An original acrylic painting is sturdy, but its raised textures call for a few precautions. Here are the simple steps to know.
On delivery
- Unpack the work lying flat, on a clean, clear surface.
- Do not use a box cutter near the canvas; cut the packaging along the edges.
- Keep the packaging until you have checked that everything is in order.
Hanging
- Place the centre of the painting at eye level, usually between 1.45 and 1.55 m from the floor.
- For large formats, use two hanging points.
- Choose a dry wall, away from direct sunlight, radiators and fireplaces.
Care
- Dust with a wide, soft brush, always dry.
- Never use water or household cleaning products on the painted surface.
- Avoid damp rooms such as bathrooms.
