Henry, what do you add to the mounting paste, if you are mounting a colored painting, to prevent the colors spread. Because I found out that only is the black ink permanent but not the Chinese paint in the tubes. These Chinese paints are just like western gouache paints, which can be picked up by adding water to it after they dry. That's the same as Chinese paints. Thanks
@jjade70chueh If you use heavy color, Chinese or western, the best way to mount your painting is dry-mounting, instead of wet-mounting. There is no way to prevent bleeding with wet paste. You can use glue+alum+water(Mingjiao Glue 7 : Alum 3 : Water 15) to seal the paints before mounting as it is done by ongbi artist between each layers of wash to prevent color from bleeding. Have you ever tried silicone dry-mounting paper? I think that is the best solution. Thanks!
@blueheronarts Thanks for reply. yes, I tried silicone dry-mounting paper, but I don't do it well. Wet-mounting seems to be a little better for me. Do you sell Mingjiao at your store? What's mingjio consists of? Is it from animal or plant? Thanks
@blueheronarts Sorry Henry I did not realize I was someone else's account for writing the other post below. Anyway, I tried silicone paper, but i cannot do it well to make it flat. I prefer wet mounting method. Do you sell Mingjiao at your store? What's in Mingjiao? Is it made from animal or plant glue? Also when you combine the glue, alum, and water together, do you need to cook the paste the same way as the wet-mounting paste? thanks
Thanks so much for this video. I'd tried dry-mounting in hopes of an easy, painless way to mount my paintings, but I actually had a much easier time doing this wet-mounting.
Glad to hear that. Actually, I have an extra mounting brush, handmade of palm tree fibers like the one I used in the demo, and I may sell it on eBay, will you be interested?
Actually I was looking into buying one. I was just using a standard stiff brush I had around the house (to connect the rice paper to the mulberry paper) and a baren (after the newsprint was on top). Seemed to work fairly well.
How much would you be selling it for? I'm a poor college student, so even if I want it, I may not be able to afford it right now...

what kind of paper used and glued on the back of the painting?
tsubamenogaeshi 3 years ago
I would use Mulberry Paper (see my website for supply). Other rice paper are also OK.

Do you also sell the wash brush like you used on this video? how much is that? if not, where can i buy one?
tsubamenogaeshi 3 years ago
You may use a wide Hack Brush for the pasting. It is commonly used in watercolor painting.
