Thank you Dawn and PanPastel.

Thank you Dawn. I find your videos and book so inspiring. In this 1 hour, I have ideas for a dozen ways I can use the techniques demonstrated. And to those watching, Dawn’s book PASTEL INNOVATIONS and accompanying videos helped me to thoroughly understand art principles in a new way and brought my art to a new level. You are a great teacher.

Watching the replay! So much great information and inspiration! Thank you!

love the monotype with pans.

The type of fixative you recommended doesn’t do much even though it’s very expensive. I’ve used them all, and have found the best one to be Spectrafix fixative. . It needs to be put into a florisol bottle. The bottle it comes in splatters, Florisal bottles create a fine mist. You can also spray this fixative indoors, as it’s active ingredient is casein so it’s non-toxic. It was the same mixture that Edgar Degas used. If you use pan pastels on Pastelmat paper you don’t need any kind of fixative. See Jason Morgan’s KZbin video on fixatives for a demonstration and review.

Thank you for your feedback. We find that everyone has their own individual favorites when it comes to fixative - whether to use or not to use, and also which brands are popular. The main thing is to find what works best for you, and it sounds like you have tried different options and found your favorite.

Do you have to treat your paper with any kind of spray or anything

Hi Jane - Dawn didn't do anything with the papers that she used in the demonstration prior to using them. I hope this helps, if you have any further questions - please let us know. [e-mail]

What is the black paper you used?

[@PanPastel]

Sorry about the delay in replying. We checked with Dawn and she said it was a piece of spare paper that she had that is normally used for scrapbooking.
