This is a deep dive into how to frame pastel paintings. I speak in detail to picture framer Mitchell Jones (his framing business is part of the Peninsula Gallery https://www.pengal.com/framing) about all the protection considerations when it comes to framing soft pastel pieces.

Some of the topics we cover are:
the framer/client relationship
how to present/store/transport your pastel painting to the framer
glass
various ways of framing a pastel painting
mats and backing
is fixative necessary?

We'd really LOVE to have your feedback do you have questions about things we didn't cover or questions about clarifying what we talked about? Let us know.

Here's a link to the P90 tape Mitchell was referring to: https://amzn.to/3x1nDwd

Also, we plan on creating a video about the aesthetics to consider when framing soft pastel paintings. Let us know in the comments if that's of interest and what your questions are around that topic. HEY, we made that video so go watch it!    • How to choose the right frame for you...
