My father made french mats for major art galleries in New York and Washington DC from the 1940's to the 1960's. It was interesting to see commonalities and differences your methods showed with his methods of making mats. He would supply galleries with samples of french mat designs (many using tinted mat board whose color he needed to match when mixing additional watercolor for tinting mat board) and duplicated the samples to the custom size of the mat.

Thank you this video is very informative and very well paced to understand each step. I can’t wait to try acrylics for making lines. Also the mounting of the strips are genius.
I watched this video with great interest ... I was a Picture framer in England for 40 years ( I now live in USA ) ... But yes I did find two or three of your ideas interesting .,. I like the idea of using acrylic as it is waterproof for your wash lines ... I really like your use of the marking gauge to mark out mats (mounts )... I used a pair of compasses .. I can find plenty of marking gaudges ... But have yet to find one with measurements on it ... CAN U TELL ME THE MAKE OF YOURS AND WHERE I MIGHT PURCHASE ONE ??? ... Also while I used a bowed pen for lining ... It did not have an numbered adjustment wheel ... I would be interested where i could get one of those ??? .. Great VIDEO ... Tanking you in advance .. I have subscribed to your page ...
i don't think u will get an answer to ur questions as the vid was actually made in the 1980's...clue is in dress and extra large glasses...unfortunately in this computer age the tools she uses may no longer b available. Or at least very difficult to find. If you do find one maybe u can post back and let the rest of know...i will do same :)

Thank you Ursula, I've always wanted to learn this and was afraid it was a lost art!

The ruling pens with measurement adjuster knob are available from lionpic picture framing supplies in the UK. lionpic.co.uk
@@redinabloogs8477 you could always set the pen with fealer gauges
Where can I find this marked adjustable ruling pen? Mine doesn’t have the markings.
Superb thank you so much
Where can I find mat board that’s 3 yards long? Anyone? 🙏
