​Caring for your pastel painting on wood panel 

Tips

  • Do not touch the surface of a pastel. It can be easily smudged or smeared.

    • Use silicone dust blaster to clear dust

  • Do not hang your pastel painting in direct sunlight. 

    • Sunlight will cause fading.

  • Keep the work away from moisture.

    • Do not store it in a moist humid place.

    • Moisture can damage the work & encourage mold growth 

    • Don't hang an original work of art in a bathroom!

  • Never place anything on top of your painting.

    • This can damage a pastel by smearing or leaving an unwanted impression on the surface of the work.

      • Use Glassine paper if storing
