This is an important topic- artists are under a lot of pressure to offer "museum quality" presentation, but that's not really feasible for the vast majority who typically bear the full cost of framing in each sale. We're all for practical solutions that make it easier for the collector to present, maintain and care for artwork, while still letting the artist afford to eat! Painters do need to be prepared for some alteration of color when coating water media- dark colors deepen, and contrast increases. The technique presented here is irreversible, so it's a permanent decision, but so is painting! We think, due to greater vulnerability and solubility of wax medium, it may be preferable to use a solvent-borne varnish like the ketone-based one shown, or an acrylic solution product like Gamvar or Soluvar. The recommended primer coat for the wood is a great idea to reduce the chance of staining from the panel material, and it provides a good substrate for an acrylic-based adhesive, if you're using acrylic gel. Artists who want a conservation-reversible mounting technique might try a dextrin paste like Yes! glue. Very nice!

Thank you so much for your comment, very much appreciated and explained. 😀

I have been doing this for a few years. Sometimes I add a floating frame designed for canvases. I sell more of them this way! People really love this.

@glowycloey Год назад

Looks so much more modern- and lighter, too!

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Thank you for sharing… great idea 😊

@sharonw2008 Год назад

Where do you get your floating frames from? I'm having trouble finding them xx

@joannberger4812 4 месяца назад

I can't wait to try this framing technique for a series of loose watercolors I am preparing for an opening. Instead of white gesso to seal, another alternative I learned from a Golden representative is to seal with 2 or 3 coats of GAC 100. It keeps the lignins in wood from leaching into the artwork and turning it yellow with time. It also looks nice on the sides of the wood panel since it dries transparent. I believe GAC 100 comes in both satin and gloss. Another way to seal after treating with Kamal varnish (and maybe workable fixative?) is using Polycrylic or pourable medium. I recommend doing experiments prior to trying these techniques on final artwork. The final touches on any painting can go south pretty quickly due to temperature/time of year or mixing mediums that aren't compatible.

@christinelewis5765 Год назад

This is an excellent tutorial, so helpful and well done! One of the main things that keeps me from going back to watercolor instead of oil paint, is the idea of having to frame everything under glass. This is awesome! I will definitely be keeping this in mind.

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

So pleased you found this helpful 😊

@jaanda11 Год назад

I paint acrylic but in a water colour way on paper and have always paid to have them framed under glass. This is a great way to avoid the cost and potential damage which comes with traditional framing. Fabulous 😊

Once again, you’re reading my mind! I’m not the Sue who suggested this but last night I was watching videos on how to attach to cradle boards. I had watched Angela’s video a few times already and watched again last night.

@christinebravomom5711 Год назад

Do NOT skip the white base coat! I painted a bare wood miniature bookshelf years ago, giving it just one coat of white. It looked fine and I was feeling lazy, so I didn't bother with the recommended extra coats. Big Mistake. After just a few years, the white had yellowed. I had similar experience with the long-term damage wood can do with the edges of a lithograph I was given. Over time, the edges of the paper darkened. I realized the inside edge of the frame had never been sealed, so the acid in the wood was leaching into the paper.

@parisasun2541 Год назад

The best tutorial I have seen ! Very clear, step by step with clear product labels. ( what I did not know was the wax. Amazing! I can’t believe I did not think about it before ! Very helpful because I have started to use canvas bc of framing cost. ( however canvas had become so expensive!) but I love painting in watercolor! This encourages me to go back to this medium! A huge help! And will try first on a smaller board. Thank you so much !

@rosasadler1084 Год назад

@elizabethhumphrey9055 Год назад

I have used this similar technique to attach paintings to backer board and then apply cold wax. I then have a wood frame with a groove inside so I slip the backed painting into the frame. Easy to change out your paintings this way

Oh great idea. I have some abstract watercolours needing framing, and this looks like a perfect solution for a contemporary finish.

I think I’d paint the sides as well just for a more finished look. But I love this idea. I used to work in an art gallery in the 70’s and we made these frames for posters and called them versa-frames.

@francinetjones1814 Год назад

Karen, love this technique and use it quite often. Here's a tip for you. In order to protect the sides of the panel, tape off with wide blue painter's tape (think my panels are a little deeper) and that way no worry if something goes over the edges. Whala when done - clean edges!

@caroleblaney3157 Год назад

Good demonstration! I've done a similar process, but just used a couple of coats of Dorlands wax, no varnish. They buffed up beautifully and have held up well. Someone asked if wax finish held up in the southern part of the US. I did some in Wisconsin, then moved to North Carolina. So far, so good. I would think that in modern air conditioning, out of direct sunlight, that they will be fine.

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Thank you so much for sharing that Carole, very helpful practical advice 🎨

@tradingpostfarms Год назад

I really like that. I know I should paint in standard sizes but I just don't. I paint on everything, including scraps and often times it's those loose free paintings on the back of a failed painting, or half a failed painting that are my favorite work. So I'm guessing cheap wood panels in odd sizes will be more affordable than full frames in an odd size worthy of an of original piece.

@larkspin Год назад

This is great! I've always wondered if you could do something like this with watercolors. I think the sides should be painted a dark color to not distract from the painting. Also your could do this, then place in a floater frame and the watercolor surface would be protected. Thank you for the tutorial and the supply list!!

@gclepine Год назад

I love this technique and will be trying it on a painting soon. The only thing I would add would be to cover the bare wood on the sides with some paint, perhaps white or a darker color. Thank you for such a great idea for an alternative to framing for a watercolor painting. This will be so much easier and and less expensive for paintings that I do not want to invest the money into by paying a professional framer to do the job.

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Thank you Gail, great tip 😊

@karenfinneganart2480 Год назад

I have used this but have stained the wood before mounting the painting and have cut the painting an inch smaller than the wood frame so that the painting has a beautiful wood framing around it. Just another suggestion I thought you might like. I do have photos but they can't be uploaded here

I highly recommend covering the sides of the wood panel with tape first , and pull the tape off after all steps so the sides remain clean.

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Great suggestion 😊

@jillmcginn6965 Год назад

You said the picture doesn't need framing, but the sides of the panel are partially covered by gesso, even though you sanded them. How could this be ready for hanging when the panel sides have no finish or covering?

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Hi Jill, you could paint the sides with some acrylic paint. I think a few viewers have suggested this great idea in the comments.

@beverlypeterson1416 Год назад

Thank you for this; I think I'll try it. I also watched Angela's video (have followed her for years) and she sprayed her painting with the Kamar varnish first which seems like a good idea to protect the painting ahead of the trimming and gluing. I suppose you could do one or two light sprays at the start, then add another before waxing? Would be interested to hear if anyone has tried that. I haven't used Kamar before but a friend told me I should use it to seal a watercolor I did on Yupo. OK, time to get busy! Thanks again, and I want to paint the sheep, too!

@junebabin779 Год назад

I love this way of finishing my watercolors.consider this however,I read somewhere that this process changes your work to be considered mixed media and not watercolor if entering piece in an art contest.

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

I would enter it as a watercolour and state how it’s varnished.

@ineseedwards9489 Год назад

That’s fantastic - thank you 😊💜 did you subsequently paint the exposed edges of the panel - eg with white acrylic paint or some other suitable colour ?

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Yes I did, thank you 😀

@Shilo2020 Год назад
