Picture frames by numbers

Surely many have tried themselves in the image of an artist more than once, using a unique creative invention - a painting with numbers. There are a wide variety of images on sale today that need to be colored. Complex workpieces of large sizes are acquired by adults. Small children are more suitable for miniature pictures with vivid colors. After the final touch is applied to the painting with numbers, it can be used as a decoration for the interior of the house. However, before hanging the painted canvas on the wall, it must be framed.

For any painting, the frame is the final touch, making the painted image more attractive and aesthetically pleasing. Frames for paintings by professional artists are made to order. And for paintings by numbers, they sell a ready-made frame. It can be either standard or custom size. The frames themselves are made from different materials. It can be wood, metal, plastic.

• Color scheme. Frames for paintings by numbers can be made both in one color and in a combined combination of several shades.

• Frame material. This has already been discussed earlier. The frame can be made of wood, plastic, metal. But glass is also added to this list.

The main purpose of the frame is to emphasize the artwork. If the frame is bright and expressive, no one will pay attention to the image in the center of the canvas.

In the recent past, picture frames were chosen according to the style of the image. Today, several items have been added to the general list of requirements for choosing a suitable frame:

• the frame should be combined with the interior of the room;

• the frame should highlight the well-being of the owner of the house.

In order not to make mistakes, it is recommended to learn a few nuances that allow you to choose the most suitable frame for a picture painted by numbers.

• For a simple picture, use the simplest frame.

• A universal version of the frame is considered to be products made in white and beige tones.

The set of any painting with numbers comes with special mounts, which, after writing, allow you to hang the image on the wall. A part of the canvas, wrapped behind a stretcher, can also be painted - as if to make a continuation of the picture, or to cover it with the color prevailing in the drawing. This option can be used in the design of any premises. But it is worth noting that after a while the edges of the picture will be covered with dust, which will be impossible to get rid of. That is why frames made of baguette or passe-partout are considered the ideal solution.

In this case, the role of a baguette is played by products made of plastic and wood. They have a standard format, so there is no need to worry that the canvas will not fit in size. It is only necessary to choose the right baguette so that it gives the picture completeness and laconically fits into the space of the room.

Passepartout, as the second existing method of framing pictures, is designed for coloring in small formats, for example, 30x40 cm or 40x50 cm. Externally, the mat is a wide cardboard frame. It protects the image from ultraviolet radiation, moisture and mechanical damage.

• The frame turns over. The substrate is removed from it.

• A picture is laid on the glass.
