How best to frame an oil painting of a hilly scenery on canvas?

The tree is the centre piece of the artwork and from where one can see the hill and houses midst other trees in the background. The sun is also shining down on the scene painted. Does it need a glass put in front if frames are used and what frames are best? I think glass might spoil the oil -canvas look ---so pls. any suggestions?How best to frame an oil painting of a hilly scenery on canvas?
oil paintings are not framed with glass or mat because it will cause damage to that painting over time. that being said you can mostly use any frame you feel compliments the piece. from your description it sounds like a classic landscape painting, usually classical frames (ornate or frames from the artworks time era) go well with that subject. at most frame shops you can buy some frames without glass and can get ';frame clips'; to clip in your piece, this is pretty much the cheapest and easiest solution. However if you see a frame you like that has glass as long as the frame is reasonably thick enough you can simply remove the glass and backing from it.





just measure out your canvas, or better yet bring it with you to a frame shop, and see if there are any ready made frame's that suite your work. if your canvas is an odd size you might have to consider custom framing.





i dont know the dimensions of it but typically the bigger the painting the thicker the frame should be, so keep that in mind. if you post an image i might be able to suggest more specifically.





hope this helps :) good luckHow best to frame an oil painting of a hilly scenery on canvas?
Oil paintings are not framed under glass.





You can either put it straight into the frame of your choice, or use a 2-3 inch wide canvas liner (like a mat, but made out of mitered molding covered with canvas) for a bit of visual separation between the painting and the frame. This costs more, because not only is the liner extra, but it makes the overall frame size larger.





Look around in galleries and frame shops, to see how other oil paintings are framed.
A good coat (or two) of varnish, once the painting is completely dry 鈥?6-12 months for thin applications of paint and years for impasto, will protect it from most problems and still allow the audience to appreciate the oil on canvas. Glass might make a good temporary solution to protect it while it completely dries.
