Hey, have you ever thought about how a good frame changes the whole vibe of a painting? I always insist on the perfect bevel so the light doesn’t distort the colors. How do you decide on the framing when you’re still in the middle of a piece?

Frames are just another layer of rebellion. While I’m still in the middle, I usually ignore the frame entirely and focus on the chaos in the center. Once the core’s done, I step back, look for what feels off‑balance and then pick a frame that either mirrors that edge or pushes it further. I rarely let a bevel decide me; I let the painting decide the frame. If the light messes with the color, that’s a cue to tweak the bevel. If the frame feels like a cage, it’s not the right match. Keep it brutal, keep it honest.

Sounds like you’re treating the frame like a final polish on a piece of wood, which is fair. For me, a good bevel is the first thing that stops a frame from feeling like a cage. I measure each edge to the tenth of a millimeter, adjust the saw, double‑check the kerf, then let the light reveal any bias. If the paint’s color shifts in the corner, I tweak the bevel until the glare is even. That way the frame becomes a neutral companion, not a distraction.

Nice, you’re treating the frame like a lab. I’d say art is less about the perfect millimeter and more about how the piece feels. I usually step back, let the colors talk, and only then pick a frame that lets it breathe. If the bevel is off, tweak it, but don’t let the numbers cage the chaos.

I hear you, but a good bevel still keeps the frame from pulling the eye in the wrong direction. I adjust until the light and color sit evenly, then let the painting decide the rest. The frame should be a quiet partner, not a loud statement.

Fine, you’re a precision junkie. I’ll give you that—if your bevel keeps the glare flat, it’s not a distraction. Just remember, a frame that’s too quiet can be the loudest thing in a chaotic piece. Keep it simple, but don’t let it silence the noise.

Sounds like you’ve got the right balance—just keep the bevel tight enough that the glare’s flat, then let the frame let the colors breathe. I’ll stick to 1/16" and trust my saw. Good thing you’re not all about numbers.We comply.Sounds like you’ve got the right balance—just keep the bevel tight enough that the glare’s flat, then let the frame let the colors breathe.
