How to care for new oil painting

When you buy or get on the newly painted oil paintings, it is very likely that it was not really “dry” until now. Can take a painting from several months to a year to “dry” despite feeling dry to the touch. Therefore, we distinguish between these two states of dryness:

Modern People-7,100% hand painted

seconds :. Be dry to touch the physical (with one week to one month)

healing : Dry Chemical (with several months to a year)

1 uncured paints are more fragile, especially in the early stages of treatment
P only at the beginning of treatment, you can physically feel the difference between the painting and thought for a cure, such as painting a vintage feel, “” soft, almost rubbery. (Please do not test it by running your fingers on the new paint that you intend to maintain the paint is very susceptible to damage, even if the color rubbed off the paint has dried). Therefore, keep in mind that you want to protect your paint from being scratched, rubbed against, or rubbing off of color (such as touch or use a piece of ordinary cloth). When all the dust coating, and use a soft cloth or feather duster is still a bit of forced air to dust with the plates can be removed after treatment.

2. Require oxygen to retrieve

oil paints cure through oxidation, and how you store the paint will make a difference in treatment times. Therefore, the closure of the case without ventilation or will be put against each crystal in the development, slow to a large extent and time treatment. If you want to use the glass with the frame, and to ensure that you have at least 1,5 cm or about? Inch of air between the glass and paint, and this can slow down time and drying, but at least it will cure and protect it from scratch.

3. Non-oil paintings can be cast a dark or light sensitive.

since treatment of the oil paint is a chemical process, and some pigments respond to excessive lighting. As with any painting, avoid hanging in direct sunlight or near bright halogen lamps will fade, but only during the treatment period (up to one year) should avoid that and put it in the dark all the time. From experience, I found that the maintenance of fresh paint painted oil in a dark room for the process of treating the cause of white pigment to yellow. Plus the paint is to be healing, and less dark sensitive and, when cured, is no longer sensitive to the dark and not a problem ..

4. Do not use varnish or liquids of any kind (at least) until it is healed.

during the period of treatment, or in the first year to make sure, let alone anything from the coating liquid. Liquids of any kind, including solvents can interact and even ruin your oil painting, even when it heals. Please look at this issue based on the elements to be used in the protection of your paintings, and do not have to test your paint before full recovery. Keep in mind that some chemicals will react with the paint still oil or hardened oils soften and ruin your paint.
Finally, keep in mind that the proper care, oil paintings go on forever, almost. Photos generally not even acid free photo paper and the end of the age and oxidation and become brittle over time. With care, and oil paintings can remain intact for several centuries, and we hope to become to be sent to your family treasures.
