Original art is an investment not only valued monetarily. Your painting will be appreciated by future generations. <\/p>

Acrylic paintings are expected to have a longer life span than oil paintings, and are considered more resistant to aging. <\/p>

All of my acrylic paintings are painted on a cotton canvas that is secured to a wooden stretcher frame for support. <\/p>

The canvas normally has one or more preparation layers applied to its surface before the various paint layers are applied. <\/p>

DON’T<\/strong>: Do not attempt to clean the surface by using solvents or cleaning products of any kind. In fact, it is discouraged to use any liquid, including water, to clean the surface of your acrylic painting. <\/p>

DO<\/strong>: Do use compressed air in a can to blow away surface dust. Another technique involves using a dry soft sable brush to lightly brush the surface.<\/p>
