Framing Options + Painting Titles [9]

Published: March 19, 2019, 8 a.m.

Framing can be a challenge for us all. It\u2019s expensive and there are so many options. If you paint on board or canvas, is it necessary? If you do decide to add a frame, what style works best? Today we\u2019re going to delve into this topic, discuss our own approaches, and share some inside tips. We consider buying pre-made frames, having frames made online, and working with a professional framer.  The discussion also covers cost and profit concerns and how to balance those with the desire to present your work most effectively.

We also talk titles after a listener asks: \u201cHow much importance do you attach to finding a good title for each painting and which comes first - the title (theme?) or the painting?\u201d  We discuss the importance of titles to our work and how we each approach them.

Finally, the decision to purchase a small painting leads Louise to re-visit her attitude to selling and Alice is feeling grateful to the people who help us with our art.
