Matching coloured frame and mount
Posted: Thu 06 Jan, 2022 4:35 pm
Happy new year all, I hope you all manage a good break!
I have had a few request from clients recently for a style whereby the frame (custom painted in a F&B type colour) and the mount are matching.
In both instances, the request has been for the artwork to be surfaced mounted.
Can I ask for some in-put please?
Is it simply a matter of painting a mount (anything specific, for example LJ's 8627 as a base)?
Any pitfalls that I should be aware of, for instance, paint type, would F&B chalk based tester pots be suitable and should the painted mount (if that is method) then have a coat of polyvine decorators varnish for example?
Many thanks
