It dries very quickly, is UV protectant, does not change the colors at all after it dries. In my testing I found out that it protects not only from stains and dust, but also from small drops of water - no trace at all if you wipe it out fairly quickly. I use the matte variety; it also comes as glossy. If you can't get that, any archival spray for charcoal, pastel, or other dry media should work as well. Joanne, I use the Lascaux fine art fixative.

What I did was used watersolable colored pencils to lay down the first layer, then I used a brush with water to blend. Then I repeated the process. Near the end I used fixitive spray to allow me to lay down one more layer of color, then once more fixitive to keep the painting from smearing it touched by anyone.
