I use the 70% solution, but there is also a 90+% solution that will dry faster. It doesn't take long with either kind. I apply it with a small brush. The bottom photo is the pastel (only) lay-in, and the middle picture is the one that has been "alcoholed." The color is richer in that one. The top photo is the finished painting.

What type of alcohol do you use, and what do you use to apply it (brush)? Which picture represents the "after" you've applied alcohol?
