Hey Nicole. Thank you very much for the tip. I was wondering if you have ever tried fixing the charcoal with spray fixative? Do you see any inconvenience in doing so?
Thanks for watching! I have used spray fixative before, and it has seemed to work out just fine. However, I don't really like that the paint then rests on a coat of fixative, rather than directly on the ground (gesso or oil primer). Doesn't seem as archival as it could be, so that's why I choose to use this method instead. Hope that helps :)
@@nicolesleeth Absolutely. Thanks. What about using acrylic instead of oil to redraw the drawing? I am sorry to bother you. It is just in case I needed a faster way
@@alelas6709 It's no bother! Yes, you could use acrylic instead of oil, as long as the canvas is primed with gesso and not oil ground. It should dry faster than oil + galkyd.
Looks great! Thankyou. Using that method works for outlines. But how is the best way to fix large areas of shading?
Great advice, thank you
Thanks for watching!
