Matting paper and panels can be incredibly simple. #1. Create your work. #2. Take your work to a frame shop and have them professionally mat it. They can even install it in a frame of your choice. The problem with this, for me, is that I am a small business that struggles to maintain a good flow of revenue, and professional framing services can be quite expensive. These are some of my methods for making your work more presentable while keeping costs low.

Living abroad forced me to scale down the size of my paintings. I had very little storage space and my production level rose to the point that I was creating paintings faster than I was selling them. I started using paper for experimental works, but after developing a suitable prep method with what I had available to me, paper quickly became a viable option for smaller works.
I, like many artists who paint with oils, became dependent on mineral spirits and Turpentine for cleaning and thinning. This is how I kicked the habit.
Having trouble managing your paintings in progress, drying, and done? Establishing an effective system doesn't have to be difficult, complicated, or costly.
