Painting is fantastic. I’m not crazy about the color of the frame. I probably would prefer brown/dark. But I don’t know anything about framing. Can someone give me an idea about any framing rules?
Beautiful painting!!!! Thanks for covering this aspect on presenting your work, it’s just as important as the painting itself. Perhaps in the future you can touch on the subject of pricing ones work. That’s always a tough one! 🙏🎨🙏🎨🙏
Hi Patrick, I recently signed up for your channel and I want to ask you a question. I am a watercolor beginner and one of my biggest difficulties is just being able to simplify the shapes but without looking sloppy. Can you tell me which of your videos can help me the most to learn how to solve this problem? Thanks for the reply. Francesco
I love the video. I believe you said you use eggshell paint, any brand will work? I am in the US, any idea how to get inexpensive frames? I assume this would also work for oil paintings, do you agree? What is the name of the wax.
The lighting above your head and off the tripod seems perfect, and there is nothing to knock over. It amazes me how just a few steps with a frame can look so fabulous. I did order a small set of cotman paint, I want to try it. I bought the tubes. Thank you for your time and great hints.
Let me know how you get on with the Cotman paints. The lights are perfect. As you say up out of the way they put out plenty of light. One would have probably been enough.
This particular painting I stretched the paper before painting. When I cut it off the board it was as flat as a pancake. If I don’t stretch first and the paper cockles I dampen the back of the painting sandwich it between two sheets of cheap watercolour paper and place some heavy books on it. 24 later you will have a perfectly flat painting ready for framing 😀
Beautiful. Lovely frame. A tip I heard was to buy ready made frames and cut/paint to fit. Saved a bundle but I am largely doing it for myself. Great stuff
Great info, Patrick.What mat cutter do you use ? Most are too expensive for me to afford ; wondering if you have an idea how to save on this too. Thanks a lot.
Thank you I’m pleased you enjoyed it. I use a Frame Co mount cutter.it produces excellent results. I bought mine second hand off eBay I paid about £110.00 a few years ago.
