Thanks, Serena for these videos. They remind me of ideas that I have seen and have not used lately.

Thank you for this video Serena!! How do you seal pastel sticks? I started to add pastel marks as a finishing touch on my acrylic artwork but I don’t know how to seal them without smudging. Thank you sooooo much in advance!

[@spatt833]

Question, what would you use to seal the artwork...varnish?

[@serenartful]

When the piece is really dry to the touch, you can seal it with a layer of clear cold wax. Let that dry and then buff with a cloth for an even finish.

What kind of pigment sticks are they .R ?

[@anamullan9558]

Did y ever use Sennelier Oil sticks?

[@nokiot9]

I do. They’re the exact same as RF

[@nokiot9]

Important tip: R&F sticks are acidic and you absolutely DO need to prime your canvas or board or it can eat it up over time. It’ll take like ten years- but it’s still something you wanna consider

Thanks, Tommy. I prime my boards with gesso.
