How to frame your painting -2


Example 2. Complementary colors of wall and painting with transition light gold between. 1800's style rococo style
frame matches swirling wave. The important feature here is the 'value' differences between the frame and the wall
and the frame and the painting.

Example 3. Complementary again. Here the frame and the picture provide a unified package where the rust color of
the painting is made even more dominant with the matched frame. This allows the wall green to work.
