How To Framing For Your New Oil Painting

Choose a frame that won't distract from the art itself, but matches the feel. You should also consider the style of your interior décor. Simple, flat black or brown frames can set off nearly any style of painting nicely. Metallic frames with ornate carvings should be reserved for traditional paintings such as portraits, Landscape Oil Paintings and still-lifes.

Insert the painting into the opening through the back of the frame. Place one offset clip on each side of the frame--either the top and bottom or sides--and screw them in using two number eight screws. Screw a strap hanger into each side of the frame, 1/3 of the way down, using the two remaining number eight screws. Don't tighten the screws all the way, so they'll be able to rotate freely.

Slide one end of the hanging wire into one of the strap hangers and securely wrap the end around it five or six times. Insert the hanging wire into the other strap hanger, leaving a little bit of slack. Then, wrap the end as you did with the first one.

Remember: Never frame an oil painting under glass; they need to breathe. You can find many kinds of oil painting frames on yeahart.com, and you can also choose the oil painting and wall color to see if it fit your frame.

Having oil paintings professionally framed can be really expensive, adding to the cost of your art purchase. While professional framers are skilled at choosing oil painting Frames to suit the piece, and the framing process can be time-consuming, not everyone can shell out the money for this service. So you can frame an oil painting yourself with a frame.

Oil paintings are traditionally painted on a Canvas Stretched over bars. They can also be painted on a board. This means the oil painting frames must be deep, substantial, and should be made of wood over metal. You may find selection of an oil Painting Frame to be slightly limited because of these constraints.

The toughest decision when it comes to framing oil paintings is whether or not to use glass. Many people prefer to look at a painting without glass. It's not absolutely necessary since picture glass accomplishes basically the same protective function as varnish when applied to an oil painting. Glass is, however, more effective in resisting dust and protecting the artwork from UV rays. Note that today many museums put their most prized masterpieces behind glass for their ultimate protection.

Ornate Frame
Ideas for painting an ornate mirror frame?

We have a beautiful, old very ornate mirror my grandmother-in-law gave to us and we want to use it in our decor. However, it is really kind of gold, Louie 14 style design and doesn't fit in. I was thinking of spray painting it a dark chocolate color that would go with the rest of the furniture peices in the room and make it a part of the foyer. Any ideas?

I would just clean it up and leave as is or gold or silver leaf! I wold not Spray Paint.
That is why it is beautiful!
They are now putting " Granny couches" with glass top chrome end or coffee tables!
Somehow it seems to work and actually looks very nice!
Good luck!
