FRAMING

Framing art with passpartout, MAT

Understanding the size of the art

My art comes in different sizez and shapes. The listed size actually refers to the size of the passpartou/MAT/mount that will best accommodate your art, NOT the size of the paper or drawing itself.

The size of the actual paper:

When you receive your art you’ll find that the paper is actually larger than the listed size. This is because I add a white border to the image. The border both makes it easier to use a passpartout, and aesthetically I like the look of the border.

The size of the actual image:

You will find that the image itself is SMALLER than the listed size. I size this way so that when the art is placed into a passpartout that matches the listed size, there is a small white border exposed around the image, and most importantly the signature/title line at the bottom is exposed (If there is one).
