I got to send some art to the 30A crafters market happening in Alys Beach this weekend, adn well, it was a major stepping stone for me in terms of how to present an original watercolor out in the real world.
The art needed to be on an easel outside, so I did some investigating on ways to hang original watercolors…that aren’t behind a glass/plastic frame. Because that’s a pain in the arse for stuff like this.
Man, oh man, do I love how it turned out.
This piece was mounted to a wooden canvas panel that’s about 1.5” deep, then I sealed the heck out of it with UV protectant spray, and finished it with a wax coating.
The result? It brought the colors to life and made this watercolor look like a big ‘ol canvas.
I am so pumped. And am in the process of adding originals mounted to a wooden canvas like this to the shop as quickly as I can.
So, the piece, “Shell Garden” is for sale in Alys Beach this weekend. If you’re in the area, please stop by and check out the art walk. Then the QR code attached to it brings you back to me to buy it :)
