Picture Frames Set Off Your Artwork Beautifully
Whether you enjoy painting or taking fine photographs, or work in another two-dimensional medium, you know that if you want to display your artwork, you will need to use picture frames for that purpose. You will not be disappointed when you look for the perfect frame for your art. There are a plethora of ready-made picture frames, or you could select a custom-made wood picture frame or metal picture frame, depending on the artwork and your preferences. The types of picture frames that you might want to choose from will depend on the type of artwork that you wish to frame.
Generally speaking, photographers favor a metal picture frame, white a painter might select a wood picture frame. Ready-made picture frames come in both metal and wood varieties, and with custom frames the sky is the limit. If you go to visit museums or fine art galleries where photographs are displayed, you will often see the artwork framed in slender black metal frames with wide white mat board used to edge the photograph. This is done, especially when black and white photos are on display, for several reasons. First, the wide white mat helps to focus the viewer's eye on the center of the frame, where the picture is displayed. The white and black colors do not detract in any way from the artwork.
Having consistent picture frames also helps to keep the room looking organized, despite the variety of photographs on display. This is a very modern, sleek look, which also looks wonderful in homes with modern interior design, but can look out of place in other styles of home interior design. Painters often use a wood picture frame to set off their paintings and watercolors. Wood can be painted, gilded, or stained in a wealth of different colors, so that the artist can select a shade that complements or contrasts with his or her artwork. By keeping these ideas in mind when selecting the mat board to be used with the artwork, an artist can create layers of color in the mat and picture frames that can be very striking. You can choose from several beautiful ready-made picture frames, or you might need a custom frame.
Ready mades are always in stock, and come in standard sizes. Consequently, they tend to also cost less than custom-made picture frames. However, if you have a piece of artwork that does not fit into a standard size, then a custom frame will be in order. You will follow the manufacturer's directions for determining the correct size, and you can have metal or wood picture frames made to your exact specifications.

Is handmade 25 weight paper thick enough for charcoal, watercolor, pastel, pencil, pen...etc art?
I'm looking to do a bit of drawing and possibly small paintings was wondering what paper is best for mostly sketches and charcoal but occasionally watercolors or paint.
The paper I am looking at is handmade standard 25 weight paper, about the same thickness you find in most copy machine paper.
It is 100 percent recycled materials. The paper is 100 percent cotton rag, waste cotton from a t-shirt factory. Fabric scraps are shredded with a cutting machine and mixed with water until the slurry mixture resembles potato soup in appearance and texture. The slurry is ladled onto a screen with a framed edge so that the paper/water slurry will not spill. The water sinks through the screen mesh, leaving only a cotton sheet. This is hung up to dry and cut to size. Some papers have other fibers pressed in, such as flowers, straw or herbs. The imprint of the screen is clearly visible on the paper.
That paper seems sturdy to me with an old-fashioned feel.
Where it might be fine for a charcoal drawing or sketch, pencil or pastel, it wont hold up under watercolor, it will swell up in the wet areas and when it dries, it will be catiwompas and you won't be able to press it flat.....Now, you might get away with using a paper of 65 lb Weight but not 25 lb.......By the way,....Poundages are calculated by stacks of paper of 500 count.....in other words, if that paper was stacked in a stack of 500 sheets, it would weigh in at 25 pounds so I think you might ought to check to see what the actual paper weighs in at cuz I'm betting it's heavier than 25 lb........Watercolor rag should always be at the very least 40 pound and hot pressed as opposed to cold pressed......cold pressed refers to a paper that has dried without the aid of heat.......hot press is usually a paper that is pressed by rolling it between hot rollers "per sheet" or is rolled on one roll or very long sheet.......that is then cut to size and put in stack and then banded together between plywood and left to cure.
