Hey what color you use on canvas for selling?

@BlaizC 7 лет назад

You probably saw the video, but Annemarie said for paintings that you send to another country, if you write "original art made by the artist" in the section where you have to declare the value for customs, the person you're sending the art to won't have to pay customs fees. I'd love to see the back of one of your finished paintings, Deby. I bet they also look neat. Mine are better when I remember to tape them before pouring, but the ones where I've forgotten, the backs are terrible messes!

@AcrylicPouring 7 лет назад

I admit sometimes I tape and sometimes I don't. I really quite like the backs to be 'natural' sometimes and I'm quite a tidy painter so they don't get too messy. I've still yet to find the ideal way to finish the back with a dust sheet and still keep the hanging hardware on the inside of the frame, as required for galleries. I'll work it out one day!

@Kaitlyn_B97 2 года назад

Thank you so much for making this video. A dear friends mother painted as a hobby. She passed away a few years ago. And her daughter, my friend, did not get the chance to have one of her paintings. So through a few text messages, phone calls, and pulling on some Heartstrings. I was able to get my hands on one. Her husband asked me to give it to her on her birthday. I'm not sure if I'm going to mail it or hand deliver it. But in either case it needs to be securely packaged. I watched a couple videos. And I like this one in particular because you're making it yourself. She will see the care and effort that I put in securing this priceless painting. Thanks again. ❤

It's really not that difficult to do. Especially if you take your time, I was rushing a bit for the video but they usually come out nice and neat. No damage in transit so far, but of course its only lightweight packaging so if someone threw something really sharp or heavy on it, who knows. Good luck :-)

@FEARLESSME-JoPaddy- 7 лет назад

Thumbs up and a very good way to make sure the painting is secured and not bouncing around inside a box that you bought at the store! Question... Do you put a business card or something in with your painting a flyer Maybe?

@AcrylicPouring 7 лет назад

Yes, I print off a 'card' on 4x6 photo paper, just with a few nice images of my paintings, a thank you message and the URL for my store so they can leave feedback or buy more art :-)

@AnnOsborne 6 лет назад

Have you ever had one damaged? I wrap mine in freezer paper and then bubble wrap over that (it doesn't touch the painting) and then sandwich it between cardboard and then put it in a mailing box. Wonder if I'm over-doing it? This would be a lot lighter for shipping costs.

@AcrylicPouring 6 лет назад

So far so good on them, but I usually only ship up to 12x12 inches. I think if it was larger, I would double layer the foam and maybe put a piece of cardboard between the layers just for extra dent protection.

@AnnOsborne 6 лет назад

@NicoleEivissa 4 года назад

I love the video! Very helpful! And your (probably:) British accent💕 I see you are wrapping classic canvas, but what about board canvas, those slim ones? I think it should be enough to use the tissue paper and over it a bubble wrap and put into the book box mentioned in the video (I love them). Or any other method? I want to ship just the tiny ones board canvas paintings:)

@IAMGiftbearer 7 лет назад

Great video! I was kind of reluctant to mail things in handmade boxes because I didn't know if the postal service or certain countries would accept it. If you've been sending these all around the world then I guess they must not be that strict as I thought they would be.

@AcrylicPouring 7 лет назад

It should be fine. The brown paper on the outside and the good quality tape make it look suitable for mailing. Avoid using staples because my post office won't accept those.

@nitsankoala1711 2 года назад

It’s tissue paper as same as crepe paper ? 🧐

@lorehandcreations1002 7 лет назад

I just make my own box out of the foam board, wrap the painting in butchers paper and use blocks to wedge it into the homemade box, put the top on and tape it all down. But I do like this idea. Thanks for the video.

@AcrylicPouring 7 лет назад

So the blocks stop the painting from bumping about loosely inside the box? And protect the corners I guess too. Nice idea.

@vjoy711 7 лет назад

I like the idea of using freezer paper so it doesn't stick to the painting in any way.

@AcrylicPouring 7 лет назад

That's a good idea. Then perhaps the tissue on the outside so it looks nice :-)

@lorehandcreations1002 7 лет назад

they sure do. They keep the painting and the corners safe.

@lorehandcreations1002 7 лет назад

I sort of discovered it by accident but it works, if you put the shiny side down.

@brefosdex 7 лет назад

nope, that tissue paper will transfer all the color to the corners of your painting and on rough surfaces and as the bubble wrap, it will stick to your acrylic painting, glassine is the only choice

@AcrylicPouring 7 лет назад

Thanks for the feedback. I have tested it extensively with practice canvases and never had a problem so far. I just unwrapped one yesterday that I had wrapped 2 months ago and left in a really hot sunny place. All was well. I've tried wetting the brown paper too, as if it had been rained on, and nothing came through. But this is, as always, a suggestion based on my own experience. Not a rule. Everyone has to decide on the best way for them.
