As an artist working with watercolor and acrylic paints, I've been searching for a framing solution that maintains quality and consistency across all my artwork, while also adding to its presentation and value. The option of framing watercolor paintings without glass or plexiglass is particularly appealing to me. It's worth noting that not all competitions and galleries recognize or allow this as a viable option yet.

This is amazing. I had no idea you could do this with a watercolor.

Lovely painting and very thorough instructions. One thing I would suggest though and believe me I'm no expert on this. The surface of the painting should not stick out so much from the floater frame. Ideally it should be flush with the surface of the floater frame. If you used thinner velcro maybe to prevent that from happening?

I think this is a brilliant way to show off a painting. Offcuts could also be used for bookmarks.

For all abroad from US or Great Britain: I used "Renaissance Micro-crystalline Wax polish". It is easier to get in Germany than Dorlands or other wax mediums. It smells not very good, but this odeur is gone after a few minutes. I work outside with it, because of the smell. And I tried to do the same to a cheap canvas paneel. It worked as well. But you need to put paper or other material underneath the back of the canvas to fill the space. Then put old books or something heavy on it. Same process like you did for 24 hours. It will work for smaller paintings like 20x20 cm.

I sanded and spray painted the edges with a satin finish paint for wood. Two coats before mounting the painting.

Thank you Karen for this excellent tutorial and the detailed list of supplies you used in the framing process. Indeed, in the past couple of years I watched the video that Angela Fehr did on the framing process. She has one on how to cut a mat to frame a painting as well. It is nice of you to acknowledge her, however it would be also nice to tag her somehow so that she is aware that you referenced her in your video. You are both fantastic artists and I love your art and tutorials.

Great tutorial, just a suggestion. I would turn the painting over after you apply it to the wooden frame, then place the weights on the back of the painting, even some weights inside the frame, because it is hallowed in the middle, the weights may make it saggy.

ooh i need to do this next year when entering the local gallery show, would be a lot cheaper than framing something 😀

This is great ❤️👍 I was wondering how to mount the paper onto another surface to sell or display and then this tutorial came along. ❤️ Although my paintings are not at the sell/display quality... Yet. It's good to know for future reference.
