Glad that I stumbled upon your blog. Most collectors end up throwing the original frame away so that they can buy their own frame. So don't spend that much on frames.<BR/><BR/>Warm regards,<BR/><BR/>Brian Sherwin-- Myartspace BlogBalhatainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08812426376810899256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092491529811804199.post-12477135188107571442008-05-18T18:02:00.000-04:002008-05-18T18:02:00.000-04:00Hi Nat,<BR/>I'm a California artist. I understand the problem. I've been painting on canvas panels especially for online sales. You can role and stick them in a mailing tube. In the event you do show them, you can put them on stretcher bars or just frame them flat. (The panels cut my cost-thus what I can charge for them).<BR/>Anyway come visit my blog, also.<BR/>Vikkiredchairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00843590983216729306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092491529811804199.post-31729775196688819622008-02-03T15:01:00.000-05:002008-02-03T15:01:00.000-05:00All quiet on the Nat front.

However, it does indeed sell for more, and has a greater value, if it is matted and framed. Plus, you usually get to choose size, color, style to enhance your art. Always get the "UV" glass for added value, and be sure to sell the work and recover all your costs, including labor.

As far as perceived value (hope I don't hurt anyone's feelings here) is that the more expensive <B>looking</B> the frame, the more expensive the artwork. <BR/><BR/>JasonFleasGanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09927416903127410833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092491529811804199.post-3122968255757473312008-01-03T18:48:00.000-05:002008-01-03T18:48:00.000-05:00I, too, am starting to paint my watercolors onto canvas and then spray them to protect the 'water'. The perceived value is evident. Some of my prints look as good or better than the original and people would rather pay the lower price for the print with the same visual effect.<BR/>Trudy Robertson, TruDysigns.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
