    Hello everyone!!!

    A while back when I took some fine art classes the teacher/artist told as to use hairspray as a cheap fixative. I have used it a coulple of times on my drawings. Has anyone else used information technology.
    I wonder what are the long term effects???

    no don't
    it's not archival and can plow your cartoon yellow over fourth dimension…it's an erstwhile wives tale to use it…

    I employ practically always hairspray equally a fixative. Until now I accept never seen any quality change in my works. And some of them are made several years ago. Probably at that place are some hairsprays that aren't adept for this, and if you want to play it rubber you shouldn't employ information technology, but I personally trust information technology pretty much.

    Hairspray may non be archival, just information technology probably still contains shellac, the principal ingredient of fixative. I use it for my sketches in my sketchbooks, have done so for 20 years without yellowing. I also use it when I travel, and since I employ it "between layers", and don't set up the final result, I have found no problem with discoloration. Perhaps it would be a adept idea to employ archival quality fixative for piece of work you program to sell, but if yous want to apply hairspray for work you plan to keep for yourself, I think that is OK. The master thing nearly fixative of any kind, is to realise that it is Not a varnish. Don't drench your work. Even practiced quality fixative will darken your piece of work if you drench it.

    do you worry virtually the make of hairspray at all? i would assume that the ones that are rougher on my hair would also be rougher on my art. are there any that you stay away from?

    I take used it in the past too but today there are a LOT of different sprays with dissimilar ingredients. Just check the labels and come across which ones contain "lacquer"….probably the cheaper ones. Simply it is safer to use a regular "fixative" fabricated for that purpose.

    Apart from the fact that I don't like information technology when my paintings and drawings odour like a hairdressers', I have constitute that the principal flaw is that it doesn't fix your drawings as much as real fixative does.

    I used hairspray during school (college) and accept non seen much deterioration in the work (pastels, charcoal). Granted information technology was exploratory student work. I use Golden gel medium and a UV gel to end my piece of work now (collage). BUT…if you do usa the spray, use an droplets and keep away from open flames!

    Well, I'd trust fixative more I would hair spray. And since fixative is about the aforementioned toll and sold at most Wal-Marts (convient), I'd suggest go with the fixative :)

    Arlene may take a unique perspective since she works in colored pencils mostly. I imagine fixing a colored pencil drawing with hairspray could lead to problems, but for black and white stuff it works quite well. I use aqua-net, and I haven't had any yellowing, but my drawings aren't more than than 3 years old at most.

    The old ones look just the same as the unsprayed newspaper.

    I've used pretty much only hairspray as a (inexpensive) fixative. In fact more than then half of the artists I know employ it and the residue paint.
    Like it was said before, using an archival fixative would be expert for the work that you plan on selling. I figure, though, nearly of my sketches are going to be for personal collections and a lot of the paper that I work on has a yellow tint to it anyways.

    I hadn't seen this thread until tonight. Which reminds me, I think that I should go out and gets me some aqua-net!

    Good thread by the mode.

    Hair spray equally a fixative, and so employ odorless if you don't like the odor or existent fixative if it's some really proficient work. But I think it'south quite a common exercise, not that that lonely makes it correct.

    Tracy HI, I have never seen it at our Wal Mart as it IS more expensive………hair spray for about a buck and modest can fixative $iv.50 at college bookstore.
