Presentation counts when you are trying to attract customers. These beautiful paintings are by Aline Lotter. Notice the frames when you go to a gallery, art show or museum. These are oil paintings and do not need glass.
Another example of frames. The two large paintings at the top are on "float" or "floater" frames. These are acrylic paintings by Linda Feinberg. Framing stretched canvases in this type of frame is easily accomplished with screws, a screwdriver and wire. If you have been painting for a while, you know how expensive it is to frame your works (photography too). There are courses available on framing and they are a worthwhile investment of your time and money.
Other frames in the example above are one with a linen type liner (the white looks a little like a mat) and a standard frame from a local store.
Watercolor and pastel paintings require a bit more work to frame, but look beautiful with a mat and glass. Even a simple pencil or pen sketch will become "professional" looking with a frame and more so with a mat and frame. You can test this out easily by using a program like Photoshop (or even Microsoft Word) by adding a frame to your image.
