To ensure my paintings capture the subject with brightness and clarity, all the art materials I use are of the highest quality. I only use colours that are "artist" grade and so contain a high level of pigmentation, which gives bright and vivid hues. The pigments themselves are of high permanence (high degree of light fastness) and so under normal conditions are resistant to fading.

This work has not been fixed with acrylic fixative, which protects the pastel painting, However, using a fixative does affect the finished colour and so some of the image's liveliness can be lost.
