![]() ![]() ![]() Remember that the frame needs to enhance the portrait and draw attention to it, but not dominate. Black, or a lighter wood such as beech will provide a clean contemporary appearance, antique gold or darker wood offer a more traditional feel. Your choice between modern and traditional, simple and decorative, colourful or black will largely be down to your personal tastes and you need to suit you room’s existing decor as well as your portrait. They will also be able to guide you through the choice of styles and recommend the most suitable for the style of portrait and your tastes/decor. As well as increased choice, they will use good quality materials that won’t react with the paper to keep your portrait in top condition, and they will size the frame to fit your portrait rather than you cutting the portrait to fit the frame (having said that, I generally leave you plenty of spare paper around the drawing so that they can work with it easily). However, I do have a few tips and considerations for you to think about when buying a frame for your new pencil drawing portrait.įirstly, as mentioned above, use a professional framer rather than an off-the shelf frame – it will be more expensive, but will give a much more pleasing result. I’m often asked about framing my work, but I generally prefer to leave that to the experts, because: glass doesn’t travel well, even with the most substantial packaging, and breakages would likely cause irreparable damage to the portrait inside a professional framer will give you more choice and plenty of good advice and it would actually work out cheaper for you to manage this process yourself. ![]()
