As our 40 Day Wood Sale winds to an end, we’re finishing off
the sale with our oh-so popular and versatile Basics collection. This selection
is the perfect go-to, do no wrong frame collection. These mouldings are 100%
solid wood with eco-friendly resin finishes and stains. They feature
streamlined, linear profiles and offer a high style at an economical price
point. What we admire about this particular line of frames is this: they pair
nicely with almost any artwork as well as almost any décor.
Here,
we framed various types of artwork to illustrate just how adaptable this
assortment can be. From paintings to pastels to graphite and photography, these
frames look great with any medium.
For
this drawing, we used
Basics-Grey frame to accentuate the tones of the graphite on crisp white paper. We
finished it off with a bright white mat, Porcelain
(4754). The result is a refined, monochromatic look.
This
pastel drawing is framed with Basics-Walnut (AF108) and a double mat. This frame was chosen for this artwork
because of its natural wood tone. The varying brown accents in the drawing are
carried over into the hue of the walnut frame, making this piece feel natural
and polished.

“Hawaiian
Green Sea Turtle on the Island of Oahu, Hawaiian Islands” by William
Buck)
This
lively photograph of a sea turtle obtained an effortless yet effective framing
treatment. This was achieved by using a clean, white mat and a moulding with a
simple finish and stain. We used frame 533517,Basics- Coffee and a continuous core, acid-free mat board. By keeping the
frame dark and the mat white, we allow the colors in the photograph to really
take center stage.

1” by Mayer
Freed)
For
this black and white digital photograph, we chose frame 8411,Basics- Black and a white mat with wide borders. 8411 is our most favored and functional frame
from this assortment. It’s the go-to frame choice because it looks great with
just about anything! We love this frame because it can be kept muted and toned
down with a white or neutral mat or it can be played up and made bold with a
colorful mat. The goal for this photograph was to keep it timeless. The wide borders, smooth frame profile, and
black finish give this photograph a classic gallery look.

“Red
Rock” by Andrea
Placer)
This
colored pencil drawing received Basics-Cherry frame. To keep the piece from being too busy, we chose a standard
white mat (4709)
with 2 inch borders and a Cherry wood frame. Again, the reddish brown values in
the drawing are emphasized by the slight red hue of the Cherry wood frame. This
straightforward method gives this vivid drawing a delicate and sophisticated
appearance.
This
line of frames takes the guesswork out of framing. The streamlined profiles and
beautiful finishes pair nicely with any artwork and any décor. What do you
think of this collection of frames? Have you used them to frame anything
before?
