By Walter Murray

These things added beauty to our interior. It makes the interior of house look lovely and entertaining to the eyes, especially to our visitors. Possessing paintings, like watercolor marine art prints, is indeed a treasure to your house.

Paintings are of different kinds and they differ in regards to the medium used. There are paintings like oil painting, pastel, watercolor, charcoal and many others. Having these items are good possessions but whatever these arts are made of, we must give it an utmost care since they are a treasure to the painter. Consider some of these methods in caring for your artworks.

Handling paintings is one most common cause of the damage of these items. When handling it, avoid touching the painting itself. Once you touch them, the natural oils in your fingers and the dirt would also transfer to the painting, which could then damage it. One way to perfectly handle these things is to use a clean gloves and touch it only on the frame.

After you have bought your painting, you would then want to display it. Always remember that when you display them, put them in a spot where there is not sunlight that could strike through it. Direct exposure to sunlight could damage the quality of your art. It could create a discoloration in your painting. Make sure you display it away from the heat of the sun.

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.

When storing those paintings which are not displayed, make sure that you keep it in a dry, clean and dark area. Ensure that the room is always clean and that there is no enormous heat that surrounds the room which could possibly destroy these items. Lie flat those which are not framed and see to it that it is not blocking the way so that it would not be stepped on.

Dust is a part of our everyday life so you should clean these things everyday too. For paintings that has no protective glass, use a soft feather duster to wipe the dust away and do not use a cloth when cleaning it for it may wipe the color away. For those who have protective glass, consult an expert on what cleaner to use so that it would not damage the clearness of 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.
