Postcard in Seccorell technique by Andrea Reiß
Here you will find compact answers about the Seccorell smudging technique, the use of the colors and important properties such as skin-friendliness, cleaning and smudge resistance.
The technique can already be used by kindergarten-age children under supervision. It is especially recommended for schoolchildren from first grade onward, as creating color powder on the rubbing block requires fine motor skills and concentration.
The Seccorell Finger smudge pastels are skin-friendly, safe to use and non-toxic. This makes them ideal companions for children, school and creative applications.
If color gets onto clothing, the pigments can usually be removed easily in a normal machine wash. Color residues on the fingers can be removed with water and soap or moist cosmetic wipes.
The Seccorell Finger smudging technique follows a structured process: rubbing, brushing, smudging and polishing. The color powder is rubbed from the color stick, transferred to the paper with the brush, smudged with the fingers and finally worked in with a cotton pad.
Yes. By polishing the surface with a cotton pad at the end, the pigments are worked deeply into the paper fibers so that the pictures become smudge-proof. No additional fixative spray is required.
