    Thank you so much for this information and demonstration! I have several extra of these wood panels that I used for mosaics and now I have the perfect use for them! You always have the most clear explanations in your videos!

    This was such a helpful tutorial. I love understanding the thinking and processes, of what didn't work and why, and the solutions you came up with. It was great, thank you.

    Susan, I use D rings and wire, but I put my rings on the inside perimeter of the cradle.

    • @SusanCliftonArtist
      @SusanCliftonArtist  2 месяца назад +1

      Yes, I do that on the larger work. For this exhibit they are making me use d-rings with no wire. So I'm doing both. I can't wait to see how they plan to hang them.

    Sometimes it’s the little things that make you slap your forehead and say “Why didn’t I think of that?”. Putting another board against the one to be signed to make it level is a game changer. My signature was always a mess when my hand was hanging in midair. That’s one I won’t forget, thanks.

    • @SusanCliftonArtist

      LOL. Glad I could help. I agree it's the little things. We all have our ways of doing things. Thanks for watching.

    Some galleries insist on wire and D rings.

    • @SusanCliftonArtist
      @SusanCliftonArtist  2 месяца назад

      Yes. Also in this case but I still prepare it this way for the collector

    I very much like this way of hanging these wood panels. However I entered a triptych of these panels in a show that required the wire hangers. Sometimes I think some galleries are not very knowledgeable about these deep panels.

    • @SusanCliftonArtist
      @SusanCliftonArtist  2 месяца назад +1

      My exhibit next month is at a venue that has a lot of concrete and they require d-rings with no wire. So I'm going to do both. The d-rings for the venue and my way for the buyer.

    My understanding is gesso does not seal the wood adequately. Gloss medium is the best first layer

    I have problems figuring out what colour to sign in so it doesn’t clash or stand out more than the print itself.

    • @SusanCliftonArtist
      @SusanCliftonArtist  2 месяца назад

      You can always use a color found in the artwork. I have a hard time signing with a paint brush. What do you use?

  • @Arianna1308
    @Arianna1308 2 месяца назад

    Do you also satin varnish your collage?

    • @SusanCliftonArtist
      @SusanCliftonArtist  2 месяца назад

      Yes, in this case I used satin varnish. Sometimes I prefer gloss varnish.
