Question: What can I use to keep pastels from smearing!?
My mom is taking me to Michael's art supply store later so I can get oil pastels!. I'd like to also find out if there's some sort of spray that keeps the pastel from smearing (I sometimes use hairspray, but that only works after you use MASSIVE amounts, which can leave the paper all weird and curly)!. also, is there something that'll work for chalk pastels, as well!?

if there is, please tell me the name and average price, thanksWww@QuestionHome@Com

workable fixative non-yellowing spray is best, but not eco friendly!. it's an aerosol!. I used to use it all the time, just spray evenly, horizontally in 'rows' of about 3 inches!.!.!. have fun!Www@QuestionHome@Com
