Having a good portfolio is essential in order to present art. The portfolio is one of the best on the market. Very simply put, a portfolio is like a briefcase that allows you to store your art in a way that makes it presentable as well as allowing you to keep it safe. With a portfolio, you will really struggle to keep you art tidy and safe, whether you are a professional artist, or whether you simply enjoy arts. Luckily, it isn't difficult to find a good portfolio so long as you know where to look. You could consider a whole range of stores that specialize in art supplies, which are available in most major cities, for example. However, you should only use the art supply stores to look at the portfolios that are available, as you are likely to be able to purchase them online at a greatly reduced price.
If you are looking for art supplies, there are many stores available online. This means that you should not have any difficulties finding portfolios at very affordable prices. Do make sure that the store you purchase from is a legitimate store and does not deal in counterfeit goods. It is quite easy to recognize a good online retailer, as these will have excellent customer services and will be very open and transparent in their policies and procedures. Of course, they should also have customer reviews on all their products that allow you to ascertain the products are actually value for money and of high quality.
So what do you actually do with portfolio cases? Of course, they are designed to store and keep art, but how do you place it in there to make it look good? There are a number of unwritten rules about how to present art within a portfolio. Many feel that placing their art in date order will demonstrate how they have improved over time. If you are in school, presenting your art in this way is absolutely fine, but if you are trying to present art to a gallery, it isn't the way to go about it. As a rule of thumb, you should make sure that the artwork points to the fold in the middle of two pages of your portfolio. This is best explained by using a profile picture, whereby the face should point to the inside of the portfolio. With a drawing that is made in landscape format, the bottom of the picture should be on the inside of the portfolio. This way, you will have a fully presentable portfolio.
