Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a fixative for artwork I do in pen?
No—in fact, the solvents in fixatives may result in pen lines bleeding. If you have mixed media work requiring a fixative that has pen work in it, be sure to conduct a small scale-test with your specific materials and your fixative of choice to make sure there will be no adverse effects before spraying completed artwork.
