What is a "fixative"?
A fixative is a spray or liquid used to protect drawings, sketches, or other artworks from smudging, fading, or damage. It is applied to the surface of the artwork to cover and protect materials such as pencil, charcoal, pastels, or graphite. Fixatives work by forming a protective layer that keeps the artwork from rubbing off or becoming discolored. They are commonly used to ensure that finished pieces stay in good condition and maintain their appearance over time. Fixatives come in different types, including matte and glossy, depending on the desired finish.
