Krylon - Fine Art Fixatif

Fine Art Fixatif

Seal charcoal and pastel drawings without darkening delicate whites

Pastels and charcoal need protection without alteration, no darkening, no yellowing, no dissolved whites that flatten your carefully preserved highlights. Krylon Fine Art Fixatif delivers exactly that. Its low-solids formula creates an invisible protective layer that holds fragile dry media in place while maintaining the exact tonal values you established. The spray goes on evenly without pooling or saturating, crucial when working with chalk pastels where excess moisture means instant color shift.

This fixative prevents dusting and smudging without building the heavy surface film that changes how paper feels under your hand. You can apply it between layers during complex pastel work, fixing each stage before adding more pigment on top. The formula resists fading over time, protecting finished pieces from the gradual deterioration that unprotected dry media suffers. Charcoal drawings maintain their deep blacks and subtle gradations; pastel portraits keep their luminous whites and delicate transitions.

Professional conservators and working artists trust this formulation because it does its job without announcing its presence. Your whites stay white, your lights stay light, and your surface stays workable for additional layers when needed.
