Hi if anyone can help, I have a 50cm width by 70cm hieght art paper I am going to paint, but want to mount and frame it. It is a portrait of 2 people, and not sure how to work out what size mount to put on it. Then the frame, but its the mount I am trying to find, and wasnt sure if I simply buy a 70x50cm mount?

Is that the size you wish to have the mount? You could look at larger, if you wished, so long as the window is less than 50x70, as you need overlap behind it so you can secure your paper. Wherever you are getting it from should be able to tell you the window size as well as the outside size, and that will help you decide whether that window size is suitable for you.
