- I've been asked to make a video on how I frame my art, where I get my frames and how to finish the backs. Here is my "tell all" video! I hope you find it helpful. The website for the frames shown in the video is www.wholesaleartsframes.com/. The shadowbox frames are from Michael's. I am not sponsored by either business!

I really liked your video. It gave me some ideas on what to do with some of my paintings. The art work you do on your paintings are awesome, keep up the good work.
Really pleased to hear your feedback! Thank you!
Your shadow box idea is so exciting.
It really makes a statement...I sell a lot of them. 😊
Thanks for taking the time to explain this Chris
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge. It was very helpful
My pleasure, Leigh! Thank you for watching!
Ty for framing info. That is another art u have mastered.

What a great informational video, I learned a lot. Again thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Ah, good! Glad you found it helpful! 😊
Chris, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I agree many pieces are made special in frame. I’m actually going to try my hand at making them with the help of my father in law 🤗!!! Btw your art is incredible 🎨. ❤️, Pam
Making them is really the way to go! My husband is a (retired) building contractor, but you know the old expression, "the shoemakers children go barefoot"!!
Ty for sharing all your helpful knowledge.
My pleasure! Thank you for the feedback, Patricia!
You are so talented. You have to have an "eye" for art to be able to know what works on a painting and you DO.
Thanks for watching and for your kind feedback!
Great colors and great info about the framing.
Thanks for watching, Sandi! 😘
Thank you chris. This is invaluable.

Hi Chris , thank you so much for the information! Ian from Miami, Florida . The wholesale arts it’s just 3 Miles from my home!!! So excited going tomorrow! Thanks you!! I’ll let you know...
Lucky you! I'm so jealous!! I have to pay for shipping. They're having a sale this weekend!
Great information and sources. So many of the paintings you showed are outstanding. Your artistry and techniques are awe-inspiring. Thank you for this video.

I love your actual paintings on your pours. They’re terrific.
Thanks very much, Sandy! 😘
Thank you Chris! Have a good evening and thank you for the information!
You are most welcome! Thank You!
Thanks so much for these helpful ideas. ❤
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Wow! A wealth of information here! Thanks Chris. Your embellishments are stunning!
Thank you...glad you found it helpful! 😘
Awesome tips! I definitely will use your frame shop reference. And I never would have thought to ask about Michael’s and using frame “scraps”. Thank you so much!
I don't ask Michael's, but rather my local small business frame shop. He makes frames in standard sizes from his scraps of custom molding...that's what I buy. 😘
What a great idea. Thank you for sharing and your work is so good. I wish I could draw
Thanks for watching, Sandy!
I tried some of these suggestions.. I Really appreciate you sharing this!! 👍🏼♥️
My pleasure! Thanks for watching, Tina! 😘
Your paintings are so beautiful!
Thanks so much! A bunch of my work is on sale on my website if you care to take a look...www.chrissypaints.com
Great video. Thank you! I love the different frames. I’m new to acrylic pouring and wanted some ideas on how to display the canvases. This was so helpful!
I'm pleased to hear that, Sharon! Thanks for watching! 😘
Some great ideas for framing there, i hadnt though of letting the painting stand proud of a shadow box frame, it looks really effective. Some excellent paintings were shown there too, you are so talented! Thanks for sharing 💜
Always a pleasure...thank you, Kate! 😘
Excellent information. Thank you for taking the time to show us how you frame your art.
My pleasure...thanks for watching!
Thank you great information, Your painting are lovely.

Thanks, Laurie!
The frames really finished the pieces! Thanks for your tips!❤
My pleasure! Glad you found it helpful. 😊
That was really helpful. Thank you Chris!
I'm happy you found it helpful! 😊
Very informative. I’ve never taped the wire on the back but I will start doing that. Great video! 😀😀😀
Yes, it saves both mine and my buyer's fingers!
WoW! Thank you Chris for this invaluable information. Some artists have husbands that make frames for their art. I’m sure there are some artists that make their own frames, but for those of us that need to find frames for our art this was really great info. Thanks so much.
My husband is a retired master carpenter and I still buy them...you know the saying, "the shoemakers children go barefoot"!?
Great video! I found it when looking for framing instruction but I must say your artwork is exquisite!
Thanks so much Leslie, and welcome to my channel! 😘
Thank you so much for this really helpful video!
My pleasure...thanks for watching!

Hi Chris....I just discovered you and your beautiful artwork and I'm so glad!! 😊 Your paintings and pours are so beautiful and unique! I wanted to thank you for these great framing ideas! I'm always at a loss as to how to finish a piece of our artwork and now you've given me some great ideas....so again...I thank you for sharing. 😊
Lesli you've made my day with your great comment! I'm glad to be of help! I hope you enjoy my other videos, too. 😘
@@ChrisJeszeck .... without a doubt I know that I will enjoy ALL of your videos...🥰 I kinda binge watched a bunch last night 😊 starting with your very first video...🖌️
I know I'm in Scotland but I'm hooked on American artists. I have just come across your site and only watched your recent circle pour. Its stunning. So i clicked on your own page and come across this exciting video. Your framing tips are great even if i don't have a Michael's. I loved your last one where you covered the back. Its stunning. I always get a mess on my canvas even if I've taped it. Haha. I have an illness that gives me shakey hands at times so I'm not the cleanest artist but have ocd so I clean up well. I'm off to binge on your videos now. Catch up soon.
Love from Scotland
Sandra xx

Thank you!
Thanks so much for doing this video. It was so informative.
Thanks for watching, Judy! I'm glad you found it helpful. 😊
Thank you so much! I have been buying frames only a few at a time because they were so expensive.
Glad you found it helpful, Elizabeth! 😘
Very helpful, thank you!
My pleasure...thanks for watching, Lorraine!

Very helpful! TY!

