The fixative is amazing and prevents any 'rising up'. You might experiment with it and see how that works for you.
Hope this is of some help Leslie!

Joan, I am curious, oh and anyone else can jump in here too! My question is how much fixatif do you have to apply to be able to apply a wash without losing the drawing.
For instance do you spray a coat on and let that dry then apply a second coat let that dry then apply your wash?
Also you say you wipe on your wash could you explain what you mean by wipe on, do you mean with a rag or brush?
One more question, have you tried this on a gessoed board? This is what I am using ... a 8"x10" gessoed board oh and I guess I am braking all the rules here, I used pencil not charcoal.
Anyway, looking forward to your response!
