How to Frame Pastels like a Pro

How to frame pastel paintings like a professional framer. This is the archival process for framing pastels so they are secure and will last as long as possible. This is how to frame pastels without a mat, I feel that this makes it look more like a painting and I prefer the more modern look.

Materials:
Wood Frame
Glass
Econospace - instead of a mat.

I never thought I could frame pastel artwork without Matt board. I have heaps of unframed pieces because of the expense involved. Your method is very interesting. I might give it a try.

Holy crud Guenevere you just helped me understand this so well. I have needed this info for years. You are a life saver

[Windles]

Thank you Guinevere. This was the most useful framing video for Pastel, that I’ve seen 😊

[hedgewitch]

And it works well. I'd paid for expensive framing for years to avoid dust in the matts but tried this with perspex instead. It seems to hold the pastel in place better and is cheaper and lighter. No more expensive framing bills. :-)

This just inspired me to do a pastel painting for a few hours! That is more than I have painted with pastel in 8 years. I kinda gave up for a while when I couldn't figure out how to finalize them for show. Great video!
