Framing Options + Painting Titles [9]
55:45 Share

Framing can be a challenge for us all. It’s 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’re 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: “How much importance do you attach to finding a good title for each painting and which comes first - the title (theme?) or the painting?”  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.
