I will also show you how to make an inexpensive floater frame. Let's save some money and display our art! By the way, you can find a real-time tutorial for this snowy door painting in Critique Club and I have a free timelapse video on YouTube. Supplies (affiliate links used) Finished watercolor painting Dorlands wax: Blick or Amazon (blick is cheaper) Acrylic paint Wood surface to mount to (I used a scrap of plywood and I put Jenga blocks on the back to make the spacers for the floater.) A more professional option would be a cradled wood board. Cradled panels on Blick, and Cradled panels on Amazon *compare prices and sizes, blick has a great selection of singles, and Amazon has better prices in bulk. Get exactly the size you need, or a touch smaller if you don't mind cropping your painting because you can't cut these panels down. Matte Medium: Blick or Amazon *any brand is fine. Paintbrush Soft cotton cloth Lint-free paper towel or coffee filter for applying wax Simple huh? I hope you give it a try and til next time happy crafting!
