Three Great Tips to Frame a Watercolor Painting

A very common mistake usually occurs by using a very loud frame on a painting. Sometimes it happens that the views first place their attention is on the frame and then on the painting inside. For example a discord is created when an ornate gold frame fights against the bold or subtle colors of painting. It could remind the viewer of a beautiful song with an off key played note. The frame may be beautiful in and off itself but its pairing with ‘off beat’ painting spoils the appearance of the entire piece of art.

Toning can make the gold frame look old, distressed or brand new at times. Golds generally look great in portraits. Silver generally portraits the monotone piece, photograph or most prints. But again to emphasize and repeat the words that there are no hard and fast rules in framing colors. z

  5. www.halenacline.com Choosing a frame in the museum for a piece of art, one should always consider the both artist and the piece of work provided. As many artists generally frame their own work the naming is not so necessary, but as an artist travels from place to place they should name the subject properly for proper identification.
