What if no one cares about my art?
What if I can never be as good at art as I dream of being?
These two questions were HARD questions to face in my art practice, but they also brought me to a place of freedom and radical self-expression that I couldn't have found with going to that place of rejection and discouragement.
I believe that what happens in your head is going to impact what comes out of your paintbrush. That's why I'm 100% committed to teaching artist mindset in my brand new school, The Heart-Led Artist. Sign up for the November intake of the Heart-Led Artist Pathway now at heartledartist.com

![How-To: Mounting Watercolor on Wood Panel (2024 UPDATE)
I first posted a tutorial on how to mount a watercolor painting on a birch panel back in 2016, and its become a much more widespread practice in the past few years. My process for mounting a painting on panel has changed a bit over the years, so I can ensure a better outcome, and Im sharing those changes in this video.
Supplies Needed: (When you purchase using these links, I get a small commission. Thank you!)
Gesso or Primer: I use this super primer https://amzn.to/3WFywUj
Golden Extra Heavy Gel Medium [Scroll down the list to select the size you want]: http://bit.ly/2ghLfc6
Krylon Kamar Varnish Spray: http://bit.ly/2fS7XqM
Dorland Wax Medium: http://bit.ly/2ghPFje
Wood Panel slightly smaller than your painting
Sharp knife for trimming the edges, sandpaper for smoothing
Brushes for applying the medium
Lint free cloth for applying wax and buffing
I find this method works best on 140 lb paper, as thicker paper might not adhere as evenly to the panel.
