| Summary: | Pastel consists of powdered pigments pressed in the shape of sticks, the cohesion being almost entirely mechanical. The fragility of pastel results from the very loose holding to the surface of paper. Use a fixative which is not soluble in water and that is not likely to darken or change the colours since it has a mat finish. |
