What is the best way to present colored pencil art work? Is dry mounting ever used?
A. Colored pencil work is almost always glazed under glass or acrylic sheet, then framed with or without a mat, but usually the former. If without a mat, spacers should be used to keep drawing surface from making contact with glazing material. Dry mounting is not recommended for colored pencil artwork regardless of whether done with oil or wax based pencils.
