Caring for your oil painting

• Display indoors, away from prolonged direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, and significant changes in temperature or humidity.

• Dust gently when needed using a clean, soft, dry brush. Avoid water, household cleaners, solvents, or cleaning products on the painted surface.

• When handling the artwork, hold it by the frame or wooden stretcher bars and avoid touching the painted surface.

• Oil paint continues to cure gradually over time. Avoid placing anything directly against the painted surface, particularly during the first year.

• If the painting requires cleaning, restoration, or revarnishing in the future, professional conservation is recommended.

Transport & storage

Keep the artwork upright and protected from pressure or impact. If storing for an extended period, keep it in a clean, dry environment and avoid plastic or other materials resting directly against the painted surface.
