I see the drawing on the board moving with humidity. Is there a way to avoid this? The drawing develop wrinkles which create shodows on the paper. And I believe the edges might crack do to the movement in time. You stated above, that the drawings stay mounted at the studio when you r instructors work on them. Do they also go on sale on the panel?

Hello, I have read in the discussion on the stretched paper that the frames are reusable, the paper stretches again once it dries again. I really like the stretched paper as a permanent mount for a large drawing. I’ve seen in Ilya’s studio the drawings are displayed still stretched on the frames. The problem with this method is the movement in the paper which will damage it within time. Is there a museum standard method to stretch paper permanently for display? In graphic collections of old masters I have seen paper mounted with paper strips which can slide within harder frames made from board allowing it to expand and shrink. Is it advisable to glue the paper on board with a fixed mount? Which glue would one mix into the water or is there another way to securely mount large drawings to museum and permanent standard? Any advice is highly appreciated.
