Painting Framing Tips

Choosing a painting is difficult because there are so many magnificent paintings to choose from. However, the most important part of owning a painting is to frame it correctly. The frame, when done properly enhances the painting and brings out the color dimension that the artist expressed in the art.

Oils on canvas should not be framed under glass. The canvas must be allowed to breathe and stay firm. The process of framing an oil painting is complex in itself. The framer must know the exact size of the painting and stretch it using stretch bars, making it as tight as possible. The frame must also compliment the colors and not over power the painting. I have had great success framing my paintings at Michaels. I highly recommend them because they understand how to treat canvas.

Remember, selecting your frame is very important and when done correctly will balance the artwork. If you find it difficult to make your selection please seek the advice of a professional.
