Mounting Original Artwork for Framing

Once you've made the work, you need to display it. Here's a step by step way that I mount works on paper in a mat so that I can frame them. There's definitely some best practices that are useful to know and I demonstrate them here. And, if you ever want to take the work out of the frame or change the mat, you can easily make little slits in the tape and never affect your artwork. You gotta get your work up on the wall!

This is very informative. What do you sign it with? Pen or pencil? Is there a reason you sign the mat and not the picture? Thanks!

[@claudelarsonart]

Pencil. and I sign the back of the work. I don't like to add my signature as part of the composition.
