Art is meant to be displayed, appreciated, and admired.
So, here are some simple care tips to keep your newly adopted artwork vibrant:
- Keep away from direct sunlight: UV rays can fade colors.
- Place in a cool dry place: to prevent cracking or warping.
- Dust regularly: Use a dry cloth or a gentle feather duster.
- Handle with clean hands: Oils from your skin can damage the surface.
All mediums are finished with their respective sealant:
- Gouache - Fixative spray
- Acrylic - Gloss / Matte varnish
- Oil - Gloss varnish
- Watercolor - Fixative spray
I recommend framing any artwork made on paper (with a glass) and mounting canvases on a secured hook or frame.
Art prints are very durable, but maintaining them in dust-free environments helps preserve their quality over time.
