Framing a Watercolor

Of display, light and wood…

Stephano: Nice picture. Quite delicate. Any ideas for how you'd like it framed?

Basil: Something classic to match the age of the drawing itself maybe. A simple wooden frame with a subtle design to complement the intricate details of the watercolor.

Stephano: What about the color of the frame? Would you prefer something that blends in with the drawing or stands out to make a statement?

Basil: Blending in. Focus on the artwork itself rather than the frame.

Stephano: Good choice. And where do you plan to hang it? Is it going in a well-lit area or somewhere more subdued?

Basil: I'm thinking of placing it in my study, which gets plenty of natural light during the day but isn't directly exposed to sunlight.

Stephano: Alright, I suggest using UV protective glass then, to prevent any fading.

Voice-over

A hundred years ago, some architects used their drawings as an artistic exercise. No doubt it also helped secure the contract.
