Another great tutorial, I've always loved 'shiny shuttered concrete' !

Hi, thanks for the question.Yes,if you can find a canvas panel that is for watercolour, sounds good!I personally really enjoy the flexibility of working with paints on watercolour paper, so this method (with its risks!) is the one I prefer. Regards, Karen

Hi thanks for your commentYes that's an interesting point, I guess you are thinking a non water based glue from back of painting to middle paper and then gel medium from that to the wood panel board? To be honest I personally haven't had a problem with seepage in the few paintings I have mounted, and find the heavy gel medium is just that - really gloopy and not very watery like regular PVA, so it sits on the surface of my paper (reverse side of painitng) rather than being absorbed.Its all very dependent on weight of paper, how much sizing is in the paper, type of glue, so as I said in my posting - always best to create a test piece first!Many thanks, Karen

thank you

Thank you, KJ.

Great instructable, such fab colours, and I like your use of big bold leaves to create the patterns, works well with such vibrant colours. Good luck in the comp!
