MY MOST ASKED QUESTION! - How Do you Protect Pastel Paintings?
Channel: Monet Cafe' with Artist Susan Jenkins
Date: 2023-05-09

By far, my MOST ASKED QUESTION in the comments of my videos is, "How do you protect and store your pastel paintings?" 

I thought it would be a great idea to just bring you into my home studio and give you an up close and personal demo of my process.... from protecting, storing and even how I prep my paintings for shipping to a buyer. 

I hope this is helpful for many budding pastel artists out there, and now I have a video I can share whenever I get this question in the future. 

Please leave me a comment and let me know if you would like more behind the scenes "how to videos". I think many are interested in what it takes to have a full time art business, so feel free to share some topics with me.
