How to mount a painting on board

 

This is the process I go through to back a painting on board ready to hang on a wall.

 Equipment required: 

  -  Mitre Box

  -  Saw

  -  Pine strip of wood

  -  Pencil

  -  Sand paper

  -  Wood glue

  -  Modeling compound (artist quality)

  -  plastic/cardboard/business card   

  -  Gesso primer (artist quality) Ruler

  -  Hand drill

  -  2 x D-rings

  -  2 x Screws

  -  Screw driver

  -  Wire 

  -  Needle-nose pliers

  -  Wire cutter

  -  Fine Point Pen (artist quality)

 *Note: Step 9 - Fill corners with modeling compound.

 This particular example shows how I backed 'My Venus' ready to hang for a customer who purchased this painting off Facebook. I back all my artwork on board using this same process if the buyer chooses to have the image mounted with wire and D-rings ready for hanging.
