Gouaches painted on paper, pasted on boards so that they are paintings in series without frames . First prime both sides of MDF with caparol, let it dry, then smear the paper and board with bookbinding glue, press the edges with a microfiber cloth. and dried under weighted books between plastic and finally fixed.
