Is there anything more frustrating than accidentally smudging or rubbing a pastel painting or drawing you've worked weeks to perfect? After so much time and effort spent to create your art, it can be disheartening, to say the least, to find out that during storage, or even in between working on it—something has brushed against it. This can apply to graphite and pencil sketches too.
If you need to ensure that there is no rubbing possible, no accidental brushing against another piece, or any damage to the surface of your work, then protection is a must. You could use a fixative to protect your pastels and graphite, but there is an alternative. Glassine and barrier paper!
Canson's Glassine roll features 25 pounds of 36 \" wide and 10 yards long protectant perfect for your sketches, drawings, pastels, illustrations, photography, paintings—any art on the go or at home. Glassine and barrier paper has neutral pH and guaranteed acid-free, and are specifically created to be abrasive-free to safe-guard your creations.
Glassine is often the go-to choice for artists as it also has an anti-static nature, and when removed, very minimal amounts of pastels, graphites, and art mediums are affected, leaving no noticeable alternations in your painting or creation.
When working on location, glassine is also perfect as it is lightweight and easy to transport along with your painting and supplies. For long-term storage without framing protection in the studio, you can place your art in large, flat files with glassine protecting the surfaces.
