I've just started framing and was a bit clueless so this guidance is a big help. Really appreciate you taking the time and effort to make and post this video. The instructions are very clear and helpful.

This is exactly what I needed to know, and it was explained clearly and concisely. Thank you!

This was a really helpful video, thanks. Better than any of the other ones out there. I especially appreciated the little tips/tricks that come from your expertise.

Exactly what I was looking for. Way easier than what I was planning to do. Thank you!

Thank you ver much, this is very informative. I love love the art work.

Thank you for this easy-to-follow demonstration. It was just what I needed.

Thanks for taking the time to watch.

l just stumbled across the video and found it very helpful. Thanks

Even if it is an artist tape for hinge T mounting you should have 1/3 of the tape to the back of the painting using the ample border the artist left for a good reason, never get the tape down on the back of the painting itself. What you did is getting the adhesive on the back beyond the border.

Thank you. My eyes bugged out of my head when I saw that. Lol

Great video!

This is great,, thankyou-- There’s another guy on here who shows you how to glue your art to a board and frame it,,,,, I told him NEVER should you do that with original art work, only posters- He resisted that idea of course.

What a help. Thank you so much

Thank you so much for sharing this!

Thank you so much- what a great tutorial!!! Never knew this!

Thank you . Very informative video !

I thought I recognized her style without even looking!! 😄💗🌷

Very informative. Love the painting.

Thank you for the video!! Helpful & informative. I suppose it's good for a watercolorist to know standard mat sizes, and to confine the painting to the perimeter with some daylight all around, or make the taped watercolor image smaller or same size as the mat opening. This would simplify framing (for DIYers) and still provide a nice look.

Very clear explanation, exactly what I was looking for.

Excellent. Glad we could help.

Excellent video! Thankyou !

Thank you! Good to know the kinds of the tape😊

This was excellent! Thank you so much ☺

I worked in this frame shop. This is a little different than the way we did it when I was there.

Nice. Very instructive. Thanks!

Thank you for this very helpful tutorial.

why do you want to use water on what looks like a watercolor painting? Would that not present some problems in the future if one wished to change the frame. Would photo corners not be a better choice. Thanks, just asking. I am also learning to fame my work and these videos are very helpful

Thankyou so much, wonderful video

Such a beautiful work🌸

THANKS! Your directions and props were totally helpful! I'm trying to place my first project with a 3/8" thick piece of art between a mat and back board (no frame). How do you mount that? Do you have another video? Blessings!

oh wow! I can see where I will improve my mat game!

Very helpful. Thank you.

Great tutorial! Was just wondering how you would approach framing an artwork same as this with the matting but one that is painted on thicker card/ board or panel? Would there be issues regarding the increased thickness of the artwork under the matting? Thanks!

so helpful..where or what do I use for backing?

Very informative. Where did you get the weights? Also, why did you use artist tape for one thing and water activated tape for another. Also, what is the board that is remaining on your table once you are finished matting and ready for framing?

Thank you! ❤

What kind of materials do you use for the back of the art work as mounting?

I appreciated the how-to, very helpful - but I didn't like how much the painting itself got handled. I can only hope it was a print for demonstration purposes, and not an original. :) But thank you for showing how to mount and hinge, I'm going to have a go at it myself.

Okay, intertwined tutorial, but how does the customer put fithigraphy on the wall, or how does it place it on a desk when the bottom can open?

This was so helpful and I love the technique! Please tell me if the tape is permanent? I would like to add my watercolor to a mat and change it out often. Would this technique work or do you have another one that would be better? Thank you for your help.

Given that this is all taped together, I don't think I would pull the painting from this setup because you could damage it. I would suggest doing this procedure for each painting you want to display, and then putting them into and pulling them from a Frame as you wish. It is possible that you could pull the mat to rehinge over and over again to use it for different paintings (taking it apart from the backing with the painting and NOT removing the painting from its backing), but your mat may end up torn. Mats aren't too expensive, so I would just give each painting its own mat and backing. Much easier and quicker to switch in and out of frames that way. But don't remove the painting from the backing or you may rip it since it is taped to the board. Hope that helps.

Is the backing a different materials than tha mat?

Hello. You mentioned using 3 T hinges if you have a wider piece. I have two lithographs that are 23in wide x 30in long. Would you use 3 hinges for something of those dimensions?

Nice tutorial. Thank you. How wide is your brayer?

Hi there, thanks for explaining. I have a question about the back white board. Can you mention the name of it and where I can buy it?

You have the Peel-and-Stick Linen Framer's Tape sitting out but never mention or use it in the tutorial. Would you use it instead of one of the other ones you are using? Thanks for the video!

The peel and stick mounting tape is great for prints, photographs or other material that is similar. The gummed tape that you wet is best for watercolor paper (originals) because the moisture and glue sink into the paper creating a much better bond. The peel and stick does not stick to the watercolor paper very well. Hope this helps!

Yolanda Saborio, this isn't my video. I simply asked a question about linen tape.

Which paper can be used for mounting??

So for the only matted without mounting artwork, is it because some people might not want to frame it?

Can this be framed after?

How do you remove the water activated tape without damaging the artwork with water?

@KarlynsGallery

6 жыл бұрын

We don't actually ever remove the water activated tape. If re-mounting into a new mat needs to happen, the tape is cut with a razor blade being careful not to touch the original. New tape is used when mounting again. I hope this helps!

@@KarlynsGallery That is why you should reverse what you have done, 1/4 to 1/3 of the tape on the back of art work and the rest for the hinge, it will still hold nicely your art work and you will decrease exposing the back of artwork to water and adhesive, the less the better, and when you put the T you need to put one close to the upper edge of the art work like what you did with the first tab, and the second a little further up, that way your artwork can breath and not buckle especially with water paint.

thanks

Which kind of mat are u using

I would not want you to handle my artwork...
