Hey Virgil!
WOW! Boy do I have a lot to learn! A couple of comments/questions....
-Referring to Gwenneth's posting, if indeed oils and pastels consist of the same pigments (I'm trusting her on this because I haven't a clue), does the oil or resin in the paint protect the pigment? Are these tests conducted on oils too? I don't use oils yet...just curious.
-Is there glass available at frame shops which protects the piece from harmful light? There are absolutely CLEAR glass sunglasses which protect the eyes from harmful UV rays...is there such a thing existing in the frame world which wouldn't alter the appearance of the picture behind it? I realize that special glass is just a Band-Aid solution, but until there's an uprising in the pastel community, this could be the only solution. I love working with pastels...I'd hate to give them up.
Thank you for your responses here. Is it just ME, or is there not enough discussion here about pastels? I guess I need to post another of mine for critique, because I feel I need the advice, AND I feel that pastels kind of take a back seat to oils sometimes. Thanks again Virgil! Take care...
