Question: I had an oil painting done for my parents, and am now trying to frame it. Is there a special way to do it? Can the glass touch the painting? Will the painting sweat? Or dry out and crack?
Answer: Oil paintings need to breath, so should never be framed under glass. And are usually also not backed by more than a paper dust cover. Below are a few sites that will explain to you all that you need to know about having an oil painting framed,from doing it yourself to having it framed professionally. It wil also explain to you the different mountings and various sizes of standard canvases. http://reviews.ebay.com/How-to-Frame-Your-New-Original-Oil-Painting_W0QQugidZ10000000000022883?ssPageName=BUYGD:CAT:-1:LISTINGS:2 http://www.pictureframes101.com/oil-painting-framing-advice.aspx http://www.cherishedmemoriesinart.com/FRAMINGINFO2.HTM Cheers!
