“frames must respect the art and almost disappear.”
Art is meant to be seen, so it’s no surprise that framing, along with efficient lighting, intelligent selection, and thoughtful wall painting, is central to the presentation of the piece.
Below are useful life hacks for choosing a frame.
Choosing the right baguette for a picture is no easier than writing it. *When making a picture in a baguette frame, remember the main rule: the frame and the picture should complement each other. * Consider the features of your interior – the frame should not stand out from the overall color. *Remember that a baguette is a deep frame. And this depth is very important to take into account, especially if you do not want the stretcher to be visible in the picture.
*Before choosing a frame, look through art albums, and go to a museum or gallery. So you can see as many examples with different frames as possible and perhaps make your choice.
*Remember that the painting must be protected from UV rays and dust.
*Please note that works made of watercolors, ink, and pastels, covered with gold leaf require especially careful design and storage.
*If the stretcher is crooked, ask the workshop to re-draw the painting for you before framing it.
*Do not be afraid to trust professionals. Choose a good framing workshop in your city and listen to the recommendations of the masters. They decorate a lot of pictures, so they will help you choose a baguette for you.
- If in doubt about whether you need a frame, look again at the style of your home, maybe your interior really does not need fancy frames, and a regular picture on a stretcher will look fresh and concise.
I hope my article was useful to you, and you can easily choose your first frame and decorate the picture!
