| Finishing Touches
We provide this section to share ideas and techniques regarding framing and the finishing touches of your painting. In the process, you will achieve the museum quality workmanship at a very affordable price.
Do you sell and provide frames with the paintings?
At Arts Heaven, we do not sell frames with the painting. There are reasons for this.
Frames are very personal and we leave the decision to you.
Every home has its own design and architectural characteristic, therefore it is usually best that our customers choose and decide the frame to match their decoration.
At Arts Heaven, we provide you the ability to view any painting in 40 different styles of frame. You can preview and decide which style fits best with the painting you have in mind. This is a great visual cue providing you with ideas when selecting your frame.
How to achieve a museum quality look?
To achieve the museum quality look, you will need to fit the painting with the perfect frame. Framing is very important as it add value and elegance to the whole painting. We always suggest our customers to spend as much as possible on the frame. Do not try to match the price of the frame with the purchase price of the painting; this is a mistake. Many of our customer spend as much as $300 to $600 for quality museum frame. Your painting will looked stunning fitted with the right frame and you will impress all your friends.
Final finishing touch
We suggest applying a layer of colorless varnish to the painting to protect and enhance. Varnishing is the professional recommended process to protect the painting from dirt, moisture and scuffing. Varnish comes in two types; matte and gloss. It is available at your local art supplies. We recommend "Grumbacher Damar Varnish" spray-on or "Winsor & Newton Dammar Varnish" brush-on. Please read and follow the direction from the manufacturer for best result.
 
Important:
Do not varnish an oil painting until it is completely dry; usually 6-8 months. Even though a painting has a dry surface, it is still drying below the surface. Varnishing too soon after receiving your painting can result in cracking of the painting.
