I only use those on the face and flesh tones and beginning stages of the painting, I start adding the softer pastels on the background and clothes etc. late r in the painting, but never on the face. I don't use fixative because the surface I paint on holds onto the paint very well. You will see this in the next video. Thanks for asking and taking the time to look..I hope this helps you.. Take care, Al If anyone else has any questions please feel free to write...
