RE: Back Home Getting Grounded
Sorry to hear about your asthma, I hope you'll be without soon.
Sounds to me your life is far from dull!
75 pastels is amazing and just two days "holidays" means you are on track and have left for hopefully some relaxing days.
Those clear plastic envelopes don't stick to the oil pastels or did you spray them first? Here I can still not buy the special fixative, but saw a video on YouTube where different sprays and "varnishes" were tried out.
I intend to try out the cheap "gloss" I use for the acrylic paintings, though it is brush work.
I’ll be better. A change in the climate, and during the change in season. Body will adjust:)
The fixative I use keeps them in tact without smudging the plastic, and I’ve stacked them 100 high in a box. I am using Winston and Newton, but also had success with Krylon.
Both are meant for oil pastels or just the average fixative? I only found Sennelier but it is not available here since months. I doubt that will change. Supplies are getting fewer.
Can you tell me what Emma used? Oil pastels or sift pastels, pencils? How come hers do not smudge?
I still try to dry one on a canvas.
