Framing canvas , by rosac on Jul 22, 2018 7:15:59 GMT 1, How many of you frame your origional canvas with conservation materials? UV glass etc?
I always think a tray frame no glass looks great, but Iโm in a dilemma between framing with glass or not. I just donโt think it looks great, but equally would like my artworks protected.

Horses for courses and whatever works best for you but i feel it loses the textural look slightly under glass

Framing canvas , by craigf on Jul 22, 2018 8:26:33 GMT 1, I think the to glaze or not to glaze debate really depends on personal choice and requirements. I have known people with young children glaze to give a level of protection to the piece. I was at the Tate yesterday at the Picasso exhibition and there I saw examples with and without glass. I do think a tray frame sets off a canvas nicely, around half of mine have a frame, the others would look better for one

This is from an Article I found:
Most oil paintings will do just fine in the sun, with very little fading, so long as there is no exposed canvas (sunlight can damage canvas, but not through the oil paint.) Works made from acrylic paint are also resilient and typically can withstand sunlight.
Watercolors should never be hung in direct sunlight, as they are vulnerable to fast fading. The same goes for works on paper and photography, as even most indirect light can cause fading. This is even the case with frames made of UV plexi glass, since they cannot prevent all sun damage.

Framing canvas , by genesis on Jul 22, 2018 16:24:01 GMT 1, I personally prefer tray/floater framing, I feel when done right (not too distracting) it can compliment the artwork.
Has anyone ever left a canvas oil painting unstretched and hinge mounted it to a board, and then placed in a tray/floater frame? Any pics if so?
