]]>Many people in the creative field believe that passion and creativity is all you need, but this is so far from the case. In order to have a creative ground to walk on, you must have the technique to back it up. In order to compose a song, you have to be able to play an instrument. In order to paint a beautiful masterpiece, you have to be able to… well, paint.
For some reason, many seem to associate technique with being robotic and cold. To be fair, it’s true that technique without passion can result in advanced, yet soulless work. However, that doesn’t mean you’re supposed to neglect the importance of technical skill as a result. The importance is to work on both, and find a way to seamlessly blend the two as one.

]]>It’s best to keep things simple, so the focus remains on what’s inside the frame. Thin wood gallery frames in blacks, whites, and natural wood finishes are always a good choice as they work well with any type of art. If you like something a bit extravagant, try metallic frames.
Avoid frames that are matchy-matchy as gallery walls look better with frames that look like they were added over time.
For most artwork, you’ll want to frame it, but there are always exceptions like stretched canvas pieces or old oil paintings. If the piece is valuable, frame it to keep it safe from air and the elements.
Make sure you keep the matting simple by using a white backdrop. For darker pieces, forgo the matting and stick with a black frame to make the piece look frameless.
