No, Cyril Syzransky asked about the soil. It is more important. "Fix" pastel fixatives. Now from the spray.

About the ground do not know, but about securing, kotoroe sohranilo bright pastels by Degas, look:
"Degas did not recognize the commercial locks and a lot of time experimenting with fixative for pastels, he enjoyed casein fishes glue, a mixture of rubber and casein.
Retainer basis on which he stood is rubber. The invention belongs to Luigi Chialiva and is still a secret. Any information is welcome "

Soil for pastels and is a means of fixing.
     Bed rubbed into the surface covered with a colored ground with the addition of abrasive, sometimes painted using sandpaper
  (my best) ancient painted on specially treated leather.
Imprint bed does not make sense, certainly spoil the color and velvety material. Record in the event that work
imposing color on the color. (fix bottom layer).
Victor G. Mogilevich, for many years worked this material,
not recorded. Bed and without fixing one of the most durable techniques. (Color does not change the quality)
Several papers V. Mogilevich.

This is a pastel? Very nice!
I will not argue with you, nicola, artists to speak differently about the bed, and its consolidation.
