[Aquanet] Watercolour painting with no glass

[Valerie Kent]

Hi Peter and Lorraine
  One problem is that most shows as far as I know do not accept this type of framing for watercolours.  What do you say?  Valerie Kent

  Lorraine,  This is interesting.  Appreciate if you could provide some details, e.g.  Any kind of paper?  What type of varnish?  How many coats?  How do you attach the painting to the panel?  Any problems?  thanks,  Peter Parker

Dear Aquanetters

I made some paintings that are watercolour with no glass, these are painted
on wc paper but coated with special varnish products that are flexible, UV
protection. The wc is then marouflé ¯n a acid free panel then framed like an 
oil painting. My husband (age 70) likes this new presentation, my daughter
(age 30) prefers the "classical" presentation with no varnish , with mats
and glass. I've done lots of research ( approx 18 months) and consultations 
to find and experiment the right and long conservation term products.

Comparing the two ways :

1) No glass : I like the results but since it is a new way of looking at a
wc, some adaptation must be done on my part to get accustomed . Frames are 
less expensive and you can make a bigger painting fit in the same frame
because marie-louise is more narrow. Exemple : in a former classical frame
meant for 15 x 21 wc , you are able to fit almost a 18 x 24 inches. 

2) No glass : the finition takes much longer , so the less expensive cost
for framing is spent on my professional time to do the finition.

Conclusion : I will do both kinds of presentation.

Have a new wonderful year, full of enchanting colors and projects for 2008 !
