Directions on How To Use Lascaux Fixative

Lascaux Fixativ is applied in a thin, even film by spraying from a distance of approx. 30 cm in a circular movement. For use on delicate drawing paper, the distance should be increased and care taken that the paper does not become soaked through. The spraying process can be repeated until the desired result is obtained. As a varnish for acrylic paintings, Lascaux Fixativ can be applied in any number of layers (very important in attaining an even glaze and degree of gloss).

Lascaux Fine Art Fixative Archival Spray 12oz Can is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 11.

Rated 1 out of 5 by H9K07 from Pastel art smeared after application Though many reviewers raved about this product, the soft pastels it was applied to smeared as if no fixative had been applied. Expensive over other brands and ineffective. Cannot recommend, will not purchase again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shapes from Inkjet printers Recommended by Art Professor for inkjet prints and cards. Does the job effortlessly and no traces a fixative was used.

Rated 4 out of 5 by AnnRan from Works Well on Scratchboard This product was recommended by another scratchboard artist. I tried the Semi-Matte (Semi-Gloss) spray for the first time on black scratchboard and am very pleased with the way it sprays and how it looks when dry. I frame my scratchboards without glass, so I used 4 coats, turning the board 90 degrees for each coat (allowing about an hour for drying in between coats). I would give this 5 stars, but the smell is really nasty and it lingers. Smells like extra strong nail polish. Definitely use it with plenty of ventilation! It's also pricey, but worth it for the even spray it provides. I've used other brands, but the spray can be inconsistent and uneven.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kris the Kat Lady from Really great product! I've tried many different fixatives. Most of them either darken the pastel or "absorb" the brilliance. This fixative leaves the artwork exactly the way it was completed.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from lascaux fixative all other fixatives darken pastels. lascaux does not do this. I notived that the lascaux is acrilic based which is probably why it works so good on pastels.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Wagner from Smooth Black and white charcoal drawings on kraft paper. So far so good. Seems to hold a good portion of the charcoal. If anything, takes the black back a value. Sometimes good, sometimes not.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Scott H. from Lascaux Fixative and Protectant I use this product on photographs and art work. When used on these products it makes the colors just pop! It also gives the work a great protective cover.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Excellent product This sprayed on well and easily and did great job on pastels, watercolor, colored pencil, and charcoal without any color distortion after it dried. I will only use this on my fine art from now on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Spray that works Doesn't spatter, always goes on even, and no spots. It doesn't change the quality of the pastel, never darkened the work. Two light passes keeps the dust down. I've never had the framed work leave dust on the mat.

Lascaux Fine Art Fixative Archival Spray 12oz Can Reviews - page 2

I completed an oil painting and then used Sennelier oil pastels on top of it. I know it needs a varnish. Would this be a good sealant for my painting?

Asked by: jmurphy

Oil pastels have mineral oils in the binder that never completely dries. Treat them as “extra fat” in relation to oils in mixed media—the oil pastels layers should be the outermost. The surest way to protect your pastel artwork is to frame your art The traditional varnish used for applying over oil paintings is called Damar Varnish but it is a product that really only should be used to preserve oil paintings, not pastels. Because oil pastels never really dry out, they are different to deal with compared to oil paintings in terms of preserving for display or storage. It is a good idea to let your oil pastels air out for about 4 weeks before doing any type of final fixative, or framing. You have complicated the painting by adding oil pastels to the top of the artwork. It might be best to leave the canvas un-varnished. Here are some good links to finishing and preserving oil pastel artwork: 1. http://www.oilpastelsociety.com/ ( this link talks about framing, using an aerosol fixative, as well as painting an acrylic gel fixative or varnish). 2.

I have a wood table which was stained then had a pond scene painted in acrylic hand paints. I need a clear coat that will stand up to indirect sunlight and strong enough to be used regularly. Will this spray work without stripping the wood stain?

Should I use the semi-matt varnish or the fixative for soft pastels?

Asked by: LBT10

The fixative is intended for use with soft pastels. The varnish would be permanent and would muddy your colors. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
