Oil Paintings

Our oil paintings are created with high-quality materials and sealed with a premium varnish to protect the colours and surface for years to come. To ensure your artwork stays in excellent condition, please keep the following in mind:

1. Displaying Your Painting

• Hang your painting in a space with low traffic to avoid accidental bumps or falls.

• Avoid placing it where it will receive direct sunlight. Prolonged UV exposure can cause fading and may lead to cracking due to the heat of the sun.

• Ensure the wall is dry and stable to prevent moisture damage.

2. Handling and Protection

• Do not drop the artwork. The wooden frame can be damaged, and paint along the edges may chip or wear.

• Always handle the painting by the frame, not the canvas surface.

3. Cleaning Your Painting
Over time, a painting may gather dust. Because it is varnished, it can be cleaned safely with the following methods:

• Gently dust using a soft, dry brush (a clean makeup brush works well).

• For slightly tougher dirt, use a soft cloth lightly dampened with cool distilled water and a very small amount of mild soap.

• For textured areas, gently dab with a cotton swab instead of wiping.

• Always test your cleaning method on a small, hidden corner first.

• Never scrub, and never use household cleaners.

Charcoal & Pencil Drawings

Our charcoal and pencil artworks are made using professional-grade materials designed for longevity and rich tonal quality. However, these mediums are naturally delicate and require careful handling.

1. Smudging Prevention

• Charcoal and graphite can smudge easily when touched.

• Human skin produces natural oils, which can stain or mark Fabriano paper when handled directly.

• Avoid touching the surface of the drawing at all times.
  

2. Paper Care

• Fabriano paper is durable but can still bend, fold, or crease if not stored properly.

• Store drawings flat and in a dry environment until you frame them.
  

3. Best Protection

• The most reliable way to preserve a charcoal or pencil drawing is to frame it behind glass.

• Framing protects the artwork from dust, smudging, fingerprints, and environmental damage.
