View full detailsChoosing the right frame for a painting involves balancing style, size, and color. Neutral-colored frames like black, white, or natural wood are versatile and highlight the artwork without overwhelming it. Ornate or metallic frames can enhance traditional or classical paintings. Always consider the painting’s dimensions and choose a frame that complements the artwork's style while protecting it for long-term display.
Standard art frame sizes include popular dimensions such as 8x10 inches, 11x14 inches, 16x20 inches, and 24x36 inches. These sizes are widely available and fit many common canvas and paper artworks. For non-standard sizes, custom frames are an excellent option to ensure a snug and visually appealing fit that protects and enhances your art.
Watercolor paintings are typically framed with a mat board to prevent the paper from touching the glass. Choose an acid-free mat and backing to protect the painting from discoloration over time. Secure the artwork with archival tape, place it inside the frame, and seal it to ensure proper preservation. The mat adds a professional look while safeguarding the delicate surface of the watercolor.
Canvas paintings often look best in floating frames, which create a modern, gallery-style appearance. Choose a frame that complements the canvas's edges and overall aesthetic. For thick gallery-wrapped canvases, framing may not be necessary, but a simple or minimalistic frame can enhance the artwork's presentation while providing additional protection.
Yes, unmounted canvases can be framed, but they first need to be stretched onto a wooden frame. Once stretched, the canvas can be placed into a traditional or floating frame. Stretching ensures the artwork remains taut and secure, preventing wrinkles or damage, while the frame adds an elegant finishing touch. Custom framing services are helpful for this process.
