But it is not an instant asthmatic trigger for me, unlike some other spray fixes. It does not wrinkle the paper, unlike alcohol-and-casein based fixes. This along with the easier to deal with fumes makes it my favorite oil pastel fixative.
