Just a techincal question: How to Hang a Heavy Painting?

Recommended Posts

This painting I'm working on right now is all customized in terms of the frame. It's 4'x4'....4" deep on the wall... and it's about 100 lbs...if not heavier. Do I have to use wire and look for studs in the wall to mount it? I plan to mount it in class on those white walls that students usually pin in their art with thumb tacks.

That's pretty cool.

BTW, I'm also going to check out Vitamin P today. The book is out of press so it was hard to find but I'll be driving 20 miles out to take a look.

Thanks!
