Total Course Time: 3 hrs 5 min

Creating strong works on paper is only part of the process. How your artwork is finished and presented plays a huge role in how it’s perceived, displayed, and sold.

This bundle combines both of my studio workflows for flattening finished paintings on paper and mounting them onto cradled wood panels, so you can take your work from buckled to beautiful with a clean, professional, gallery-ready presentation.

This Bundle Is For Artists Who:

• Make and sell original works on paper
• Work on heavyweight, uncoated fine art paper (300 gsm / 140 lb minimum), like watercolor paper or mixed media paper
  
• Use watercolor, ink, acrylic, gouache, charcoal, spray paint, pastel, graphite, or mixed media on paper
• Struggle with buckling and getting their finished works on paper to lie flat
• Want to offer a glass-free framing option
• Want a unique look that stands out
• Want to reduce framing costs
• Want their work to have a professional, clean look
• Care about longevity and protection
• Care about craftsmanship and are willing to put effort in

This is an in-depth professional finishing process, not a quick class. If you're more of a hobbyist, this may not be for you. These techniques are not meant for finished collaged works or thin paper like sketchbook paper.

This Bundle Gives You A Complete System For:

• Removing warping and buckling from finished paintings
• Getting paper to lay flat for mounting to a panel or framing behind glass
• Prepping wood panels for mounting
• Mounting work onto cradled wood panels
• Getting your edges smooth and flush to the panel
• Preventing and removing air bubbles if they pop up
  
• Sealing/protecting your artwork based on your medium
• Adding framing and hanging hardware
• Creating a modern, elevated look that stands out

• Achieving consistent, professional, and reliable results

What’s Included:

You'll get immediate, unlimited access to both courses:

• Flatten Works on Paper
• Mount Paper to Panel

Flatten Works on Paper
Learn my step-by-step method for flattening finished paintings on paper. This course shows you exactly how I remove buckling and warping from work of any size using a reliable, repeatable process. This technique can be used to stretch the paper in the beginning or flatten the painting at the end. There’s no tape, no iron, and no more hoping it dries flat. You'll learn how to control the surface so it lies flat every time. 

Mount Paper to Panel
Learn my full mounting workflow, including how to properly prepare a wood panel, mount a finished painting to the panel, seal the painting's surface based on your chosen medium, and add framing and hardware. This course gives you a professional alternative to traditional framing that eliminates glass and makes your pieces stand out in a saturated market.

You’ll learn the exact materials I use and where to get them, and receive my full supply list and troubleshooting tips as a PDF download. 

Unlimited Access

You’ll receive unlimited access to both courses so you can revisit the process anytime you need it, reference materials lists, and apply these techniques throughout your practice.
