Video Description:
I am a watercolor artist and plein air painter. I love painting watercolors en plein air during events, but one problem was always the framing.
I hated framing with glass for two main reasons:
1. With the glare of the glass, I felt that my paintings were at a disadvantage compared to the more numerous oil paintings I was competing with.
2. Also, framing on the road was a huge pain. Glass could brake and it was so hard to keep dust out while framing.
So, I began researching ways to frame watercolors without glass and experimenting to find the methods that best suited my needs. This is the first video in a 3 part series of tutorial videos where I demonstrate what I have learned about framing watercolors without glass. These are the titles of the 3 videos:
1. Preparing watercolor paintings to be framed
2. Making watercolor panels for painting directly on
3. Methods for varnishing and framing
During this first video (Preparing Watercolor Paintings), I will show you how to adhere paintings to gatorboard. This is a necessary step before varnishing the watercolor painting. Below are links for some of the materials I used during this video:
