Watercolor
Watercolor paintings are generally matted and placed behind glass or acrylic.
Watercolor paint tends to look light and airy and has a translucent quality.
To maintain that look, avoid mats and frames that are dark and heavy.
The artist’s pallet is the best guide in the selection of mat and frame colors.
Yet, sometimes, you will not be able to follow these general rules.
Tip: Watercolors are original art.
Make sure they are correctly preserved by using appropriate conservation
grade framing materials to protect their value and their longevity.

It's an extension of your art and your taste.
We will walk you through the steps of choosing the right framing treatment for your artwork.
Unlike big-box and chain stores, you won’t find any cheap grade materials here.
We exclusively use acid-free materials, reversible mounting techniques and glass (glazing) that is specially coated to eliminate the light that makes things fade. If you’re going to spend money to protect something– make sure you do it right!
