Using mock-up rooms

Using mock-up rooms and settings to give a visual representation of your art

I haven’t used mock-ups much in showing my art, but realize it gives the viewer (potential client) an idea of how the piece of artwork might look in different settings/contexts or living spaces. A mock-up is also useful to give an idea of the size of the artwork and how it will enhance a room as most of us have difficulty visualizing how a piece might look.

And…. one of the main elements for an impressive portfolio is the visual presentation of your project.

Art Deco Lady

Here I used a vintage style mock-up room to display this art deco lady print so you can get an idea of what it looks like in an actual room setting. I suppose the advantage of having a mock-up room is that you can see the dimensions of the artwork or print, the disadvantage might be that the room style is just not to your taste! I would imagine that it is also best to give a couple of views of the artwork, both the artwork itself and also in a room setting mock-up. Art Deco Lady image before & after using a mock-up display

Using a piece of furniture as a mock-up setting

This dresser mock-up was created by a talented artist friend of mine, Marius. As you can see it gives the horse image a stunning display setting. Horses in the clouds image
