Taking care of your oil and acrylic paintings:
Light, Temperature and Humidity
Fabric, wood and paints, which are the main components of your
oil paintings and acrylic paintings, are sensitive materials. Try to avoid strong light levels because too much light may cause discoloration and/or fading of your paintings. Make sure your oil and acrylic paintings are displayed in an area where they are not exposed to direct sunlight. Also avoid especially high levels of artificial light such as halogen lights hung too near the top of the picture frame.
High levels and fluctuations of temperature and humidity may cause the paint to crack and peel off. Display paintings in areas where they are not exposed to direct sunlight, fireplaces and especially high levels of artificial light.
Smoke, Pests and Dirt
Smoke may cause the accumulation of soot on your paintings. Try to avoid displaying expensive
oil and acrylic paintings in areas where smoking is allowed or near fireplaces.
From time to time, take your paintings off the wall and examine them for the presence of pests. If you find small holes on the back of the canvas or on the frame, little worm-like insects, or a substance which looks like sawdust, put the painting in a plastic bag and call for professional advice on how to get rid of the pests.
Use a delicate brush to gently remove surface dirt from your paintings. Be careful not to bump or scratch the painting. If the paint is damaged in any way, avoid dusting altogether. The back of the painting may be cleaned by vacuuming or brushing, after it is removed from the frame and placed on a clean surface. It is recommended to use a dust cover on the back of the painting to protect it from dirt. More thorough cleaning of the work should be carried out by a professional.
Handling and Moving an oil or acrylic Painting
Handle your paintings with extreme caution. When you move a painting, make sure you are grasping it securely from both sides. Do not hold it by its hanging wire or by the top. Try to avoid bumping the painting into walls or into furniture. Before handling your painting, remember to take off sharp jewelry and belt buckles, in order to avoid scratches and tears. |
