Each painting leaves the studio finished with a protective varnish. Here's how to keep it looking its best for years to come:

• Dusting: Gently wipe with a dry microfiber cloth — no water, no sprays
• Curing time: Oil paintings can take up to 12 months to fully cure. Avoid placing anything directly on the surface during this period
• Sunlight: Keep artwork away from direct sunlight and high-UV areas to preserve color and vibrancy long-term
• Framing: Highly recommended — framing protects the edges and prevents the canvas and wood from warping over time
