I find using a high quality paper has suited my style more favorably than using fixatives between layers. Though, I haven't tried mixing pastels with other mediums so I'd be curious to see how they'd interact. I'd love to see your works with mixed media!

Thank you for your kind words! Your work is beautiful! I rarely use spray fixatives with pastels as some have the tendency to shift the value of lighter areas. If I know a piece is going to take many layers I'll use Sennelier Latour spray but only for my dark/medium values so the lights can pop!

These look great. Thank you for taking the time to share them! ❤️

Would you mind recommending some of your favorite books?

Thank you so much! The eyes are always so much fun on these kinds of creatures.

Thanks friend ❤️
