It’s not enough to simply be a lover of art; your precious collection of scenery paintings and other precious artwork has to be carefully protected. Here are a few tips that will help you keep your artwork in mint condition at all times.
Be it your scenery paintings or other types of artwork, keeping things safe, secure and in pristine condition is the need of the hour. This is important if you perceive your scenery paintings or other artwork as a valuable asset in your household.
You can consider regular maintenance for your scenery paintings and other artwork. You can do this by dusting regularly with a soft, dry and fine brush. Use a damp cloth for frames or something that you use anyway for furniture, depending on the frame material.
You may also keep paper away from humid zones, i.e. in kitchens or near bathrooms. For canvas mats which are stained and exposed, use toothbrushes with soapy water and gently wet the whole mat. The stains due to water should go away instantly.
Make sure that your artwork is not exposed to sunlight since this can cause damage through yellowing of paper. If you have no choice but to keep artwork displayed in areas occasionally exposed to sunlight, choose to frame with glass that is UV protected.
There are various grades although this could be a costly affair. Oil paintings may also change colour with prolonged and direct sunlight exposure. Keep these away from sunlight as much as possible.
When it comes to storage, make sure that the artwork is wrapped up neatly in brown paper and then with bubble wrap. Put frame corners for all four corners of the art piece and then put the artwork in a solid box. This should be something like a box that is used to store mirrors and so on.
For unframed paper artwork, make use of plastic sleeves with cardboard that is acid-free. This will help in ensuring that the paper does not eventually bend. A little care and time on your part will go a long way towards keeping your precious artwork in mint condition at all times.
