Hi Turan,

The best way to protect the image is to frame it behind glass. If you use acid free paper and quality pastels, then you don’t need to do anything to preserve the work.

Hi Denise,

Pastelmat is quite unique as a surface. It has a fine tooth, but does hold much of the pigment in place. But, it seems it holds that pigment in place after pressure has been placed on it. So, if you are using the dry wash technique, you may have to work some of the pigment into the surface for it to stay in place.

Really love the lessons component of course helps me retain overall concepts! Beautiful painting.
Thank you
