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.

Does not discolor or yellow oil pastels. Dries to the touch. Feels a little waxy when dry but painting won’t smudge or fade. Spray 2 or 3x’s allowing each layer to dry before spraying again. I then place a layer of glacine over the piece and place a book on top to soak up any extra oil. Afterwards, the piece will be dry to the touch and can be stored as you wish. I am pleasantly surprised with this product and will definitely buy again.

Perfect for sealing your oil pastel projects. Definitely use outside or with a mask. Not in small enclosed spaces.

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.

Extremely Expensive but I wouldn't trust my oil pastels to any other fixative and is the only one I recommend to my students.

Works as intended

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.

Very happy with the product. It met my expectations

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

Funktioniert einwandfrei. Danach verwischt die Ölkreide nicht mehr.

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.
