How Do I Frame An Oil Painting on Canvas?
I recently finished an oil painting on a 16X20 inch stretched canvas (not a canvas panel), and I need to frame it. This is NOT one of those thick gallery canvases. I believe it's like a half inch or quarter inch thick. Does anyone know of an online dealer that sells frames to fit canvases?
Thanks loads!
You can buy frames for that size canvas at hobby lobby or Michael's. Way cheaper than a custom made shop. Hobby lobby has them 50% off every other week. And this week they are on sale.
To frame the canvas, you simply slip the painting into the frame from the back as usual. A piece of paper is stuck on the back to 'tidy up' the back of the canvas and stop dust collecting in it. If the frame isn't as deep as the canvas, you'll see part of the canvas' edge if you're looking from the side.
You can buy clips for attaching a frame to a canvas easily.
You can also buy latttice at the hardware store and paint it any color that suits your painting. This is the cheapest way!
