Fixing pastels?

(1/4) > >>

phs Paddy:

After applying pastels as a dust or wash what is your method of choice for fixing the area? There maybe applications where the preference is not to fix.  I’m new at this and would appreciate any guidance or suggestions.

Thanks for your time.  :)

Some modellers spray them with matt varnish.

Thanks for that David.

I used good old Testor's Dullcote on mine Paddy, and it worked well.

Cheers,

Chris

Ian from Doncaster:
A spray of matt varnish or a carefully brushed on coat of Klear - the latter is ok if the pastels are brushed into the paint well, especially if the base paint is matt and provides a good key for the pastels.
