Reply To: Paper mounting. Pigment movement

 

Hi, I tested before. One mounting master taught me a trick: put the painting in a plastic bag and fasten the bag. Then steam it for a while. Afterwards, mount it. This helps lock the colours on paper.

If you want to use industrial pigments, then use paints which are specially for Chinese painting. For example, these colours,
