Hi Jonathan, Youcan use the wooden backing board but I would seal it to prevent any chemicals leaching out into your pastel painitng and causing discolouration or other problems down the track. Gac100 from Golden or a gloss medium can both be used as sealers. Of course it it's not a precious painting and you aren't worried about future deterioration just go ahead and use the wooden board without sealing. :)

Thank you so much for your tutorial it is very helpful. "Pastel paintings need to be framed behind glass to avoid accidental smudges and damage. ... Do not use cheap acrylic sheets or plexiglass as it can cause an electric charge (static) that will pull the pastel off the paper." Is that true? Have you ever tried using plexiglass for soft pastels? Just wanted to know. Because I want to ship one of my painting they asked me to frame it. I'm little afraid to ship real glass painting. Can you please share your experience?
@LindyWhittonStudio

You can frame behind plexiglass BUT it is definitely more problematic and if I did do it I would frame it right against the plexiglass with no mat or spacer and then tape seal all edges to prevent moisture getting in. There is also a problem because the plexiglass scratches so easily. I've shipped real glass by padding very well with foam sheets and then a rigid board.

The glass has no problem with acid, it's the mat and the back that must be acid free. What I would like to know is what to do if there is dust from the pastel work on the glass?? Need to be reframed? do you use fixative and if so, what do you use?
@LindyWhittonStudio
4 жыл бұрын
I don't use fixative but a good tip is to place your painitng flat on a table cover with glasine paper ( or any slippery paper) and roll over firmly with a rolling pin. It will transfer a pale image to the paper which is the loose dust , but won't dull or otherwise change your painting. If there's dust on the glass I just open , clean and retape. I always check the glass for dust carefully before I tape. ONce it's taped I rarely have problems with dust falling off as the painting is hanging on the wall. When I transport to a gallery I lay flat on it's back so as to not dislodge any dust.

Hello LindyWhittonStudio. First, I love your painting, it's absolutly beautiful, and you take the time to explain well how to frame in a good and in a more economic way. If I had not done it myself, I can say that I would now know thanks to you. That's also the way I framed a few pastel. Have you not had a problem of the pastel paper buckling because of taping the full top? I have one with Canson Mi-Teinte that buckled. Doing some research, I found in a professional government archive website that to avoid that, which is caused by changes of temperature and humidity, it is preferable to use hinges, like one near each end of the top and if it's a big picture, it might need a third one in the middle. They also suggest the little pockets at the bottom corners, making sure to have a little gap in them so the paper can expand downward as well without being stopped by the pocket. It gives chance for the paper to expand by not being trapped. What would be your thought about that, if you have time to answer of course?
@LindyWhittonStudio
7 жыл бұрын
Sorry it's taken me so long to reply. I haven't had any issues with buckling and I've framed a lot of paintings , many have been on my walls for years with no problem. I do understand that it's recommended to hinge paintings instead of taping all around and I do this on larger paintings- I am worried about the hinge coming loose so I always double hinge at the top if that's the way I decide to frame. I live on an island with little in the way of large temperature changes or humidity so it's not a big problem here. Thanks for your comments:)

Sorry, that was my turn to be very busy but at last I'm free again. Thanks for your reply and I can understand why. You're so lucky, as where I live, in Canada, we get Artic cold in winter (-20C to -35C in the morning for a while) with as little as 30% humidity and sometimes it can be around +3C and 50% humidity or more. In the summer time, we get tropical temperature coming from the Gulf of Mexico (can reach 28 to 35C in the hottest time) humidity in the morning can be as high as 90% in part of July. So we can see how we have different technique according to where we live. It's good to share this as it can help others. Thank you again for your video.

Turning the painting upside down removes some pastel dust so you should do every step without turning the frame upside down. It's really hard and you'll have figure how to do it but its possible. Or you could do one knock on back of the paiting before adding the mat and frames to remove excess dust. Good luck!
@LindyWhittonStudio
6 жыл бұрын
I generally do just what you said there- one big knock on the back to dislodge any dust then I stand the frame upright leaning against a wall to add the mat and painting then tape it upright. It was too difficult to film that way. Having said that when you use the grit paper it does hold quite well. My son transported a painting for me once and put it painting side down in the car!! 45 mins later there was no dust on the mat!
@xxxyyy1880

I personally like a pastel against the glass without the mat. There might be problems in really humid environment but making the back air tight should solve the issue. I just reworked a pastel painting that had been against the glass and there was suprisingly little dust in the glass even thought i do not use final fixative layer. But then you should get the correct size frame before hand and measure the area in the paper. When its done - just cut the paper to correct size and lay against the glass. Add back paper, board and seal. If one wants to be 100% certain you could seal glass+paper+backboard together before adding the frames and then seal back again.

I have been involved with the picture framing business so I haven't see your way of framing. All our frames are made to measure all materials acid free even the backing tape too . I did like your pastel painting and you have many skills in painting. We call mats mounts in England And we deal with a lot of top artists that came into our workshop. My farther was a master cart man and yes he was the best in the business and handed that down to the family. We always used special strong core and D rings too. I myself like to fix my pastel painting and people like them too.

Nice to hear from you Linda. It's great to get my pastels custom framed but it can be quite expensive so I've gotten used to having custom frames and glass cut and then doing the actual framing myself. I also like to be able to adjust the painting in the mount as i go if I need to. if you want to keep your painting without damage you do need acid free everything. Fixing pastels is personal preference and I prefer them without. But I do use sanded paper so it takes many layers without needing fixing. :)
