A great resource for experimenting with matting and framing your work is:
http://www.PictureFrames.com/PersonalFrameShop
I suggest that you bookmark this, as it comes in quite handy. To be able to do a virtual frame job, before clicking on the
Add It To My Cart button, makes a lot of sense. Don't you think?
I have a few ideas for this piece. This is one. However, I am going to have quite a few to frame so I want to keep the price down. However, the frame finishes off a work of art to such an extent, it is not really worth it in the end to go bargain hunting.
I do like the idea on these to put a second mat, that has the characteristics of the tree that I am drawing. So for Survivor I am considering a golden yellow. I am not sure I trust going with the yellow of the gingko leaf. I just might be brave as that is such an energetic color when in mass.

Sounds like a really useful site, I'm going to check that. Just wanted to say how wonderful this work is and how those values work to create the point of interest, and at the same time retains an abstract feel.
Thank you Felicity. I want to push the abstract a bit more after I get my fill of exploring the obvious.
I really like this new focus/style you've got going. I'm forever photographing leaf patterns so totally tuned in straight away to the subject matter!
I also think the charcoal is especially effective as it detaches it slightly from what we normally see and presents us with a new image.
Thanks Katherine.
I think the charcoal is effective since I am drawing the shadow, and it allows for such subtle values. If the image moves too quickly I can just rub it out with a chamois and start fresh again.
We tend to not spend much time thinking about shadows, and yet here they are the main event.
