A picture frame's rebate ( or rabbet in the USA ) does not cover or hide from view a great deal of the art being framed. Typically, it is  be around 5 to 7 mm, depending on the moulding ( picture frame ) manufacturer. The circle in the accompanying illustration shows a typical rebate width and ensuing artwork coverage. This "covering" of the artwork normally occurs with all picture frames an photo frames and there are no simple or inexpensive ways to avoid it.  Of course, one could use  a clip frame,  which not being a "proper" frame, has no intrusive rebate and therefore can display the entire artwork  but clip frames are a very different product ...

In most cases, though not all, yes, a rolled up painting on canvas can be framed.  The canvas can be unrolled, allowed to relax and either simply stretched, or fully framed.  Sometimes though, either or both methods cannot be performed.  Invariably, this is because the painting was painted not in quality or professional artists' oils  but in much more common,  acrylic, ceiling or house paint.  This is frequently true of the large, popular, holiday paintings  tourists  bring back from many South East Asian destinations. House paints aren't  meant to be used for painting art,  but because these are  so much cheaper,  poor, penurious artists often use them.  When this happens, none is  the wiser.  This is largely because when ...

To comfortably stretch a canvas over a strainer frame having 2 cm thick bars, a canvas margin of about 4 to 5 cm will be needed for sufficient gripping.  The canvas is firmly gripped with with a pair of canvas pliers, pulled, held in position,  and then stapled in place, as shown in the image here. If the stretcher bar is thicker, add this extra thickness to the above, recommended thickness. The margins of the canvas should have at least this width of all four sides of its sides. This goes for all canvases, whether gallery-wrapped or not. This margin width will allow for the wrapping of the canvas around and over the four sides of the stretcher frame bars. All for canvas margins must be pulled tightly and stapled evenly all ...

No, you don't only have put a canvas painting in a frame,  you have other choices. The first choice, and most popular one is to stretch it over a strainer or stretcher frame. That means first making the frame and stretching your canvas over it tightly. That way you won't even see the frame as it'll be hidden inside the stretched canvas. The second choice is to mount or glue down your canvas art (only if it's an inexpensive or of no real value item) onto a board, just as you would a print or poster, and then put a picture frame around it. With this  choice, most Customers choose not to have glass fitted to picture frames this tends to  take away the feel and texture of oil paintings on canvas.
