Oh my goodness, thank you for the taping tip! I've been using double sided tape this entire time on the back of my artwork when I mat my sold pieces! This way makes so much sense especially since like you said, people may want to change out the mat-and it looks a lot easier than how I’ve been taping. Always love your videos! 🥰Here in the US I have purchased the mat kits by Golden State Art on Amazon that includes the mat, backing board and clear bags…

In the thumbnail photo, top left, most of those paint pans are Japanese Kuretake “art nouveau” set. They are beautiful and are more opaque like gouache compared to watercolour.

Hello Allison...your Art work is stunning. Can you tell me the kind of tape you used for matting your art work? I think I missed that part in the video. Thank you ❤
@allisondawrant2 күн бұрын
The tape I was using turned out to be too strong of an adhesive. I'll comment when I come across the tape that was given with my mat kit. They sent me the tape for free with my order, so I can't recall the brand.

Uppercase is a rich and great magazine. Very good tip for framing a piece! I will be using your method for sure. My problem is to get a straight framing with the top and the mat. I can’t get neat borders… 😅 Would you have a trick for that, please? Merci 😊
@allisondawrant3 күн бұрын
Thankyou- the only way I can get neat borders is by using a precut foam core mat- instead of the cardboard. Is that what you mean? Or do you mean borders of your artwork inside the mat opening?
@louloufabrique3 күн бұрын
@@allisondawrant Neither of those, I am talking about the exterior borders of the core mat and the opened mat. I use double sided tape to fix them together. Do you use glue or double sided tape to fix them together?

Now THIS is my idea of collage. Not just sticking various leftover pieces of paper willy-nilly all over the paper. A collage, in my mind, should represent something, not be just a hodgepodge of jumbled papers which many seem to think is collage. Thank you for reaffirming my beliefs.

I make the “jumbled paper” type of collage and that is like abstract art. If you know anything about abstract art, you would understand.
@rachellee.93894 күн бұрын
@@LynnLBE LOL, if you do just throw all your leftover paper into a jumble, then my reply applies to you. However, if you carefully curate your pieces in how they go together, then you should not be triggered by my beliefs. BTW, abstract art means something, even if it's only in the mind of the viewer.

Right now it’s 1:40 am and I’m watching you to relax. I’ve been inspired once again to practice art poetry, to let the colors run, and to revise as I go. That third work really “speaks” to me as well. That shimmery one in your sketchbook is absolutely stunning! LOVEIt. 🤩 (And the sneak peak at the following page as well!) lol.
