Watercolor Paintings in Paintings

How can I protect my watercolor painting from getting dirty?

The best way to protect your watercolor painting print is to put it in a frame. Frames can be easily cleaned so the picture itself won’t get spoiled if it needs a wipe-over. Alternatively, if you keep it up high out of reach of any sticky fingers, it will have a better chance of staying clean.

Can a canvas get sun damaged?

Yes, canvases can be damaged by the sun and can fade if left in direct sunlight, so it’s best to keep them on a wall that doesn’t get direct sunlight for long periods of time.

How can I know if the watercolor painting I buy is an original?

Most watercolor paintings and canvases bought from retail stores are prints. If you are looking for an original, you would generally buy directly from the artist or from an art dealer. An original print will be considerably more expensive than a print and is usually signed.
