HOW TO CARE FOR ARTWORKS ?
CARE RECOMMENDED FOR YOUR ARTWORK.
All of the original artworks are made using acrylic and acrylic mediums on canvas. The canvas normally has one or more preparation layers applied to its surface before any acrylic or medium is then applied. After the painting has been completed and signed, final layers of varnish are applied to protect the painting from the accumulation of dust and dirt.
FOR ORIGINALS
DONT'S
1. Do not allow any rigid object to press against the front or back surface of the stretched canvas as this could create permanent indentation damage. When storing or transferring, take care to protect the canvas surfaces from becoming dinged or dented. If though, your canvas painting does get slightly stretched or dented in an area, sometimes spraying water on the back side ( the unpainted side) of the canvas can shrink the stretch/dent. It depends on how severe the indentation is. If unsure about doing this yourself, have a professional do it.
2. When handling your painting, please avoid touching or handling the surface of the painting. Your skins’ oils contain acids and can damage the artwork with prolonged handling. To hold and move your painting, please handle it by the sides. You can also handle it by the wire that is attached to the back. To be extra cautious, you may wear gloves to handle your painting.
3. It is not advisable to place the artwork above a heat source such as fireplaces, radiators etc. In addition to the damage caused by radiating heat, dirt that rises with the heat may cause damage. It is unadvisable to hang artworks in a moist environment such as a room which has a bath or shower. Rapid environmental fluctuations will be harmful to the painting.
4. Ultraviolet light should be kept away from the artworks as fugitive dyes and colorants used in paints will eventually discolor under exposure to this type of light. The fading of pigments and dyes will affect the color balance of the artwork.
5. Do not ever attempt to clean the surface by using solvents or cleaning products of any kind. Cleaning liquids may actually embed the dirt into the painting and cause permanent liquid lines over the surface. In fact, it is discouraged to use any liquid, including water, to clean the surface of your acrylic painting.
DO'S
1. Do use compressed air in a can to blow away surface dust or use a delicate brush to gently remove surface dirt from your artwork.
2. Be careful not to bump or scratch the painting. If the paint is damaged in any way, avoid dusting altogether.
3. The best type of light for your painting is indirect sunlight, recessed lighting, and halogen lights (not ultraviolet).
4. Do seek out professional services if you find, after years of display, that cleaning with compressed air or a soft brush do not remove the dirt. Seek out professional services appropriate for the piece(if possible). Consider an experienced art conservator who will know the correct method due to their extensive training and experience. The risk of damage to the painting will be much less if it is cleaned by a reputable professional in the field of fine art conservation.
With proper care, you can keep your paintings alive and living for generations. Please enjoy your painting!

FOR ART PRINTS
Handling Your Art Prints
1. Prints on paper are fragile and can be easily damaged by incorrect handling, often without the person doing the damage being aware of what they are doing !
2. Always open your print gently, with freshly cleaned and dry hands. Try to avoid touching the printed surface with bare fingers (as oil and debris can transfer from your hands onto the print).
3. It’s probably unlikely, but if you happen to own any white cotton gloves, they are perfect for the job, however if not, freshly clean hands will be fine.
4. Holding or moving a print incorrectly or with one hand can cause a kink/crease in the paper which will be permanent.
5. Keep your New Art Print covered in the acid free tissue paper (if possible) (or acid free protective sleeve for smaller prints) until it is framed to avoid any damage.
6. Frame the print or order pre - framed prints for longevity and display in a room free from moisture.
Cleaning Your Print
1. The artist recommends using a clean, dry, soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe dust off your print.
2. Don’t try to clean your art print with a damp cloth, water or any solvents.
3. As said above, we recommend framing your print for longevity and displaying in a room free from moisture.
When treated with care, your art print is guaranteed to enhance the look and feel of your space.
