Teaching myself how to mount my finished pieces. - add images

For my exhibition I would like to present my work on boards and give any work on paper to have a white or black boarder around it to create a neat finish to my artwork.

The first piece I intend to mount on black is my Pop Art Artist study of Roy Lichtenstein's work. this piece is in coloured pencils on an A3 piece of cartridge paper. with this piece being of a reasonable size I think it is a good option to mount first.

Materials needed to mount:

- Black paper (to cut into strips)

- White paper (to cut into strips)

- Guillotine 

- A glue stick 

Step 1

Apply glue to the back of an artwork piece 

Step 2

Place the sticky side down on white paper 

Step 3

Use the guillotine to trim an equal edge of white to each side 

Step 4

Then repeat this process on black paper.

Paint Pouring

For this process first I filled a tray halfway with water  I then mixed up my paint colours using both poster paints and oil paints mixing each colour with either linseed oil or white spirit. For my first attempt I used a pink colour pallet making a range of pink shades of paint along side red white and a few purple shades.  I began by pouring my different colours in the water filled tray, then using the end if a paintbrush to mix the colours to create a nice pattern in the water. I then placed a piece of paper onto the patterns then lifting the paper off to reveal the pattern that has now been printed onto the paper. I repeated this process numerous times to create a range of different patterns and pieces. After all the paper was dry I picked the pieces that I thought worked best an put them in sets to be mounted to display in my exhibition.

Joseph Lee inspired artwork

After looking at Joseph Lee's work I was inspired to try out a similar art form to his portrait work. For my piece I decided to take photos and manipulate my image using a printed out copy on cartridge paper. i mixed up colours in similar tones to my my portrait photos, I then also mixed my paint into textured paste a this is a cheaper way to create an effect of thick paint smudges and dries a lot quicker too. Here are my results:
