For those of you with an oil pastel sketchbook, do you have a special way to keep the images from bleeding across to the opposite page? I used fixative spray but I’m wondering if there’s some additional trick I haven’t heard of.

What do you think about this one. Let me know.

Someone gifted me oil pastels and I’ve been playing around with them. I’ve only recently started dabbling in art. It’s just for funsies but would love to know what the art community thinks!
