How To Take Care Of Your Watercolor Marine Art Prints

By Walter Murray


Our home is our safe ground and our comfort zone. We must ensure that we always keep it lovely to look at and that the interior should be refreshing to our eyes. Some of the things that make it beautiful are the furniture, antiques, art paintings and many others.

Adding up these stuffs could really make our interior look livelier and prettier. It does not really matter whatever kind of artwork that we would display in our home because all of it are indeed beautiful, especially if they are watercolor marine art prints. We should not disregard these things because aside from the beauty it brings, it also relaxes our eyes.

Paintings vary from sizes, designs and also the medium being used by the painter. There some painter who uses pastel, oil, charcoal and many others. But no matter what these kind of paintings are, the important thing is that we must give it proper care and below are some techniques in doing such.

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.

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.

Never display these items also to a place in your house where there is an excessive heat, like at the back of refrigerator or near the stove, or anywhere where there is considerable amount of heat. This is actually the best enemy of most artworks. The heat will speed up the chemical reaction and it could cause dryness and degradation of materials.

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.

If in case these things got destroyed, do not ever try to fix it on your own. Better seek the help of the experts because they are more knowledgeable when it comes to these kinds of materials. You do not have to worry since they are well verse with these items.
