How to Care for Your Painting
Do’s
• Only hold the painting by the wooden stretcher bars.
• Only use an ultra-soft bristle makeup brush for light dusting of the painting's surface (being rough will likely scratch the painting's surface and/or remove varnish and paint flakes)
• Ideal lighting placement for longevity of the painting's colors is indirect sunlight and/or recessed lighting.
Don’ts
• Don't apply pressure to the canvas surface (front or back), as this may result in stretching and/or cracks in the paint.
• Don't hang/fix painting above a heat source or moist areas (like a bathroom).
• Do not use liquids to clean the painting's surface
