D-rings placed on the sides of a the frame
-
Backing boards and dust covers to insure dust and bugs cannot enter the package.
-
Watercolors, pencil drawings, pen and ink sketches, etc should be hung in the package on a backing board with linen tape, at the top in a “T shape, in an envelope enclosure.
Protection: Tears, scratches and dents are most likely to happen when your painting is off the wall so make sure you know where your painting is going before you move it. Rest paintings against a clear wall surface, away from doorways, furniture and passing people. Handle your painting with clean and dry hands. When carrying your painting carry it from the sides and not the top of the frame.
Hanging: handle painting by using both hands. Do not lift it from the top of the framing.
-
Avoid direct sunlight, UV rays can destroy color in a painting, the influx of heat can cause expansion and contraction.
-
Avoid hanging close to shelves, furniture, behind doors, or busy areas.
-
Avoid hanging over direct heat or moisture sources, for example, right over fires, radiators, heaters, hot water or central heating pipes; in bathrooms, kitchens or around swimming pools.
-
Avoid hanging over or next to outdoor vents, or on damp walls.
-
Avoid hanging in rooms that are only heated in the winter
-
Picture lights attached to the top of a painting, they can get hot. It is best to take advice on lighting.
-
Paintings build up dirt quickly in rooms with open fireplaces or where people smoke.
-
D-rings should be placed on the sides of the frame, not the top.
-
Use good quality picture wire or medium gauge fishing string, and create a double loop system at each ring.
-
If you use alarms attach them to the back of the frame or backboards and not the back of the canvas or panel. Eventually it will cause sagging and discoloration
Cleaning: Paintings will collect dust and dirt. Use a very soft nylon brush, Do not dust if the surface appears unstable. If your painting is framed with glass, spray glass cleaner onto the cloth and not the glass. A backing boards or paper prevent dust and dirt from accumulating on the back.
Repairs: repair or further cleaning is a skilled process and should only be carried out by a fully qualified conservator.
