Framed Watercolor Art Monkeys
Framed Watercolor Art Monkeys . The easiest method for floating is to hinge art to a pedestal of foamboard or mat board that is about 1 smaller all around than the water color itself. In general, the larger the painting, the wider the frame molding can be, but it's all a matter of taste. Still Life With A Monkey, Fruit And Flowers | 1St Art Gallery from www.1st-art-gallery.com (the mat is the quiet that allows the artwork to sing!) a standard mat width is 2 1/2” to 3” although larger artwork will require something more substantial. Floating a watercolor over a decorative backing without mats creates a wonderful presentation that is becoming very popular. I lay the painting upside down and attach a strip of hanging tape (purchased from my framer) along the top of the back of the artwork.
