Stretching and Framing
Choose how you'd like your painting finished - from stretched canvas to solid oak frames in three tones.
Caring for your painting
1
Hanging
Choose a wall away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators or fireplaces. North or east-facing walls offer the most stable conditions for oil on linen.
2
Cleaning
Dust occasionally with a clean, dry, soft-bristled brush. Never use water, solvents, or cleaning products on the paint surface. Do not wipe with cloth or tissue.
3
Humidity and temperature
Avoid bathrooms, kitchens, or spaces with significant temperature fluctuations. A consistent indoor environment is ideal.
4
Handling
Hold the frame or stretcher bar when moving the work — never touch the painted surface directly.
5
Long-term
Oil paint continues to cure for years after application. No varnishing or additional treatment is required.
