I wonder why he doesn't mat his pastels. One of the main purposes of a mat is to lift the glass up away from the surface of the pastel, so it doesn't stick to the glass and smear. That's why I always used a double mat: to give the glass that much more distance from the chalk.

I also like the look of visually isolating the artwork that a good-sized mat gave.
