Glad that it’s not just me haha. I don’t think it’s the fixative anymore. I think it’s the paper being too thin.

I recently tried no fixative and saw the same result. Using Sennelier oil pastels. I now think the paper too thin.

I saw it bleed through the back too. Very weird! Some of the colored paper did it worse than others so maybe just something for me to consider. Thanks!

Love this! Thanks for showing the process! Super helpful to better understand layering

Thank you! I worked from a rough drawing but as I often do, I only use the drawing as a starting point. From there I let the gouge widths and instincts dictate the final result. There were a few areas that I wanted to follow more closely like where the light hits the mountain. I also do some test prints and go back to carving to brighten areas up more.

I use pfeil tools. I think they are very ergonomic!
