Oil Painting
Does an oil painting need to breathe to preserve it’s life or quality?
I am hoping you can help me. I am trying to find out the current info and thoughts as to whether an oil painting needs to breathe to preserve it’s life and quality? I was told to glue and nail a piece of plywood to the back of a torquing/twisted canvas frame on oil, and one framer said that was bad since it would prevent the oil from breathing, while another said the current discovery is actually that an oil painting should not be exposed to the air. Can you help direct me to info on this? Was there an article in your publication about this?
Hi, I have about 45 oil paintings in my collection which has held up well for 25 years. All paintings are varnished when dry so they are well protected.
A few tips:
1) Its ok to expose them to air ; why have them if they are not around to be enjoyed.
2) It is best to have them in some decent humidity 4- – 50 % the museums tell me.
3) The worst enemy of any panting, oil and especially water colors is sun light. Never hang a painting in direct sunlight for any period of time other than a few minutes or an hour or two.
4) Don’t stoew, especially canvasas in wet areas or you can get some rot and mold.
5) Keep them away from direct dry heat or iver time they may crack.
6) Above all never expose them to cigarette smoke!!
7) Clean oils, not acrylics with very mild soap and water and a very soft cloth.
