You can set it with a paint medium, I forget which, but i recommend the book Faux Applique goes over quilts with color pencils extensively, really like the book, but haven't done one myself

Doesn't look like any camera problems to me. This is absolutely beautiful!
Question:? How will you wash this using colored pencils or...are they permanent pencils...or do you treat the art piece with something when finished?
I have painted on fabric using acrylics, there was an extender that I added to the paint to make them washable.
I would love to see this in person.
Great Work:))
