About this artwork
My method of protecting the pastel is to use archival tape and board. The drawing process begins by using acid free tape to secure the paper against a drawing board. When the tape is removed a border is masked off. Border not shown here as I do not consider it part of the image. The border is there merely a handle. When finished I tape the piece down to a board,… then using strips of foam core I build up a window across top/bottom. Glassine paper is the stretched tight over the expanse so nothing contacts the pastel.
