How to Frame Watercolour Art Properly

Watercolour needs space to breathe.

Best practices:

• White or off-white mat

• 2–3 inch mat border

• Natural wood, light oak, or slim black frames

• Glass (not acrylic for originals)

Avoid heavy ornate frames — they overpower delicate washes.

Framing protects and elevates your investment.
