The paper that I use for my prints has a rough upper and lower edge which I really like. When choosing a passepartout, be careful that the colour goes well with the colour of the print paper.

DO I WANT A PASSEPAR-TOUT OR DO I WANT THE EDGES OF THE PAPER TO BE VISIBLE?Ī passepartout, or picture mount, is an acid free cardboard with a cut out slightly bigger than the image that is mounted on the print.

With that said, black or white, you can't make a bad choice here.ģ. When the image has a lot of black areas or rectangular form, white is a nice option. On the other hand if you prefer a very light subtle style, then a white frame is a good option. Also consider if there any other paintings close by that have frames in a certain colour or shape. How will the wall, the paintings and the furniture in the room form a harmonious entity?Ī black frame will be more accentuated and if the artwork is more on the light side with a lot of white space then I would choose black. When choosing colour always consider the wall where you're going to hang your print. For the black and white graphic style of my art I would go for black or white. WHICH COLOUR DO I WANT THE FRAME TO BE?įrames come in a variety of colours. If you want a frame that is as thin as possible, choose metal.


If you prefer the look and texture of wood, go for that option. The perfect frame for me would be a wooden frame, as thin as possible without rounded corners. I prefer wooden frames because of the texture. Metal frames can be thinner than wooden ones. The most common materials are wood or metal.
