Picture Frames for Fine Art
When it comes to your fine art photos or paintings, there are few hard-and-fast rules when it comes to picture frames. However, there is a definite procedure for mounting any piece of visual art or valuable document, you’ll need the proper framing and matting supplies in addition to your photo frames. The easiest way to go is perhaps to purchase complete picture framing kits, which include everything you’ll need in addition to picture frames.
The fact is that improper framing can be worse than simply sticking a photo or painting up on the wall with tacks. Picture frames are actually a form of archival storage, and must be done properly in order preserve the artifact effectively, whether it’s a photo, painting or precious document. The choice of custom picture frames itself is important as well; photography frames as well as those for paintings and other documents should complement, not detract from the artifact, and should be appropriate for the décor of the room in which it is to be displayed.
The framing and matting supplies you’ll need in addition to picture frames themselves include a good supply of mat board. Mount board is what your photo of painting is actually attached to, preferable using photo corners or adhesive hinging tissue. The matting separates your picture from the glazing – the clear glass or acrylic that is placed over the picture itself – keeping the surface of the picture from coming in contact with it. Otherwise, there would be the risk of moisture condensation and substantial damage to the framed artifact would result.
You’ll need the proper tools in addition to your picture framing kits; a professional mat board cutter is a good investment. Other than that, you’ll need a good straight edge with some kind of measurement, a t-square, and a fair amount of patience, as there some skill involved.
Outside of the guidelines referred to above, the choice of picture frames depends largely on your own personal taste and preferences. Wood is a popular choice, as they offer warmth and luster that is appropriate for most types of décor and are available in many different styles as part of picture framing kits as well as stand-alone custom picture frames. On the other hand, metal frames in muted and subdued colors are relatively inexpensive and are unobtrusive; they tend not to detract from the artifact itself.
Whether you choose metal picture frames or wood ones, it’s important to use good quality framing and matting supplies that have been treated with an alkaline neutralizing agent so as to protect the artifact from acidity. Pay attention to the hanging, mounting and matting, and the picture frames will serve their intended functions well for many years.
