How do I care for watercolour paintings?

Watercolours on paper require protection behind glass and mounting away from direct sunlight to prevent the pigments from fading. Keep them in rooms with stable humidity levels to avoid paper distortion. Avoid hanging them in damp areas or where strong temperature fluctuations occur.

What is the difference between oils and watercolours here?

Oil paintings utilise oil-based pigments on canvas or wood, offering rich textures and deep colour saturation. Watercolours use water-based pigments on paper, producing a lighter, more translucent finish. Oils are generally heavier and less susceptible to light fading than works on paper.
