This demo shows you the process of dry-mounting this fan-shaped demo painting on a colored back paper with silicone paper. And the poetic title "此心安處是吾鄉," written in the classical right-to-left order, enhancing the traditional feel of the artwork. (Note: the word 處 was missed and I have added it under 安.)
