Framing & Matting...

Art Xpressions can ship items matted and framed. Framing & matting TIPS for your purchased Fine Artworks from ArtXpressions.com:

Original Drawings:

Original Drawings need to have at least one archival mat between drawing and glass and/or frame.

Original Oil Paintings:

Original Oil Paintings need room to breath! Oils should only have a frame (no mat or glass). Placing glass over an oil painting could trap moisture between canvas, painted surface and glass. This could cause many problems in the long run.

Original Acrylic Paintings:

Original Acrylic Paintings can have a mat, frame & glass. Acrylics seem to do just fine with just frame.

Original Watercolor Paintings:

Original Watercolor Paintings need archival mat(s), UV protected glass and an archival frame. This will keep all oils from wood frames off of your artworks. Archival mats have special pockets inside of them to trap moisture and other pollutants off of the artwork too.

Original textured artworks:

Original Textured Paintings need to be protected behind glass. Depending on the thickness of the artwork, you could use a raised-mat or a shadow box. Textured works tend to collect dust more effectively than other artworks. So, having glass will protect it.

Simple, straight edge frames do wonders to fine artworks.


Packaging & Shipping...

Notes:
~ Remember that shipping costs are calculated by weight. If you want an artwork framed with glass it will cost more but looks great and will be ready for hanging on your wall.
