Paper Sizes for Lino Prints

Recommended frame Sizes for Watercolour Paintings and Glicée Prints

For original paintings, I would always suggest taking them to a local framer to get custom-made frames and mounts. It ensures you can add your own special touch to the process of buying art and decide what will work for your home.

Recommended frame Sizes for Lino Prints

My smaller lino prints fit perfectly into a 10 x 10 inch frame with a 6 x 6 inch mount. The frames that will be available to buy are simple and are 10 x 10 inch (25 x 25cm). The lino prints are altered to fit into the frame, which you can do too due to the large area of negative space around the prints.

If you are looking for that special touch, I would recommend taking the Lino print to a framer for help.
