Comments (8)I finished painting the frame last night and it looks great! After a fruitless hunt for Sophisticated Finishes at my local Michael's and being scared of all the caution info on the liquid gilding product, what I purchased were three colors of Martha Stewart craft paint: a medium brown in satin finish, metallic gold and metallic yellow-gold. Using a natural sea sponge, I applied the brown first and let it dry. Then I went over the frame with both of the golds, pretty much blending them together. It looks just as I'd hoped--like it's always been gold, and like it's old. It's propped up on my buffet with three or four pictures in vintage frames that I haven't hung up yet (we've only been here 2.5 years) and it looks right at home among them. I love it when a project actually turns out to be easier than I feared :)...See MoreWhat color should I paint this picture frame pls and matting color?
Comments (6)You don't put matting and glass on an oil painting.....could it be a watercolor? Whatever I like it....think I would even like the gold frame if it were matted in a creamy white like your walls and that creamy white in the picture. If it's an original don't let anyone tell you to go to a store and buy "wall art"....nor tell you that it's dated!! Original art is never "dated" just vintage or antique....See Moreladynimue
