Pastels are usually framed with a mat and spacer so why am I taping the border? I prefer a white mat around my pastel work and normally I would cut a mat and use a spacer to allow pastel particles to fall behind the mat and not ON the mat. But my new studio isn't set up yet and my Fletcher mat cutter is in storage so how to get the look of a mat without cutting a mat? Tape the edges and put the pastel directly against the glass. Scotch #2080 Delicate Surface Painters Tape and Clairefontaine Pastelmat (white) was used for this demo. Click on the title below to see the video.
