No shadowy colors dropping off a rounded edge were allowed-All four outer edges had to be crisp and clean. To take advantage of this arrangement, I submit a really good photo of an artwork and then they calculate what size prints they can make for me, based on that photo.įirst of all, I immediately had many photos rejected because the imagery/colors in the painting didn’t “bleed” all the way out to the edge. The platform of my artist’s website is called Artspan, and one of their services to their artists is they will mat and frame any of my prints for my customers. Anything beyond that required custom mats and frames-much pricier.īut still, I didn’t truly put two and two together until I photographed my paintings and sketch book images and posted them to my website to sell as Art Prints. Frames seemed to come in a limited number of shapes and sizes. Then I started shopping online for frames for my canvases. I never thought much about the measurements or the shape (i.e. And when I cropped photos in general, I only paid attention to what I wanted to include or omit. I concentrated on accurate color and sharp focus, and some of my photos showed the edge of the painting (where the canvas started wrapping over the sides). When I began work on my artist’s website, I didn’t pay much attention to cropping the photos I took of my work-I just tried to get the entire picture in, even though it wasn’t exactly perfect in shape. Mostly, I thought of in terms of “small, medium, large, and too big for me to afford.” Size and shape didn’t matter because I was just using them to practice painting. I bought whatever boards or canvases were on sale. In two-dimensional paintings, most aspect ratios describe rectangles and squares.Īs a beginning painter, I never really paid attention to aspect ratios.
Aspect ratios are a shorthand way of describing the shape of things. An aspect ratio is the ratio between the length and width of something.
