The point of this video is to show you how to use fixative without ruining your artwork (if you feel you need to fix it at all). There are many brands of fixative spray out there to buy - some are better than others in different ways for differing reasons and purposes. This video, however, aims to demonstrate what could potentially happen to your artwork should you be careless with your application or the spray can you use doesn't perform how it should for some reason. So, the results shown in this video are intended to be more generic in how fixative behaves with charcoal and soft pastel work, irrespective of a particular brand and type of fixative spray. To all intents and purposes, most fixatives will behave in such a manner when used "incorrectly". They can also behave unpredictably under certain conditions unknown to the user. Something we all need to be aware of. Fixative spray is not designed to be used like varnish is used on oil paintings - to completely seal in the medium with a protective layer. It is meant to form a thin protective barrier against very minor damage - ie NOT TO MAKE IT SMUDGEPROOF.
