Section 2: Framing Fundamentals

Begins after page 18. A good frame can add substantial value to two-dimensional artwork, but for many artists, it’s an afterthought. We take you behind the scenes with a master framer, share the colors, trends and styles popular in framing this year, and tell you how you can become a framer yourself. The right frames could make all the difference in your sales.
