- How To Build and Mount Watercolors onto Custom Panels ( COST EFFECTIVE ). In this video I show how I build and mount my watercolor paintings onto homemade custom wood panels as a cheap contemporary alternative to expensive framing. No Glass, no frames! I also show how I treat my watercolor paintings with a wax finish.

I've been down a rabbit hole this last week learning about this process because i want to start working on huge watercolors. of all the videos ive watched yours is the only that has used MDF and that makes me happy that i can use that option.... because I'm cheap... though it might need more protection against warping, so many things to consider and learn. thanks for the video
Great video. Very creative, and a wonder painting!
Love it

There's mini table saws, too. You don't have a have a big tool shop.

Great tutorial thanks
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Just curious about the last step that you didn’t show: buffing it a day later. How do you accomplish this? Thanks and this was a great tutorial
Hi ... doesn't MDF expand easily with water?
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing. Subscribed 👍
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks for the video. Two questions: What is the point of gesso? Does mdf warp? Mdf is not sealed afaik.
Good questions. MDF does unfortunately warp if it is too big. If it is small, no problem. Applying a gesso creates a protective layer between the paper and the MDF’s surface (your watercolor paper).
Thank you, great video! Gonna make some tomorrow (and use the brad nailer, obviously 😉)
So, in your opinion, what else could be used besides gesso?
Is it okay to use Dorland's wax on acrylic Ben Moore paint? I have some old cigar boxes. I put my watercolor paintings on the lids and sealed them with Dorland's wax. I painted the boxes with Ben Moore acrylic paint and sealed them with Dorland's wax. A month later, they still have a waxy feel to them. Anything I can do so it will feel more dry to the touch?
Is the board also acid-free?
