Drying Racks for Paintings




I finish all of my acrylic paintings with a glossy acrylic "varnish" by either Liquitex or Golden, my two favorite brands. Since this is the final layer that seals everything, you especially want it to dry without blemish. I recently bought a set of Wilton's Stackable Cookie Racks and they work great! You can fit two small sized paintings on each one, or stretch two of them out to support a larger painting. They come in a set of 3 and also collapse for storage. Most places retail them for around $10. You can find them at JoAnn's Fabric & Craft , Target, and a few other places. However, if you can find them at your local craft store, you can use a coupon to get them at anywhere from 40-50% off when they are not already on sale. JoAnn's and Michael's often have such coupons. Look in their flyers or visit their websites for info on how to print their coupons.

  1. What a great idea! I always have trouble not touching the sides after they are varnished. These would work perfectly. Thanks for sharing!
