Mounting on Wood Panel
Mounting on Wood Panel
I already did one video tutorial on mounting works on paper to wood panel, but that was quite a while ago, so I thought it time for an update. In this video I start by showing you how I mount the stripes, in sections, to the 12"x36" panels. Then I show you the next steps - cutting off the overhang, and painting the edges - on a smaller piece.
I always cut my substrate paper a quarter inch larger than the panel on which it is to be mounted so that there is a bit of overhang. The 12" stripes are cut to 12.25"; my 8"x8" pieces begin as 8.25"x8.25". If you leave more than a quarter inch, the cut-off can interfere with your composition. I use PVA glue for mounting. Some artists use acrylic gel medium.

Everyone loves something with their own initials on it.
Here's how I did it:
