I have a color picture it's an oriental style picture whether you are doing black and white
or color. It's really important to think about what you are putting around it, where it's
going to hang, what's important to the picture to make it pop. There are things you can put
down there that will just make the picture go away and there are things you can put around
it that can make the picture just pop. We're going to experiment on what to do today. A
chose a big black thick frame to give you a clue to as what not to do this, most oriental
art has either a black or gold frame around it. They tend to lean in those two directions
but you want to think about the ratio size verses your picture. As you can see this one
is real deep and pretty big wide, I have a different one that is also pretty big it gives
you some clues about what not to do. As I put that down on there the frame looks as
big as the picture it's not going to give you a good look in the end. Cause of the fact
that it over powers the picture. When you think about a little picture like this you
probably want to think about something that mimics as well as it enhances as I put that
one down on there it all became clear and it's quite nice to the eye. Or the big one
that I had on there all you saw was the frame. You can try different patterns and sizes they
tend to give you a little extra punch to your picture this one happens to bring out some
dido's in your picture. This one has a shape that brings you down into the picture but
it's all the sizes that are different and I chose them purposely to give you a clue
about what you might want to pick verses the one you don't want to pick.
