Framing is an integral part of art. It is as important as the artwork itself and it should not be overlooked. Picture frames are there to support, protect and compliment your artwork. You need to make sure that you have selected the right frame for your artwork to ensure that it looks beautiful once you have hung it on the wall.
Framing and mounting your art not only makes it look good, it helps to preserve the art and ensure that it is going to last for a long time once you have hung it on the wall. Whenever you badly frame a piece of art, you are running the risk that sunlight and moisture could damage it. It isn’t worth taking the risk, especially if you have paid a lot of money for your piece of artwork. This is especially true if you are framing fine pieces of art such as oil paintings or watercolours. Both of these types of artwork are very delicate and should be treated with care.
Your professional framer will know exactly what type of frame and mount to use with these particular pieces of art if you are unsure. You should always ask for advice if you don’t know what you are doing when it comes to framing.
