Shipping Artwork, thank you Ray !



Hi friends ! Iβm in an exhibit this fall and Iβm looking if anyone has any good tips on shipping already framed artwork β¦ Iβm hopeful someone has a good website to shop boxes with good padding or is reliable and isnβt ridiculously expensive β¦ thanks so much , any advice welcome
If your framed piece is relatively small (11" x 14" or so) you can get a FedEx, UPS, or similar flat box and make your own liner with sheet foam, bubble wrap, etc. for a lot less. It's worth it to pay the extra for shipping. Not sure I would trust USPS, although they have improved on packages lately.
Last week I attended a workshop held by swedish artist and writer Anita Midbjer. Her latest book about nordic watercolour-artists was the foundation. We studied flowing pigments, complimentary colours and shapes. Essence of light. And how light moves flowingly. -How to capture that? It was a wonderful experience. And I thought I'd share some of my experiments here with you.


Large formats that allowed plenty of freedom for water and pigment.
I apologize for looking like an idiot. But the pictures were taken while I was talking..π€ͺ
Thank you!! I like you on video! Your knowledge shines through, and you are calm with great sense of humour that has given me confidence to continue over the years!!
And the forrest-painting is a keeper!π
Finally the tripod was finished and the weather cooled down so that I could try it out. I did not go out amongst people but drove deep into the forrest. This to gain confidence and experience setting up without having people asking what I'm doing. All according to 2 of my favourite plein air artists.
What does not show in the pictures is the little radio. It works as a bear-repellent. What was created is of minor importance here. I loved the tripod! Even though windy conditions it stood firmly. And the whole kit goes in a nylon bag and weighs 1.5 kg. The boards weighs close to nothing and fits in my backpack. That one weighs more!
Thanks to Edo for tips! And to You who's name I don't recall in writing moment, for tip on Mijello palette.


And No! I don't dip in the coffee!!π
yay! looks great.
