There are different kinds of artworks and paintings according to the medium being used, like charcoal painting, oil paintings, watercolor and many others. The medium being used in the paintings vary from the character and the expertise of the painter. But whatever the materials used, we must always take good care of these items because they are works of art, and here are some ways to help you with it.

When handling these items, you must make sure that you will no be able to touch the surface of the painting. Remember that your skin produces natural oils and acids, and once you touch these with your bare hands, the oils will transfer and it may affect the color of your art. The best thing to do is to wear gloves when handling these kinds of items.

When it comes to displaying these items, you should beware on where to place them. Do not display them in a spot where the heat of the sun can pass through. Remember that these are very delicate things and sunlight could damage them. It could fade the color of the art and would be replaced with a yellowish color. Pick a spot where there is no excessive sunlight.

Do not also display these things in a place where there is an enormous amount of heat for this is an enemy of most artworks. Avoid placing them near the generator, back of your refrigerator or any spot where there is heat. The heat could really destroy the art as it would take away the moisture in the art.

If you have paintings that are not in display, store them properly. The storage should be in a room that is clean and well ventilated area and avoid placing it in the room where there is extreme heat like in garage and attics. When storing them, let it stand if it is farmed painting while those unframed ones, let it lie flat in a certain table or platform so nobody can step on it.

When it comes to cleaning these things, make sure you are using the right cleaning materials. Do not use cloth when cleaning those that are not laminated paintings, instead use a feather duster that is of good quality. Just softly dust if off to remove the dirt. For those that are laminated, use the appropriate cleaning agent and do not just use any cleaner as it might leave a blurry texture to the glass.

Avoid the do it yourself repair for paintings if you are not an expert. To be safe, consult someone who can do repairs in the framing of your painting or who could restore the painting itself. Just leave this aspect to the expert because they have wider knowledge as to how they will restore you precious arts so that it can be displayed again in your homes.
