No one is watching over my shoulder, either - I'm on my own! The pastel painters I know say NEVER use fixative!!! As for framing - you frame a pastel under glass - use a spacer between the painting and the mat so any dust falls inside the mat - a reputable framer will know this and be able to do it properly for you. For now, I've got wax paper in between mine, laying them flat. debwardarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05225105239355671724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248783390421236582.post-17514299807520746832012-12-27T17:08:19.770-05:002012-12-27T17:08:19.770-05:00Hello Deb
