this page. These instructions apply whether the purchaser chooses to
mount their own artwork or have it professionally mounted:
For paintings wrapped over stretched canvas requiring no framing, avoid
placing the art in rooms subject to airborne kitchen cooking oils or other
airborne "dirt". Clean any accumulated dust using "canned air" - aerosal
cans often used to clean computers and peripherals - or carefully vaccuum
using a brush attachment.
If you run into any problems or have questions not addressed on this page,
please feel free to email me.
mount their own artwork or have it professionally mounted:
- Always use acid-free mat board, backing, adhesive, etc.
- Double matting is suggested to avoid flattening the cloth against glass
or plexiglass.. - Artwork is better displayed when the cloth does not touch the mat (see
matted artwork for examples - click Southwest or Hawaiian) - NEVER use any household glue to attach the artwork to the backing
board (it will discolor the cloth). Instead, it is best to use acid-free,
double-sided mounting tape. - Frame under glass or plexiglass.
- If the artwork will be hung where it will be subjected to sunlight, be sure
to use UV protection to avoid color change. - Make sure the framed piece has a dust cover (usually paper glued to
the back of the frame) to keep the artwork dust-free.
