@jjade70chueh If you use heavy color, Chinese or western, the best way to mount your painting is dry-mounting, instead of wet-mounting. There is no way to prevent bleeding with wet paste. You can use glue+alum+water(Mingjiao Glue 7 : Alum 3 : Water 15) to seal the paints before mounting as it is done by ongbi artist between each layers of wash to prevent color from bleeding. Have you ever tried silicone dry-mounting paper? I think that is the best solution. Thanks!
Henry, what do you add to the mounting paste, if you are mounting a colored painting, to prevent the colors spread. Because I found out that only is the black ink permanent but not the Chinese paint in the tubes. These Chinese paints are just like western gouache paints, which can be picked up by adding water to it after they dry. That's the same as Chinese paints. Thanks
Glad to hear that. Actually, I have an extra mounting brush, handmade of palm tree fibers like the one I used in the demo, and I may sell it on eBay, will you be interested?
@blueheronarts Sorry Henry I did not realize I was someone else's account for writing the other post below. Anyway, I tried silicone paper, but i cannot do it well to make it flat. I prefer wet mounting method. Do you sell Mingjiao at your store? What's in Mingjiao? Is it made from animal or plant glue? Also when you combine the glue, alum, and water together, do you need to cook the paste the same way as the wet-mounting paste? thanks
@blueheronarts Thanks for reply. yes, I tried silicone dry-mounting paper, but I don't do it well. Wet-mounting seems to be a little better for me. Do you sell Mingjiao at your store? What's mingjio consists of? Is it from animal or plant? Thanks
Hi Henry, could you please explain why you put the nice mounted piggy on the wall at the end? Is it the destination of the painting or just to let it dry? Thanks a lot

You may use a wide Hack Brush for the pasting. It is commonly used in watercolor painting.

@goodxvideoxcreator That was rude! He's a very nice man to show the public how to make these. Kinda interesting work he did.

@cr0ssingpath5 You can find the info in the first half of this series. / watch?v=SwR8_v1PcVo
So that's how its done. Thank you for the informative video.
Do you also sell the wash brush like you used on this video? how much is that? if not, where can i buy one?
Can I ask you a question. What paper do you use for the backing paper?
Wenzhou rice paper roll, or single xuan rice paper.
Hi Henry, could you please explain why you put the nice mounted piggy on the wall at the end? Is it the destination of the painting or just to let it dry? Thanks a lot
Just the place to let it dry and stretch.
I would use Mulberry Paper (see my website for supply). Other rice paper are also OK.
how did you make that mixture you glazed the picture with?
Ive heard fish 🐟 glue
@jjade70chueh Please search Mingjiao on our site.Thanks!
in my country if i gave a pig painting to someone, that person would never speak to me again... :D :))
these cultural differences are amazing...
