Caring for Your Watercolor Artwork
Blog: Amy’s Palette Perspective
Watercolor paintings are exquisite yet delicate creations that need special attention to maintain their beauty. As an art enthusiast, it’s crucial to know how to care for your watercolors to preserve their allure. Here are some simple tips:
Handle delicately:
Use clean, dry hands when touching your watercolor art. Avoid placing anything on the painted surface.
Protect from sunlight:
Keep your paintings away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Choose UV-protective glass for framing or display in shaded areas.
Maintain dryness:
Water and moisture are enemies of watercolor art. Store them in cool, dry spaces and avoid humid environments.
Frame wisely:
Use quality frames with UV protection and acid-free matting to shield from dust and environmental elements.
Proper storage:
If storing, use acid-free paper and keep paintings flat to avoid damage.
Gentle cleaning:
Use a soft, dry brush for cleaning. Avoid water unless necessary.
By following these tips, you can ensure your watercolor collection remains vibrant and protected. Give your artwork the care it deserves!
