With the acrylic, the painting and decorative paper is placed between two sheets of
a magnetic acrylic frame and placed on the chrome easel. With the brass, the painting is placed
between the decorative paper and two sheets of glass enclosed within a brass frame that is soldered closed.

Try not to touch the painted area because the painting needs to be in a frame for protection. Carefully place the painting and decorative paper between the magnetic acrylic sheets. Handle the painting by the edges. Opening and touching the painting could possibly smudge or make it run, especially if moisture touches it. The brass frame is permanently closed and will not open.
