Caring for Your Painting

Thank you for acquiring one of my pieces. I truly appreciate your support and hope the artwork brings you lasting enjoyment.

Here are essential rules to follow

  • Oil paintings are traditionally framed open to the air & do not require a glass panel cover. Displaying an oil painting without a barrier allows the surface to breathe & helps reduce the risk of moisture becoming trapped.

    If you choose to frame your painting with glass, ensure that the glass does not press against the painted surface. Always use a mount or spacer to create a gap.

  • If displaying a painting on a wall, the frame should be hung with a slight downward tilt to minimise glare & reduce light reflections.

  • Keep your painting in a cool, dry space. Try to avoid placing in direct sunlight as this can cause fading over time.

  • Gently dust the surface with a soft, dry brush. Avoid using water or household cleaners.

  • For protection during transport, only use acid free paper to wrap paintings as this prevents sticking. Use corner protectors and bubble wrap for cushioning.
