Draw a beautiful picture in a baguette. It will look complete. Baguette will add saturation, brightness and value to a work of art. For an attractive design picture should follow these rules:

Baguette is selected for painting, not for interior elements

The picture can be outweighed as much as desired, and the frame remains with it for a long time. The baguette serves as a complement to the picture, so they should not compete with each other. Important signs of the correct choice of baguette:

• compatibility with the picture in terms of colors;
• Baguette pattern and texture repeat or supplement the motifs drawn in the picture;
• the drawing of the picture smoothly switches to the frame.

The possibilities of baguette decor are endless. A competently chosen frame will help decorate a large canvas and will not allow to get lost a small photo. At the same time, the design of paintings in a baguette can consist only of a frame, and can be more complicated and include such elements:

• refinement;
• кант для refinement;
• butt;
• glass;
• rolling the image onto the substrate;
• lamination;
• embossing.

Kinds of frames and their features

  • strong (withstand large pictures in the glass);
  • a large assortment (oak, beech, alder, walnut).

Tips for decorating a picture in a baguette

• for small paintings you need a wide baguette (the baguette area should be larger than the area of ​​the picture);
• paintings painted in warm shades require a baguette of warm tones, cold picture shades require cold baguette tones;
• a simple framing frame is needed for paintings with simple lines;
• the main thing to remember is to dominate the picture, and the frame only connects the picture with the interior;
• the baguette should be a light gray or darker than the main color in the picture; You can also make the frame in color, which coincides with the background color in the picture;
• a baguette in the color scheme of a natural tree goes to almost every picture;
• The style of the painting should coincide with the baguette:
  • The avant-garde is not made into a classical wide molded frame;
  • Dutch painting will not be decorated with a modern glossy narrow frame in color;
• should take into account the depth of the baguette.

If the picture is painted in dark colors, then between the baguette and the canvas should be a bright band, it will calm the paint, and the whole work will play. Conversely, if the picture is too light (depicted in winter), then you can use a silver frame with a dark green or dark blue passepartout.

Basic ways to choose a mat

• The pictures depicting movement require a broad mat, especially with the outlook of the picture going abroad;
• рама не может сливаться с refinement;
• The color of the passepartout should be slightly darker than the lightest shade in the picture;
• the bottom of the passepartout is made wider than the top and sides:
  • The vertical picture requires the top of the passe-partout wider than the sides;
  • The horizontal picture requires wider sides than the top;
  • The picture-square needs the same sides and the top of the passepartout, and the bottom should be wider.

It is important to remember that the passepartout only connects the picture, the frame and the interior. The passepartout is most often made with a width of 60 mm. It looks great if you put a slip on the edge of the passepartout - a narrow strip of baguette. Picking up a baguette and a mat, you need to look at the picture in the interior, in which it will be. You need to take into account the tone of the walls, the style of furniture and the level of lighting. A bit more difficult if several pictures are placed on the wall, their frames should not compete with each other.
