In this video I talk about how to transport a wet painting so that if you paint it in a class or a park, you can bring it home safely while it’s still wet!
I used to carry wet paintings all around New York City and was constantly afraid they’d get damaged or that I would get wet paint on some fancy New Yorker’s clothes! So I developed this simple trick to package a wet painting to protect it as I bring it home.
RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS VLOG:
Here are 5 simple steps to package a wet painting for safe transport:
- Make cardboard wedge shapes.
- Tape them to the corners of your canvas.
- Cut foam core to the same size as your canvas.
- Tape the foam core vertically and horizontally in place.
- Put it all in a bag and be at peace as you carry your wet painting home!
This has made it so easy and streamlined for me to create work wherever I want and then safely and calmly bring it home after!
If the paint at the corners is wet it may get smudged a bit by the wedges on the corners, so I just make sure to unpackage the painting when I get home and touch up the corners while it’s still wet.
There are also wet painting carriers for panels like the ones listed about under resources!
