- In this video I go over how I mount my finished paintings on paper or loose linen to rigid gatorfoam panel. This also works to make quality lightweight plein air panels, adhering oil primed linen to gatorfoam board.

That was sooo helpful and generous. Thank you!
glad to hear!
So helpful!!
glad it was helpful!
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks!
First: Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Can you please spell the second solution at 1min:24: "Bea Foil"?? or "Beaver Foil"??
I could find only find very expensive heat activated glue foil rolls.
May you please share a link for this product?
Thanks for your help!!
The tacking iron is just for tacking the corner of a piece to hold it and the glue sheet in place when it goes into the press - this keeps from accidently getting creases. Most pieces that go into the dry mount press are larger than the press (thus the sides being open) and you usually have to rotate a piece around at least once. For a very large piece, you might need to rotation it several times to get the whole piece dry mounted.
I never knew that, I though it was for mostly strip lining things. A conservator friend of mine showed a much bigger iron he welded a big chunk of aluminum to to save the day. Anyway for larger works I have been looking into vacuum tables, not sure If i can justify one yet though
I like the Centurion all purpose, media panel and then I oil prime it. it’s on an MDF board. It’s the best way to go for me.
I'm sure its good. But I probably could not carry 50 of those in my backpack with the rest of my painting gear
@@patrickokra 50 !!?? 🤪😜
@allenvoss7977 yup. once a bit more once a bit less, on two separate occasions, summer of 2021, spring of 2023. Each trip lasted almost three months and I was painting almost every day
@@patrickokra That makes more sense. I weighed my set up one time with a Raymar panel holder holding three panels I got it down to 45 pounds. Then hiking a couple miles into Colorado mountains can be brutal.
That’s also with the tripod.
Hey, thanks,. Just what I wanted to know. 8m going to Italy. If you got to go back, which would you take? Oil paper or loose cut linen?
Probably loose linen. Cost is becoming less of an issue for me than it used to be, and linen is just a little nicer to work on
Amazing idea, remember me when we do print teeshirts!! Btw, what is the reference of your linen sheets please?? 😇😇
I use claessens linen 9
Could you provide a link for where you buy the gatorfoam 3/16 from? Thank you!

Can you hinge mount a painting to a solid acid free backing?…..similar to what you would do with a watercolor sheet paper?
Probably, have never considered it, as I have never painted with watercolors and am not too familiar with it. At the end of the day, whatever works
Perhaps I’m partial being from NJ originally, but I have to say I love your work. You are certainly following in the footsteps of another great NJ artist George Inness…..we met briefly up at the airport vista during the Sedona Plein Air festival; I tend to do a lot of oil paintings on gessoed sheet canvas or sheet linen, hence my question on hinging….Art by Art ….Weeks that is.
Hello
When did you change from loss oil paper to loss linen for plein air trips? Did you see a difference in drying times when you changed?
Thank you
Recently- first time was last October. drying time is mostly the same
@@patrickokra thank you,I wanted to check that one of the two didn't dry far faster
Thank you sharing your process. I wonder how heat will impact the oil paint. 🤔
Low heat shouldn't impact the oil, although the press will crack a think impasto surface. I have had high heat "burn out" some colors (in college I experimented with baking an oil painting to see if I could speed up drying.)
I have heard of illustrators like Frank Frazetta baking their paintings to dry them overnight when meeting deadlines
Worst thing that can happen is the texture gets a little squished
Hi! What is the reason for using linen cloth over linen board to paint on, if you're then using board to mount? Is it just cost? I just (personally) would find transporting cloth I'd painted back home super annoying and precarious, whereas carrying a painted linen board - or any textured board, is relatively easy and unstressful. Am I missing a glaring advantage? I can only think of weight....but I'd happily forgo that for ease of transport post painting. Cheers!
Yes, as I mentioned it's for weight and size, specifically for when I travel to Europe. I have carried 50 paintings in a normal sized backpack, along with all of my painting gear this way. After they are dry, 50 paintings are barely over an inch thick stacked together. But when they're ready to sell, I mount them to a rigid surface to be able to be framed
@@patrickokra But how do you transport them? That's the bit I'm missing...If they're Oil paintings, they'll be wet. So if the paintings are just on loose canvas (as opposed to mounted or stretched) how do you carry them about?
@obscurazone I have a panel carrier ,and some illustration board and paper clips to which I clip the paintings while still wet, you can see me show it my other video showing what I have im my plein air bag when travellimg
What's the sheet you put over the painting under the press? Are these varnished already? Have you painted over the corners that were clamped if painted en plein air? Thank you!
I paint the corners the same day while I still have the paint in my brushes and palette. I varnish them after mounting, the paper is a silicone coated sheet that comes with the beva film
Thank you
I notice that your paintings go right to the edge, which does not allow for the margin that a frame would cover? Won't the frame hide those edges and isn't that a problem?
It's pretty standard for a 1/4" of the painting be covered by a frame. I try to make sure to avoid putting anything important at the edges
Can you please tell... What is this board that you are using....?🤔
Gatorfoam 3/16”
@@patrickokra Thanks a lot 😊
@@patrickokraAre you concerned that the Gatorfoam is not acid-free?
What is the medium shown in the video?
Oil paint? Or pva glue?
@@patrickokra the gamblin medium and rublev?
