I sometimes paint picture frames to a colour that suits the painting. I usually use artists' acrylics or Dulux eco range. The frames for little group of lavender themed paintings above were transformed from various browns to a soft grey with a hint of aqua using Farrow and Ball's skylight.

They look great Tessa. How did you prepare the frames for painting?
It depends on the frame. If the finish is shiny I sand it first with a fine grade of sand paper. Sometimes I use a water based undercoat/primer although the emulsion part works well as a primer on untreated wood.
the frames look lovely indeed .. very much suiting the paintings. well done :)
What a brilliant idea Tessa, they look fantastic.
Gorgeous idea
