Utilising Fixatives for Pastel Artwork
Creating artwork using pastels is a joy for many artists. The vibrancy and blendability of pastels make them a popular choice for creating stunning pieces of art. However, preserving the integrity of the artwork can be a challenge due to the powdery nature of pastels. This is where a fixative comes in. A fixative is a solution which, when sprayed over the artwork, keeps the pastel particles in place, prevents smudging and fading, and helps preserve your artwork. At The Sydney Art Store, we offer a curated selection of high-quality fixatives for pastel art. With their innovative functionality, our fixatives ensure the lasting performance of your pastel creations, turning them into timeless artworks.
Why Pastels Are Perfect for Artists of All Levels
Pastels are a medium that offers something for everyone, from beginners exploring artistic techniques to professionals pushing the boundaries of their creativity. Their direct application allows for immediate results, while their versatility supports a wide range of styles, from fine detail work to bold, expressive compositions. Soft pastels are perfect for blending and layering, while oil pastels offer a smooth, creamy texture that works well for vibrant, full-coverage designs. Hard pastels provide the precision needed for sketching or adding intricate details. Whether used alone or combined with other media, pastels inspire creativity and help artists of all levels produce striking, dynamic artwork.

Investing in high-quality pastels can make a noticeable difference in the outcome of your artwork. Artist-grade pastels are crafted with superior pigments, providing rich, vibrant colours that blend effortlessly. They are also more durable, reducing issues like crumbling or uneven application. Many professional pastels are designed with lightfast properties, ensuring your artwork retains its brilliance over time. While student-grade pastels may suffice for practice or casual use, premium options deliver consistent performance and smoother application, elevating your creative process. For serious artists, the reliability and quality of high-grade pastels are worth the investment, enabling you to achieve stunning, professional-level results with every piece.
