I tell you what I have used.I used a single hard plastic tablecloth the one we use for the breakfast. I made the glue as you show with flavour and allum (my husband uses it for the cuts of the shave) then I put the glue with a large paint brush, I put the newspaper on and press with a large and thick bath brush. then I put the picture on a wood panel as you did, wait until dried.........WOW fantastic!!!!! Thank you very much. Rossana
I enjoy when you make videos like this (part 1 and 2 of the how-to series)-- you explain the entire process. It makes it easier for people to learn; especially if they've never done it. Great job-- keep up to great work! You're very talented! :)
Great I made as you explain in the two videos...you are a very good teacher. I'm from italy and it's very difficult here to find material and people who knows about chinese painting.Even if don't have your mounting brushes I made a very good job.
Cappy! I didn't even think that it could be him. I wish I had your talent (I know you hear that a lot). All the things I could make family and friends!
When you paint a picture and decide to hang it in your house, do you ever take it down to put up a newer painting you've done? With all the paintings you do, you could change them every other day, hehe!
@belonij Well, alum is a size and I thought it could also be a sort of preservative. I could be wrong. One thing is for sure though, and that is, salt is not a preservative. Do not add salt in your mounting paste as the other instructor suggests on TH-cam. Thank you!
I really need to know, but isn't alum acidic? so over time wouldn't it destroy the paper? because i know some museums are having trouble preserving old paper that has been sized with alum , or isn't a different kind of alum (because there are quite a few kinds)? thanks for anything you can tell me.
@FrankT777 Sorry I don't know the answer to your question. You might want search the info on Google. You don't have to use alum. You can find the right alum at BlueHeronArts Com website.

@DFCcaptain3 Yes, the backing paper should be rice paper. Any kind of rice paper would work, but I use mulberry paper for backing.
Thank you for sharing, Rossana. I never heard of hard plastic tablecloth.How think it is?

By the way, your shirt is SO cute.

Would you also do this for a silk painting?
Thanks! I drew Cappy, the family dog on the shirt.
Is the piece of backing paper also rice paper?
If not, what kind of paper?

That is a mounting brush made of fine palm tree fibers. You may fine it at my eBay store: blueheronartscom (or search my ebay id "greetingland").
Nice doge painting on your shirt
