Materials and Care

In my shop you can find art works made by different types of pastel - dry, oil and wax pastel and oil paints.

Pastel artworks are made on paper, oil artworks are made on canvases and wood panels. 

​

I use only professional quality materials, archival paper  and proper prepared canvases and wood panels which means that art works can live forever if they treat well by collectors.

​

For most pastel artworks I am able to offer a minimalistic aluminum IKEA frame with a plastic instead a glass Gold or silver finishes are available. Some dry pastel art are framed with a glass, the frames is white.

Pastel art can be purchased without frame, with mat or not. It's easier to ship.

​

Wax pastel art is not sensitive to touch however do not rub a surface of an art work. 

​

Oil pastel art has a bit oily surface so don't rub a surface of an oil pastel art. 

​

Dry pastel art - careful handling is a must.

​

Oil art - not sensitive to touch, just gentle dust it when it's needed, ready to hang!

​

Pastel art:

Do not touch the painted surface. Putting fingers or other items on top of a pastel work or allowing it to be rubbed or flexed will damage the surface. 

​

I wrap a no frame pastel art  around with a glassine paper, please keep a glassine paper on a work until framing.

​

I usually use standard sizes paper for my art works to frame them easy. So you can buy a standard size frame and do it yourself. It's a good idea to use a mat. 

I provide framing tips, feel free to ask!

​

If you are not sure how to do framing, go to your local frame store.