😮 love ❤️ your beautiful artwork
Thanks so much for your kind feedback!
@@ChrisJeszeck … Chris can I contact via email please
@eliz1957 certainly! chrissypaints@yahoo.com
@@ChrisJeszeck …thank you
@@ChrisJeszeck … ok email sent … PLEASE don’t think I am that dumb … I just don’t know where to start …I am slow with trying to find things and how to do it 😞🤣😞🤣
Thank you.... you have some good ideas... and yes, Michaels is expensive.
Thanks for watching, Olivia!
Awesome, thanks so much for all yout tips and tricks. I need a nail gun now 🤣 I'll definitely check the site out where you get your frames. IMO it really transforms the pieces when you add a frame. 💙
Thank you! I agree about the transforming! The site is a bit tricky to navigate, but worth the effort. 😊
@@ChrisJeszeck I checked it out last night. Very cool stuff on there. Now I just have to figure out which ones I want to hang. Lol
Thank you for information.
It's my pleasure...thanks for watching, Virginia!
Thank you. Newbie here. Been wondering.
My pleasure! Welcome to my channel!
I recently "found" you on you tube. Decided to check out your work and while there I found something I have been interested in doing and that is the canvas on frames. I had done some in a smaller version a couple of years ago but not like yours..
I am having a problem finding the right size for the larger canvas such as 9x12--10x10. would appreciate your suggestions.
By the way your tutorials on embellishment are GREAT! Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks for finding me! Are you in the US? Michael's has shadow box frames (Studio Decor) that work with 9x12 canvasses and anothertype (can't recall the name) that is square and work well with 10x10's.
Chris I love the mermaid painting do you have a video on it?..ok back to your video 🤭
Sorry, no...I did that one before I started my channel. 😊
Thank you so much!
My pleasure...thanks for watching!
Thanks for the info Chris, although being in Oz no good for me but the ideas are great. Bit sad you kept putting your art work down..be proud of everything you do dear lady. You do beautiful work. Especially loved the mermaid, the spanish dancer, the fox and the squirrel. Have you thought of just silent videoing yourself doing your gorgeous art works (other than pours)? I for one would be happy to watch and learn without it being an actual tutorial. - I love to just have art videos playing while I paint, its very relaxing...have a great day and again, thankyou. Btw if you use self tapping screws your hubby doesnt need to drill and your frame might not split, also the backs you forget to tape just touch them up with same colour paint its much less noticeable 🙂 Im sure you know that but others might not think of it🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! I'll try to be more kind to myself...you're not the first to mention it! But I've never been one to gush...that will rarely happen! 😘
Thank you!
Thank you for watching, Tanya!
Thank you, Chris! I can tell you are quite an artist, an artist that can do wonderful pours, but awesome fine art, too! Great tip on the customer framing shops! On your staple back canvasses that you cram, do you cover the back? The staples are a real sign that the canvas is not an expensive one. Just wondering if that impacts sales when customers see the back?
I've never had any complaints, but I don't charge much when I use an inexpensive canvas. A framed 10x20 inch pour is $60. I do tape the back, though, so it appears as neat as possible.
@@ChrisJeszeck thanks so much! I knew you’d have a solution.
Hi Chris. I love your art. The embellishments art stunning! Could you please tell me the brand at Micheals for the 12x12 frame for the rounds and which brand for the 8x8 frame for the 8x8 canvas. Thank you in advance. 😀
Thanks so much! They are both Studio Decor brand shadowboxes, in 9x9 and 14x14 inch sizes. 😘
Hi Chris. I love your work and how you embellish over your paint pours. I’m not nearly so talented but do enjoy dabbling in different paint pour techniques. I do absolutely need to keep my costs under control and your framing suggestions are great. I am unable to locate the actual website you are referring to for wholesale arts frame.com. When I type that in I get a link to Wayfair or Wish or my local custom frame business. All very expensive. Can you send me the actual link to your site that you use. Those prices are awesome! Thanks.
Hi Jackie...thank you so much for your nice feedback. I fixed the link for the frame source...should now work for you. 😘
Great idea....what do you sell the first one you shared....love it
Thanks, Michelle! Do you mean the small mermaid painting? It's on my website for $95. (www.chrissypaints.com)
This is such great information. Can you tell me where you get your rounds and what are they made of?
I got them at Michael's, long ago. They were actually a plate charger. I think they now sell mdf rounds for painting, all sizes, but I haven't tried them.
Thanks
Thanks for watching, Anne!
Chris, were do you get you frames (like the one in the fruit painting)? I just love your work.
That particular one was a custom frame I had made at a local framing shop. The less fancy ones are from Michael's and a wholesale place which I linked in the description box. 😉
For the one squirrel picture backing, would it come out smooth and better to you visually if you painted it with the matching color?
Thanks for the suggestion, but I already painted over that part of the pour with the greens. I'm not terribly bothered by it...the squirrel is the star. 😊 Thanks for watching!
What varnish have you used?
The shine on canvas is really amazing ♥️
Liquitex Gloss Varnish. Here's a link to a video showing how I varnish: th-cam.com/video/ruFuiSTBwYE/w-d-xo.html
I just watched your video on frames, and would like to order some, my question is, if you have a 12x12 canvas, do you order a 12x12 frame, or do you have to order it a little bigger?? Sorry new to paint pouring.
You order a frame the size of the canvas, my friend. Thank you for watching and happy painting! 😊
@@ChrisJeszeck i received the frames I ordered, they worked out great, thanks for the info.
Hi Chris. Thanks for this video. I just received some from Michael's. So you glue the back? Good to know. What glue do you prefer? I just want to make sure I use something strong enough that doesn't lose its strength over time. Thanks.
Hi Loretta...I'd have to watch the video to see what you're asking about; is it when I glued cardstock on the back? I don't do that anymore...I'm very careful to tape the back before pouring. But if that's what you're referring to, I use a bit of Super Glue (applied in an "L") on each corner and an inch here and there along the sides. Holds just fine. Let me know if you meant something else! You can always email me at chrissypaints@yahoo.com. 😊
Hi Chris. Thanks. You took one of your actual canvas paintings and glued it to the backing on the frame.
Ah yes, Super Glue once again! A good amount; no problems and it's been years. I've done many, many.
I purchased some ready-made frames but the canvases don't exactly fit into the frame (8x10). Do you push the canvas in even though it may stick out in the back some???
Yes, that's no problem. Most of my professionally framed canvasses (mine and a few professional artists paintings) protrude in the back, and the frame does not sit flush with the wall.
@@ChrisJeszeck thank you!
If the back is a oops because I forgot t paint the back ridge.
Yes, that is certainly another option! 😊
What do you with the glass inserts if you do not use them?
I have a friend who makes fused glass art...she takes them. 😊
Very informative. I am new to acrylic art.
Please ,how do I display pour on a ceramic tile.?
I don't pour on tiles (maybe I should!), but I would suggest a shadowbox frame to display, perhaps? Or even a small metal easel you can buy at the dollar store or Michael's. Thanks for watching!
@@ChrisJeszeck Living in Jamaica, 🇯🇲
Maybe glue in a serving tray? Find a frame you like and fill with tiles? Little easels should be easy to find or even make?
@@ChrisJeszeck What a good idea.
Still looking for heat resistant varnish,can"t get resin
How you preserve your painting without glass framing...what you apply after finishing the painting
I use Liquitex high gloss varnish, mixed half and half with water and applied in multiple thin coats, at least 6.
Omg the cat painting! Is it available?
Long gone, I'm afraid! But email me if you want a commission! chrissypaints@yahoo.com
I checked out your source for frames, I didn't see any priced for 10.00
I buy the polystyrene 313-VIII series. A 12x12 is under $10 if you buy three or more.
Shame its not any good for me. I'm in Scotland haha. Xx
Awww...I thank you for watching, anyway!
What’s the name of that company???
The link to the company is in the description box. 😉
Showing us the pictures that you’ve already framed doesn’t tell us how you framed them… I really useless
The purpose of the video was to show ideas for framing and where to get them, not HOW to frame...there are plenty of videos that will teach you that. However, I believe I mentioned that my husband uses a nail gun with small nails to secure. Sorry you found my video useless.
This is such great information. Can you tell me where you get your rounds and what are they made of?
They are wooden chargers from Michael's...don't know that they sell them anymore though...
