SENNELIER D'artigny Oil Pastel Sprayfix 400Ml

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.

I used this to seal an oil pastel I've been working on. Worked perfectly. Does need to be used outside due to how strong that smell is. I would recommend and will be buying this again in the future.

Great product. Dries as quickly.

this is amazing for preserving oil pastels since they never dry, but be careful to use multiple thin layers and distance the can from the paper otherwise it will create water droplets that ruin your art

This seem to lay down and work well it is subtle and beautiful. It is expensive but I think it is worth it. I drew with oil pastels on thank you cards and mailed them off and I understand they arrived unscathed and intact. Doesn’t seem to skew color or value. Can’t speak to archival quality at this point. Really like though.

I recently started working with oil pastels and needed something to stop the smudging. This spray works very well to stop smudging and the transfer of oil pastels. I would recommend spraying this outside it in a spray booth because it has a very strong smell. It’s very easy to use just spray is sweeping motions across surface. I noticed it’s necessary to do 2-3 coats to fully lock in the color. The texture of the oil pastel changed a little bit but the overall color and appearance stays the same.

Thin layered sheen to make oil pastel painting look nice and helps doesn’t smear. Smell was not too strong but still have to use it for outside. Runs out rather quickly. Wish cheaper.

This is the best oil pastel fixative! I usually scan my work and idea of oil pastels being smudges all over my scanner was not appealing to me. I used this fixative on the bird i drew. There are a lot of layes on it. I did 3 light spray layers about 30 minutes apart. I waited for it to dry overnight. It looks completely dry. I can't see any shine in it. It looks great! This fixative is pricey but it definitely worth every penny!
