Protecting Your Watercolour Masterpieces: Framing, Handling, and Care

Watercolour, with its delicate washes and vibrant hues, is a medium that demands respect for its inherent sensitivity. Even after drying, the paper retains a vulnerability to moisture, making proper handling and framing crucial for long-term preservation.

Gentle Touch: Always handle your watercolour artwork with dry hands. Moisture can cause the paper to warp, the paint to bleed, and the delicate details to fade.

Framing for Longevity: Opt for a frame with glass instead of plastic for the transparent area. While plastic may seem cheaper, it can react with the watercolour pigments over time, causing discolouration and damage. Glass provides a more inert barrier, protecting your artwork's vibrancy for generations.

Remember:

Clean hands: Always wash your hands thoroughly before handling your watercolour paintings.
Proper storage: Store your artwork in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Professional framing: Consider having your watercolour paintings professionally framed to ensure proper support and protection.

By following these simple tips, you can ensure your cherished watercolours remain radiant and beautiful for years to come.

Love
