In this unedited video, I discuss an alternative of framing watercolour art of paper behind glass. I show and chat about how I mount, AKA, "glue" with matte medium, my watercolour paper art to wood panel. I love this process as it takes 15 minutes or less and is one small thing I can do for my art process during a busy day.
Here is my video just prior to this one:

I'm very prolific and I share some of the ways I work on my art in stages so it can fit in with my lifestyle as a full time artist , and busy mother.
Once your watercolour art has been flattened for at least 24 hours after mounting it, you can use an exacto knife to trim around the edges. I also use a handheld fine sander to remove the paper fibres that may have torn with the trimming process. I finish my art with a wax medium such as Dorland's Wax.
