Krylon K01374000 Gallery Series Fixatif Aerosol Spray, 11 Ounce, Matte

Amazing product, I'm a visual artist and have been using this product for a while now. Used it to seal pencil drawing on canvas.

I been using this stuff for the past few weeks now and so far its performing better then the regular krylon workable fixative.With the krylon workable fixative, each time i used it i kept either getting a dusty gray layer on top that would just wipe off and the drawing would not be fixed to the paper which took way too many coats to do or too much fixative would end up the paper not allowing me to draw on top of it anymore.The gallery series fixative doesn't have either of those problems for me. Takes very little layers to fix it to the paper and that when using thin/light coats.Though i would say, the workable part of this, you should be careful because if you spray too much it will turn into a final fixative. You probably wont get many more drawing layers down with this also unlike a regular workable fixative. i would say maybe two or three layers of drawing. If you need a lot of workable layers then you may want to play it safe and use a plain workable fixative.the directions say:for a workable fixative, apply VERY light coats for a workable protectionfor a final fixative, apply just a several light coats for a final protections

i’m getting into mixed media and altered books, and art journals. In the process of learning i’ve had success and fails with products. this was a success! just what I needed to seal my art done in regular ink, charcoal or pencil - which previously would get smeared to the point of ruined with a top coat. nice smooth sheen. and delivered right to my door, a big plus since i live in rural area 40 minutes from a proper art supply store.

Can sometimes need several layers to prevent smudging, but overall very good

I've started dibblin and dabbling with drawing portraits using graphite and charcoal. It got a little messy so I did some research on what I could use to prevent smudging....I tried this stuff. I sprayed 4 coats. I loved the results and so did my sister (the portrait was for her)

The spray definitely works. No smell, no mess!cjr

This is my preferred fixatif. It goes on smoothly with no splatter spots and doesn't make the darker spots look more shiny.

Krylon Gallery Fixative was used on a charcoal drawing. I did some research & it came down to this one. Haven't used a fixative before as this was my first charcoal piece. So far it "fixed" my drawing after several applications, about 3 light coats in each 4 directions. Then did another series of 3 light coats for two more times. I worried that a heavy application might may the drawing darker. Remember to spray your first spray on something else than your artwork to ensure the nozzle sprays like a mist. The nozzle worked great & did not clump up at all. Would highly recommend this product. The smell as with any product such as this, you do want to have good ventilation.
