If you are an enthusiast of oil painting or recently
purchased an artwork on canvas, you would certainly want to preserve it for
years. Well, the first thing that you must do is hang it in a place where you
can see and appreciate the beauty of oil on canvas. A piece of art is always purchased to savor
its beauty and not leave it inside the storeroom or in the basement. Hanging a
painting is always the ideal way to store that. Always ensure that the string
and the hook are robust and placed correctly.
Moreover, cross check
the support as many times as possible. The support is a frame that basically extends
the canvas and provides it rigidity. It is important to make sure that that the
frame is accurately and firmly made so that the canvas gets properly stretched.
It will also help to bring out the true beauty of the painting. Another
important rule of storing oil canvas paintings is to
hang them in a cool dry place so that they do not get exposed to the
destructive weather elements. Storing in room temperature is the ideal way, but
be extra cautious that it is not in the direct passage of air conditioning or
electric fans. This will make sure that the painting does not get exposed to needless
moisture or gets too much direct sunlight.
Most often, a painting gets holes and scratches due to
careless and unnecessary handling. You can avoid it by keeping it in a place
where kids or pets cannot damage it, and you touch it when cleaning is
necessary. You can increase the lifespan of these valuable canvas art paintings
by following these easy yet useful tips. The above mentioned techniques will
definitely make your oil paintings last longer than expected. You will
naturally feel good when your chosen artwork is appreciated even by the next
generation.
