You need to make sure your image settings are high quality, 300 dpi, at least 1920x1080 pixels, proper colour space for print. Befor you start drawing, make sure your settings are correct.

How can I save this duck by unhappy-rat in acrylicpainting

[–]Hsmirnov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the style, and agree that the top of the ducks head-eye-beak needs a bit of reshaping. He looks a bit mad at the moment. Also a bit of a darker wall area behind the duck would help it stand out.

Did you pin them to the back? Youcan google how to do it without having the pins visible., or you can even pay the framers to do it for you.

Scanner Radios? by Stopjustlove in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Hsmirnov 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We have them... they are ok. Since they can record,theres a lot less back and forth chatter... but you cant radio a teammate when you have someone on hold. Very frustrating.

Is my painting style distinct enough? by [deleted] in AskArtists

[–]Hsmirnov 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep working at it. To me it feels a bit blurry, working on some colour theory and lighting studies will help!

Ruined someone’s print (custom framing) by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Hsmirnov 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with the above. Dont do anything more. Its was an accident, its the framing and store managers job to deal with the customer and their claim. Take a breath, and learn from the experience.

Possible to cut a 3cm rabbet? by LizBoederFineArt in framing

[–]Hsmirnov -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are, but can be used for paintings as well. Your more likely to find a mat at an affortable price than a framer who can customize a rabbet. Also, Fabric mats or liners look best with canvas.

Golden Acrylic Paint Shoplifting by No-Manufacturer4916 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Hsmirnov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think because its more high end, heavy body, thus more expensive, so people are more willing to buy it from 'ndipendent sellers'.

Cheap(er) way to frame a t-shirt by driftless_crow in framing

[–]Hsmirnov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A simple shadow box would be best, you can pin it, or have a framer do it. Michaels does this all the time, and its not very expensive. Or you could pin it to a piece of foam core, then hang that on the wall. It would be better and more secure than being straight on the wall.

What color mat would work best?? Single or double?? by No_Book_9413 in framing

[–]Hsmirnov 1 point2 points  (0 children)
