Reply To: Paper mounting. Pigment movement

Hello, you can check the notes on the pigments to see if they are mineral based or plant based colours. 🙂 Natural pigments functions well on Xuan papers. If they are industrial pigments, I would suggest you to try watercolors specially made for Chinese painting/ Sumi E. For example, Marie’s Chinese paints, Japanese Sakura Chinese paints, Jiang SiXu Tang’s paints are typical paints for Chinese painting/ sumi e. And some of the colours can function well on Xuan paper too but you need to test them one by one. I once tried watercolour from Holbein and found the colours ‘run away’ when the paper gets wet. #MountingChinesePainting

Thank you very much !
I use watercolor from the Van Gogh brand. Are these industrial? And with the inks in color, would not there be a problem? #MountingChinesePainting

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.

Another reason to explain the problem is the pigments you use. If you use high grade natural pigments, the colour will not move at all. 🙂 For example, Jiang SiXu Tang´s natural colour chips work extremely well for mounting.  For example,

Set Profesional 12 Colores (12 x 5g)

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

And also, you need to mount after the painting is completely dry.

Paper mounting. Pigment movement

I have a mounted a painting and the watercolor pigment has been moved. When I mounted the paper using the ink , this has not happened. Does anyone know the reason? Is it  by the type of pigment only? Thank you¡¡
