What is Spray Fixative?\n\nSpray fixative is usually used on dry media artwork to help stabilise the colour or pigment of the surface. It is a clear liquid spray that protects the artwork and preserves the piece for display. It is made with resin or casein and evaporates quickly much like an alcohol spray.\n\nWinsor & Newton Masterclass: Using A Fixative With Charcoal\n\nMade with a colourless aerosol formula, Winsor & Newton Professional Fixative is specifically formulated to protect your artwork from smudging and dust. It has a non-yellowing solution and dries to a low sheen.\n\nSimply spray an even layer over your work to prevent it from smudging or dusting. Use two or three very light sprays and wait several minutes between each application for optimal results. The fixative dries quickly and is completely transparent. The fixative can be layered, making it great for use with charcoals and pastels and allowing you to add further depth to your artwork.\n\nThis product is a .
