How to frame calligraphy and paintings are as follows:
1. Spread the work flat on the table with the back facing upwards.
2. Use a brush soaked in water to brush the back of the work. Don’t use too much force and don’t make it too dry. Just brush the work flat.
3. Spread newspapers on the work to absorb the water.
4. Dilute the paste with water, not too thick or too thin.
5. Use another wool brush to evenly apply the diluted paste on the back of the work. Be sure to apply it evenly. Then wipe off the excess paste on the table around the work.
6. Take a piece of rice paper that is about 2 cm wider than the work on all sides. Place the rice paper from the - side with your left hand. Take a brush (dry brush) with your right hand and brush it back and forth and slowly place the rice paper and continue. Brush until the rice paper is completely attached to the work. {For example: when we put rice paper, we hold the rice paper with our left hand and put it slowly, then brush it up and down with our right hand, and keep moving to the left. After brushing, we can cover it with a layer of newspaper and continue brushing until there are no bubbles. until.
7. At this time, apply the paste on the extra 2 cm, and prepare another two pieces of rice paper about 5 cm wide and 10 cm long, and cover 1/3 of one side of the work. It’s called a “chimney” to keep the back of the piece breathable. Finally, use a knife or something like a knife to pick up a corner of the rice paper and slowly lift it up. Note that the work must be pasted on rice paper.
8. Finally, pick up the mounted work, with the front of the work facing you, walk to a smooth wall (board), the closer the better, blow on it, and stick it to the wall. Use a dry brush to brush vertically and horizontally on the work to draw a rice shape, and finally brush the 2 cm around the work outward. In this way, the secondary painting will be basically flat.
9. After a few days, when the painting is dry, use a knife to cut off the painting on the wall. After the cutting is completed, the mounting of the painting is also completed.
