Proper care is essential to preserving the beauty of your oil painting. Here are some key tips to ensure its longevity.

Keep it out of direct sunlight.

UV rays will speed up aging and cause cracking. Heat will cause discoloration. Indirect light is the way to go.

Watch the humidity.

Too much moisture will cause warping and mold. Too little will cause cracking. Aim for a stable, moderate environment.

Mind the temperature.

Keep it away from heat sources like fireplaces, radiators, or vents. Temperature swings can cause cracking.

Dust gently & No Harsh cleaning.

A soft, dry brush (like a clean makeup or artist’s brush) is safer than a cloth, which can snag. Skip soap and water.

Handle with care.

Always lift it from the sides with clean hands and never press or pull on the canvas.

Frame it right.

A good frame adds protection, and if it’s unframed, avoid resting it against rough surfaces that can scratch.

Storage matters.

If you’re not displaying it, keep it upright in a dry, cool space with protective padding. Do not stack.

Follow these steps to keep your artwork looking its best over time.
