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.

    Thank you so much, Jane! This video answered several questions I had. Do you apply a varnish over the surface and the sides?

    thank you SO much Jane-very helpful! I have a ?- do you apply a sealant over your painted/collaged art before gluing it down? I'd be concerned that using alcohol to remove excess paint on the edge might also remove some of the art surface.

    Hi Jane - I was so interested in your suggestion to do the cutting on an exhale... such a great suggestion and not something most people would notice. Your stripes are beautiful. Lately I have been rubbing the edges of cradled boards with a very light coat of cold wax and then buffing it when it is completely dry.

    Looking forward to seeing you in May on Whidbey Is! Maybe I will bring a few of my cold wax pieces to show you...

    Thank you Jane - I Love your work and your instructions - so helpful and inspiring!
    Couple of questions as someone else above had asked:
    1)do you apply a sealant over your painted/collaged art before gluing it down?
    2)do you apply a varnish over the surface and the sides?
    Thank you!

    I usually do varnish the pieces after mounting. I use Golden's UVLS satin varnish, but I am not all that knowledgeable about varnish in general.

    Hi Jane! Did you cut the painting into sections to make mounting easier, or is that how you painted it? I ask because I have a 40"x40" painting on paper I'd like to mount but am afraid it's too big to handle. Have you ever done it larger?

    Hi there.. What types of paper can be collaged on and then affixed to a wood panel? Thanks.

    Hi Jane- Can you explain more about "over hang". Do you mean that the edges of the paper should extend past the panel? Is that then folded down? I would like all edges would need to be flush.

    Thank you for this,

    Nicole
