Why do you do a lot of pieces in the 17 x 23 inch size? Can they be framed and matted to another size?
I enjoy working with 18 x 24 size Strathmore watercolor paper. I tape off the borders and work within approx. 17 x 23 inches. Most of my paintings can be cropped or matted to 16 x 22 or in some cases 16 x 20. You can purchase a mat in a size that you think compliments the art and then get a ready made frame that fits and you can frame the work at a reasonable price. Or you can have it custom framed. Framing is expensive, that's why I try to keep my art affordable in the first place. Watercolors and pastels have to be protected and framed. But, they also look so beautiful and brilliant under glass.
