MY FIRST FLOATER FRAME:

IMAGE AND TEXT ARE BOTH COPYRIGHT PROTECTED


Saw a Painting in a floater-frame not long ago on wall in Dr.'s office and loved the look. Soooooo, this is my very first Watercolor, mounted on Canvas, Varnished, and mounted in Floater Frame. Love the simplicity and very contemporary look.

BACK AND SIDES OF STRETCHED WATERCOLOR ON CANVAS:



Here is back and side image of what my stretched Watercolors look like over Canvas. A second reason why I stretch over canvas, besides strength, is neat clean lines: no staples, no folded corner. Just the way I like them.

Currently I am stretching some of my older Paintings that have never been framed, and therefore, never shown. So they are almost all on 140 lbs. Arches Cold Press. But am going to try stretching some raw 156 lb. and raw 300 lb. very soon, so that I'll know what I'll face prior to stretching this weight Of Painting. Will let you know further how these come out once they are finished.

ANOTHER USE FOR MY MOUNTED 12X12'S . . .

IMAGE AND TEXT ARE BOTH COPYRIGHT PROTECTED



I had scaned a few of my Original Watercolors mounted onto 12x12's Canvas before shipping them as they sold, and decided to do a Giclee print onto Cavas and see how well it turned out. The results were great. Love it! The Giclee even shows the wonderful texture of the watercolor paper, which I love, and since this is Pigmented Ink, it will not fade from UV or run from Moisture either.
