Fixative or no, the pastel will go to the glass and if ever the glass breaks . . . plus there are issues of swelling with humidity (or shrinking due to lack of). In his opinion, there is no reason to do this. <br /><br />And then he proceeded to frame my "Il Mimo - Firenze, Italia" with a beautiful frame, museum glass (way reduced glare -- amazing), with thin spacers (acrylic piping inside the frame edge).

She is the Vice President of the APS and does a great job. Thanks for sharing the info as I didn't get to go to the workshop. Hope to see you one of these days.Jo Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411430042547033972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617067506355835944.post-84501192780269161082009-11-03T07:06:02.326+01:002009-11-03T07:06:02.326+01:00Yeah, I have always loved the look of pastels, but...Yeah, I have always loved the look of pastels, but never thought that I would have the patience to ever work with them. <br /><br />You might enjoy this write-up I did when I was tagging along with my new friend and fellow Eugène Carrière junkie Mallory Lake (a pastel artist from Vermont -- and what a cool name she has!).
