Choosing the right frame
No, I don't sell frames. You will be looking for a frame for your artwork so; I want to pass along a little advise about framing a drawing or an oil painting. |
For a charcoal drawing..........
A charcoal drawing on paper needs a frame with a mat and
glass to protect the drawing from damage, moisture and dust.
Never cover more than a half inch of the papers edge, on
each side, with the mat. Never cut the size of your drawing
to fit a frame. Have the mat cut to fit the drawing.
For the 12 x 19 charcoal, I suggest an 18 x 24 inch frame (a 16 x 20 is too small) .
For an oil painting............... An attractive frame without a mat and without a glass is what you need. The frame should be deeper, to hold the stretched canvas.
