Your Personal Custom Picture Framer and Fine Art Gallery August 2008 Volume 2 ~ Issue 8

Colorful Custom Mats!

Framing artwork can be fun. Posters, sports memorabilia, and animation art, for example, all lend themselves to bright colors. Enhancing art with color is a refreshing change and brightens up any home or office décor.

If your are a collector or have any pieces of animation art, the first thing you'll notice are the vibrant, striking colors. We can help you choose which colors in the artwork should be used for the matting and framing. In the example shown here, Fred and Barney come alive with smart color choices. A bright blue extends the sky, surrounded by a thin bright orange second mat to higlight Fred's outfit, with the third yellow mat pulling it all together to match Barney's hair. The bright orange frame completes the design.  The framing helps pull you into the world of Bedrock.



Abstracts also lend themselves to powerful, colorful designs. We can create interesting, unique designs to perfectly fit each piece. In our example, this abstract piece was framed using bands of color instead of one flat mat. The blue, red and yellow matboards pick up the colors in the artwork. Surrounded by a tangerine frame.... the piece pops!


Even a traditional painting can be made to look up to date using a rich colored mat and metal frame. The wider, deeper blue mat was chosen to pull that color out of the painting and liven things up. A white border surrounds the art, but it is followed by a thin beeswax color that is highlighted by a walnut and silver leaf frame. The framing provides the setting for you to focus on the artwork.
