Atelier 04 · Thirty degrees
Art Light
Positions an accent light by the 30 degree rule for your ceiling and hanging height, suggests the beam angle for the size of the work, gives the lux ceiling for its medium and turns hours of light per day into the exposure a museum would allow.

01The 150 line
Hanging Height
Height of the work, the furniture under it, the hardware on the back. Out comes the hook height in centimetres and where the second hook goes.
02Paper first, on screen
Gallery Wall
Your wall, your furniture, your frames, drawn to scale. Drag them into a composition, snap the gaps, print the layout with hook heights.
03Sizes and glass
Frame and Mat
Sheet size in, everything else out: mat borders with the weighted bottom, outer frame size, glass area, weight and a cost band by glazing.
05Colour from the canvas
Palette from a Work
Load a photograph of the work. The tool reads its five main colours in order of area and turns them into a wall, two textiles and one accent, with the hex codes.
