Frequently Asked Questions...
Should I use acrylic gloss on my painting or put glass over it in the frame?
I have a textured acrylic painting that I am working on...
It has lots of sands, glitters, glosses and stuff...
The edges are matte because I used an airbrush around the edge... the center is still glossy.
I want to even out the entire painting without loosing the texture difference.
Is this a job for a glaze or glass?
oops - meant losing not "loosing"...
Answer:
I use lots of textures on my paintings, sands, stucco and gels to build up amazing textures. Some of the areas are not built up. I always finish a painting using Liquetex acrylic gloss medium (minimum two coats) here is the trick:
Do not go back and fourth with the brush as this will make things glarey. First Put the painting flat. Follow and mimic the brush strokes and use the same size brush as you used on the painting .. When you come to the textured part be careful not to let it pool or run.
If you are ever not sure about an outcome with any varnish, make 3. small sample painting cards with some textures, glitter and flat surface paint , and just varnish to see how it looks. Put one behind glass and the third I would use an acrylic spray varnish ( it comes in a ready to use spray can at the art store) and see which one I liked best.

How to Choose the Perfect Magnetic Photo Frame
If you’ve ever shopped for a magnetic picture frame, then you probably know that it can be confusing finding the right type of magnetic frame you want. That’s because there are two different types of magnetic frames that are both called the same thing. In this article you’ll learn the difference between these two types of magnetic frames, so you’ll be able to find exactly the right type of magnetic frame you want quickly and easily.
Traditional Magnetic Photo Frames
Traditional magnetic picture frames are the ones you have probably seen for years and are most familiar to you. They are your garden variety magnetic frame found on refrigerators, file cabinets and other fun metal surfaces. These magnetic frames are commonly made of plastic, acrylic or even paper. The back of the frame has a magnet secured to it that allows the frame to attach to any metal surface.
These magnetic picture frames are called many different things - magnetic refrigerator frames, acrylic magnetic frames, clear magnetic photo frames just to name a few. Because they're simple to use and inexpensive, these are the type of magnetic frames most readily found.
Because of the versatility of magnetic frames and the fact that they can attach to any metal surface, they are popular for both home and office. Many truck drivers use acrylic magnetic frames in the cab of their trucks to remind them of their family at home. During their long road trips away from home they're able to keep family photos close by. Parents love them because they’re a simple way to display their children’s accomplishments. This type of magnet frame is also a favorite of school kids because they can be used to display photos in metal lockers.
Two great features of magnetic picture frames, and why they are so popular, are their low cost and their durability. If they get damaged or lost, they are easy and inexpensive to replace.
Modern Magnetic Picture Frames
Modern magnetic photo frames are like regular picture frames that can be hung on a wall or displayed on a flat surface. The difference that really makes this frame stand out is how the picture is displayed. In a modern magnetic picture frame the picture is secured to the frame by magnets, which makes the picture appear to be floating in the frame.
That is why these magnetic photo frames are sometimes referred to as floating frames and why they are so appealing. These magnetic frames are available in a variety of sizes and styles and are generally made from metal, glass, plastic or acrylic. The modern magnetic photo frame isn't as inexpensive as the traditional magnetic frame but it's still very affordable.
The modern magnetic photo frame is very versatile and can hold a variety of picture sizes and can even hold multiple photos.
Now that you understand the different types of magnetic frames that are available, you can shop for your magnetic picture frame with confidence.
