Framing and Care of Pastel Paintings
Paintings in pastel are not fragile, but as with
all fine art, reasonable care needs to be taken to conserve their beauty. As with all pastel paintings, care must be
taken to keep anything from touching or rubbing the painting’s surface so be
sure to frame them under glass. As with all art on paper, be
careful to protect it from moisture. The
paper and the pigments I use are “archival” in that they should last
indefinitely and should not fade, but as with all paintings in color, it is
good to keep them from direct sunlight. If
you need any additional information on framing a pastel painting, feel free to
