Oil painting collection has now become an important category of art investment. How to collect oil paintings is also one of the issues that many collectors are eager to address. Therefore, we have specially compiled some methods for preserving oil paintings:

★ You can apply two thin layers of natural beeswax that has been dissolved in turpentine on the back of the canvas, which can completely prevent the infiltration of humid air and avoid damage.

★ Oil paintings should avoid long-term direct exposure to sunlight because ultraviolet rays are highly destructive to colors, causing fading and discoloration.

★ It is strictly forbidden to paste two paintings together. Avoid the adhesion caused by rising temperature, which may cause the paint to fall off and the picture to be damaged.

★ When rolling up the oil painting, make the canvas face inward and the picture face outward. Wrap an outer layer of paper tube and then cover it with plastic wrap to prevent cracking of the picture.

★ When storing oil paintings, pay attention to ventilation and moisture prevention. Try to keep them away from bathrooms and kitchens. Be careful to prevent damage caused by dust and cooking fumes to the canvas. The room should maintain a certain temperature and humidity. Wet paintings must be slowly dried in the shade. Avoid direct exposure to the sun; otherwise, the picture is prone to fall off.

★ If dust accumulates on the wall-hung oil paintings, you can gently wipe them with a slightly damp clean cloth. If there is cooking oil on the surface of the oil painting, you can try to clean it with a slightly diluted soap water and clean water gently, then quickly use a sponge to absorb the water on the picture surface, and then use an electric fan to gently blow on the surface of the picture. For oil paintings with a long history and cracks, you must use less water and perform local dry wiping. If you use professional varnish to maintain the oil paintings, before spraying the varnish, use a clean cloth to wipe the picture surface clean.

★ Generally, oil paintings can be preserved for two to three hundred years. However, over time, some oil paintings may develop cracks after several decades. If there are many collections, you can wrap the oil paintings with plastic wrap and place them in a wooden box to prevent hard damage.
