Unless requested, initial quotes don’t include framing. It is highly recommended to have your portrait professionally framed to avoid any damage to the pastels. Although we seal all our portraits with professional fixative, pastels are a very soft medium and can still smudge from excessive handling. Here are some framing suggestions:
- We can have your portrait custom framed with Buffalo Picture Frame, our preferred framing provider, starting at $99.
- You can take your portrait to any custom framing provider, but be sure to make them aware these are pastels and need to be framed accordingly.
-
We typically work with 18” x 24” canvas - you can buy a store-bought frame, however you want to be sure the frame has raised glass/spacers. If the glass touches the portrait, it can permanently smudge the pastels and ruin the portrait.
