@TracieReed 2 года назад

@@rocdcart The paper is just craft paper so not sure how thick. The wire is a braided wire that holds up to 30lbs.

For those wondering where the signature is, it’s on the back of the canvas and I also initialed the side with the two digit year. I didn’t get to show the signature sticker I also put on the back above the wire. Had that made on a cricut.

The interior designer that buys 90 percent of my paintings prefers no backing just likes no paint on the backs. I have helped him with some projects and he likes command hangers... anyway I do tape my backs before I do a painting and pull it off when I am through and the paint starts the drying process.. have a good one and cya tomorrow live

@TracieReed 4 года назад

Marci, I still sign the inside, but considering I put a backing on it I also sign the side with my initials and 2 digit year. I am also considering getting some classy looking stickers to apply to the back as well that I would have a space to sign in. The one in the video, I had a sticker made on a cricut that was my signature, so there is that option as well :) ( I didn't apply that sticker until after the video was made, it came out really cool)

Good information. Do you have a video on varnishing your picture?

@TracieReed 4 года назад

Not yet :) Its in the plans though

@sw-cb5rd 4 года назад

Great info, thanks! How do you apply the varnish?

@TracieReed 4 года назад

There are several different ways to apply varnish. One way is to use a spray varnish. I use Winsor & Newton Professional gloss varnish. It's super easy to apply and protects you painting really well. I usually apply 3 coats. I like texture so for me, this spray varnish does the job. I also use Liquitex gloss varnish. Which is what i used to seal this particular painting with. It is also easy to apply. I use a foam brush and spread in on in light coats. I usually apply 2-3 coats. It works well and I like the results. Then , there is resin. I have a love/hate relationship with resin 😆. I use this the least of the three methods. I do love the look, but hate the odor. You definitely have to wear some kind of mask. I made the mistake of not wearing one the very first time I used it. That was a major mistake. I was sick for several days. So just make sure take extra precaution when using resin. You have to mix it up and work sort of quickly or it will start to harden. With most resins, you have about 30 minute work time. When I do use resin, I just apply it with my hands. Of course be sure to wear gloves. It is quite messy lol. Resin is self leveling. It will fill in any cracks or cover any little bumps you may have in your painting. I usually apply two coats. No matter which method I use, I always cover my my paintings with something to protect them from any dust that may be floating around. I hope this is helpful. Just let me know if you have any more questions. 😊

Hi Tracy!!this is so so very helpful!! Thank you for sharing you tricks of the trade and your talent as well!! I have a question about the varnish- do you use a brush or how do u avoid brush marks ? I have heard of a hake brush but found what I thought was pretty close at Michael’s. I have 2 coats of varnish down so far and just curious what you use !! Thank you in advance !!❤

@TracieReed Год назад

Hi Kristin.I'm so happy my video was helpful. When I varnish, I do it one of two ways. I either just pour the varnish on and tilt until the painting is covered. Or I use a lint free cloth or very soft t shirt.

@kristincassaday Год назад

@@TracieReed hi Tracy ! Thank you so much for your help!!! When you say you pour it on and tilt - are you referring to resin or like the liquitex gloss varnish ?

@ChineseNewYear2-19 3 года назад

Can stretched canvas be glued to hard surfaces as a backing instead of paper?

@TracieReed 3 года назад

Ricky Pang yes. I suppose it could.

@retiredlivingthedream 8 дней назад

Very nice, and helpful. However, I am just wondering why you don't just trace around the paining on the brown paper and then simply cut slightly inside the trace lines with an razor knife and straight edge? Also, that masking tape will surely release and start falling off after a few months, if not sooner. So why not just install the double-sided tape onto the entire perimeter of the of the frame and then press the brown paper to it, thus sealing the entire perimeter without then having to use masking tape? I'm not trying to sound snarky, I am just wondering if there are reasons for those things not working that you do it the way you demonstrate in the video. Thanks for a great video!

@TracieReed 8 дней назад

Thank you. I do it this way because those other ways just don't work for me. Not every way works for everyone. In my experience, when using the double sided tape, the craft paper will lift eventually. When using the masking tape, it looks more professional with a cleaner edge. No lifting.

@TracieReed Год назад

I use a couple different varnishes. Liquitex, Tri-Art Liquid Glass or Windsor & Newton.

@AngelaHolmesArt Год назад

You haven't put a name logo stamp on the paper? If doing so it should be done before applying paper ..👍

@TracieReed Год назад

Right. Not everyone uses a stamp on the back so, I didn't mention it. And you can absolutely put it on before or after.

@KpxUrz5745 Год назад

Well I must say that the back ends up looking nice and neat. However, I have always found that sticky adhesives, whether final tape or double-sided tape, always cause problems later when they age. And at that point one regrets that they were ever used.

@TracieReed Год назад

Than you. I had trouble with double sided tape. It's terrible. That's why I use brown masking tape. I haven't ever had any trouble with it and don't regret using it.

@KpxUrz5745 Год назад

@@TracieReed I have seen that all masking tape has a rather short lifespan after use. If we are lucky it later just gets brittle and pops off. If not so lucky, it gets extremely sticky and causes quite a mess on the back of the frame, to struggle with. I encounter hundreds of nearly vintage age pictures like this, mostly to reclaim frames and glass, but occasionally the art is worth saving. But I will agree that the most unpleasant thing to encounter is doublesided tape which is pretty impossible to deal with later. It also generally ruins mat boards and even art on paper which some framers adhere to the mat with doublesided tape. For the most part, my method of attaching kraft paper to the back is done with kraft paper tape which must be moistened. I find that these days it is becoming harder to find old-fashioned paper tape because most tapes use adhesive. Each art piece has its own purpose. If framing a work on paper with a quasi-conservation goal, I will always avoid adhesive tapes. So mostly it depends on the value of the artwork, and its intended buyer or collector.
