New experimental art. About a month ago, one of the art league members gave a demonstration on frame-less watercolor. The idea is to attach a finished painting to a "cradleboard" with heavy body clear acrylic medium - trim off the excess around the edges and let it dry. The next step is to carefully rub a wax medium onto the surface - gently rubbing to an even low gloss. From there you can paint the edges and wire the painting on the back.
I wanted to try this on a smallish piece of art. This is the finished watercolor. I will update when I finish the mounting. I haven't done a watercolor for ages. Primarily, because of the cost of the matt, the frame and the glass on traditionally displayed watercolor.
