In this video I go over how I mount my finished paintings on paper or loose linen to rigid gatorfoam panel. This also works to make quality lightweight plein air panels, adhering oil primed linen to gatorfoam board.

The tacking iron is just for tacking the corner of a piece to hold it and the glue sheet in place when it goes into the press - this keeps from accidently getting creases. Most pieces that go into the dry mount press are larger than the press (thus the sides being open) and you usually have to rotate a piece around at least once. For a very large piece, you might need to rotation it several times to get the whole piece dry mounted.

Hello When did you change from loss oil paper to loss linen for plein air trips? Did you see a difference in drying times when you changed? Thank you

@allenvoss7977 5 месяцев назад

I like the Centurion all purpose, media panel and then I oil prime it. it’s on an MDF board. It’s the best way to go for me.

@patrickokra 4 месяца назад

I'm sure its good. But I probably could not carry 50 of those in my backpack with the rest of my painting gear

@allenvoss7977 4 месяца назад

@@patrickokra 50 !!?? 🤪😜

@patrickokra 4 месяца назад

@allenvoss7977 yup. once a bit more once a bit less, on two separate occasions, summer of 2021, spring of 2023. Each trip lasted almost three months and I was painting almost every day

@allenvoss7977 4 месяца назад

@@patrickokra That makes more sense. I weighed my set up one time with a Raymar panel holder holding three panels I got it down to 45 pounds. Then hiking a couple miles into Colorado mountains can be brutal.

@allenvoss7977 4 месяца назад

That’s also with the tripod.

Thank you sharing your process. I wonder how heat will impact the oil paint. 🤔

@jamescowgill4039 4 дня назад

Low heat shouldn't impact the oil, although the press will crack a think impasto surface. I have had high heat "burn out" some colors (in college I experimented with baking an oil painting to see if I could speed up drying.)

@ruthbosveld449 Месяц назад

What's the sheet you put over the painting under the press? Are these varnished already? Have you painted over the corners that were clamped if painted en plein air? Thank you!

Amazing idea, remember me when we do print teeshirts!! Btw, what is the reference of your linen sheets please?? 😇😇

Hey, thanks,. Just what I wanted to know. 8m going to Italy. If you got to go back, which would you take? Oil paper or loose cut linen?

@patrickokra 5 месяцев назад

Probably loose linen. Cost is becoming less of an issue for me than it used to be, and linen is just a little nicer to work on

@artweeks6986 4 месяца назад

Can you hinge mount a painting to a solid acid free backing?…..similar to what you would do with a watercolor sheet paper?

@patrickokra 4 месяца назад

Probably, have never considered it, as I have never painted with watercolors and am not too familiar with it. At the end of the day, whatever works

@artweeks6986 4 месяца назад

Perhaps I’m partial being from NJ originally, but I have to say I love your work. You are certainly following in the footsteps of another great NJ artist George Inness…..we met briefly up at the airport vista during the Sedona Plein Air festival; I tend to do a lot of oil paintings on gessoed sheet canvas or sheet linen, hence my question on hinging….Art by Art ….Weeks that is.

Hi! What is the reason for using linen cloth over linen board to paint on, if you're then using board to mount? Is it just cost? I just (personally) would find transporting cloth I'd painted back home super annoying and precarious, whereas carrying a painted linen board - or any textured board, is relatively easy and unstressful. Am I missing a glaring advantage? I can only think of weight....but I'd happily forgo that for ease of transport post painting. Cheers!

@patrickokra 4 месяца назад

Yes, as I mentioned it's for weight and size, specifically for when I travel to Europe. I have carried 50 paintings in a normal sized backpack, along with all of my painting gear this way. After they are dry, 50 paintings are barely over an inch thick stacked together. But when they're ready to sell, I mount them to a rigid surface to be able to be framed

@obscurazone 4 месяца назад

@@patrickokra But how do you transport them? That's the bit I'm missing...If they're Oil paintings, they'll be wet. So if the paintings are just on loose canvas (as opposed to mounted or stretched) how do you carry them about?

@patrickokra 4 месяца назад

@obscurazone I have a panel carrier ,and some illustration board and paper clips to which I clip the paintings while still wet, you can see me show it my other video showing what I have im my plein air bag when travellimg
